(Luna POV)
I jumped at the sound of the gunshots, then two bodies hit the ground almost simultaneously. Joe shouted my name from somewhere, I wasn't sure who had gotten shot. But a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach told me I wouldn't like to know who it was, I squeezed my eyes shut and felt hands on either side of my face.

"Baby, are you okay?! Look at me, open your eyes" I looked at a worried and slightly bruised Joe, he relaxed when I spoke to him

"I'm okay"

"The blood pouring out of your leg says otherwise" I look down and saw the lower half of my dress was drenched
"How are you still conscious" he mumbled gripping the edge of the table, I flinched as he lifted it off of me.

"What happened to you?" I croaked suddenly feeling very drowsy

"That Marcus kid can throw a punch" I looked around, he must've already been taken into custody. Joe basically tossed the table to the side, my leg had a long bruise where the table was. The piece of fabric Lexi laid down was completely red

"Fuck fuck fuck" Joe mumble clumsily trying to apply more pressure to the would
"Okay, Luna. Don't even think about the wound, alright?" I opened my eyes and looked down

"Hoooly shit, well I wasn't thinking about it until now! Why'd you say anything?!" I exclaimed, still feeling drowsy

"Where the hell are the paramedics?!" He shouted over his shoulder

"Sir, they're coming as fast as they can. Please remain calm"

"My fiancé is bleeding out, and has been for about 10 mins. And you just asked me to remain calm-"

"Joe stop it" I took his hand
"Go check on Jon" Joe looked around

"What happened here" I shook my head, I swear I'm gonna pass out any minute now. Joe panicked at my lack of response

"Luna, okay. Keep your eyes open-"

"Leati! My son!" A voice I recognized as Patricia's drew closer and closer, through my slowly closing eyes I saw her engulf him in a hug. She then looked down at me
"Oh, sweetheart." She coo'ed lightly placing a hand on my face

"Your mother is already at the hospital, she went to see your father. I guess we'll see her there, huh?" She faintly laughed, I snuggled my face into her and and began to cry a little. My leg hurts, has to be the worst pain I've ever felt.

"Excuse me ma'am, we need to get her on a stretcher" she removed her hand and watched worriedly as I was loaded onto the stretcher

"Wait, she dropped this" Joe spoke up, I smiled weakly at him when I felt something cold on my ring finger.

"What happened. You were supposed to protect her with your life, she's your fiancé" Patricia faintly scolded him

"I did all I could, ma. I'm sorry" the darkness took over

"Thank you very much, have a nice day" an unfamiliar voice welcomed me back to consciousness

"No problem, you too" my eyes opened at I was staring at a woman in a denim pantsuit, she wore an obviously fake smile.

"Miss Drake, you're awake. How are you feeling "

"Why are you here?" I adjusted myself, wincing slightly in pain. She cleared her throat while pulling her purse closer to herself

"I just wanted to congratulate you on your engagement" I tilted my head

"I'm sorry, I must've missed the part where you answered my question" her smile tightened
