Niall's hand rests on my thigh and I blush, conidering that my mom is right across from us. We are curently at panera for lunch. We wanted to kill time before Mckenna and Miles get out of school. We all order drinks and sit quietly. I hear a phone ringing and know it's my mom's phone. She digs in her purse and pulls it out.
"It's from Miles' school." She mumbles. She slides the answer button and puts it to her ear. She listens and then she gasps. She puts her hand up to her mouth. I look at Niall and he shrugs. She starts to cry and mumbles incoherent words.
"Mom what's wrong? What?" I put my hand on her arm but she just stands up and starts to walk away while crying hysterically. I stand up with Niall and catch up to her. I put my hand on her shoulder and say, "What is it?". She turns to Niall and I and says unevenly,
"There was a shooting at the school."
And that's when everything changed.
