TESSA
“Damien!” I screamed. “Get down.”
The man’s head jerked towards me and he narrowed his eyes. He aimed the gun at me and the shot cracked through the air like glass shattering.
I froze but Damien pushed me down, the bullet missing me by just a few inches as it hit the metal stall behind us.
I wasn’t shot, but the world still spun like I had been cracked open.
The asphalt bit into my cheek, and a bright, sharp ache burned through my arm every time I tried to breathe. s**t.
I had no idea what was happening but I realized that the men had left because Damien got up and I blinked as he crouched in front of me.
His eyes were blazing like he wasn’t sure if he should scold me or check if I was still alive.
“Tessa, what the hell were you thinking!? Are you out of your damn mind!?
