Most of all

Chapter 4 ( Cam )

Covering my ears I look over at Anne and see her drop on the ground.

" Anne , are you ok" I ask.

" Yea I think I just need water" she says while crawling towards me.

" ok I'll get you some" I whisper.

I walk up to my bag to get water for Anne.

" Sit back down Cam" yells Mr. Carl.

" I'm just getting water" I yell back.

" Shut the fuck up" Eve screams.

I go back to Anne and handed her the water. I sit down and look deeply into her beautiful eyes.

" Are you sure you're ok Anne?" I say.

" Yes" she says with a smile on her face.

I lean my head back on the wall and I close my eyes. The only thought on my mind right now is Anne. Her smile floods my brain.

" Cam why do you even care if I'm ok we haven't talked in awhile ?" She asks.

I open my eyes and turn my head facing her.

" I care because you are a human and we all need a little help and structure when we're feeling down. So if you need to talk I'm always open." I say.

I really wanted to say I care because I love her but I don't want her to know that. I repositioned myself and closed my eyes once again.

" Are you ok?" She says

" Well I've just been having some problems at home lately which is stressing me out but otherwise I'm fine. Thank you for asking" I say without opening my eyes.

" I'm sorry to hear that and I'm always open too" she says.

" ok" I say.

Once again I would've told her that I love her but not yet. I have to use short answers so it doesn't seem like I do.

My thoughts drift off. I'm half asleep. I don't know how I can sleep when there's a school shooting. My half asleep turns into an awake when I hear running down the hallway. As it got closer I got 10x more nervous.

All of a sudden it stops and blended whispering comes from the doorknob. I can't make up what he's whispering. But I can tell it's a male. The whispering continues then banging starts. He's starts yelling, it's Alex Smith. The redhead quarterback from my football team last year.

Mr. Carl let's him in and tears are pouring down his face. I've never seen him cry before, he was always tough.

" Mr . Carl, why isn't he running anymore" Anne says almost about to cry.

I felt so bad for her I just wanted to giver her a hug and tell her it's going to be ok. Mr. Carl look under the door then looks back up at us in shock. He sits back in the corner.

" shhhhh he's right at the door" Mr. Carl whispered the quietest I've ever heard someone whisper before.

The man started knocking lightly on the door.

" I know you're in there , let me in" the shooter says weirdly.

I look over at Anne and she's staring at the door shaking. She looks at me but I don't look away. I slowly move my hand closer to hers and she just grabbed it.
