Noah’s physique lay nonetheless in my arms, his beaten-up face remaining expressionless.

“Noah? Noah!” I referred to as, giving his shoulder a shake.

That’s once I felt a heat stickiness on my fingers. Convey my hand away, I discovered it was coated with blood.

Did he get shot?The thought ricocheted in my thoughts.

“Are you okay, Azalea?” Nick kneeled earlier than me, observing me carefully.

“I’m effective,” I stated as panic flared deep inside me. “However Noah…”

The sound of approaching footsteps despatched me right into a frenzy. Was Luke again along with his males?

“Milla?”

“Noah?”

Two acquainted voices shouted our names.

“Right here!” I attempted to talk however may barely make any sound come out of my choked throat. “We’re right here however Noah’s…”

I regarded down at Noah, feeling his blood soaking into my skirt.

“What occurred?” Caleb and Corey have been beside us now.

“The outdated fucker shot your brother,” Nick stated in a grim tone. “He must be taken to an emergency ward instantly.”

All of us regarded over to the spot the place Invoice lay on the ground.

“Did you shoot him?” Corey requested.

“Yeah,” stated Nick. “My hesitation gave him the prospect to shoot at Noah. Ought to’ve taken him out the second I noticed him pointing his gun at them.”

Straightening up, Nick took out his telephone and walked away from the scene. He was the one calm particular person in our group and for that, I used to be deeply grateful.

My thoughts was in full chaos. It was nonetheless arduous for me to simply accept Noah was dying in my arms proper now.
