My Brothers Best Friend

35

*Piper*

"AAH FUCK!" shouted Adam, who grabbed his leg with his hand. Shocked, I turned around again. One of Patrick's men had shot at Adam. Luckily it was only in his leg, so I hoped he would be fine. Other shots were soon fired. I saw Adam's shooter drop to his knees and fall to the ground. I watched Jasper reload his gun with trembling hands. Jason looked painfully at my father. He was still grinning in his desk chair.

"Let it go, boy. We both know you can't do this." Jason began to whisper to himself.

"I can do it. I can do it." I heard him mumble. It hurt me to see Jason like this. He shouldn't become a murderer.

"Now stop dawdling." said my father. "I'd go home quickly if I were you. Lyla and Felicia are-" Jason pulled the triggers and fired at my father. I hid behind Jason's back and squeezed my eyes shut. "It was over." I thought to myself. There was no further shooting. Patrick's men were taken outside and then handed over to the police, who had secretly called Peyton. I tried to catch my breath slowly.

"We have to go!" Jason called to us.

"No, sir. I'm afraid that won't work. We have to interrogate you first." said one of the officers.

"My daughter and girlfriend are in danger!" he shouted. He ran to the car and drove away. I watched Adam being lifted onto a stretcher. Peyton stood next to him and held his hand. I quickly ran to him.

"Here!" he yelled at me. He dipped his hand into his trouser pocket and pulled out his car keys. "Shelf gas, Piper." I nodded sadly at him and ran with Luca, Jasper and Max to Adam's car.

"Adam!" I yelled as I turned myself one more time. "Make sure everything is okay." He nodded and gave his thumbs up. I ran to the guys already at the car and threw the keys to Luca. quickly we got in and with squeaky tires we raced off the terrain. On the way home.

When we drove into the neighborhood we already saw a few cars in front of our house. the front door was up and Jason just ran in. Luca stopped the car and we ran inside.

"Dylan, drop... the knife...." Suste Jason. I walked into the room and saw my ex standing with Lyla, who held Felicia tightly in her arms.

"Look who we have there." said Dylan. "My dear friend Piper and the huge bastard who stole her from me."

"Dylan, please leave us alone. It's over." I said calmly.

"It's not over until I say that, honey." He laughed psychopathically. He held the knife to Lyla's throat. She was in a complete panic and tears were streaming down her cheeks. Felicia started to scream loudly from all the turmoil. Cautiously, I took a few steps toward Dylan. I held up my hands in defense.

"Dylan." I whispered.

"Come... Don't come any closer... I'm really doing it! I'm doing it!" He moved the knife even closer to Lyla's throat.

"Dylan, I'm sorry." His facial expression softened. His grip on the knife slackened. "For everything. I'm sorry what happened to you, but Patrick is dead now. You can be free. Start your life again."

"He is dead?" he stammered. I nodded and gently took his hand. Lyla and Felicia walked cautiously over to Jason, who immediately wrapped his amen around them.

"But... But that's not possible! That's not allowed!" Dylan lost control again and began to move wildly. I tried to calm him down, but I couldn't.

"Piper! Come back!" cried Luca. I stood on tiptoe and tried to grab Dylan's hands again, but it was too late. Dylan was out of control and I felt a twinge in my side. I looked at my shirt, which slowly turned red. My eyes rolled back and I fell to the ground with a bang.

"Wake up." A voice whispered. "Wake up, Piper." I opened my eyes gently and closed them again. The light was too bright.

"Good, Piper. Try again." I listened to the calm voice and tried to open my eyes again. I blinked brightly and saw a white ceiling above me.

"How do you feel?" Said the voice.

"Pain." I cracked. My throat was completely dried out.

"True?" Carefully I brought my hand to my forehead.

"There." I whispered. Suddenly a figure hovered over my head, gently pressing a cunt on my forehead.

"Better?" I giggled sleepily and nodded. The bed was straightened so that I was in a sitting position.

"You need a drink, Piper." My head cleared and I looked back at the boy.

"Okay, Luca." He smiled at me and brought a glass to my lips. I drank the contents greedily and leaned back against my pillow.

"How's Adam?" I asked softly.

"It's going better." Luca reassured me. "He's almost walking again. I'm more worried about you now." I moved a little to allow Luca to lie down next to me. He threw the blanket over him and took me very carefully in my arms, as if I were fragile. I laid my head on his chest.

"I love you too." I whispered. He ran a hand through my hair and looked at me lovingly.

"I love you more." The minutes flew by and we did nothing but stare into each other's eyes.

"Remember what I said to you a few days ago?" I shook my head and looked at him expectantly.

"I was already afraid of that." he sighed. I ran my soft hand over his cheek.

"Then tell me."

"I said, If we get out of here alive,

then- " "-Let's get married." I finished. He nodded and kissed me on the nose. I giggled softly and pressed my lips to his.

"So... I'm alive, you're more alive than dead right now..."

"What are you saying, Luca?" I laughed. He threw off the blanket and got out of bed. He took a small box from his coat hanging from the chair and got down on one knee. He opened the box and inside was a beautiful ring.

"Piper Williams. I love you so very much. I really don't know what I would do without you. I am very proud to call you my girlfriend, but I would like to take it one step further. Piper, will you marry me?
