It was so quiet in the janitor's closet, the sounds of gunfire having quieted down. It was then that Beca decided they needed to move if they wanted to get out of the school and to safety.
"We have to move." Beca says softly nudging Aubrey to catch her attention, while also holding Chloe close to her.
Aubrey's eyes widen as she looks over at Beca. "Are you insane? There is someone going around the school and shooting people."
"You think I don't know that?" Beca growls out, tightening her arms around Chloe. "It's not safe here."
Chloe looks up at her girlfriend before looking over at Aubrey. "Aubs she's right, if we stay here the shooter could find us."
Before anymore can be said the door to the janitor's closet opens causing Beca to spin around and push Chloe and Aubrey behind her.
"Tommy?" she asks quietly upon seeing the boy her and Stacie knew in elementary and middle school.
The teen glares at Beca as he notices her protecting two other students. "Rebecca."
"It's Beca." the DJ says calmly as she slowly edges forward bringing Chloe and Aubrey with her.
Tommy tenses up and grips the gun tighter, his eyes locked on Beca's steel blue. "Don't test me." he growls out aiming the gun at her.
Aubrey and Chloe try to keep from crying out as they glue themselves to Beca's back, moving when the DJ moves.
"This is between you and I, so Tommy I'm going to ask only once that you let them leave." Beca says calmly, even though on the inside she is a complete and total mess.
Tommy's glare intensifies before he looks over at Chloe and Aubrey. "What you don't want them to end up like you and Stacie?"
"What did you do to Stacie!?" Aubrey cries out in alarm only to go quiet when Chloe grips her hand.
Smirking the dark haired teen waves his gun. "I shot her." he says before pointing the gun back at Beca. "And now I'm going to shoot you."
Beca pushes her hands into Chloe and Aubrey's stomachs hoping the catch her signal before she rushes forward.
"Chlo, we have to run." Aubrey whispers grabbing her best friend's hand.
Both girls take off toward the front of the school just as a loud popping noise echoes off the walls, tears immediately fill Chloe's eyes as she realizes Beca's been shot.
"Come on. Not much further." Aubrey promises as they keep moving, just as they reach the doors a ton of men and women in SWAT uniforms rush through the door followed by police officers.
A female officer moves toward them seeing how frightened they are, she then signals to the rest of the men to move on and check the school.
"Are either of you hurt?" she asks them softly as she places a hand behind Chloe.
Chloe stays silent as fear for her girlfriend races through her body.
"Tommy, he's the shooter. He um we think he shot our friend Beca, she um she distracted him so we could get away." the taller of the two girls manages to say as tears trail down her cheeks. "I think he came back down the stairs when he couldn't find her, and that's when he found us in the janitor's closet."
"Alright, everything is going to be okay. Let's get you two outside." the officer says softly as she leads them to the front doors.

"Come on Stace, you gotta stay with us." Jesse whispers to the brunette as he shifts her in his arms, having switched places with Luke so the blonde can get ahold of Aubrey.
Stacie takes a deep breath as she looks up at him. "Bree."
"Let's worry about you for now." the brunette male says instead as he looks over at Luke.
Benji and Donald sit off to the side texting their respective girlfriends to let them know what's happening.
"Jess, tell, tell Bree that I love her." Stacie barely manages to say the words loud enough for Jesse to hear her before she goes limp in his arms.
"No! No! You don't get to do this to us Stacie!"
Luke rushes over and puts his phone down as they lay Stacie flat down on the ground. "There's no pulse." he yells as he tries his best to do CPR just as the doors to the locker room are knocked in and several officers appear.
What everybody failed to notice was that Luke's phone was in the middle of a call. A call to Aubrey, the blonde was able to hear everything.
"Allen we need to get her outside and to an ambulance." Robin says turning to his partner.
Nodding his head Allen lifts Stacie off the ground, "Radio out for a gurney."
Jesse, Luke, Donald, and Benji are quick to follow the officers as they leave the locker room, heading for the front doors. On the way they bump into Beca who is limping between two officers.
"Becs!" Jesse calls out worriedly as he looks at his best friend, sure they had dated for about a year but they realized not soon after that they weren't meant to be.
Beca gives him a pained smile. "Jess, is that Stacie?" she asks trying to get a glimpse of the the brunette.
"Yeah, we lost her for a few minutes but we were able to get a faint heartbeat after Luke did CPR." the dark haired teen says as he takes the place of one of the officers holding Beca up. "What happened to you?"
"Tommy shot me in the leg, before he could shoot me again the police showed up and took him down." the brunette responds as she looks around them when they get out of the doors, there were two gurneys waiting on them.
Both girls are quickly put on the gurneys and rushed toward waiting ambulances, Beca is immediately joined by Chloe.
"Oh my god! Beca!" the redhead yells out as soon as she reaches her girlfriend.
A soft yet sad smile crosses Beca's lips, "I'm fine Chlo, Stace on the other hand isn't." her eyes travel to where the taller brunette is being lifted into an ambulance.
Chloe's eyes follow Beca's just in time to see a paramedic trying to revive Stacie. "Oh no." she whispers as tears fill her eyes.
"Ma'am we need to get you to the hospital now." a paramedic says looking at Beca.
Nodding the petite DJ allows herself to be put in the back of an ambulance, as soon as the doors close both ambulances take off.
Luke already had his arms wrapped around his sister, "Let's get to the hospital." he says loud enough for the Treble's and Bella's to hear.
In an instant they are running to their cars worried about their friends.
