Amy spun around at the noise that she heard. More shots were going off inside the building. She looked around in hopes of seeing Ephram, but no such luck. He was nowhere in sight. She began to silently panic. What if Ephram was inside the building? These thoughts were racing through her head as Colin pulled her close to him and said in a soothing voice, "Everything's going to be okay, Amy."
She looked up at him and forced a weak smile. He smiled back, but his was much more sincere and meaningful. He held onto her for a while longer while she continued to look around the campus in hopes of spotting him. Where was he?

Ephram froze right where he was standing. 'The police,' he thought, 'I'm going to be okay.' This thought ran through his head as he remained clutching onto the doorknob.
"Alright, come out boy, we know you're hiding in here!" said the strong voice of one of the officers. Ephram didn't even think twice about his decision. He clutched onto the handle and pulled the door open. He raced to the middle of the hall with a sense of relief running through him when another bang went off. He saw the look of horror in the officer's eyes in the split second before the bullet hit its target. He had shot the wrong boy.

"Amy, I have to ask you something," Colin said in a soft, comforting voice.
"What Colin?" she asked him weakly.
"Well, I don't know if this is the right time to bring this up, but I have to."
"Okay, go ahead," Amy replied beginning to feel a tinge of nervousness.
"I know that Bright got shot, but he's going to be okay." he started.
"Yeah," she said.
"It's just, you've seemed so distant from me lately, and what's up?" Colin asked worriedly.
"Colin, we really have to talk!"
