TW: school sh***ing, blood.
NATHAN ROYAL SCOTT HAS NEVER BEEN THIS TERRIFIED IN HIS WHOLE SEVENTEEN YEARS OF LIVING ON THIS EARTH. And the cause of this disastrous thought? A gunshot had apparently rung out across Tree High at the earliest hours of the day, indicating a shooter was on the lose. Once the words fell from Brooke Davis' lips, the basketball player started rushing towards the school doors with one person in mind. Lola. He couldn't think of anything else, afraid something bad might've happened to her in the small time it took for everything to happen.
Someone suddenly throws their body on top of his, knocking him against the pavement. "Get off me, man!" Nathan shoved him away, quickly getting up from the ground. "Lola's in there!" He didn't say anything else, immediately rushing away and into the double doors.
His heart was pounding loudly against his ribcage, but he ignored it, continuing along the path of the long hallway where tons of backpacks littered the dirty floor. He knew Lola had been in the computer room and he prayed she still was. But first, he needed a weapon.
His feet made it inside the coach's office where he grabbed the bat from where it laid inside the big bowl. It brought a sort of comfort for him as it moved around his fingers. Whoever did this was going to pay, he didn't give two shits who the person was.
"You gotta plan?" Lucas asked incredulously, staring at his brother as if he had two heads as he walks into the room in a slow pace.
"Yeah. I'm gonna make my way to the computer room where Lola was last seen and I'm gonna get her the hell out of here." Nathan watched the blonde shut the door, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "What're you doing?"
Lucas shook his head, "Your plan sucks. We should just turn around and let the police handle this."
"The police are gonna wait and game plan, they always do that. Listen, I know this is stupid, but what if something happens to Lola? Can you live with that? Because I sure as hell can't."
