A/N: I was actually going to write a chapter in school. I did write one in school but the damn internet shut down. Thank you for the reviews. This chapter might not be long because I have to leave for dinner in a few minutes but I will write what I can.
Marissa looked at Seth like he has four heads.
"What?" she whispered.
"He got shot. We were running from the shooters and me Summer and him all ran in different directions. I heard a gunshot and saw him on the floor. I went to go back for him, but I saw two gunners with their backs to me. I ducked into the bathroom. I don't know how long I was there for. I heard Summer's voice yelling and telling everyone to come out the shooters were dead. I stepped outside the bathroom but she was gone by then. I left the building and forgot about Ryan until I saw you" He broke down into sobs again. "If he's dead it's all my fault. I didn't go back for him like a good brother should have."
"Seth it's Ok. You panicked don't worry about it." She grabbed onto him and gave him a hug.
"I think I should call my parents," he said.
"Good idea."
He dialed his mother's number. It rang two times before she answered.
"Hey sweetie. Why aren't you in class?" she asked.
"Mom…there was…an accident."
"Oh my god! What happened?"
"There was a shooting at Harbor."
"OH MY GOD! Are you ok? Is Ryan ok?"
"Mom… I think Ryan is dead."
"Seth is this a prank? This better not be a joke."
Seth started to cry again. "It isn't a prank mom."
"Seth your father is here today. We will be there in ten minutes." She heard the click as Seth hung up the phone.
Marissa walked over to Seth when she saw him hang up the phone. "Come on. There is a paramedic named Rich that can give us the information as to who they found so far."
Seth and Marissa walked over to the guy on the podium. They saw the name tag that said "Rich" so they assumed it was him.
"I need to find two people."
"Ok. What are the names?"
"Ryan Atwood and Summer Roberts."
Rich started talking into a microphone and got a response a few minutes later.
"Summer Roberts was bought to the hospital due to a shot wound in the shoulder. Ryan was bought to the ICU. He is very close to death he might not make it."
"Where was he shot?" Seth asked.
"I'm not to certain. You can go to the hospital and see if you want. Are you family?"
"Yes he is my brother."
"What is your name?"
"Seth Cohen."
"You two are brothers, and have different last names?"
"He was adopted into our family a few months ago."
"Oh. I see. Anyway there are more people looking for someone. I hope he pulls through. You guys are lucky also. I heard Summer's story as to what she did before she passed out. She is a very brave person."
"That's our Summer. Always doing the dumb shit," Seth laughed. A single tear slid down the boy's face, but he wiped it away before Marissa noticed.
Seth thought about the day he fell in love with her…
It was the first day of third grade. All the kids went outside to play recess but little Seth just trailed along in the back. He walked outside and expected it to be like every other year. No friends, no hope.
But he noticed a girl sitting alone in the corner. He wanted to go over, but he was too scared. She was the prettiest girl he ever saw. He was so nervous he peed in his pants a little. He went inside and cleaned himself off but by the time he was done, recess was over.
Seth started to cry thinking of that memory. It was the greatest day of his life. He still loves her, and he never got to tell her how he felt.
Sandy and Kirsten pulled up and Marissa and Seth got into the car.
They drove to the nearest hospital and they knew it was the right one because of every ambulance that was going in and out.
Sandy parked the car and the four of them got out and went towards the emergency room. It was flooding with people. They found an available nurse and asked her for information on the two teens.
"Are you family?" She questioned.
"Ryan is my adopted son and we are in custody of Summer while her mother is out of town. She has no other family near here."
"Ok. Both of them are in surgery right now. From what it says in the computer, Summer had a bullet stuck in her shoulder blade. They believe it have torn some tendons and destroyed muscle they aren't sure where it hit. As for Ryan, they are doing all they can right now to save him. They aren't sure if he is going to make it. He got shot twice. Once in the leg, another time in the stomach and that is where he is suffering most of the blood loss."
"Oh my god…" Kirsten muttered.
"You can go to the 12th floor waiting room if you want. That is where Summer will be. She will be out of surgery much quicker than Ryan and he won't be allowed visitors if he does make it."
The four of them headed over to the elevators to wait for Summer, and to pray for Ryan.
Sorry it is short. It is just a quick update so you know what happened. More will be explained in the next chapter when I have time. Don't expect it to come so quickly though I will take my time with it.
