Owen's point of view
When I heard the two gunshots then nothing, silence... I froze, it was like time stood still.
As I turn my head I see her drop, and it's was quick, I felt panic rise through my chest, as I see mona run to her and scream, Amanda..
I needed to move, I want to run to her, but my body wouldn't let me move, not to mention my legs wouldn't work, all I could do was watch the commotion in front of me.
So much had happened In less than 48 hours, my body had endured so many emotions and feelings, and not to mention the truth of many things I did not know till now.
I hear the lads talking, then her say get them to the safehouse now.
No I'm not leaving you, I'll give them the address, mona says to her, as I am stood in the door way watching the scene unfold, I see tears streaming down her face
Mona, as your eldest sister, I command you, no... I order you as your..... she takes a deep breath, as your boss, get them to the safehouse now, call mark to come here.
What does she mean as your boss? I have so many questions, that I need to ask her.
No.... Please don't make me leave you, I beg you please. Mona kneels in front of her crying, her hands on her chest to try and stop the bleeding.
If you love me, you will obey me, Amanda tells her as say struggling to breath.
Fine, fine. She kisses her on her forehead, I move forward grabbing her shaking hand, she turns to look at mona.
Everything will be okay mona, I promise, trust the lads. Okay? Amanda tells her trying to keep her calm.
As i turn her head towards me, I'm staying, I says sternly, don't say no, i left you once, there is no way I'm leaving you again, i grab my hand tighter determined to not let go.
Mona screams... no, at me. Crying
Mona, ring mark, tell him to come here, he can take Owen with him, now go, we don't have long, i want you all safe.
I can patch myself up, Amanda says to mona, trying to reassure her, i can feel her shaking more, with the amount blood loss, she's starting to go cold, she won't survive iv she doesn't move soon from here.
I look at Derick he looks at me, reads my lips, get her out now, she's losing too much blood.
Derick, Amanda says calmly and strongly, get her to a car, she knows where to go to, we will be not far behind you. Mona, phone app cctv. She looks directly at Mona to see if she understands, Mona quickly nods.
Yes, yes on it... Derick says looking at Amanda, before turning. Come now Mona, let's go. You need to Phone mark..
He tells her dragging her out of the room, while the boys grab the bags, she shouts leave mine and the bottle of whiskey, Colin take the laptops.
Owen....Owen, she say
Yeah my darling, I say, looking at her, my heart is now pounding, while i am trying to concentrate.
I need you, to help me in to the living room and grab the 1st aid kit, and the bottle of whiskey. I nod, and help her through the door to the couch.
I grab what she asks for, i watch her as she removes her top, dam that bastard actually shot her. I hear her say Fuck as it passes over the bullet wound, it does not sound good.
I hear a mobile ring, she lean forward carefully to grab the bag it's in, jeez... she says pressing her top again the bullet wound.
As I re enters the room, and sees her answer it, she place her finger to my lips. As she puts it on loud speaker
Hello...
Hi A, good to hear your voice.
What do you want j? I Thought we were friends, and friends don't do, what you just did.
I'm on orders, A. he says as he sighs
(Who's orders? She's not Happy)
I see that, I didn't think you would take orders to take me out though, after all it was me that saved you, not him. I made us a family.
( she saved a lot of people another question to add to the list)
It's nothing personal.
Really because it kinda feels personal, come on j, don't do this.
212, he says before hanging up.
What did he mean?, I ask her.
(She shakes her head as to say can't say, before rubbing her ear, take then placing her finger back to her lip, I don't know, she say her eyes widening, taking a large gulp, i think she has realised something by this 212 code.)
She grabs take the bottle of whiskey, and grab needle threading the cotton in it placing them on her leg, before continuing she takes a large swig of whiskey.
What are you doing, I ask she hold up a finger, do me a favor stick them (she hands me the sim cards, points to the blender) i do as she asks and switches it on, I watch her use the whiskey and pour it over the wound, trying not to scream, arghh.... mother fucker, next she take the needle and cotton and stitch up the wound.
Fuck babe... i says coming back to her, I feel my eyes widen from shock
Sorry babe, i tried getting you to do something else, so you didn't watch, she say as she finishes, she give me a quick kiss leaving me wanting more, but she heads towards the sink to wash her hands, and sparks a cigarette.
I move my head following her as she dashes round the room moving things into a pile, before grabbing a clean top to wear.
Her own phone goes this time, relax babe she says, grabbing my hand tight before answering the phone.
yeah... She says then hangs up.. I watch her quickly grab a bin placing everything in it that was in a pile, along with the phones.
She places it on the balcony pour half the bottle of whiskey on it, before taking a match to burn everything
She turnd to me re entering the room, Time to go babe..
We exit and grab everything we need, she checks every room making sure we leave nothing not a finger print, grabbing a hoody she places itnon, I take her hand in mine, and wraps my fingers round hers tightly, entering into the elevator i take her bag so it doesn't catch her bullet wound.
I see her press something on her phone, before she turns to me and say, babe, you have a choice, you can stay with your brother, the lads and Mona, or you can come with me.
I say, babe I.. I'm not leaving you again, I told you that before on the terrace, and I ment it, this time, I will follow you.
She leans toward me and kisses deeply, taking away my breath, as my heart starts to beat so much faster.
I know you have a lot of questions and I promise i will answer them all, just not here, she looks me in my eyes.
For the first time I my life, I finally understand what my mother ment, okay Darling, I say, as the elevator doors slide open at the car park.
