BillieMaverick: It's almost been a year now...
Sheen's POV
Dammit this wasn't supposed to happen! How did they know where I was? I lay in the debree of the school, it felt like hours since the explosion, which it had to be, because behind the thick smoke, the sun was setting. I guess this is what I got for getting involved with this. I just didn't mean for the others to get hurt. The others! I pulled myself up, and I was covered in soot and dirt. I looked around at the the remains of the school, which was nothing.
"Help!" I heard come from somewhere. Wait, I knew who it was! "Libby? Where are you?" I said looking around frantically. There was no answer, so I started looking. I came to where a large pile of wood and bricks. "Libby?" I said quietly. "Help!" She yelled from the pile. I ran toward the pile and started throwing drift wood and bricks aside. I found her, covered in blood and burned. She leaped up into my arms, crying. I held her, trying to calm her down.
"Libby, it's okay, alright?" I said. I wasn't good at calming people down, I was usually the one who had to be calmed down. She did calm down a little, and pulled away from me, frightened. "Sheen what the hell's going on?" She yelled at me, angry and scared, "Where's everyone else? Huh Sheen? What's going on?" I stood, puzzled. How did she know I was the reason the school exploded? Did she? Or was it just the fact that I had spent the summer in the dangerous NYC...
"Sheen!" She yelled at me. I jumped and put my hands on her shoulders, "Don't worry about that alright. Help me find the others." I looked into her chocolate eyes and she sighed, "Fine, but you better tell me what's going on later, got it?" She said, crossing her arms. I nodded, "I'll explain it best I can." She stepped back from me, "It was you!" I shook my head, "No, I'm just the reason it got blown up."
"Libby! Sheen!" Carl's voice came from behind me. He came stumbling up to us, his shirt torn, glasses fogged up with dirt, and hair smoking. He put his hand on my shoulder and leaned down to catch his breath. I put his arm around me and Libby came over and put his other arm around her. We helped him to a pile where he could sit and let him down slowly. "Thanks guys." He said and then put his head into his hands.
"Lib, you stay here with him, I'll be back." I said starting to look around. I didn't wait for an answer even, I walked away to start looking for other people. The territory looked like something out of my old Mercenaries game. A battlefield of destruction, hellbound. For the first time in about a little over a year or so, I was scared to death. My best friends were in grave danger, and two are missing right now, possibly really hurt...or worse...
BillieMaverick: Yah, short. I know. School's been stressing the hell out of me and I've come into a different grade since the last time I've updated. I'll be updating my other stories too. I'll start working on a new chapter of my Danny Phantom.
