Matthew's POV:
Sophie put her arms around me and whispered in my ear. "Don't worry, Mat. Everything is going to be alright."
Little did I know that she was distracting me. When I heard the noise of the gunshot, I didn't understand what was happening for a while. My hands were still wrapped around Sophie's torso.
Suddenly, I noticed that my hands were getting wet. Something scarlet was in my hands. It was blood. Then I gazed down at Sophie.
Blood was dripping down from her abdomen. She got shot! The bullet had hit her.
"Mat…." Sophie winced in pain and clutched my hand. " I love...."
Those were her last words. She didn't even have the strength to complete that sentence. Soon she fell unconscious in my arms.
