Brooke had laid her head on Lucas' shoulder and she was playing with her sleeve whilst watching the cold floor. She had cry. The dried tears were still visible under her bloodshot eyes. Her boyfriend squeezed her shoulders. "What are you thinking about, pretty girl?"

She sighed and answered without even looking at him. "I'm thinking about organizing a meeting activity for all the students. You know—give them a chance to get to know each other" she said, still looking down. She preferred to avoid his shiny baby blues because she knew if she looked at him again she would start to cry. He sighed and shook his head. "You still thinking about that" he asked. "What else!? He's right you know…"

"Brooke, you are a really nice president. School wouldn't be the same without you!" he said patting her shoulder. His blood froze when he heard the cold voice behind him. "You two aren't going to end up together!", Jimmy snapped.

Haley rolled her eyes and looked up at the boy handing the gun. "What are you talking about Jim, they are in love with each other. It's not like its going to change!"

Jimmy let out a laugh—a cold laugh. "But you heard, just like me, Brooke's amazing time capsule. Didn't you say you were going to be married to Mouth!" he said, staring meanly at Brooke.

"Lucas and I weren't together by that time…" she said squeezing Lucas' hand. Jimmy stared at the green board. "Whatever…guys like you can get away with it! Right Hales? You know, about Nathan…"

She started boiling. "Nathan and I were having problems…" she said, her voice shaking. Jimmy looked disgust. "So that's it! You can all be forgiven for what you've done or said but I can't!" he yelled. Rachel who had stayed silent for a while, finally decided to speak up.

"Well, WE didn't say that the stoners were medicated and that the jocks would be at there peak at 17 and then their cheerleader girlfriend would be fat and lonely! That's probably why…". Haley bit her bottom lip.

"Even if it hurts to say it, Rachel's right! You attacked everyone in your capsule!" she said, her voice still trembling. Jimmy felt a single tear roll underneath his eye. "I…I was in a bad situation with the world too…"

Brooke felt terribly bad for Jimmy. "But that doesn't change what you did…" she said. Jimmy started crying harder now. "That's easy for you! All of you! Next year, you're all going to college and you will forget about all of this but what about me! You thought about that?"

Haley stared at the floor. "Maybe you should have thought about that before saying all of those things!". Jimmy tried to calm himself. "Don't you remember that the tapes were supposed to be opened in fifty years? Of course you don't…you weren't even there, were you?"

"But you should have known that some people would see them one day…" Lucas pointed. Jimmy wiped his nose. "Yeah, look who's talking! You said nice things too, Scott! Did you brother know you were planning on bringing your father down?"

Brooke defended her boyfriend on that point. "You don't even know what Dan is capable of…"

"Maybe not but you are all blaming me but none of you are saints either…" Jimmy said. Rachel lowered her head. "But we didn't fire any bullet…"

Peyton and Nathan were slowly dragging the halls. They weren't making any noise. Just walking slowly and hiding behind lockers and doors at each sound that could be suspect.

"The least we can say is that you were pretty mad at Haley when you recorded that message!" she chuckled. Nathan grinned. "Yeah but, you know, she had just leave me after I told her it would be over if she left…"

Peyton stayed there—mouth wide opened. "And she left anyways?!?", she asked shocked. Nathan let out a small laugh. "I didn't mean it. I guess I just didn't want her to go!"

Peyton bit her bottom lip. "Sorry…", she comforted. Nathan smiled. "No, it's okay! She's back now! That's all that matters. And besides…you were just talking about sex and that Jake guy weren't you?" he chuckled.

Peyton hit him on the shoulder. For a moment, Nathan forgot about the entire shooting thing and laughed out loud. A huge noise tore him out of his joyful state and brought him back to reality. His wife and his brother were trapped by some crazy psycho. Lucas? He haven't been thinking about his brother at all. God I can't loose him! Haley either. I got to be serious for their sake. The brunette guy looked back at Peyton.

"You know Peyt; I think I'll always have feelings for you…"

"Nathan!!"

"…BUT, they are tiny bits compared to the way I feel about Haley. Its kind of the first time I really AM in love!"

--

"Look at you…you are all in love!" Jimmy said. Rachel let out a huge laugh. "So what!? All you needed was to move your ass and find yourself a girlfriend!"

Jimmy looked down at his shoes. "Coming from you, it seems like an easy thing!" he said. Haley took this one at her advantage. "Well it is!"

Then another awkward silence took place in the room as the bell ring could be heard. "You hear that? It's the bell! We've been here for an hour!", Lucas pointed out.

Brooke sighed. "Seemed longer to me!". Rachel looked at her. "Yeah, me too!"

Keith couldn't help but think about what Karen said earlier. "It's my fault". He couldn't figure why Karen would say such a thing. He rubbed her back. "Why did you say it was your fault, earlier?"

"Mom, I don't want to go to school this morning. I don't feel good! I just have a bad feeling. I think I should stay!" Lucas yelled from his bed. Karen sat on his bedside and touched his forehead. "You are perfectly fine and feelings don't stop people from living their lives but no diploma does…I want you to have the life you want and you need to go to school to make it work. You are going to school! no buts, no if, you are getting your ass on that bus!", "but..." Karen cut him up, "Lucas Eugene Scott, don't make me say it twice, you are going to school or trust me your bad feeling will be the least of your problem!". The kid groaned before burrying his face in the pillow.

"You couldn't know!" Keith comforted. Karen sighed and tears rolled down her cheeks as she started sobbing. "He left frustrated…I…I didn't even…had the chance…t…to say good-bye!" she sobbed. Keith rubbed her back. "You're not gonna have to! I'll never let anything happen to our son!"

--

"Jimmy, I think you should just turn yourself in! They are not going to hurt you! I'll even go with you!" Rachel said in a still calm voice. Jimmy took sight at the ground. "I can't…it's never going to stop!" he said.

Lucas started to get pissed. Hey, I have a mom and an uncle out there. Could this childish thing end anytime soon? He took what was left of him to stand up and fight back. "What were you waiting for? You shot in the school!"

Jimmy pointed his gun at him. "Sit down with the others!" he said.

"No! You are just going to calm down and hand me the gun. After that, we can all go outside. You'll see. It will be okay if we stick together!"

Jimmy kept pointing the gun at Lucas' face. "NO!! I just…can't! Now you sit down with the others or I…I…"

Lucas stared at him in the eyes. "Do it Jim! Shoot me if you dare…But just know that you'll carry that image of when you murdered me for the rest of your life…" Lucas said in a harsh and cold tone nobody ever knew of him.

"That's a risk I'm willing to take…"

Boo-woo! Another cliff. Please tell me you like it! (I won't blame you if you don't…) I know it's long to start but the countdown for the big action is REEEAAAALLLYYYY short so stay tuned for more.

Next on my fic: Nathan and Peyton get a good clue but can they make it before it's too late? Also, will Lucas calm down (I seriously doubt this)? Will you be there reading?

I hope so! Thanks for reading and for leaving reviews.
