In Love, Never Say Never

That was a maniacal, terrifying smile.

My heart sank. I quickly tugged at Ashton’s jacket and whispered, “Something is wrong with the guy behind us.”

As soon as I said that, someone made an announcement through the PA system in the mall. “Brian Romero, you can’t run away this time. Now turn yourself in, and we promise we’ll give you a chance to start over.”

By the time we reached the first floor, a group of police had been waiting at the landing of the escalators.

The man in camo shouted back, “I don’t want to listen to your bulls*it. Even if I choose to die, no one can stop me.”

While he was speaking, Ashton’s arm wrapped around my waist and before I could react, he held me up with one hand and dashed forward.

When the guy saw us running away, he removed his jacket and revealed the explosives that were strapped to his body. “You thought clearing the mall would cause no casualty? Luckily, I have two fools to die with me. Hahaha!”

Then, he raised the remote in his hand and pushed the button.

Boom! The bomb exploded, and Ashton used his body to shield me from the explosion as the forceful impact send us flying several yards away.

There was a buzzing sound ringing in my ears and all my muscles stiffened. My mind went blank.
