<<Part 1>> <<Part 2>> <<Part 3>><<Continuous Version>>
You had been floating in and out of consciousness for the last fifteen minutes. The adrenaline had run its course and all you had left was the pure agony that had associated itself with your wound. Youâd been staring at the floor, watching the blood pool around your feet, trying to hold on. Any attempt to free yourself at this point would only make you bleed out faster and you refused to allow Sonny to find your dead body.
Your eyes opened at the sound of footsteps at the door of your apartment. You felt your heart rate increase substantially and began fearing the worst. Hector would be on his way towards you to finish you off. You were taking to long to die and he needed to leave. You gathered the courage to look up only to see your front door opening and Hector hiding in the nook beside it. Â Things wouldâve clicked if you hadnât lost so much blood, but you still watched confused.
A gun poked itâs way through the door, opening it wide, and revealed the man youâd been waiting for this whole time. You wouldâve prayed out loud if it didnât take so much energy. You watched him scan the room before his eyes landed on you. Sonny's eyes wide, already showing a large array of emotions, but his defensive stance didnât falter. You felt a large sweep of relief overcome your body and a small twinge of hope that you might actually make it out of this.
You sat watching Sonny take another step into your apartment before you furiously shook your head, trying to signal that it wasnât safe for him to enter. Hector had your blood stained knife in his hands, waiting for the perfect moment to attack and it was soon. Sonny ignored your warning and took another step forward before Hector quietly walked behind him.
âSONNY, BEHIND YOU,â you screamed as you saw the man launch towards your boyfriend. âSONNY!â
Your call was Hectorâs queue to launch forward and begin slashing his knife every which way, trying to stab the man that had ruined his life. Sonny immediately turned towards his attacker and saw the knife in the air, charging towards him. Without a second thought, his training took center stage and he squeezed the trigger. The bullet entered Hector's shoulder and caused him to take a step back. He tripped over his own feet and fell backwards, and his head briefly made contact with the counter-top, effectively knocking him out cold.
Sonny walked up to the man that was now laying on the ground and nudged him to make sure he was out. When he was confident that Hector wouldnât be waking up anytime soon, he turned to you and rushed to your side. He placed his hands on either side of your face, lifting your head to look at him. You were pale, youâd lost a lot of blood, and time wasnât exactly in your favor. You saw Sonny, but it wasnât clear. Your vision had begin to blur at an alarming rate.
âIâm so sorry, babe, Iâm so sorry,â he stuttered as he used the knife to slice the tape. âI came as soon as I could, I shouldâve- Iâm so sorry.â
âItâs okay, youâre here now,â you whispered as you watched him remove the rest of the tape. His shaky hands were now covered in both yours and Hectorâs blood as he struggled to get a grip on the last piece.
âIâm gonna get you some help, Iâve got back-up on their way.â He removed the last piece of tape and returned to look at you. His hands lightly grazed your abdomen trying to assess the situation. You werenât going to last much longer, but he wasnât going to move you. In his mind heâd already made one mistake, not getting to you soon enough. He wasnât going to aid in your demise, it would be the death of both you. He whispered I love youâs as he waited to hear any sign of back-up making its way down the hallway.
Steps began behind him and he turned around quickly, âitâs about time, it took you guys-â An unexpected blow hit him and slammed him against the wall. Hector Beckett stood in front of you, no longer focused on you. This was going to end, now. He landed another blow to Sonnyâs cheek and threw him onto the floor.Your blurred boyfriend laid on the ground trying to push off the man blowing punches to any part of his body that could be reached. Each hit causing the air to expel out of his lungs against his control.
You sat in the chair, unsure of what to do. If you moved, youâd bleed out faster, but if you didnât, Hector could win. You took a few moments and looked around the room and listened in for the back-up, but there was no sound other than Sonny gasping for air. Your sight landed on the table, Sonnyâs gun sitting where he left it. You took a deep breath and gasped when you felt your muscles expand around your wound. You shook off the pain and stood up, reaching for the gun on the table.
You held the gun noticing how heavy it felt. Youâd never held a gun before, let alone shoot one. Hell, you couldnât even tell if the safety was off. But what you did know, was that neither you nor Sonny were going to die today. You wrapped both of your hands tightly around the base and allowed your forefinger to find the trigger.
âGet off of him,â your voice quivered.
âOr what? Youâre gonna shoot me?â
You knew you were weak and you didnât have time to waste. You squeezed the trigger, forcing your eyes open to watch Hector Beckett fall backwards yet again. He grasped his abdomen, before trying to stand up. You squeezed the trigger once more, this time stopping him in his tracks and collapsing to the floor.
You stayed cemented in place, feeling a numbness take over your body as Sonny rushed to your side.
âHey, hey, (Y/N), can you put the gun down for me? Doll, give me the gun.â He waited for you to look him in the eyes before nodding and removing your finger from the trigger and handing over the gun. He immediately unloaded the gun and placed it on the floor, before finding the wound on your stomach to apply pressure. âItâs okay, youâre going to be okay,â he repeated to you over and over to not only convince you but himself as well.
The team began to rush into your apartment after hearing the shots, immediately checking Hectorâs body for any signs of life. With a shake of the officers head, you felt the blood drain from your body. He was dead, you just took the life of a human being. The room began to fade as you reached towards Sonnyâs hands on your stomach and fell to your knees.
âSonny, I donât-â you coughed watching the blood pool around his hands. âI donât feel so good.â You watched as Sonnyâs figure above you began to fade more and more as the seconds passed.
âI need a medic in here now!â Sonny screamed to the officers that had herded into your apartment. âStay with me, donât close your eyes!â
You hadnât intended on giving up this easily, but with every blink you felt your eyelids grow heavier and heavier. Perhaps, this was your time to go. Youâd saved Sonny and thatâs all that mattered. The pain hadnât faded, but you werenât scared anymore. You felt the sense of calm rush over your body, similar to that of a much needed sleep, and looked at Sonny one last time before you allowed your eyes to close.
You were placed onto a stretcher and quickly brought out into the lobby and toward the ambulance that was waiting for this exact situation. Sonny hadnât been more than a step away the entire path towards the ambulance. Olivia watched on as you loaded into the ambulance.
âMaybe this is finally enough to lock him up,â Sonny spat as he stepped into the ambulance. Olivia didnât take it personally, knowing all too well that this was an emotional time for everyone.
The day Olivia had to inform the squad there wasnât sufficient evidence to put Hector Beckett was one of the hardest of her career. She held onto the necklace draped around her neck, thinking about the situation sheâd bee placed in. Perhaps God works in mysterious ways. Just because they couldnât put him behind bars, doesnât mean he didnât eventually get what was coming to him.
Sonny felt the same way, but heâd never say it out loud. He only sat silently in the corner of the ambulance, allowing his mind to slip to the thought that if somehow heâd been able to find one more piece of solid evidence, if heâd done his job right, he wouldnât be grasping your somewhat lifeless hand. His ears wouldnât be ringing due to the shrill sirens blasting their way through the streets and he wouldnât be looking down at your unconscious body through misty eyes praying that youâd make it out of this alive.
