Here's a quick update...
"Oh, you had to be the hero didn't you," Jimmy said, holding the gun incredibly tightly pointing it directly at Nathan's heart. Haley felt fear fill her. She couldn't lose Nathan, she didn't know how she'd manage if Jimmy snapped and decided to pull the trigger. "Why did you have to do that?" Jimmy asked
"Because this is wrong!" Nathan shouted. "You must know that."
"Nathan shut up," Haley said loudly as Jimmy advanced on the two of them. "Please just shut up."
"Stop pointing that at her," Nathan said in a voice which was much calmer than he felt.
"Or what Scott?" Jimmy said in a snide voice.
"You don't want to do this," Haley said. "This isn't the person I know. You know this is wrong." Jimmy closed his eyes, trying to ignore everything that she was saying. He focused on the reason he had decided to come into school with a gun this morning. The unrelenting bullying that had gone on for years. His hatred came to the surface and he couldn't hold it in anymore. And he pulled the trigger. The shot rang out deafening everyone. They were too stunned to duck or react in any other way. Out in the hall Lucas froze as he heard the shot. Even Brooke who had slipped into unconsciousness jerked her head up briefly before slipping back again. In those precious few seconds he considered what he should do. Turn back? Or carry on towards the exit. Those seconds wasted all the time of advantage he could have gained. He heard the door slam and then a voice spoke.
"Turn around," Jimmy said. Lucas slowly spun around with Brooke's body lying in his arms.
"I have to get her some help," Lucas said. "She's in a bad way."
"Where did you come from?" Jimmy asked looking around for other people.
"The library," Lucas said. "I have to get her to the hospital." For the first time Jimmy looked at Brooke, seeing her horribly broken figure in Lucas's arms.
"Oh God!" Jimmy whimpered, completely devastated by what he'd done. "I can't… What have I done?"
"I heard a shot," Lucas ventured to say. "Is everyone okay?"
"No," Jimmy said with a whimper. "I didn't mean to… I… I'm sorry." Jimmy took one last look at Brooke, lying still in Lucas's arms and collapsed onto the floor, still holding the gun. He shook his head briefly and then he shot himself. Lucas closed his eyes as Jimmy's body lay on the floor. He quickly turned and took Brooke to the school grounds. He could do nothing for those inside the tutor center. Just hope that everyone was okay.
