Author's Notes: Thanks you guys again for all the reviews! I really enjoyed reading them! Thanks to my beta readers too! I know this another short chapter, but the next one will be longer I promise. Just a little note, one my friends has this saying that she likes that goes "Why do people kill people to show that killing people is wrong?"
Val opened up her eyes to the sound of gunfire and searing pain. She lifted up her head to try to see how bad her stab wound was, "Lay back down," A voice told her. She looked up to find Damian Mercer, a football player and the guy that had had the same English class as Val since 7th grade, standing over her. Val did as she was told and laid her head back down.
"What's going on?" She asked him, as tried to figure out the extent of her injuries from the amount of pain she was in.
"All I know is that Jason stabbed you he pulled out a gun and started shooting and then I think some of his friends joined in," He explained to her, "What did Jason want anyway?"
"He wanted to copy my math worksheet," Val said and then scrunched up her face in pain, Good, she thought to herself, He's trying to stop the bleeding.
"Have you seen Tyler?" She asked, worried about the guy she thought she truly loved.
"No, not since Physics and that was first period. But I'm sure he's just fine," Damian said reassuring her with a smile, just as the PA system went on and Mr. Carlson's voice could be heard through out the school, "Attention all teachers, staff, and students we are going in to lock-down. Please proceed to the nearest classroom at once."
"I'm going to carry you to Mr. Young's classroom, okay?" Damian told Val, "His is the closest and he has a couch that you can lay on,"
"Okay," Val said and then added with a weak smile, "I've been meaning to visit him," Damian lifted her up and then carried the short distance to the classroom. He was somehow able to get the door open by kicking it. Val and Damian were greeted by an extremely confused Mr. Young.
"What happened?" He asked as he cleared off the couch in the corner of his room so Damian could lay Val down on it.
"Some jerk stabbed Val in the hall and then started shooting people," Damian explained as he laid Val down on the now vacant couch.
"Does it hurt?" Mr. Young asked getting to Val's level, "What I mean is does I hurt a lot?"
"Not as much as it used to," Val said mostly to reassure her teacher.
"Do you hear that?" Damian asked suddenly.
"Hear what?" Mr. Young asked.
"That's my point," Damian explained, "The gunfire stopped,"
