Mariana POV

"Mariana please head to the library to take the makeup test. See Ms. Goldwyn, she will make sure that you are set. You have one hour from when you arrive to hand it to her. Good luck." Timothy said to me. I packed my bag and headed to the library. "Stupid roughhousing Jesus and Jude and stupid accidental punch causing me to visit the emergency dentist. Stupid makeup test." I mutter under my breath on my way to the library.

I checked in with the librarian, got my test and went to sit down at one of the tables. I was about halfway into the test when I could smell gas pretty strongly. I asked Ms. Goldwyn about it, but she told me to shush. I finished the test, handed it in and headed toward the doors. As I got closer to the door, the smell got stronger and then BOOM! and everything went black.

I woke up and spent a moment trying to figure it all out. I could tell I was on the floor and that I was still in the library at school. I could tell that my head was pounding and I felt a bit sick. I could tell that I couldn't really move. I turned my head trying to figure out why I couldn't move, but my neck was hurting a bit too. I take the deepest breath I can, close my eyes and count to ten hoping this is just a bad dream. I open my eyes again and it is not a dream. I am actually here stuck. I start calling out for help from someone, anyone but it is too loud around and my voice just gets drowned out. I look around to see if anyone is around and I see a girl on my right. She is laying on her stomach with a huge pile of books on her back. I try to see if I can reach her. "Just a little further." I think to myself. I just barely touch her and she looks at me. She looks like she is in a lot of pain. "What's your name?" I ask her. "What?" She calls back. I wish I could help her but I can't. My head starts to pound and it feels like my brain is going to fall out of my head and before I know it I fade into the black again.

Lena POV

"So if we apply for the MusicFlows grant we may be able to take the kids to..Monte does it smell like gas to you?" Monte nods. We both get up and Monte calls the janitor while I head toward the utility room. I get about 10 feet from my office when I hear a boom, feel a shake and in a moment it is over. I can't tell if there was an earthquake or what. But something happened. I call the fire department, it's a stat requirement to call 911 after an earthquake during school hours. I find Monte, we quickly decide to evacuate the school and I make the announcement.

I head outside by the big oak tree between the school and the parking lot. It's a spot that I have always told the kids to meet at if the school ever gets evacuated. I wait there. The first kid to arrive is a panicked Callie. I can see that she is looking around, I know she is looking for Jude. Even thought she wont say that she was looking specifically for him, but I know that. Jude is the next one to come out, which relieves Callie and makes me feel a lot better as well. Brandon and Jesus meet up by the tree. I kiss my kids and wait for Mariana. I know that she was in Timothy's class and I know that his room is at the back of the school so I know it might take her longer then the other kids. It seems to be taking a long time for Mariana to get to the meeting spot and I can see that Jesus is starting to get antsy. I reach over and pull hime into a hug "Hey bud, I'm sure she's fine. She's in Timothy's class and there are still a lot of kids coming out. Just give her a few more minutes." I say that with the most convincing voice I can, I hope the words are true. I look around and see Timothy pushing his way through the crowd of kids towards me. "Hey Lena, my class had to evacuate out the windows. When we opened the doors there was a huge crack in the hall. Is Mariana with you? I sent her to the library to do a makeup test and she hadn't made it back to me before the boom." he said. "No she hasn't made it back. I thought she was with you. Thanks for telling me. I will keep you posted." I say. I am scared. "Mariana, where are you?" I ask mostly into the sky. I see Monte coming towards me and in the distance I see a blonde female cop and hope and pray that it is Stef. Monte comes over "Lena, I talked to the fire marshall. He said there was a gas line explosion. It was worst in the library. We need to work on something to say to the media which is starting to show up and we need to organize getting the kids to their worried parents." "Wait, Monte, the library? Mariana was in there, or maybe is still in there. I don't know. The point is, until I know where my youngest daughter is I won't be doing anything else Monte. My family comes first." I say to my boss in the hopes that I don't get fired over this. I hear the officer calling my name in the distance and as she gets closer, I know its Stef. "I'm so glad to see you" I saw as I hug my wife. She proceeds to kiss each of the kids. "Where's Miss Thing?" Stef asks. "She was in the library when the explosion happened. I don't know if she's still there or what but I know that I haven't seen her" "I'm going to go and find our youngest daughter. I will be back" Stef said and she left toward the library.

AN: So I don't know how many chapters this will be but I have ideas for a few. If you have anything you are desperate to see let me know. Otherwise have a great day or evening (depending on when you read this, I read these stories before bed).
