The Last Day

Chapter 1

Beep… Beep… Beep…

I groaned as I turned off the stupid alarm. It was a Friday morning and I just wanted to sleep. I looked over on my other side and saw that Eli was still sound asleep, probably had stayed up late last night working on his new book.

Eli had become a director like he wanted but still had the craving to write books. He enjoyed writing and since we had kids now he only directed small films around are town so he didn't have to miss any of their growing up. I thought it was sweet and was proud the man I loved just loved our kids so much.

While Eli's dreams came true of being a director so did mine for becoming a journalist. I enjoyed my job and loved the fact that most the time I could do it from home. I had been working for the same company for nine years now. I started the same year our third child was born.

Eli and I had been married for seventeen years and had six kids together. We had always wanted a big family. We had decided five would be enough, but when we got pregnant for the sixth time we had two instead of one.

Right after we got married we decided to try for kids. About six months after being married we were finally pregnant. Two months into it I had a miscarriage. We wait a little bit to give my body time to cope and then tried again. This time we had the baby.

We had our first baby, fifteen year old Amber Raven Goldsworthy. She is in tenth grade and acts just like her father did at that age. She dresses like I did though. We were so thankful when we were able to have her and didn't have a miscarriage. It scared us that would happen again.

We decided to try and have another one right when she was two and a half. Nine month later came our first son Edison Alexander Goldsworthy. He is twelve and in seventh grade. He is very quiet and doesn't say anything unless spoken to like I did, yet he dresses like Eli. It's comical to see my older two dress like and one parent but act like the other. Edison looked just like Eli while Amber looked just like me.

After Edison came our other little boy. Nine year old Jason Michael Goldsworthy, who was now in fourth grade. He had a good mix of both of us. He never acted like one on one day and then the next the other. Every day he had traits of both of us in him.

We had thought that maybe three would be enough, but Amber informed us it wasn't fair that she was the only girl. She wanted a little sister. After hearing that we went ahead and decided to have those five kids we had always dreamed of. Three years after Jason was born we welcomed in our six year old little girl Evelyn Emmy Goldsworthy. The name Amber picked out for her since they shared the same birthday. The two were real close. They were nine years apart but were attached at the hip.

After seeing how close the two were we had thought about stopping but Eli decided he wanted one more kid and like all the others three years later we brought in our youngest. We ended up having twins who were now three years old. Addison Lynn and Nathan Keith Goldsworthy, who are both my babies. I give into them a lot more than I should.

I got up and out of bed getting dressed just as Eli woke up.

"Hey sexy lady come to Papa." He mumbled as he gave me a kiss. I wasn't really responding and he saw that. "Hey are you okay?"

"Yea I just have a weird feeling about today. I haven't had a feeling like this since we found out we were having twins."

"You aren't pregnant again are you? I mean we have the money for more, but I don't think I have the energy for it." I giggled, but then stopped.

"No its not one of those good feelings. It's a bad feeling." When I said this he got a horrified look on his face.

"Clare don't think like that. Maybe you are just worried about work or something." What Eli said had made sense so I went along with it.

"Yea I bet your right."

"I always am." He mumbled as he grabbed me and placed me on the bed under him and started kissing me. I started giggling.

"Eli you need to stop. I have to go wake up our four oldest kids so they can get ready for school." He groaned but pulled back.

"As much as I love our kids they sure do get in the way of our sexy time." I gave him the look. I knew he was joking but he shook his head. "Alright, you know I love those kids more than anything in the world." I smiled and nodded my head.

"I know and they love you just as much. Just like I love you and our kids more than anything in the world." Eli smiled and kissed me lightly on the lips.

"I love you too. Our kids are some special kids. That's for sure." I smiled at that and got up to get the kids ready.

~~~Degrassi~~~

After getting the kids up and ready we were off to school. Amber was in front since I let her out first. After that I had two more schools to go.

The way the schools worked was pretty awesome. I had only gone to Degrassi High School but my kids have gone to all of them.

Kindergarten-fourth grade was one school. It was called Degrassi Elementary, then it was the junior high which was grades fifth-eighth, and the high school being the usual ninth-twelfth. Preschools were a different story.

"Alright Amber here we are. Hope you have a good day and tell Devin I said hi. Is she still coming over tonight?" Devin was Alli and Dallas's oldest kid together. Dallas already had a son so he was excited to find out his first with Alli was a girl. They had three kids. Devin was the same age as Amber, then eleven year old Chris who was in sixth grade and seven year old Amelia who was in second grade.

"Alright mom and yea as far as I know she will be. Is it still okay for her to stay?"

"Yea just making sure. Love you Amber." Amber rolled her eyes.

"Love you too mom." She said sarcastically. Just like normal she told the rest of her siblings still in the car that she loved them as well. According to her you never know when you'll see them again.

"Love you Amby. Have a good day." Evelyn said to her. Amber smiled and I enjoyed seeing that smile on her face.

"Mom you don't look so good." Edison said giving me a funny look as he jumped into the front seat.

"I'll be fine Eddie. Just thinking some things over." I told him and he nodded his head. With that he went on about other things but I just kept thinking about this funny feeling in my gut.

Something was going to happen today and it wasn't going to be good.

After I dropped off Eddie it was just me and my youngest kids. Since Evelyn was in first grade and Jason was in fourth they went to the same school. I enjoyed this time more than anything because they were still young enough that they enjoyed talking with mommy.

"So what are you guys gonna do today?" I asked as they had smiles on their faces talking about everything they wanted to do.

"Today is the day Mommy." Jason said with a look of pride on his face.

"The day for what?" I asked smiling at the little boy in front of me.

"The day that I'm going to hold Alexis hand at recess." He said like it was something huge. I just giggled remembering the days of that being something huge.

Alexis was Jenna and Connors only daughter. They had four kids. An older boy who was the same age as Edison. His name is Andy. She then had twin boys who were younger than Alexis. They were four and in preschool. Randal and Robert were their names.

Evelyn wasn't saying a thing and smiling out the window.

"Mommy I love you." She said out of nowhere and it made my heart swell. I loved all my kids so much and didn't know what I would do without any of them. They were all my babies no matter how old they really were.

"I love you too baby." I told her with a smile.

"Can I use your phone and call daddy? I know I just saw him but I really wanna talk to him for some reason." I didn't find this odd at all because both her and Jason do that a lot. They always just randomly wanna talk to someone. I gave her my phone and she dialed his number. "Hey Daddy I know I just saw you but I wanted to call you and let you know how much I love you." I heard her giggle at something he had said but she nodded her head not that he could see her. "Okay Daddy I will and I will. Bye." She hung up and gave me the phone back. "Daddy said to tell you and Jason that he loves you guys and that he hopes we have a wonderful day."

"Alright Evelyn, isn't he a sweet Daddy?" I asked her and she nodded her head. "So what are you going to do today?" I asked her and she smiled real big.

"Like I always do Mommy, if I see a kid that doesn't have any friends than I'm going to play with them for the day. If that doesn't happen today then I'm going to pick flowers and give one to every person I see. Amber says you never know what someone is going through so to always be extra nice to people no matter how mean. You just may change a life for the better." I had tears in my eyes at that. My baby wasn't a baby anymore and listened so well. She didn't have to take her sisters advice to heart, but she did. It amazes me she can do that. So mature beyond her years.

"Well guys we are here. Jason I wish you luck on your hand holding with Alexis and Evelyn I hope you help a person out today." They each nodded their little heads and went on. They got out but both came back.

"We forgot to give kisses." Evelyn said and each one kissed my cheek. I kissed each one back but held on to Evelyn a little longer than usual. Something just told me too. I then gave Jason another hug as well. Something didn't feel right today and I wanted my babies to know I really did love them.

"Mommy loves you guys."

"I love you too Mommy." Jason said.

"Yea Mommy I love you so much that I bet I even love you more than you love me." She said with a giggle.

"I don't think that's possible. A Mommas love lives on forever no matter where you are or what's going on." She just grinned at me than walked off with her brother. "Something just doesn't feel right." I mumbled to myself as I watched my kids walk into school. I looked back and saw my twins were out and I giggled.

~~~Degrassi~~~

Once we got home I woke each kid up long enough to get them to my room and we all fell back asleep on the bed Eli and I share.

When I finally got up I looked at the clock and saw it was about 9:40 in the morning. I got up and turned on the TV. It was still on the news channel from this morning. It said something about a shooting and I just shook my head. Those poor babies with all these shooting.

Then I heard something that made me drop the remote.

"According to what we know so far a lot of people are injured at the Degrassi Elementary school. We don't know if anyone is dead at this time. They keep rushing bodies to the ambulances. Most the students and teachers are still in the school. We will keep you updated on what is going on."

I fell down on the floor with tears in my eyes. Two of my kids were at that school.

"No God, please don't take my babies away from me. You can't. Please let them be safe." I didn't know what to do except call Eli.

"Hey Clare what's up?"

"Eli you need to get home right now. There has been a shooting at the Elementary school. I need you please."

And that my lovely's is the first chapter of The Last Day... What do you think?

Before anyone says anything, yes I know another person has a fanfiction out right now about a school shooting... I've been reading it and I think her story is amazing! So please do not think I'm trying to steal it!

This story has been in my head for a while and is loosly based off the Sandy Hook that happened in 2012.. I say it loosly based cause as you read you'll notice a lot of differences... I didn't want it to be exactly like happened since this is fanfiction and what happened was just heart breaking...

Its kind of based off different shootings that have happened... I'm not used to writing about tragedies so if you don't like it I'm sorry...

Its sad how now days school shootings just seem to be the new normal for us... How sick some people are to just decide to shoot up a place...

If you know someone who was in a school shooting or you were than I'm so sorry... I hope you are alright and have learned to cope with it the best you can...

Should I continue this story? If I did it would be a four or five shot mainly cause I'm just not into writing full length stories anymore... I seem to be sticking with one-shots instead...

Would anyone be interested in reading this story? If I do continue just know that chapter two is very graphic on some parts...

Would y'all still read it?

Well... I've now taken enough of your time...

Bye for now!
