DAY TWENTY FIVE OUT OF THIRTY ONE.

January 5, 2015

THIRD DAY BACK TO SCHOOL.

12:30

ARABELLAS POV.

"I don't want to go,frick." I groan to Christian, closing my locker door. I had accidentally agreed to go somewhere with Emily.

"Then just don't go." He shrugs leaning on the locker next to me.

"Wow I would have never thought of that." I say sarcastically, sighing. "But really, I already said yes."

"Why did you say yes?"

"You really think I was listening to her?"

"Oh, you did the whole 'yeah I get it.' Thing didn't you?" Christian starts laughing, making me groan more.

"On a different note, have you seen the crime scene thing here?" Christian leans on the lunch table.

"What? No." Christian gasps, taking my hand and dragging me to a deserted side of the school.

There was yellow tape scattered around saying 'crime scene: DO NOT CROSS.' with the outline of a body in tape.

"I-I don't get it."

"Wait- god dammit I missed it, close your eyes!" Nick comes out but quickly goes back into the classroom.

"What?" I close my eyes and turn around.

"Okay we're good." I hear Nick say and I open my eyes, seeing Christian running back you the lunch room.

Nick was lying on the ground, red stains on his white shirt. He was holding a sign that said 'I'm Dying to go to the dance with you.'

"I hate you oh my god." I laugh, crouching under the tape and helping him up.

"Will you?"

"Well, I mean, you aren't Shawn Mendes, but you're the closest I can get. So I guess."  I sigh, Nick cheering and hugging me.

"Yay! I have a date! Let alone my sixth grade crush!" He cheers and stops quickly, kissing my forehead.

"Dude, I'm your girlfriend, who else are you going to go with?" He shrugs, then grabs my hand and starts walking back to the lunch room.

"Nick?" He turns back around with a smile on his face, but it soon falls into a straight line when he looks behind me. I try to turn around, but Nick turns me back towards him.

"Stay right here, don't move." Nick makes me look into his beautiful eyes, kisses my forehead, then disappears behind me.

"Nick?" we were in the normal part of school now, and he had just ran back towards the deserted part.

"Arabella?" I see Mike and Jack jump, trying to find me. I wave my hand at them, Mike sighing and running towards me.

"Where's Nick?" Jack asked as soon as they reach me. I look back to the place where Nick disappeared to.

"Crap." He mumbles and runs after him leaving Mike and I by ourselves. Mike looks behind me and widens his eyes, covering my eyes and picking me up.

"Michael, there is no need to hit on me. I have a boyfriend, and speaking of boyfriend, what's going on with mine.

"We have to leave, now." He uncovers my eyes but makes me look forward. He runs down a staircase, trying to leave as quick as possible. He pushes out the door, receiving many weird glances.

"Please stay in here, I'll be right back. Lock the doors. Don't let anyone in, take my keys and drive away if anyone tries to do anything." Michael drops me in his car and runs back into the school. He's acting like I'm two. So I sit in his car for at least twenty minutes before Jack runs to the car, pounding harshly on the car window.

"Sorry, I'm not supposed to let people I don't know in."

"Arabella Mitchell, It is not the time, unlock the doors or I'm breaking the window." His voice was shaky, but stern and that scared me. From what I have learned, Jack was never scared or mean, he was always laid back.

"Oh my god what happened?" screams are heard from the school, and I can't hear anything besides a high pitch ringing. Jack's mouth starts moving and I can't hear anything, but from what I have read, it is not good. Jack said that we were in trouble, big trouble.

Our school was now a war zone.

"Where's Nick?" I say when I see Michael running out, with no Nick in sight. I also learned I got my hearing back when I hear more screams.

"Arabella." Jack warns, but it's too late, I'm running towards the school.

"Arabella no!" Michael grabs my waist and pulls me back, screaming that I can't go in there. I try to wiggle from his grasp, but he's too strong. That is, until I spot Nick running out of the school, that makes me kick Mike really hard in the leg and run towards Nick.

"Are you okay? Oh my god I was so worried-"

"I shouldn't be the one you're worried about." He looks back at the school, making me confused.

"Oh my god, where are they?" I start looking around for Emily and Christian, finding a crying Emily in the crowd.

"Em!" I unlatch myself from Nick, and run to Emily. The look on her face brings bad news. Christian is still in there.

So I sprint into the school before anyone could stop me. I needed to find Christian, he was my bestfriend. I couldn't lose him.

"Bella!" Nick screams and follows me up the stairs, pushing people out of the way.

"I need to find Christian." I feel tears brim in my eyes, and I push past more people.

"Christian!" the blonde turns towards me, running towards me. How many times am I going to run today?

"Oh my god I thought you were dead."

"You need to leave. Arabella, please tell Emily I'm okay and I love h-" he was cut off by himself falling to the ground.

I start screaming and Nick grabs me, besides my protests, running downstairs.

"Arabella if you pull another stupid fucking stunt like that I swear to god." He sighs shakily as he sets me in the backseat of Mike's car.

"What Nick? My bestfriend just got fucking shot an- and," I can't continue, as I break down crying. Nick tries to hug me, but I push him away.

"I want Christian." I sniff, curling up so my back was towards him.

"Nick." Jack sounds scared, and I look up to see him crying. Jack never cries. His plead is drowned out by the car door slamming. Nick went to go get him. I start crying even harder, Mike sighing and crawling into the back seat. He hugs me until I hear the car door open and somebody's gasp, I can't tell who's. Mike quickly goes back to the front and Nick throws a bloody Christian in next to me.

"Oh my god." Mike starts speeding away from the school, almost hitting the police man that was running around.

I don't remember anything else.
