1305 Words
There, standing at the door was Olivia, fresh out of jail. She frowned seeing everyone there.
" I should have known it!" She was gripping a gun. She walked into the kitchen.
Stella slowly backed up and walked away from Olivia, holding her hands up.
Stella moved away from the kitchen, Olivia wanted her dead, not the others. She tried to draw all of Olivia's attention to herself.
Olivia aimed the gun at Stella.
Drake saw Stella moving away from him, then he saw the gun.
" No Stella, don't"...he said.
He knew Stella would let Olivia kill her to protect him and the others.
He called out to Stella.
" Stella no, stop!" He yelled to her. He couldn't let Olivia hurt her again. He wouldn't.
It was like slow motion. Everyone saw the gun. TJ knew this girl would kill Stella, he saw her almost do it once before.
He shook his head and dropped his plate, it shattered onto the floor tiles. Olivia turned to look at him.
Drake called her name, trying anything. "Olivia, you came back. Come to me, come here!" He said frantically.
"It's me you want, come to me dear." He coaxed her.
Olivia looked at Drake then back at Stella. She aimed at Stella and pulled the trigger.
TJ jumped in front of Stella, he fell to the floor. He was hit.
He blinked as the pain seared through him.
Kira ran to Olivia and jumped on her. The gun went off again.
This time Olivia fired into the floor.
Kira had moved the gun around as she struggled with Olivia.
Olivia turned and ran as the gun fell.
" You little bitch." was all she said to Kira.
Drake kicked the gun away.
Olivia began to run towards the woods.
Stella held TJ in her arms, she didn't know what to do.
Drake placed him into the car and Stella drove to the hospital.
She got help to carry his limp body inside.
Stella was fighting to breath, she was holding her chest, she couldn't catch her breath.
Drake called 911 then told Kira to wait there, he was going after Olivia.
" I have to go find her. Will you be okay here, I will come back as soon as I can, lock the doors?"
She nodded, numbly-she looked at the bloody floor.
The hospital...
Stella watched as they cut TJ's shirt off and put pressure on his gun shot wound.
Olivia shot him in the side.
TJ saved Stella's life by taking the bullet.
She couldn't believe he jumped in front of a bullet for her, he did it for her.
Drake tracked Olivia into the woods.
He called to her. " Olivia, come back!"
Drake knew Stella had been drawing Olivia away from them, she almost got shot for him.
Stella you were preparing to die for me. He thought to himself.
She was okay, he told himself, thanks to TJ.
" Olivia, please come back!" He yelled.
He wanted her to come back. She was too dangerous to have running around.
The hospital...
Stella cried. "Oh TJ, please be okay!" She waited for him.
Drake had told her he would come to her as soon as he could when she left.
Stella got a call from Cash.
" Kira called me all upset, she told me that TJ got shot. Are you okay?" He was very worried.
" Yes, I am fine, I...it was so horrible Cash. Oh. I'm sorry...how is your mommy?" She asked him.
He told her the sad news, she wouldn't recover from this.
Ash asked to speak to her next.
" Ash, I've missed you so much honey." She said.
" I'm going nuts over here, Olivia tried to kill you?" He asked anxiously.
"She did, she pulled the trigger, TJ jumped in the way."
" Thank God for TJ, I love that man. Tell me he will make it." He said.
" I hope so." She said sadly.
" Oh, Sam is here, I love you Stella. Here's Sam."
" Stella, I'm shaking in my boots, are you...we're you..hurt my love?" He was so very sweet.
" Sam, I'm fine TJ took that bullet for me, we were all so terrified." She said.
" Hold on, yeah sure" he said speaking to his brother...."
"Stella Storm is going to pass out if he doesn't talk to you. Bye my sweet girl, love you."
" I love you too Sam." she said.
The phone was quiet. "Are you...Storm you there?" She asked.
" Stella... I can't speak...give me a moment." He was crying.
" Stella, first mommy is ill, then you...almost die. I just got you back. I'm so upset. I can't speak, give me a minute."
She heard him crying. "Storm, I'm fine. I'm so sorry about your mommy. I know she loved you all so much. Everyone of you talks so highly of her."
" You don't know how much she wanted to meet the very special Stella.
She is the reason we can all love you, share you like we do.
My mother made sure all of us brothers were so close. She had a saying.
Do for your brother as you would do for yourself you are no better than your brother, never forget this Storm.
She nodded. "I never understood the bond you have with your brothers, I see it is a very special, very nurturing bond that your mother created in all of you.
Storm I want to...I need to see her, tell her I love her." She said.
" Then hurry my love, she's fading very fast." He said as he hung up.
Stella couldn't leave until the doctor told her if TJ was okay.
About an hour later, the doctor came and told Stella he was stable. He would need to stay for a while.
Stella went in to see him.
" Hey, TJ it's Stella. I was so worried about you." She held his hand.
He grinned at her. " I am still here, hanging in there."
She took his hands, "TJ you saved my life, you took that bullet for me. Why?" She frowned.
" Stella I know Olivia really hurt you before, I couldn't stop it before it happened then, this time I could so I did. Stella tell me, are you okay?" He tried to sit up, then lay back holding his wound.
" TJ the doctor said it went right through, it didn't hit anything vital. You will be just fine." She told him.
He told her to call Jim Akins next door, " he will take care of the horses and home, he owes me."
Stella nodded. " I'm flying to Florida, Mrs.Palmer, she's dying." She told him.
" No problem. Is Kira going too?" He asked.
" Actually I'm taking her with me and Drake, Drake doesn't know yet." She grinned.
He nodded. "That Cash, he needs to show Kira that he loves her, she needs him. He's so cold to her, I don't know why he even married her." he shook his head.
Stella was quiet. " He doesn't love her." she said.
" He loves you doesn't he?" He guessed.
Stella nodded. " I told him to marry her. I thought it would be different, I thought he had some affection for her." she said.
He shook his head. " I see it, he has no love for that poor girl. She so sweet. It just angers me, I could be a much better man to her." He admitted.
Stella nodded. " Maybe Kira should stay here with you then?" She asked, "take care of you. I think she could do it, she's stronger than anyone gives her credit."
He agreed.
" I hope the police caught Olivia." She said.
