~SHY POV~
I jumped out of the car at the sight of Theo pointing a gun to Enzo. Once my eyes saw how injured Enzo was, my heart tore into shreds.
"Shy?!" Theo asked. I stepped in front of him, in front of the gun he held.
"You aren't going to kill him Theo."
"I am. Get back to the fucking car!" He snarled.
"No!" I spat. He grabbed my arm and dragged me to his car. Once he threw my wrist away, he glared at me with deadly eyes.
"You should have known what would happen if you got yourself involved with him!"
"If he dies Theo I will kill you!!" I said with rage and hidden desperation. My eyes started watering, but I had nothing in me to fight the tears back.
Enzo was dying. He was bleeding everywhere, and though I couldn't see him clearly from where I stood, all I could think about was how much pain he was in because of me.
Theo's eyebrows furrowed in a calculating way seeing my face. "Goddamn it." He muttered, but I looked away to hide my tears.
He grabbed my face and made me look at him. His eyes were searching for something deep within mine, but I didn't know what.
"Do you love him?" He asked with anger still in his voice.
All I could do was look at him, and when he took my silence for an answer, his face eerily relaxed in realisation.
He threw his gun on the ground, a pained look on his face as he tried holding back what he wanted to do.
My eyes widened on him him with shock. He actually listened to me. I'd remain still with surprise for even longer but I didn't waste any time and hurried back to where Enzo lay.
A car zoomed up to the scene, before a man got out - my father. He already had a look of fury on his face, and he pulled his gun out like he'd been ready to do so for a long time.
I looked at Enzo, and then at my father before it dawned on me. I jumped in front of where Enzo lay, the sound of the gunshot cutting through the air as the bullet pierced through me.
I groaned in pain, my eyes squeezing closed before my body gave in.
It all happened so fast, I didn't even know what had happened until I hit the ground next to Enzo.
"No." Enzo weakly breathed, his body shaking trying to get up.
"SHY!!???" Theo yelled in shock of what my father had just done. I heard another gunshot, but I was too busy focusing on Enzo to care.
He was in a terrible condition, his face and body bleeding from cuts. Blood running out of the bullet wound in his shoulder.
His eyelids were heavy, and getting heavier by the second. Using my arms I dragged myself towards him, screaming in agonising pain.
I pressed two fingers on his neck, checking for a pulse with all the hope in the world. It was barely there.
I cupped his face in my hands, looking into his eyes to see if there was still life in them. But there was only a drop.
And just the sight made my world come crashing down around me. I caused this, just because I couldn't admit that I love this man.
And I do love him, it might have taken me a long time to admit it but I love Enzo.
"Enzo." I breathed shakily, pushing away the pain if the bullet inside me. The pad of my thumb caressed his cold cheek. "Enzo I love you."
My words made his eyes look deep into mine, as weak as they were they still bloomed with warmth. And suddenly, they rolled back, closing completely.
I stared at him with shock, dread. The sharp tears in my eyes flowed out in a heavy stream. I shook his face desperately. "Enzo?!"
My voice echoed around me, bouncing back and wrenching my heart. "ENZO!!??"
When he didn't react, and he wasn't breathing I turned back to Theo who was just watching. "He's not breathing!! Do something Theo please!!"
My sobs filled the silence as Theo sighed and came up to me. He pressed his hands on Enzo's chest, pushing and starting chest compressions.
"Please Theo." I muttered, my face wet with salty tears. I watched Enzo with complete desperation, he couldn't die on me. He couldn't.
As a loud sob left my mouth, a zap of pain pierced through me even more. My hand reached down to my stomach. Blood was flowing out of my wound, and had covered my hand.
As I looked at it, my head grew extremely lightheaded. I couldn't, I had to stay awake for Enzo.
For Enzo, I repeated. But my body quickly gave in, and death carried me into a dark abyss.

~ENZO POV~
The first thing I could hear was the beeping of a monitor. My entire body felt like I'd been run over by a goddamn truck.
When I opened my eyes, I could see a figure standing in front of the window.
"Fucking fix this and today Roberto." A familiar voice snarled. Emiliano.
He turned to face me, and slipped his phone in his pocket.
"A fucking hospital?" I asked, my voice raspy and sore.
"Don't speak. You just got out of surgery a few hours ago."
"What the fuck happened?" I spoke again making him roll his eyes.
"For gods sake Enzo do you ever listen to anyone?"
"No."
His lips pressed into a thin line, and he sat onto the chair next to my bed. "You broke your ribs from the car crash 3 days ago."
Of course I've been out for 3 fucking days. The last thing I remember was Solace's son holding a gun to me, and then...
I sat up, my body paining from the movement but I didn't give a damn. "Shy. She got shot."
Emiliano pushed me back to lay down again. "The bitch survived. You aren't going to see her."
"Get out of my fucking way before I put a bullet in your skull!" I spat.
"Goddamn it Enzo the woman almost got you fucking killed."
"I don't give a fuck Emiliano. She took a bullet for me."
I tried sitting up again and he pushed me down. "She doesn't give a damn about you."
I would have fought back, and said she did. But even I wasn't sure of it.

~SHY POV~
My eyes opened slowly as a bright light blinded me. I was shivering cold, wondering where the hell I was.
"Don't move." Theo said.
I rubbed my eyes, noticing the IV in my hand. "I thought I died."
"You got shot. Got surgery to remove the bullet. If you let it heal, you'll be okay."
My eyes suddenly widened as Enzo came into mind. "Enzo, he was dying-"
"Unfortunately he lived." Theo said in a less than pleased tone. I pulled the blankets away from me and tried to swing my legs over the bed.
Theo jumped up from his seat and tried stopping me. "Your fucking wound will tear."
"I don't care I need to see him." I breathed and grabbed onto the stand holding my drip. The wound in my abdomen hurt terribly, it felt like it really was going to tear open.
"Fuck." Theo muttered and rushed to my side.
"Move." I said to him and took a step forward. The pain made me gasp, and I fell forward before Theo caught me.
"Why don't you ever listen to my fucking orders?" He spat. I ignored him and took another step forward, holding tightly onto the stand.
I went towards the door and out into the hallway, Theo held my arm the entire time in case I fell. He took me to Enzo's room, but a dark haired man walked out.
He looked extremely similar to Enzo, so I was guessing it was his brother. He didn't look too happy seeing us in front of him.
"He doesn't want to see you." He snarled.
"I don't care." I snapped back in the same tone. He took a step towards me before Theo placed his hand on his chest.
They exchanged dangerous glares, like they were going to break out into a fight any second now. Enzo's brother clenched his jaw, and stepped away.
