Previously:
"This is a code red, I repeat code red, this is not a drill" Principal Turner sternly said over the intercom
All the students were told to evacuate the school
"Lucas! Lucas!" Brooke called frantically while searching for Lucas
"Brooke he's over there" Peyton shouted across the crowd of people
"Hey Brooke we have to leave now!" Lucas shouted once finding Brooke
There went off 2 more gunshots and everyone had left the building
"Wait, where's Peyton?!" Brooke asked as they were just about to head out the door
"Brooke, I don't know, but we have to go!" Lucas shouted back
"No, not without Peyton" Brooke admitted
All the doors were shut and locked, and it was silent as Brooke and Lucas stood in the middle of the hall
"Lucas we have to get out of here" Brooke said looking around
"Ok, we have to slowly walk to the door" Lucas told Brooke
They walked up to the door only to find that it was locked
"Damn it" Lucas whispered
"Ok...what now?" Brooke asked now a little panicked
"Now, we have to find a empty classroom to hide out in" Lucas said grabbing Brooke by the arm and started to walk down the hall, but were quickly pulled into a dark room by a mysterious man
"What the hell?!" Brooke screamed
"Alright, sit down and shut up" Derek, the gunman ordered
He turned on the lights and Brooke and Lucas found Haley, Nathan, Peyton, Jake, Rachel and Mouth huddled in a corner on the ground
"Oh my god" Brooke repeated
"I said sit down and shut up!!" The gunman ordered again
Lucas and Brooke slowly took a seat next to Nathan and Haley
"Nate, what's going on?" Lucas whispered
"This guy's got us hostage man" Nathan replied
"Hey, I said NO talking!" Derek yelled
"Why are you doing this?" Peyton asked shaking
"Because, you deserve it" Derek screamed
"What did we do?" Rachel shot back
"Everything" Derek yelled
CHAPTER 2: Why us?
It had been a few minutes of silence—21 to be exact. Lucas sat there staring at the clock that hung at the top of the chalk board.
"Luke, i'm scared" Brooke whispered in Lucas' ear
"Me too Brooke" He returned stroking her hair
"NO talking!" Derek pointed the gun at them
"What are you gonna do about it?!" Peyton mumbled
"See this gun?" Derek asked
"Yeah, well its kinda hard not to, seeing that its being shoved in my face" Peyton yelled
"Good job, cause it's gonna be shoved up your ass in about 2 seconds if you don't shut the hell up" He said pulling the gun closer to the side of her head
"You wouldn't" She laughed
"You think this is some kind of a joke?" Brooke cut in
"Yeah, well this doesn't happen everyday, so I doubt he would really do it" Peyton said shifting in her chair
"Well, looks like you need a reality check, so heres one: this is happening right now, so if you don't shut up then we will die, cause he will shoot that gun at you" Brooke informed sternly
"Thanks for that, but I highly doubt it" Peyton said crossing her arms
"Oh, and if he does decide to take that gun and run rampant with it, I got your back" Peyton jooked
"Good, just try not to stick another knife in it, k?" Brooke snooted and turned her head the other way
"Guys, just shut up, ok?" Mouth whispered
"Whatever" Peyton glared
"I'm hungry" Haley moaned
"We all are" Brooke informed
"Hey, can we get some food?" Nathan asked the gunman
"What does this look like?" Derek started "A cafeteria? Or a hostage situation?" He continued
"Why are you doing this?" Rachel interjected
"Look sweetheart, haven't we gone over this already? You deserve it" Derek stated pacing around the room
"But what did we do to deserve it? I've never even talked to you" Rachel said shaking in her seat
"Exactly!" Derek flew his hands up "Maybe if all of you took the time to talk to me, maybe this wouldn't be happening" He said with the gun waving in the air
"My life is a living hell, my dad's a drug addict, my mom is god knows where, and my brother, the only person i thought i could count on, commited suicide last week" Derek cried "What do you think that says about me?" He added
"I think it says more about your family" Jake spoke up
"Why are you taking it out on us anyway?!" Brooke asked
"Because, maybe if some of you took the time to get to know me, then you would know all this shit that I have been dealing with, and you could help me through it and we wouldn't be here chatting about it, would we?" He admitted
"There are thousands of other kids around here, why us?" Haley said quivering in Nathans arms
"I don't know" He shouted
"I think you know, man" Lucas assured
"NO I don't, and you sure as hell don't know a fuck about me" Derek yelled causing them to jump in their seats
"Cause while you are waving pom-poms in the air, and shooting a ball into a basket, i'm here crying myself to sleep every night, just wishing things were better" He confessed
"I don't do any of that stuff, I barely have any friends, but you don't see me holding kids hostage and waving a gun in the air" Mouth cried
"At least I know all your names" He shouted "You, over there, your Brooke Davis, captain of the cheerleaders" He said waving his gun in the direction of a shivering Brooke "And you, your Lucas Scott, Co captian of the basketball team and probably the most popular guy in school with the most popular girl in school" He said moving over to Lucas "Your Rachel Gattina, and your Haley James Scott, your Nathan Scott and Peyton Sawyer and Mouth McFadden and Jake Jegelski" He yelled running out of breath from waving the gun in the air pointing out everyones names
"What's my name?" He asked
"Derek" Peyton said shaking
"Last name?" He asked once more
"That's what i thought" He said noticing her loss for words
"I don't know" She cried
Hey! Sorry it took so long, but hopefully this chapter makes up for the wait!
