ELIZABETH
“Congrats, Lizzy!”
“Thanks!”Elizabeth returned James’ high five, grinning
broadly. This bill had been a long time in the making. It had
had many vocal opponents, as she’d known it would, but thanks to her
efforts, as well as the efforts of her political allies, Elizabeth had finally
managed to push it through.
With the new law in place, doctors would no longer legally be allowed
to turn away LGBT+ patients for treatment.
Elizabeth wasn’t out in public, but she had made it her business to
promote LGBT+ rights in her career. Someday, she hoped to come out, but
that day was a long way off.
She knew that her being a lesbian would change everything. Many
people who respected her as a straight LGBT+ ally would think differently
of her if they knew who she really was. She couldn’t afford to lose the
momentum she had gained. There were too many vulnerable people relying
on her doing what she had promised when she was elected.
“Dinner at Amy’s Diner, my treat!” Her staff all cheered.
Their boisterous group made its way down the street, chatting about the
finer points of the bill that had finally been passed after months of waiting.
It wasn’t far to the diner, and it was a pleasant night for a walk.
Elizabeth didn’t even see the man coming. One moment, she was
laughing with Megan about the looks on the oppositions’ faces when their
bill went through, and the next, she was staring down the barrel of a gun.
Everything happened so fast that she didn’t have time to react.
James
shouted her name and leaped in front of her just as the gun went off. James’
body jerked violently as he was pushed back by the force of the bullet.
He collided with Elizabeth and the two of them hit the ground. She was
vaguely aware of her staff surrounding her and caught a brief glimpse of her
attacker sprinting away, but most of her attention was on James.
More specifically, his blood, which was swiftly covering both her and
the sidewalk beneath them.
Elizabeth’s hands were shaking so badly that she could barely hold her
phone, but she somehow managed to dial 911.
She didn’t remember the conversation. She must have given the
operator their location, because she soon heard sirens in the distance, but
she didn’t look up. She had her hands pressed to James’ chest.
He was breathing, but his breath rattled alarmingly, and he was getting
paler by the second. The bullet had hit the left side of his chest. It was a
wonder he wasn’t dead already. Elizabeth had her doubts about him even
making it to the hospital alive.
