Consequences 12

It had been 3 weeks. I had seen their show for more than humanly possible, and nothing had happened.
Either Keith was caught, or he was still waiting.
�Come on guys! Hurry it up!� I called out.
�We�re coming!� Justin shouted.
�Yeah really. You�re not the ones who had to carry these bags!� Joey cried.
We were shopping in downtown. I had gotten them all to carry the bags, except for JC.
The guards were all around us, watching us with their trained eyes.
Keeping hold of JC�s hand, I looked around for another store.
That�s when I saw him.
His icy stare bore into my body, sending an icy cold feeling surging through my insides.
I clutched JC�s hand tighter, feeling my fear rise.
�What is it JJ?� he asked uncertainly.
�LONNIE!� I shouted.
When he looked at me, he immediately started toward me.
�Lonnie, you know who to look for, right?�
He nodded.
�He�s here,� I whispered fearfully.
He took out his walkie-talkie and alerted the other guards.
I gripped JC�s hand tightly.
I looked back at Keith�s direction. He was getting closer. His icy blue stare colder than ever, his eyes flared with a strong hatred.
�Come on JC. Let�s move,� I said in panic.
We moved into a crowd, hoping he wouldn�t be able to follow.
�Jessie, don�t worry. We�ll protect you,� Justin assured.
Heather�s eyes were glazed over in hate.
We kept moving into the crowd, but I stopped dead on my tracks.
�Didn�t think you�d get away, did you?� he growled.
�Please don�t hurt him,� I pleaded.
�Jessie, just get out of my way,� he warned, pulling out a metal object from his jacket.
�Oh my god, please Keith!� I begged.
JC�s hand was wrapped tightly around mine.
�Stop!� a deep voice commanded.
I looked to my right. It was Lonnie and the rest of the guards.
�Why should I?� he sneered.
�Because,� came a new voice.
I whipped my head around to my left.
The police officer held his gun in his hand, ready to fire.
Keith�s eyes narrowed. His eyes showed it all as his finger neared the trigger.
�NO!� I cried, jumping in front of JC, a split second before-
BANG!
�AH!� I cried, dropping to the ground.
I held my leg tightly with my hands.
�JESSIE!� they called out, dropping down to me.
I glanced at Keith. His eyes were blank and his face was pale. The gun was at his feet.
The pain seared through me.
I felt someone hold me in their arms.
�JJ�please�� came the voice.
The pain was overwhelming. My vision was going black and white.
I felt like I was reliving the day at the park. The edges of my vision were going black, slowly creeping towards the center. My hands felt wet with blood.
The pain was too powerful to stand.
�I love you JC�� I whispered.
