I watched Milton leave with Julie. As I did there was nothing I wished for more than being able to leave with them. It seemed like the safest idea would be to follow them but I am not that smart. Jack is my mate and he needs me right now. I have to follow him, no matter what.
"Come on" Jack moaned dragging me towards the library by my shoulder. "i need to see if Kim is all right"
Julie said Kim was...dead. Julie herself was covered in a lot of blood not just a tiny bit but a lot. How long can a person survive without that much blood? Mind you I don't think it matters what I say to Jack he won't believe me or trust me until he sees Kim for himself. Why does he want me to go with him? Maybe to stop him. If he looses control he needs someone to stop him. I am the only one who has a chance at calming him except for Kim but she might not be able to help.
"Jerry get a move on!" Jack moaned as he reached the top of the stairs for the library. "i can see him, he's holding Donna by her neck."
He turned to look at me "no matter what we have to get the girls out, whatever it takes"
I nodded, my throat dried out. What if we get hurt in the process? What if Frank shoots us? What if one of us dies?
"I'm going in he's just thrown Donna against the wall"
Jack didn't wait for my reply. He threw open the door and charged in before I could even blink "Frank!"
I sighed and ran after him. He was fighting with Frank on the ground. "i hate you for what you've done to my girl!"
Frank laughed "she's not anyone's any more" he just about whispered just so Jack could hear. He forced Jack onto his back on the ground.
I didn't know what to do my mate was fighting literally to defend our girls who were terrified and gravely injured.
Donna crawled over to Kim. I went over too, to see if I could help her. There is...so much blood. I felt sick but Donna was dealing better than I was.
"Jack's here now it's gonna be okay" Donna promised as she tied Kim's hair up. She pushed the loose bits of hair behind Kim's ears. "He's gonna do that saving the day thing he does"
Kim was barely breathing, We needed to get her out of here now.
Frank jumped to his feet and shot at us.
"Donna watch out!" Jack shouted.
I leapt in the way of the bullet that hurtled towards her a second before it could have hit, pushing Donna away from the bullet. Well Jack did say protect the girls whatever it takes. And Donna is not harmed by the bullet.
"Jerry!" she cried as I fell back with the force of the bullet. Man taking a bullet hurts like hell. I watched the blood pour out of my chest as felt my life slipping away.
Donna grabbed my shirt and shook me gently. "Why did you do that you brave stupid dummy!" She cried. She looked beautiful when she cries. She once told me she hates crying because she goes red and puffy but to me she is always beautiful. I never told her that.
I kept my eyes on Donna's. I didn't want to think of anything else.
"Jerry did you hear me that was very stupid but very brave! Jerry I love you"
I couldn't reply as I took my last breath. My last ever memory was Donna's beautiful face. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Donna
Jerry slipped away in my arms. I couldn't stop crying.
The police burst in and wrestled Frank to the ground.
Jack appeared at my shoulder "Donna he's gone"
I looked up at him and shook my head "He can't be"
"Donna we have to go with Kim" Jack said.
I remembered then, my best friend had been shot too. She needs to go to the hospital.
Jack helped me to my feet. He put his arm around my shoulders " It's over" he said as we followed the police out of school. One of them held Kim in his arms.
I noticed Jack was leaning on me. "Jack are you hurt anywhere else?"
"No but he's killed my best friend, shot my girlfriend and kept you and Julie hostage I hope he rots for what he has done." he replied as the police handed Kim over to the paramedics.
"Jack go with Kim" I said "i will go with Milton and Julie to the hospital Kim needs you"
He hugged me "i am sorry Donna for what happened"
"Me too" I said in almost a whisper, tears rolling down my cheeks.
