April POV
"April, what did you do? ", Amy sobs. Karl wasn't moving let alone breathing, isn't that what she wanted. What I wanted. Leo and James suddenly let out a horrid screech. When Amy finally stopped crying, her head shot up at me. I felt my body shiver.
" April, why? What did you do??".
" What you always wanted", I say still dazed at Karls body. Leo and James just hug April and sob along with her. They release their guns, instead of emptying the bullets into my body.
Something told me to run, I dont know why but I just do.
I make a break for the door but suddenly, Hunter grabs my ankle. Looking back into his eyes, I saw hurt and disappointment.
Stepping on his wrist, he let's go, wincing in pain. Amy just held her father's body, crying not even saying words, just uttering letters.
"Love you most... ", I finally choke up leaving all behind.
Hunter POV
5 minutes, after April left, Karl suddenly jerked his body, following a cough.
" Guys.. Guys! His okay, he's alive ", April said excitedly. The bullet wound actually was on the left side, parallel his arm pit. Leo hugged him from his head.
" Thought we lost you there for a second stupid", he gently sat him up against the wall.
Angel and Emily quickly hobbled into the room.
"So what are we gonna do now?", I ask.
Everyone looked at each other and seemed to just embrace the fact to be ALIVE.
"Oranges anyone? "Leo says jokingly.
" We're going to Florida ", Karl laughs, as we all stood up to get to the car.
As we walked out, the sun started to rise against the nearby Lake.
" Beautiful ", Amy whispered.
" But not as much as you ", I say a smiling at her. She tangles her fingers with mine, but Karl suddenly got in-between us.
" Not as long as she is my daughter", he says jokingly but in a serious tone.
The car was silent, until Leo put on the radio. Summer By Calvin Harris played. He seemed to dance along to it. Angel began to doze off in Emilys lap.
Karl looked out of the window, whilst in the passenger seat enjoying the side lining of woods and trees.
Leo layed his head against Amys shoulder and began to snore. She laughed, but not loud enough to wake him up. After all of these turn of events she could still manage to laugh. That's the one thing I love about her.
We left that place and all of memory of events that occurred those two days. But what we forgot the most about still lurks,
Waiting
Looking
For Us
April.
