Author's Notes: Sorry this took long, but this was a hard chapter to write. There might be some spelling mistakes, but nothing you can't read. Oh, I'm changing my pen name to mindysue just in case you like reading my stories. Well, that's all. PLEASE don't forget to review last time I only got two and for the first chapter I got 7. Thanks!
What You Leave Behind
Chapter 5
Tyler walked out of the war zone that once been his honors calculus classroom. At that moment he wasn't proud to say that he had been apart of that chaos. He didn't feel the zings of excitement that he had felt at the beginning. He was no longer exhilarated by the thought of getting revenge on the people that had wronged him. Now all he could see was the four faces of the people he had killed because of that need to feel revenge. It was all so stupid he realized now, but now was too late. He only wished he had realized that a week ago when they were fine tuning their plans, so he could of told the police and saved those four people that were now lifeless because of him.
Tyler stopped in front of the janitorial closet where, according to Carson, Jenny Ingram was hiding. Jenny was the younger sister of Miss Ingram, the deeply hated and very strict English teacher. It was theorized that by Carson and the others (Tyler included), that if they killed her younger sister Miss Ingram would lighted up a little for future classes. It had been Tyler's job to kill Jenny and he had failed, but Carson had found the goodness in his very twisted heart to tell Tyler where she was hiding instead killing him right on the spot for disobeying orders. Tyler almost wished that Carson had just killed him, he really didn't want to cause anymore disruction today.
Maybe she's not in there, Tyler thought to himself as he opened up the door. She was. Jenny Ingram was huddled in the corner of the tiny room that was farthest away from the "war zone" and much to Tyler's surprise his best friend, Hank Beechmen, was sitting there. They both turned their heads to see who it was that had entered their sanctory.
Tyler watched as Hank's facial expression went from surprise and relief at seeing his friend then to worry and confusion at seeing the object in Tyler's hand, the same object that Jenny had seen in Tyler's hand no more than minutes before.
Tyler had no clue as to what to what to do. He knew that Carson and the others would him to shoot about Jenny and Hank, but he wasn't sure if that was what he wanted to do. He finally decided that since he'd gone this far off the deep end he might as well just go all the way. Tyler pulled the gun up from his side and took aim at Jenny and stared hard at her.
"Tyler," He heard Hank say from outside of his field vision, "Give me the gun," Tyler held steady and could see Jenny shake in fear in front of his eyes, "Come on, man. Don't do this. You don't want to do this," Tyler didn't budge although he was listening to every word his friend said, "Damn it, Tyler, just put the gun down!" It may have been the desperation in his friend's voice or maybe it was the fact that he didn't really want to kill or for that matter live anymore. Whatever it was Tyler dropped the gun on to the ground. He could hear Hank let out a sigh a relief, "It's okay, man," Hank said, "It's okay," Despite his friend's resurgence Tyler knew that it wouldn't be okay no matter what he did it was all over for him.
Hank watched as his friend sank down to the ground. He was completely baffled, he was glad that Tyler hadn't shot Jenny, but it scared it him that he almost had. Tyler had never expressed to Hank that he wanted to kill anyone or could. It was all weird.
Hank was disrupted from his rather confusing thoughts by a loud pounding at the door. "Is there anyone here?" A male voice, Hank thought to be a police officer shouted.
"There's three of us!" Hank shouted back, as he looked at Jenny, who had regressed back to her rocking and Tyler, who looked as if he was on another planet.
"Okay," Came the reply from the other side of the door, "I want you to open up the door and come out slowly with your hands up."
Hank looked to Jenny who had taken sometime to pull herself together and she had stood up ready to leave. Hank seeing her eyes on him also stood up and turning saw Tyler do the same. He walked up the door, opened it and walked out with hands up. He then watched as Jenny did the same and waited for Tyler to follow. "Aren't there three of you?" A near by officer asked.
Hank was about to respond when a single gunshot resonated from the the closet.
AN: That's all! Did you like it? Were you surprised? Do you want a sequel?
Do apple cores float? Why aren't there sit down comedians? What type of backpack does Hank have? Sorry, I got a little carried away. Thanks for reading!
