Ally

Troy was getting mad that I was spending time with my best friend; Lauren who I quickly got close to lately.

We originally been friends since we were little but we didn't talk growing up but I saw her applying at my bakery store and we got close. She's always been pretty in my eyes but somehow I started having feelings for her. It was something different about her. Troy the other hand wasn't happy I was spending time with her.

"Troy, we're just friends and she's with someone. I don't know why you're getting mad for no reason."

"I know the way you look at her. You never look at me like that."

I was about to say something but my phone went off and I saw her name across the screen.

"Don't you dare answer that."

"You don't get to tell me what to do. Hey Lo"

"We have a situation." Some voice said. I could tell something was wrong. I grabbed my purse and headed to the bakery. I put my phone on mute so the mystery person wouldn't hear me.

Luckily I don't live far from the store. I didn't care if Troy left or got mad but I had to save Lauren.

At the bakery

"Give me all the cash and let her open the safe." The mystery person say.

Lauren had the keys for the register but not for the safe. She looked like she was having trouble with getting it open but I got there in time. I got down and got close to Lauren. She jumped but I told her to be quiet. I handed her the wrong key hoping the person wouldn't think something is wrong. I hid in the cabinet praying to God that I was small first to fit in and for Lauren to be safe.

She tried so many times to open the register.

"What's the hold up?" The person yelled

"It's not my fault, it's these damn keys. They're jammed." She said as she was not nervous or lying.

The mystery person put a gun to Lauren's face and I automatically saw Lauren drop them and put her hands up. I on the other side saw the guy standing between Lauren and the register. I had a knife in my hand and poked it through the hole and then the person let the gun go off and I quickly get off and saw Lauren shaking like jello.

"You okay?" I asked her as she wasn't hurt. The bullet was stuck at the celling and the next minute I noticed I was in pain and Lauren was screaming my name. I saw her green eyes and her worrying face before I close my eyes and our employees, Dinah pushed the guys down and kicked the guns out of the way.  Camila was holding Lauren and Normani was talking to the paramedics. they took Ally in a stretcher and in her truck.

"Is it just 5 of you?" One of the police officers asked.

"Yeah we're not open until an hour later but I guess we'll close for the day. Dinah said.

Lauren was hugged by the 4 of them and the paramedics asked if they could ride with them.

At the hospital.
