The Suprise Of a Lifetime

Choices

Julian's POV

"Your choice. Give the money to me, or the girl gets the consequences."

My stomach sinks.

If I give her the money, thousands more people will die because of me. But if I don't, a good friend dies. I can't do it again.

"Do. Your. Worst."

She Gets a serious look in her eyes. She shrugs and starts slowly walking towards Taylor.

She won't do it. Will she? No.. No..

She continues her slow, dramatic walk. I shake my head. I'm not gonna let her intimidate me. She continues, slowly and softly. I could barely hear her shoes tap on the floor. She got up next to Taylor and looked at me. I keep still. Not moving a muscle. She puts the needle next to Taylor's arm.

"Wait stop! Don't do it!"

Sh looks up at me.

"I'll-Ill fund you...."

"I knew you would come to your senses eventually. Especially since it was an empty threat. The medicine in the syringe was a pain reliver they use at hospitals! This isn't even half a dose!" she laughs

"What- No what? I-I.."

"Too late! Decisions are decisions! I'll go get the fund transfer form!" she says, leaving the room. I watched Taylor, miserable on that table. I wish she wasn't in a coma so that she could hear. But maybe she could.

Taylor's POV

"So, am I dead?"

"Not exactly. You are in a near death experience. Your heart is still beating but you dip out of the world every now and then, usually for long periods of time."

"What's gonna happen to Mark, Kimberly, My Mom, Stepdad? Gabi, Emma, Jay? All the people in my life.... But especially Mark. He'll be devastated."

"Calm yourself Taylor. You don't know what's gonna happen yet." My grandma says

I stroke my silk white dress softly and lean back on the cloud. I stared into the sun but it didn't hurt my eyes, and it wasn't hot. My hair arranged in a 'heavenly' manner around my head. I didn't hurt. I felt no pain, but my heart ached, all I wanted was to wake up next to Mark tomorrow morning and be able to feel his warm embrace around me when I was sad and hear his hilarious voice when he made a joke. Scream when we played a horror game together. I close my eyes and think. I feel a tear roll down my cheek.

"Taylor Bennett, We have been together for a little over a year and a half. I love you more than words can ever express. You're the most thoughtful, generous, kind, and beautiful woman I've ever had the fortune to know and I'd be honored to have the chance to spend my life with you. Will you marry me?"

"Yes."

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Mark Fischbach and Taylor Bennett I now Pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"I'm Taylor by the way. Taylor Bennett."

"Oh, well I'm Mark. Mark Fishbach."

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

I Just want Mark Back. Its not heaven without him. I sigh and roll over. I fall gently asleep.

Julian's POV

Every Now and then, Taylor's Heart would stop for a few seconds. Scared me to death every time. I watched as she breathed through a machine, her heart kept beating by a machine. She was basically a robot. Would she make it out of this?

I couldn't believe it. What would everybody think? I had just let her die and done nothing. I sigh and fumble with my chains a little. If I wasn't chained to this stupid wall I could get up and help her.

I fumble with my chains a little and cut myself on a peiocw of broken glass.

"Owch! Oh- Ffff.... Ouch."

I see the rest on the gound. Some are huge. I see her come back in with the form.

"Alright, let's get down to bussines!" she says

"Let me out first."

"I'm sorry, What?"

"Let. me. out. first."

"Why should I?" she asks

"Cause, if you wasn't that form signed, you'll let me give my wrists a break for 5 minutes."

"How do I know you won't run?"

"There's really no where to run."

"Alright, no tricks." she says

She unlocks the cuffs. I step foreward. I had formulated a plan. I had a huge piece (at least a foot or so big) of glass

that I found. If I hit her in the right place..

"Alright , the form?"

She hands it out to me. I pull out the piece if glass and stab it into her stomach.

"Aaaaahhg!"

"I'm not gonna let you hurt me anymore!"

she collapses. I sigh and stand up straight.

I gotta find an ambulance for Taylor, but what about those guys..

I sneak around, going through cabinets upon cabinets, until I find what I need. A small pistol with 6 bullets. I never learned how to shoot but I've heard its not terribly hard. Just aim and fire. I take a deep breath and exit the room. I keep low to the ground and be silent. I see one of them, down the hall.

If I take him out, how many shots will it take? What if I miss? its not exactly 'quiet'. If I don't, he might kill Taylor...

I aim my gun at his stomach. I pray that i wont miss. I pull the trigger. He goes down.

Yes! Perfect shot. That other guy will be looking soon though. I need to get him.

Somebody takes my shoulder, I turn around to see the other guard. I aim and shoot him in the stomach. he collapses.

Good, now to find a way out.

After wandering for about 20 minutes, I find an exit. I run to a nearby house to call for an ambulance. It seems like an eternity before they show up. They load Taylor and I into the truck and start off towards the hospital.

Don't worry Taylor, you'll be alright. I promise....
