It was like time had stopped... This could not be happening... Will had his arm wrapped around my waist holding me back against him. My dress was riding up a little. I could feel the metal chain he had hooked on his belt pressing against my leg. It was cold and hard... like his eyes. He had his arm outstretched around me pointing the gun at Gerard. I screamed. The cashier girl heard me scream and looked up and saw him holding a gun and she screamed too as she went cowering to the floor...

"All right everybody get down!" Will yells out shaking his head in frustration a little. He was freaking out...You could tell he wasn't really sure what to do now... "Get down!" he repeats waving the gun around. It was really kinda pointless cause everyone was down except for us...Besides the cashier and Brian, there was only 2 other people in the store- a middle-aged couple. They were cowering next to the cashier, fuck, they looked like tourists too...

Gerard was frozen mid-step. "Whoa take it easy Will." He says raising his hands up slowly as he cautiously stepped towards us.

Will was pointing the gun right at him still. He kind of twisted his arm and cocked his head to the side a little and smirked like he was daring Gerard to come closer...

Gerard inched forward a little.

"Don't!" I screamed...Gerard hesitated. Will released his grip on me slightly and I pulled away stepping forward in between the gun and Gerard.

"Elle no!" Gerard yelled at me and I ignored him and took another step backwards towards him, pressing my back up against him blocking him with my body.

"Will please...don't hurt him." I begged and Will frowned and took a step back from me lowering the gun slightly.

"You'd give your life for him?" He asks snidely.

"Yeah I would, with out a doubt" I tell him and I meant it... Will frowned at me as tears started filling my eyes.

"Elle don't-"Gerard said softly grabbing my waist a little as I wiped my eyes.
"You shut the fuck up and don't move." Will barks at him. It startled me. I jumped back against Gerard and grabbed his arm tighter around me. Will frowned. He rubbed the side of his head a little...he was kinda freaking out... You could tell he didn't plan on things going this far... "I just gotta think..." He mumbled to himself as he paced a little. "Aaargh...you-." He yells waving the gun at Brian. "Lock the fucking door." He nods towards it.

Brian gets up and goes over and twists the lock shut. Will knocks down the candy rack blockading it a little. The crashing sound startled me and I pressed myself against Gerard tighter. Will looked around. The cashier and the middle aged couple were cowering by the counter. Brian was a few feet away from them. Gerard had his arms around me, we were kinda by the freezer wall. Gerard rubbed my back a little reassuringly.

"Its gonna be all right baby." He whispered to me and I nodded a little as Will looked over at us...

"I said to shut the fuck up" He yells at Gerard. "And don't fucking touch her either." He says waving the gun a little at us. "Take your hands off her." He tells Gerard so Gerard does..."Put them, er, put 'em on your head." He yells getting a little frustrated. So Gerard does. "Everyone. Put your fucking hands on your head and sit against the wall!" Will yells out pointing towards the freezer wall, where Gerard and I were already standing. Gerard leant back against the freezer doors with his hands on his head, everyone came over and did the same.

So I put my hands on my head and go to sit next to him and Will smiles at me a little.

"Not you." He says. He was looking right at me yet I wasn't sure.

"Who me?" I ask. He nods.

"I don't have to sit?" I ask and he shakes his head no. So I just stood there with my hands on my head a little confused.

"Take your hands off your head Elle." He says sounding a little amused.

"I don't have to--?" I ask still a little confused.

"No Elle" Will repeats and I slowly lower my hands down.

"Well what should I do with them then?" I ask and I hear Gerard sigh. I look over and he's shaking his head a little at me, he mouths me to 'shut up' and I frown. I look back over at Will waiting for instructions.

"I don't know, put 'em in your pockets" Will suggests. He was looking out the window nervously now...

"I don't have pockets I'm wearing a dress." I reply and I hear Gerard cursing under his breath. I look back over at him. He's giving me this look like 'please don't argue with the mad man...'

"What?" I say a little annoyed...Yeah don't piss off the mad man...I get it...So where do I put my hands that wont piss him off? ...I don't know...that's why I was asking..."I was just asking." I say and Gerard doesn't say anything. Probably cause Will warned him twice already not to talk...

"Elle, just- quiet." Brian says scolding me a little.

"I didn't say anything." I protest. And who asked Brian to get involved anyway?

"All right everybody just shut up." Will snaps. "I gotta think." He says and he starts pacing again...

"Can I sit my feet hurt." I say and Will nods a little. He was looking out the window again...I went and sat next to Gerard.

Will looked over at us. His eyes flashed in anger a little.

"This is your fault." He hisses coming towards Gerard. I grab Gerard's hand and clench it in mine tightly. "I just wanted to fucking talk to her for two minutes but you just cant leave her alone." He yells grabbing my arm and pulling me up off the floor away from Gerard.

"Will please." I cry out as he points the gun at Gerard again. Will looks over at me, he hesitates once again...

"If you want to go- we’ll go okay" I say my voice noticeably shaking. Will lowered the gun down slightly.

"Yeah." He says sighing a little as he lets my arm go. I glanced back over at Gerard. He had his eyes fixated on Will... Every movement he made..

“Im just not ready.” I try to explain and Will laughed that crazy laugh. “Its just you …you caught me off guard. I mean I'm not ready to leave, at least not yet... That's all." I say trying to keep my voice sounding believable... I think he was buying it too...

He spun me around facing him and looked into my eyes. I stared at him blankly. It wasn't hard. I'm good at looking dumb...

"You're gonna come with me." He says apprehensively, running the gun down the front of my dress pressing it into my stomach now. I nod. He frowns a little "You're not just saying that cause uh." He says pressing the gun harder against my stomach. He was giving me a hard look too now.

"No, I wouldn't do that..." I say softly looking down at the gun. "I do want to come...that is, only if you still want me to." I add looking back up giving him my most desperate look. I pouted out my lip a little and raised my eyebrow and cocked my head a little to the side. His face softened. "To tell the truth Will, I didn't think you'd want me anymore after everything that happened with Paul." I say lowering my head a little sniffling a little.
"Aw no angel, I told you that was my fault, that was all my fault." He says stroking my cheek a little, lifting my face back up to his. Yup it was working...I totally turned this around. "You said you forgive me." He says apologetically and I nod.

He leans over and kisses my mouth biting my lip lightly as he pulled away. Just like he did last night...Fuck.. I forgot he use to do that... for a catholic boy he was real kinky...I can't believe I didn't remember that sooner... He was still clenching the gun in his hand. He kinda had it digging into my side. I don't think it was intentional though. He just kinda had me turned loosely in his arms as he kissed me so he could keep an eye on Gerard and the others. Even as he ran his tongue along my lips and so deep into my mouth that I thought I was gonna choke, he didn't take his eyes from them. And even though I couldn't see him, I knew Gerard was staring just as hard back...

"Ow." I said wiggling a little. "Could you please not keep pointing this at me." I say trying to take the gun from his hand. He frowned...Okay too soon... umm. Lets turn this back around. "Mmm so you think we could make it to New Mexico on half a tank of gas?" I ask Will playfully dragging my finger down his chest.

"What?" he laughs.

"Well I only have half a tank of gas." I say glancing outside at my truck. Fuck where are the cops? I bet no one even called them...

"Uhh. I guess we could stop for gas." Will says looking outside too.

"Mmm you got any money?" I say going back behind the counter.

"Huh?" Will says looking over at me as I banged on the register buttons. "What the hell you doing?" Will asks.

"Aw come on Will... the number of felonies you've committed waving that gun around..." I say as the drawer opens. "Does one more really matter?" I say taking two twenties from the drawer and holding them up. "Mmm gas money!" I declare and slam the drawer back shut.

"Elle if you're gonna fucking rob the place, you gotta take everything." Will says shaking his head a little.

"But why? I only need 40 bucks." I say pretending to be dumb.

"Cause that's just what you do." He tells me and I pout.

"I'm no good at this. I say sniffling a little.

"Aw angel." Will says stepping towards the counter slightly.

"No it's true I'm no good at this, I can't...I don't know how to do this. How we gonna get across the country if I can't even rob a place right." I say pretending to cry. "And you even wont let me hold the gun." I add.

"Baby. I'll take care of the gun." He says reassuringly... fuck...strike two..."And I don’t even know why youre worried about money, you got so fucking much of it." He chuckled and my mind raced along as I scanned the racks.

Fuck... okay Elle. Focus here... You gotta think- and think fast- otherwise in about two minutes its gonna be you, Will and a bag a cheetos heading to New Mexico... fuck...

I looked over at Gerard. Will saw me.

"You looking at him?" Will snaps a little. I couldn't lie. He saw me.

"Yeah." I say softly and Will tenses up. He grabs my arm roughly.

"You care what happens to him?" He hisses in my ear.

"Yeah...no..." I say wincing a little under his grip. He was squeezing me harder now. "I mean I did care for him, I can't just stop caring of all of a sudden. But its not like that.. I was only with him cause I thought you wouldn't have me." I say and he loosened up his grip a little.

"You mean that?" He says and I nod.

"Yeah of course." I say and he stares at me a moment. "Last night Will.. I knew it was you... as soon as I felt your lips on mine I knew it was you." I say and his face softened a little. "It just felt so right.." I say lying through my teeth... He didn't notice... He was only hearing what he wanted to hear. Ignoring the fact that I was practically trembling in fear..."I was just using him to drive me up to the cemetery and then I was gonna break up with him on the way back." I say and Will looked at me like he wasn't sure if he believed that. "Its true things haven't been going well, that's why I made him sleep on the couch last night." I say and Will stepped towards Gerard again.

"You said you'd give your life for him." He says pointing the gun at Gerard.

"That's was before." I say desperately. Fuck... Will looked like he was on edge...

"Before?" He questions me.

"Before I knew you'd have me back." I say trying to sound sincere.

"And now." He says.

"Now I give myself to you." I say looking into his eyes. He pulled the gun back from Gerard and I sighed softly.

"Truly?" he says. Aw what the fuck Will? Didn't you hear me?

"Of course." I say nodding reassuringly.

He stared at me for what seemed like an eternity, trying to figure out how sincere I was...

"Okay then Elle. Take off your panties." He says pointing the gun at me a little.

"What?" I ask a little shocked.

"If you're truly giving yourself to me then-" He motions at me to do it.

"Will... not in front of all these people." I say pretending to be embarrassed.

"All right everybody put your fucking heads on the ground...lie down." He starts yelling, waving the gun around. "Lie face down put your hand on your head..." He tells them and they do it... "Except you." He says to Gerard. "I want you to watch this." He taunts him.

I couldn't even look over at Gerard. I turned my back to him and slid my panties down and handed them over to Will. Will kinda pulled me over so I was standing right in front of Gerard, facing him and he was behind me. He lifted my skirt up slightly and pulled my legs apart and held the gun in his outstretched arm pointing it at Gerard. He started running his other hand slowly up along my thigh.

"You want me Elle." He whispers in my ear.

"yeah." I exhale a little. I was gonna do whatever it takes to convince him... I didn't care how far it had to go...as long as Gerard was safe...

"I want this to be the last thing he sees before I blow his brains out." He says laughing a little wickedly.

"Will you're not gonna kill him are you?" I say panicking a little.

"Well, sure what's one more felony?" He says laughing.

"Will." I say my voice trembling in fear.

"If you truly don't care for him... and you care only for me. What I'm about to do shouldn't bother you Elle...." He says as he cocks the gun...

And its at this point I realize I may have gone too far...

I started choking. Coughing. Gasping for air. I don’t know if I was having a panic attack or what. I dropped down to my knees, clutching my purse to my stomach. It was enough to get Will to lower the gun once more.


“You ok?” He asks me and honestly I was. Once the gun was no longer pointed at Gerard I was fine but I pretended to carry on coughing.

“water” I said hoarsely and while Will was reaching to get one from the shelf I was reaching into my purse.

I pulled out the strip of ruffies Paul had given me, or I stole from him, whichever. I know Gerard saw me. And it was like he was telling me with his eyes not to do it but I had no other choice. I took a sip from the bottle Will gave me before and managed to drop 2 in to it before holding it back to him.

“arent you going to have some?” I asked and Will just looked at me for a second. “Well?” I repeated and Will just stared at the water in the bottle in my outstretched hand. I found myself praying that the pills dissolve as quickly as I remembered they did….

They must’ve cause Will seemed to snap out of whatever trance he was in and took the bottle from me. Downing most of it once… Gerard seemed to wince and it was then that I realized maybe drugging a mad man with a gun wasn’t the best idea I ever had….
