Rick awaited his next victim. Jay. He still had no intentions of physically hurting Jay, just the special someone Jay cared about most. AKA Alex. For Rick, this was a double shot. Alex, as well as being Jay's girlfriend, was also one of his number one tormentors. Walking quickly up the hall, he soon spotted Alex behind the open door of her locker. She saw his feet.

"What do you want, freak?" she asked.

"Mmmmm… Not much," he replied. "Just revenge." Startled, she turned to face him. He was holding a gun to her face. Shrieking, she yanked the locker door in front of her as a barrier. Amazingly, the strong metal did the trick. Thinking fast, she pulled the fire alarm. Rick turned to see what the noise was. Alex used this to her advantage. She turned and ran as fast as she could. Fast, away from the man who she had tormented mercilessly. Away from… the gun. She was running for her very life.

Jay was mad. He had slept in AGAIN! This was the third time this week! He hopped into his car and sped off to Degrassi. Maybe if he was lucky he could get there before homeroom. HA! Fat Chance! He zipped into the parking lot and ran off to homeroom. On the way, he smacked right into someone.

"Alex?"

"Jay! Run! Rick…Gun…Kill….REVENGE!!!"

"WHAT??" exclaimed Jay.

"RUN!!!!" cried Alex yet again. "He's coming!" And with that, Jay grabbed her hand and pulled her to the door. Once outside, he sat her down.

"OK. Tell me EXACTLY what is going on," he told her. Gasping for breath, she replied, "Rick came up to me and held a gun to my face. He shot, but I jumped behind my locker door…"

"Your locker door stopped a bullet?" asked Jay, amazed.

"Yes," replied Alex. "He shot and the locker door stopped it. I pulled the fire alarm and ran. And then I bumped into you."

"OK," he said, putting an arm around her. "Let's go."

"Go where?" she frantically asked.

"Anywhere. Look, there's Spinner and Paige. Let's go sit over there with them." Alex and Jay went over and sat next to Spinner and Paige. Paige was sitting in Spinners lap, sobbing.

"What happened with you?" asked Jay.

"Rick tried to shoot her, but I pulled her out of the way in time. What happened with you?" answered Spinner.

"Rick tried to shoot Alex, but she blocked it with the locker door and pulled the fire alarm." Jay looked over at Alex. "You OK?" he asked. She shook her head. She was very pale. Jay took her hand and put an arm around her shoulder. He brought her to a secluded spot and waited. Alex's stomach heaved. She vomited all over the place. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she whispered, "I hate Rick." Jay led her back to Paige and Spinner and sat her down. He put an arm around her shoulder and sat there with her. Gradually, all of her tension melted away. She sat next to him and whispered very softly, so no one but him could hear three words she had only said once to him. "I love you." Jay pulled her closer and said, "I love you too."

A/N: AWWWWWWW! OK so some of you might be thinking, "That is so totally out of character for Jay and Alex!" but I really don't think it is. I mean, they just went through a near death experience. They luv each other! Soooooooooooooooooooo I think its them in one of there more uhh…. Tender moments…. LOL Please Review! Chapters will get bigger, I promise!!!!!!!

Smiles!
