I was getting irritated now. Why did Frank feel like he needs to do this? Its a little bit drastic for a few silly comments Kim and I may have mentioned maybe once or twice. Everyone gets bullied but is this truly the only way he saw out of it?
Tears that I fought so hard to keep in finally escaped and rolled down my cheeks. He was punching Julie all because she was trying to keep our friend alive. She was struggling to breathe but I didn't know what I could do to get us out of this horrific situation as quickly but as safely as possible. I needed to do something to save us all. Poor Julie couldn't take much more of this and neither could I. I don't know how Kim is doing but I hope she can hold on just a little bit longer until we get her some help.
"Stop it Frank this has got to end" I screamed, throwing myself at the maniac. "Run Julie Run!" We wrestled on the ground, Frank throwing a few punches, me kicking and kneeing him as hard as I could.
I watched as Julie left the room. She never looked back. Good. I don't think I could stand it if I saw her face right now.
Frank pinned me on my back when I was distracted and put his face frightening close to mine. I could smell something foul in the breath. Was he drunk? "This has nothing to do with you, you interfering cow!" he snarled at me.
I spat in his face "Kim was right you are an idiot, a drunk idiot at that! This has everything to do with me! After all you are keeping us all hostage in here. You've shot my friend, physically punched Julie who is asthmatic"
He stood up brandishing the gun, holding it against my forehead "Maybe I should shoot you right here and now save us all the agony."
I gulped. Maybe its time I shut up. I am making it worse. Frank is able to do anything he has already proved it many times today.
"Oh what's the matter? Has a cat got your tongue?" He spun the gun around in his fingers again. "Donna why did you get involved I had no problem with you before today. The only one I wanted to hurt was Kim. Everyone else is collatoral damage.
I shrugged my shoulders. I am not Julie. If I was I would do the smart thing and keep quiet but I am me and I don't act like that. "You've made us all suffer and for what? A few stupid comments? Frank wake up! Everyone in this room has been bullied or been spoken about behind their back. We all hear things we don't like but we don't go around shooting innocent people"
He grabbed me by my neck squeezing it so tight now I was struggling to breathe. In my panic I was opening and closing my hands attempting to get him off me, as if I could reach him. He hurled me at the wall with all his strength. I didn't feel the pain as my head hit the wall but I heard it and it sounded sickening. "She isn't innocent, not today. She deserves everything she is going to get"
"Unlike you Frank?You have shot some people, you have damaged school property you are going to be arrested once this is finally over. Why don't you let us all go?" I asked. I felt sick, he was making me sick. I wasn't going to admit it though all I want to
do is get myself and Kim out of here alive.
He was making it hard though. He was really angry now. He was going off on one ranting and raving about words and things but I gave up trying to understand where he was coming from. Pacing up and down every so often reminding us that he still has that gun. He made it clear he didn't care who he hurt and he wasn't bothered about the inevitable consequences that he has brought upon himself. So I gave up listening. Most of it he was moaning about Kim and Jack or Jack and Kim anyway.
"Frank!" The door burst open and in hurtled a blue line.
I almost cried in relief as Jack knocked Frank to the ground. Frank still had the gun though. It looked like it was super glued to his hand or something, unmovable. We needed to get it away from him. Jack thought the same and was trying his best to disarm his enemy.
"I hate you for what you have done to my girl" Jack said as he kicked Frank in the face. I didn't want Jack to stop attacking Frank, is that wrong?
Not much longer, I said to myself. Jack is going to save us. Jack is going to take him down and teach him a lesson for hurting all of us.
Frank was wrestling Jack on the ground now but Jack put up more of a fight then I could.
I crawled over to where Kim was sitting, leaning against the wall in a pool of her own blood. Thankfully she was breathing, it was very shallow and her pulse was weak but she was still here with us.
"Jack's here now It's going to be okay Kim" I promised tying her beautiful blonde hair up out of her sweaty face. "Your boyfriend is going to do that saving the day thing he does"
"Donna watch out!" Jack shouted.
I turned to see a bullet inches away from me.
