I'm Still Alive

Victoria POV

I felt a sharp pain on the left side of my belly. I tried to control my fall so I wouldn't attract them.

"That was a warning shot." I heard the stranger say.

I was unable to keep myself from falling because the pain was too intense. I managed to hold on to my phone as I fell to the floor. Then came two other shots and I knew that Tom was gone. I placed the phone securely between my thighs just in case I was searched.

They couldn't have known that I was there. Unfortunately, that warning shot pierced the door and entered my body. I was discovered when my body thumped down to the bathroom floor. The door flew open and someone quickly approached me but I didn't want to move. I laid there motionless holding my stomach in an effort to stop the bleeding. I felt Matthew close to me.
