Eyes wide with relief, I continue to stare at my friend, tears falling down my cheeks in abundance. My gaze landed in her chest, the bullets were still there but she wasn't fatally wounded like what I initially thought.
Her only alarming injury was the bullet wound in her right shoulder which was still bleeding. The bulletproof vest she's wearing underneath her oversized shirt saved her from a life threatening injury.
Hot stream of tears flowed even more from my eyes while she looked at me. "It's alright Phoenix," Catherine Grace whispered with reassurance as she slowly made her way towards me.
I blinked several times as I tried to stop the tears but it won't stop flowing. Hearing her speak to me again made me feel better and lighter. A heavy burden was lifted off my chest.
She's fine…. I almost couldn't believe it.
I thought I'd lost a best friend.
