Haley James Scott sat back up against the wall, her arms wrapped around her legs trembling. Her fingers fiddled with the sleeve of the blue stripped hoodie she was wearing as she looked around the room. Mouth McFadden, Bevin Maskey, Skills Taylor, Rachel Gattina, Abby Brown, Jimmy Edwards and Marcus Coloma surrounded her. These people were her friends and classmates and the thought of them being in harm's way made her heart beat faster. The one thing she could take comfort in was the fact that Nathan was safe.
"How long do we have to wait?" Marcus asked interrupting her thoughts.
"I don't know." She replied softly.
"What do you mean you don't know? You told us to wait here!" Marcus exclaimed.
"Hey, leave Haley alone she knows what she's doing." Bevin announced from the table, Skill's arm wrapped around her shoulder.
"We have to wait till the police tell us it's safe, it's protocol - ."
"Screw the protocol there's a lunatic out there with a gun!" He cried pointing to the door.
"What makes you think he's a lunatic?" Questioned Jimmy and Marcus turned to face him.
"Jeez, I don't know fat ass maybe because they brought a gun into the school," He snarled sarcastically, "Look I don't know about the rest of you but I'm leaving." He stated walking toward the door.
"You can't, you have to stay here."
"Get out of my way." He demanded shoving Haley back toward the wall.
"I would listen to her." Jimmy suggested calmly.
"Why should - ." Marcus stopped mid-sentence and his eyes widened in fear as he saw the gun in Jimmy's hand.
Nathan Scott's hands were trembling. His knuckles were beginning to turn white as they were tightly curled around the metal bat in his sweaty palms. His heart was pounding in his chest and his mouth was dry. He slowly turned the corner and took a deep breath before knocking on the tutor's center door.
"Jim, what are you doing?" Mouth asked.
"Don't talk to me Mouth!" Jimmy demanded.
"And you get away from the door." He commanded pointing the gun at Marcus.
"All right dude, chill." He said putting his hands up and stepping away from the door but a knock from the other side made him stop.
"Great," He muttered under his breath, "Everyone be quite." The knocking stopped and a voice called out.
"Haley!" It's me open up." Jimmy instructed.
"Did you tell him we were in here?" Jimmy asked and Haley shook her head.
"No, I swear."
"Well either way it doesn't matter, he's going to die." He replied, his finger resting on the trigger.
"No, please - . "
"Shut up and open the door."
"I can't he's my husband, you'll kill him - "
"I said open the door." He growled pointing the gun directly in her face. Haley's fingers clumsily fiddled with the lock.
"Nathan! Run, Jimmy has a gun!" She shouted.
"You stupid bitch!" He cried pulling her back.
"Open the door!" He ordered Marcus and he obeyed.
"No!" She cried breaking away from Jimmy, the door swung open and there stood Nathan. Jimmy pulled the trigger and gunshots and screams echoed throughout the room.
So what do you think? Should I continue, please review.
