"Look...she's waking up..." Eric whispered. Emily opened her eyes, she looked at the surroundings in front of her. She was in an ambulance.

"Is he gone?" She asked. Eric stroked Emily's brown hair and nodded, "Yeah, major jail time for Jesse...I can't believe he'd shoot you to get secrets!"

Emily looked at him, "Eric, Devon wants something from you!" She muttered. Eric put his finger up to her lips, "Shh...the Perimedics told me not to let you talk..."

Emily dug her fingers into the stretcher that she was on top, "OH GOD!!!!!!" She screamed.

She tilted her head back and gritted her teeth, Eric grabbed her hand. "It's okay, it's okay!!"

Emily squezed Eric's hand, "IT'S NOT OKAY!!!!!!! MY LEG HURTS!!!"

"Don't move...don't-Emily, lay still!!" Eric said.

The doors of the ambulance opened, "Alright, get out Eric." The driver said.

Eric nodded and jumped out of the ambulance, "Nathan!" He shouted when he saw his big haired friend in the parking lot, Nathan ran up to him.

"Dude, the shootings all over the news now!!! How's Emily?" He asked. Eric looked back, "Not good, she's in shock." He stuffed his hands in his pockets, "What did Steven want with Emily?" He asked.

Nathan looked at him, "That's why I'm here, dude...you gotta get outta here. Devon is gonna kick you butt! With weapons!" He said. Eric put his head in his hands, "Oh...God, what's wrong. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!?!?!" He shouted.

Nathan stared at Eric, "Are you praying?"

"Duh," Eric muttered. "I have to go be with my sister, stall!" He called as he ran into the hospital.

Nathan scratched his head, "Man..."

Jackson sat on the couch watching the news while he ate lunch, he was still at Melissa's house.

"And now for the breaking news, with Ashley Milo. And now to you Ashley." Said the news reporter.

"Thank you Dean, I'm in Jacksonville LA California where there was a shooting in Hartwell High School. Shooting victom is this girl, Emily McGorrill. Witness's say that she was shot in the leg twice."

When Jackson heard Emily's name being said on TV, he started to choke on his sandwich.

"Look!!! Melissa's boyfriend is dying!!!" Said Johnny, Melissa's little brother.

Jackson kept waving his hands, trying to say, 'EMILY'S BEEN SHOT!!!' But he couldn't stop gagging.

Johnny ran and jumped on Jackson's back, "TERONNEYMO!!!" He shouted. Jackson stumbled and fell flat on his face. "GET OFF!!!" He yelled. Johnny rolled off of him, Jackson stood up and ran up to Melissa's room.

"Emily got shot." He said. Melissa looked up, "Are you serious!?!?!" She asked. Jackson picked up his cellphone, "We'll find out will we." Jackson dialed Eric's cellphone number.

Eric sat in the waiting room, when his cellphone rang. Eric jumped up and walked outside, "Jackson?"

"Eric, the shootings all over the news!! Is it true that Emily got shot twice in the leg?" Jackson asked.

Eric looked at Nathan who was still standing at his car, "Uh...yeah. She's not doing so good, I think I should go now..." Eric hung up, "Devon! Leave Nathan alone!" He shouted. Devon was there, holding on to Nathan's hair.

"Where's my money McGorrill!?" He shouted.

Eric looked at him, "Devon, the money is gone! I'm sorry!"

Devon threw Nathan to the ground and walked upto Eric, he punched him in the gut. "I want my money!"

"C'mon Devon, we used to be best friends!" Eric whined. Devon pulled Eric up, "That was untill you stole my money!"

"I borrowed it, I said I would pay you back once I got back from the trip a year ago. But here's the thing, we crashed! I was on an island for six months!" Eric said.

Devon grabbed Eric's hair and pushed him to the ground, "Like I'm gonna believe that crap! It's my 100 dollars! And I want it now!"

Eric wiped the blood that dripped from his nose, "I can't give it to you now, your friend shot my sister!!"

"And she deserved it! She's a loser!" Devon snapped. Eric balled his fist and punched Devon in the face.

"She is not a loser!!"
