It was just supposed to be a simple in and out job. No one was supposed to use their guns. Zack shot one of the guards and now we are waiting inside trying to find a way out. Zack took over and Gage was no longer in charge. She tried controlling him but Zack was scared and didn't want to go to Jail. Gage didn't give me a gun but I did have a weapon, a knife. She didn't want me accidentally firing like Zack did. Honestly I didn't even want to do this job. I'm just the hacker in all of this.
"Tell them to leave and everything is all right once they get here. You even signal them I will shoot you." Zack told the manager of the bank. I had fixed the cameras to make it seem like a regular malfunction.
"Zack, stop! No one else needs to get hurt. Lets just stick with plan B." Gage said trying to change his mind. Zack just ignored her. Once Zack shot the guard, Gage took my weapon and made me be with the hostages. I was only 14 years old and I couldn't get arrested. No one knew that I had helped them, that I was one of the robbers. When the manager came back, I knew he did something to tell the officer about us because ten minutes later the cameras came on. I was the only one to realize this.
"What the hell did you tell them?!" Zack yelled at the manager. The manager didn't say anything. Zack looked to me and pulled me out from the hostages. "Tell me and she lives." I stayed calm and looked the manager in the eye. I let a few tears out of my eyes and tried to look terrified.
"Just leave them alone! We don't need to harm an innocent little girl! Lets just give ourselves up!" Gage yelled pulling Zacks hand trying to break his grip on me. Gage hit Zack causing the gun to go off. I felt wetness on my back and it running down my back. I fell forwards. It felt like slow motion. I watched Gage catch my head before I hit it on the floor. Gage called my name but she sounded so far away. I blacked out but then came back.
"This is all your fault! You shot my sister!" Gage yelled.
"My fault?! Why did you even bring her along?!" Zack yelled back.
"G...Gage." I coughed and tasted the metallic blood in my mouth.
"I'm here, I'm right here Paris." She took my hand.
"I..." I coughed again, blood spilling past my lips.
"Don't talk, just, just relax and keep focusing on breathing."
"No, you need to know." I took a breath before continuing. "I found her, I found Carly. I wanted to wait to tell you. She's in Florida in a girls group home. You need to get out of here and go get her. Remember what I told you before, go now. Before its too late. Take this with you. I love you Gage." I coughed up more blood and it was getting really hard to breath. I started blacking out again. Last thing I heard was a goodbye and love you from Gage and I watched as she left.
"Female, 14 years old, GSR to the back. No exit wound. We had to resuscitate on the way here twice. She's a fighter I can tell you that. Her name is Paris." The paramedic said as I was wheeled into the hospital. It felt like a dream. It was like an out of the body experience. I watched myself get put into a hospital room and nurses surround me and a couple doctors started checking the wound on my back. I watched as the doctors started shouting orders. I looked to the entrance of the hospital and saw Gage walk in. I walked up to her.
"What are you doing here? Your supposed to be going to go get Carly. The police are on their way here you need to leave." I said and stood right in front of her. She looked around for someone.
"Excuse me, they brought in a girl age 14 with a gun shot wound to the back, is there a way I can find out how she is doing?" She asked a nurse.
"Are you family?" The nurse asked her.
"Sort of, please I'm all she has right now. Her parents died when she was 8 years old. She has no other blood related family. She's like a sister to me." Gage pleaded.
"Gage no! Just leave I will be fine. You need to go get Carly before its too late." I tried again but she couldn't hear me.
"Okay, stay here and I will check." The nurse said giving in. She left but then came back a few minutes later. "Your sister is in critical condition. She is going to be going into surgery right away. Can you stay here and fill out some papers. We need to get some information like blood type and basically her medical history."
"Umm, yeah I can do that but I have to be somewhere to get my daughter. Can I leave a number for you to call so I can get update on how she is?"
"Yeah, just write down on the paper I will give you." Gage stayed and every minute she did I was worried for her and Carly. After filling everything out she left. I followed her out and to the car. She looked at the thumb drive I gave her that had everything she needed for Carly. She started driving towards Florida. It took her 2 days to get to the place but she got there. The hospital called telling her that I was in the ICU and in a coma.
"Go in!" I said as she just sat there watching the house. Just as she was getting out the door opened to the house and Carly walked out with an older lady. Carly looked up and saw Gage.
"Mommy!!" She yelled and let go of the lady's hand and ran to Gage. She picked Carly up in her arms. The lady walked down and stared at Gage.
"Here's everything you need. All the paper work and stuff its all done. I'm going to take my daughter home now." And with that Gage put Carly in the car seat in the back and drove away. Just as she was almost to the hospital something was wrong. My head was throbbing and my chest was hurting.
"Mommy, what's wrong with aunt Paris?" Carly asked. I looked to her.
"What are you talking about sweetie?"
"She's hurting look at her. What's wrong?"
"I'm going to be okay Carly. Tell mommy I love her and that I will be okay." I said.
"Aunty Paris said she will be okay, she said she loves you." Gage looked at Carly and stepped on the gas peddle.
Back at the hospital I watched as the doctors tried reviving me.
"Come on little one, stay with us. Fight." The doctor said. It hurt too much I didn't know if I could handle it.
"Your time will come, but today is not your day. We love you sweetheart. Your sister needs you." I heard my mothers voice. Just then everything went white and I opened my eyes seeing the doctors over me. Gage ran into the room and ran to me.
"Don't you dare scare me like that." She said tears on her face. I smiled at her and hugged her.
"I'm sorry, I won't. I love you Gage." I said.
"I love you too."
