When One Person Loves Another…

Stevie, Nelson, Grace, and Kevin were still in shocked silence at the sound of the gun shots. The sobs of Kacey's mom's sobs were still the only sounds heard. The group, even Colton, felt badly because they couldn't even say a word to comfort her. But what good was giving her a comfort that they couldn't even give themselves. Colton lead Kacey's mother away, trying to put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Where were Kacey and Zander? Were they being held hostage? Were they hurt? Were they the ones the shooters were shooting at? Were they… dead? These were the questions Stevie, Kevin, Nelson, and Grace were asking themselves repeated. They tried so hard not to think of her as dead. But, at the same time, they couldn't rule that out as one of the options. They also thought the same about Molly. No matter how much they disliked her, they didn't want anything to happen to her.

Stevie looked at the group through wide eyes. It had just dawned on Stevie that no one had tried to call or text Kacey. "Did anyone try to call Kacey or Zander?" Stevie asked breaking the silence.

"Oh! No! Call her, call her" Kevin and Nelson responded. Stevie took out her cell phone and started to dial Kacey's number.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Grace exclaimed causing everyone to look at her.

"What is it Grace?" Stevie asked.

"Wouldn't Kacey have called at least one of us by now?" Grace asked.

"Think about it Grace, what is the first thing you think of when you're in danger?" Grace looked at her with a blank expression. "Getting out of there! She probably hasn't realized that calling was an option. Besides her letting us know that she was okay would give us peace of mind" Stevie explained.

Stevie dialed Kacey's number. "It's ringing"

Kevin felt vibrating in his pocket. He took the phone out of his pocket and answered it. "Hello" He said shakily.

"Kevin?" Stevie asked, confused. She turned towards the boy who was standing next to Nelson and Grace. "Reallly?" She hung up her phone.

"I'm sorry. I completely forgot that Kacey had let me borrow her phone during free period. I left mine at home" Kevin said.

"Ugh!" Stevie huffed, her frustration with situation building.

"Stevie, it's ok. Try Zander" Nelson said.

"If Kevin is sure he doesn't have any more phones?" Stevie said to Kevin.

Kevin checked his pockets. "Nope. All clear. just Kacey's"

Stevie was about to call Zander when her phone ringing interrupted her dialing. "Ahh" She dropped her phone on the ground.

"What? What is it Stevie?" Nelson asked.

"It's Zander's mom! Hopefully, she won't call back if I ignore it" It wasn't that Stevie didn't want to answer her call, it was that she had a very strong feeling that she knew what it was about, Zander. With the amount of media here this story was on every news channel.

"Zander's mom knows your phone number?" Grace asked.

"I told you Zander and I was close" Stevie picked up her phone off the ground.

"Jackson, I told you time and time again that Molly would needed to be put into a private school but no, Mr. She would be exposed more to the real world in public school. You don't see private schools blowing up, do you?"

"Not now Nicolette"

The boastful, argumentative voices of Molly's parents rang out and could be heard throughout the parking lot. The group turned to see them, Jackson and Nicolette Garfunkel. Contrary to popular belief, Jackson is the most down to earth person. Nicolette is... let's just say that she's the reason Molly is the way she is.

They were walking toward the crowd of people and news media. "Molly!" Her mom called. "Molly!" She called again a little more franticly this time. "Oh, honey, there's Grace" She said to Molly's dad, pointing towards Grace.

She pushed pass Stevie, Kevin, and Nelson to get to Grace. "What the fuck?" Stevie said in a hushed tone under her breath.

"Grace, look at you. Are you ok" She asked examining her injures. "I told your mother that you girls needed to go to private school. Just look at you"

"I'm fine" Grace said uncomfortably.

"Where is Molly, sweet heart?" Grace dreaded that she asked that question.

"I really don't know" She said with a somber tone.

"What?" Her mom asked.

Grace just shrugged her shoulders.

Zander picked up all of the things that fell off of the now broken self and just threw the in the corner. He stuck the rag he was going to use in his pocket.

"Clumsy…" Kacey attempted the laugh at Zander's antics. He could see that she was growing worse by every passing minute. He decided that he would check Kacey's wounded leg. He undid the tied shirt to find that the wound had stopped bleeding but it was now a reddish-purple and black color. Infection.

The level of intensity had risen from serious to a real life or death situation.

"How does it look?" Kacey asked. He quickly tied the shirt.

"Stop trying to talk. You need to save your strength" Zander told Kacey as he sat back down next to her as she was sitting up against the wall. "Let's see what we can do about this headache" He told her. He took the bottle of water, wet the rag, and rang it out, folded it, and put it on Kacey's feverish forehead.

Zander racked his brain for a solution to the problem. If he attempted to get her out of the school he would be putting her life in danger. If he kept her here any longer, he would be putting her life in danger still, possibly, even more so.

"Fuck it" He said out loud. He decided what he was going to do.

"It hurts so… bad" Kacey breathed to Zander.

"I know, Kacey. I'm going to get you out of here" Zander thought that if he could just get her to the exit that was around the corner. "Do you trust me?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course I do" Kacey responded. "What are you going to do?"

"Why? What are you going to do?"

"First, this" He leaned in and his lips collided with hers. If you didn't count what he was about to do, that was the most impulsive thing he's done in quite a while. He'd only imagine kissing her once but it wasn't anything like this, definitely not under these circumstances.

After she'd gotten over the initial shock of his actions, she had begun to kiss him back. The kiss didn't deepen but it was open mouth. No tongue. No intensity, in the kiss that is. No furiousness. Just pure emotion shared between the both of them.

Zander broke the kiss. No, it wasn't like he had ever imagined. It was better in a weird sort of way. Kind of like a bad action movie where the hero shows the "damsel in distress" that he has fallen in love with her, before whisking her off to safety.

Kacey did but didn't want to question the kiss she was having a little trouble processing at this point in time. She knew that she felt really great now.

Zander hadn't heard any gun shots in a while and that's all he had to go on. He got off the ground and went to door, opened it. He looked down the hall the hall to the left, seeing nothing but emptiness. Then, to the right, where he was met with the site of debris from the explosion.

"I'll be right back" Zander told Kacey.

He went out of it, leaving it cracked behind him. I walked down the hall, on high alert. He stepped over the debris caused by the courtyard explosion. He rounded the corner at the end of the hall and looked down it.

He could see the exit at the end of the hall. "We're good let me just get Kacey" Zander said to himself out loud.

He ran back to closet to get Kacey. He knew he had to hurry. He didn't attempt to explain to her what was going on. There was no time. Someone with a gun can show up any minute "Kacey we have to go, now!" Zander said with intensity. "Come on" He attempted to get her to stand up.

"I can't feel my leg, Zander" What was he thinking of course she wouldn't be able to walk.

"Wrap your arms around my neck" Kacey cupped her hands around his neck as Zander put one hand on Kacey's back and under her thing and lifted her off of the ground. Kacey buried her in his neck.

Zander walked a fast pace. He knew he couldn't run with Kacey in his arms. He considered himself kind of strong but not that strong. They walked down the hallway, keeping his eye trained on his destination and nothing else.

He wasn't even halfway down the hall before, he was attacked from the side. Zander was hit from the side with an object that didn't feel like a human fist, causing him to lose his grip on Kacey, she fell to the ground. As a reflex he caught himself on the wall.

He spit out the blood from the blow to his cheek. He turned around to see if who hit him was still there, he met by a shaking gun, inches away.

"Kenton Donavan" He said slightly above a whisper.
