Time for possibly the most dramatic chapter in the story

Let's get to the story!

Nick's POV

Thursday, the day had finally come for me to launch my plan. I knew that what I was about to do would put me in a world of trouble but I didn't care, I just needed to get rid of Demi and that's what I was going to do. It had been hard to get everything I needed but I had gotten it and it was even harder to keep everything from my family but I succeeded in that as well. It was a little before 11:30am, just another hour and I would go to the high school. I was locked in my room even though the house was empty, my parents at work and my brothers at school. I was dressed and had drunken a few cans of Red Bull, my new favorite drink. I had planned this day for the last week and a half, ever since I had decided that the only way to get rid of Demi was to eliminate her and anyone who I saw as a threat to Selena and I. When 12:20pm came I went to the school and as I walked through the doors I entered the empty hallways. Everyone was in lunch, a perfect time to start my little plan. I headed for my locker and after I put in the combination it opened up. Inside where two guns and a bullet proof vest, my key things in this plan. I picked up the M9 pistol which was actually what they used in the military but I had simply found it in my father's study where he kept it for safety reasons. The other gun was much bigger and I had gotten it from a distant connection. I slung the AK 101 over my body with the leather strap it had, slung a small backpack over my left shoulder, and closed my locker and headed for the cafeteria. On my way there I passed a junior that I had seen around before.

"Hey dude what're you doing with those"? He asked as he backed up a few paces.

I didn't say anything, I had expected to run into a few people on my way to the cafeteria and I knew what I had to do. I raised the M9 and fired it. There was a loud noise and I knew someone would possibly hear it but I just had to get to the cafeteria. The boy dropped and I glanced at the hole in his chest and the glazed over look in his eyes and felt no remorse. I hurried to the cafeteria, quickening my pace considerably. As I approached the cafeteria doors I heard the usual chatter of the students. I looked through the small window on one of the doors and everything seemed normal, kids were talking and eating. I took a steady breath and then bust through the door. At first no one noticed me, no one ever noticed me. I took the AK and fired into the air and there were screams. People started to run for doors but I shot at everyone. Some people went down and others froze, hoping that if they stopped they wouldn't get shot at.

"NOBODY MOVE OR I'LL BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT" I yelled and it got quiet except for some sobs coming from various people.

I looked around and I saw Demi and Selena and their friends crowding around a body that I was spilling blood like someone had stabbed it repeatedly. Selena was crying and so was Demi and the other girls but the guys tried to look strong, Joe was among them. I noticed that they were crying around that blonde guy. What's his name again? Oh yeah Lucas.

"EVERYONE SIT YOUR ASSES DOWN" I called and everyone slowly sat down close to each other and I noticed Selena's group doing the same.

"Now some of you may know me, I'm Nick Grey" I said calmly, people were crying.

"And instead of having a normal day at school you're all going to be my hostages" I said and people were looking at me as if I was crazy.

"You're crazy, the cops will be here any moment" a boy said, he seemed to be holding onto a girl who was bleeding from her arm.

"I'm sure they will, but I've set up every possible defense against Grand Prairies' Finest" I said.

"You and you" I said, pointing my gun at Gabe and Joe.

"What"? Joe grunted, Gabe was trying to calm down a crying Mikayla.

"You and your jock friend run down to the computer room and get laptop numbers 1-8 and their chargers" I said and Joe scowled at me.

"Or what, you gonna shoot your own brother"? He asked and my eyes glinted.

"And all your friends" I said and Joe's smart tone ended.

"C'mon Gabe" he said and he and Gabe got up and hurried out of the cafeteria.

"Now as for the rest of you, any volunteers to help me get my ammunition"? I asked and no one moved, I had expected it.

"How about Shane and Samantha" I said and Shane looked at me and so did Samantha, the girl who hated Selena.

"Where"? Shane asked timidly, I smiled a little at my old pal.

"In the vents" I said simply and Shane and Samantha both looked confused.

I slid the backpack off my shoulder and took out two screwdrivers and pointed to two vents near the lunch lines.

"Unscrew and bring what's inside" I ordered and they hurried away from me.

I looked at Selena and Demi and was angry to find that Selena was leaning on Demi's shoulder and crying while Demi gently rubbed her hair. I saw Demi look at me and her eyes weren't what I had expected, they were fearful, they were full of hatred and anger. I looked away and looked around the cafeteria. There were five bodies on the floor and it looked like two were dead but the other three were being tended to by friends. Gabe and Joe soon came back and I had been eyeing the three teachers that had been in the cafeteria, all trying to calm down the students, mostly the freshman.

"Here" Gabe said and they both put the laptops down on a lunch table and I smirked and nodded.

I put down my M9 after glancing at everyone and five minutes later I had tapped into the eight cameras I had set up around the premises. Computers 1-4 showed the front of the school, computers 5 and 6 showed each side of the school, and computers 7 and 8 showed the back of the school just in case. As expected there were many police cars and ambulances in the front of the school and I saw people exiting the school quickly with men in black with large guns escorting them. The people were mainly the teachers who weren't in the cafeteria, the principal and vice principal, and some students who weren't at lunch. I looked away from the computers and noticed Demi and Selena talking lightly.

"Anything about me"? I asked and they looked at me and people turned their heads.

"No" Selena said and her voice was hoarse.

"Aw don't be like that Sel, this is all for us" I said and Selena looked away from me and that made me angry.

"Look at me" I yelled and she looked at me reluctantly.

"Isn't this romantic, it shows I'd do anything to be with you" I said and I just wanted her to say it, just three words.

"No it's disgusting, you're killing people Nick" Selena spat and I flinched slightly.

"But only because I love you, she would never do something so creative" I spat as I glared at Demi who was simply stroking Selena's hand.

"If you call this creative than your crazier than I thought" Selena said and I was fed up.

"WHAT'S SO DAMN SPECIAL ABOUT DEMI"? I yelled but a part of me really wanted to know.

"I love her" Selena said and those were the three words I wanted, but they weren't for me.

I grabbed the M9 and aimed and fired and people screamed and Selena was among them. Demi clutched at where the bullet had entered her, she was clutching her stomach. Demi slid onto her back gasping for air and blood was spilling all over her hands. Selena was crying hysterically and pushing Taylor S and Mikayla away as she clutched onto Demi.

Selena's POV

God please don't let this happen, please let me wake up in my bed with Demi sleeping next to me. I opened my eyes but there was still Demi bleeding and getting paler by the minute. She was trying to talk but I stopped her, knowing that she couldn't use up her air supply.

"Shh baby don't talk, everything's going to be okay" I said and Demi closed her mouth and Emily helped me exert pressure onto the wound which was just above Demi's belly button.

"Joe get some fucking napkins" Mikayla cried and Joe got up and ran for a napkin dispenser while I took off my hoodie.

I bundled up my hoodie but it wouldn't support Demi's head enough.

"Use Lucas's" Emily breathed and I looked at Lucas's pale and still body, Nick had got him in the chest.

When I didn't make an intention of moving Taylor L reached for Lucas and took off his hoodie and handed it to me. Joe came back with a bunch of napkins and Mikayla and Emily wiped Demi as good as possible but it didn't do much, the blood kept coming. Demi's head was now propped on the two bundled up hoodies and she was holding onto my hand tightly. I looked over and saw Nick eyeing the laptop monitors and kids everywhere were crying from fear and some because their friends were either wounded, dead, or MIA.

"Your brother is fucking insane Joe" Taylor S said and Joe sighed.

"He's been acting shifty for the past week or so, now I see why" he said and I focused on Demi's breathing.

"You'll be okay baby, I promise" I said and Demi coughed but nodded.

"I know you'll protect me" she said lowly and my tears started coming again.

"I will" I said and I kissed her forehead and applied more pressure to her wound.

"We need to get that motherfucker away from those guns" Taylor L muttered.

"He'll take us down before we could take ten steps" Gabe pointed out.

"One little thing though, he's a nerd with guns and there's three sporty guys right here…and Shane" Joe said and Shane tried not to look offended.

Before anyone could say anything a phone rung somewhere and Nick took out his cell phone and looked at it.

Outside of Prairie High School

Cops were everywhere, ambulances were there on hold, the SWAT team was itching to bust through the doors, and relatives of people inside were arriving by the bucket load. But there were a multiple families that were making one huge group.

"I can't believe my little girl is in there with some lunatic" Mr. Monroe was saying, he had taken off the blazer to his business suit.

"That lunatic just happens to be my son" Mr. Grey interjected and Mr. Monroe turned on him.

"And who knows how many people he's already killed besides that poor boy who was just rolled out in a body bag, one could be your other son" he spat and Mr. Grey shut his mouth.

"Or our Demi" Mrs. Monroe said and she was crying along with Mrs. Grey and Mrs. Russo.

"Patrick, Diane" a woman called and the six parents turned around to see the Swift's hurrying over.

"Andrea" Mrs. Monroe said and she hugged Taylor's mom and Mr. Monroe shook Scott's hand.

"What's going on, are they going in the building to get them"? Scott asked.

"No one's telling us anything, they say they're about to get a negotiator to speak with Nick" Theresa said.

"I cannot believe that boy is holding the entire school hostage" Andrea said as she took an offered tissue from Diane.

"He's usually a peaceful boy" Denise said.

"And yet he's shooting people as we speak" Jerry said and it was quiet.

Demi's POV

The pain was mind numbing at first but as the pressure from my friends increased the blood flow slowed considerably. Selena had left my side for five minutes and came back with a first aid kit.

"Where'd you get that"? Mikayla asked and Selena sighed.

"I begged him to give it to me" she said and I knew she meant Nick, who else had the power to give out a first aid kit at the moment.

"You're into all that medical stuff right Emily"? Taylor S asked and Emily nodded and took the kit.

"Her shirt needs to come off" Emily said and Selena looked like she was about to object.

"No one cares about Demi's goodies right now Sel, we're all just trying to stay alive" Gabe said and Selena sighed and nodded.

Emily took off Demi's shirt with some help from Selena and then she set to work.

"This is a really good kit" Emily muttered as she looked inside.

"Aren't they all the same"? Joe asked.

"Not necessarily" Emily said and she held up a small bottle of peroxide.

"This is gonna hurt Demi" Emily told me and I nodded.

Emily poured a measured amount of peroxide on my wound and it hurt like Hell.

"Shit" I yelled and people looked around at us but Nick was looking at the laptops.

"Sorry" Emily muttered and she wiped the wound and she noticed the bullet.

"I could get it out but I'm afraid she would bleed to death" Emily muttered and Selena shook her head so Emily just bandaged me up.

"How do you feel babe"? Selena asked and I smiled weakly.

"Strong as an ox" I said and she and my friends chuckled lightly and I sat up with some help from Selena.

I leaned up against a lunch table and closed my eyes slightly.

Suddenly a boy crawled over to us and his blue shirt was covered in blood.

"Emily, can you help my girlfriend" he asked and Emily looked shocked.

"What"? She asked.

"We all just saw how you fixed Demi up, we need you" the boy said and Emily glanced at us.

"Perfect medical training" Shane muttered.

"Alright, take me to her" Emily muttered and she grabbed the first aid kit and followed the boy.

About ten minutes later Emily had finished with Stacy Martin's arm and was being called over for a freshman boy who had hit in his side.

"I guess we found our doctor" I breathed and the others agreed.
