Enjoy my pretties.
I own nothing.
"WHAT?! Why are we still here then? Why haven't we evacuated?"
"They left instructions. We aren't suppose to alert the students. I'm working on a plan to get everyone out safely, but before I can get anywhere with that, I need you to get out of here. I need you safe."
"But what about..."
"I'm going to get them out as soon as you leave." He interrupted, thinking I meant my friends
"I wasn't referring to them. What about you?"
"I'll be fine. As long as we are careful and cautious, we can get everyone out safely and unharmed."
I pulled him back into a hug. "I'm not leaving you here. I can help."
"Aria, I can't let you do that."
"No! I'm staying." I held on tighter.
"We don't have time to argue. Please, just leave and go find Ali. Make sure she is safe. The girls will join you shortly."
I pulled away. "Does this have something to do with Ezra?"
"I think so. So does Gabe, but even if it doesn't this is serious. Go find Ali. I'll get the girls out."
"Mike?" I questioned.
"The school nurse sent him home with your mom. 'Fever' of some sort." He put his fingers up, in quotation marks when he said fever.
"Please be safe."
He leaned down and kissed me. "Thank you. I'll find you soon."
"I love you."
"I love you too." He walked me to the door and leaned down to give me a final kiss.
I turned and walked out to my car and drove to where Ali was staying.
