Cry

Beth's eyes stay on Justin as she watches him, listens in this moment she was scared out of her mind but something about his voice it seemed soothing. As Justin moves around the room a little bit Beth can feel the barrel of the gun press against her head a little harder and she tenses. No...this was not how she wanted to go out, not like her parents, not to be shot in cold blood, she couldn't she couldn't leave her sister when everyone else had, and Justin how could she leave him now when they had just started there adventure together.

Whimpering Beth can't help the tears that rolled down her cheek as she closed her eyes. She didn't want to see anything else, she didn't want to think about anything else she just wanted this moment to be over. This was a nightmare, something she hadn't expected. Was it because she had let her guard down? Could this have been avoided?

Still holding the woman the robbers eyes followed Justin there piercing gaze following every movement just waiting for him to try something stupid. Why he was doing this, why this other man was risking his life for a girl could only mean they must be connected. But the robber couldn't be all to weary.

As the money is held out to him the robber just looks at it before looking to Justin and than looking to the money again. Giving Beth a strong push forward the robber grabs the money before turning to leave about as quick as he came.

Being pushed forward Beth didn't have time to react as she falls into the counter and hits her head against the side. Feeling the extremely sharp pain she lets out a wail before bringing her legs to her chest and just holding them. Tears steaming out of her eyes...pain from her head, pain from what happens, and pain from memories she did not want to think about.

If other tried to help her it went unnoticed by Beth...the only person she wanted was Justin, and to go home to the safety of her house. The warm wet feeling of blood that dripped down the side of her face was the least of her worrys. She didn't want to be here, she didn't want to be alone, Justin...where was Justin.

   "Justin...."

Beth cried out as she trembled. Her eyes were squeezed shut tight as she just tried to black everything out. This was not his fault, she would not take it out on him she just wanted his comfort now, she wanted to know someone was close, and that he cared!
