~Hope~

It had been about 15 minutes since the first two shots had gone off. Sophie and I, along with the rest of our class had been ordered to stay seated and quiet at the back of the room. This way, whomever had the gun couldn't see us from the window of the door.

The only thing I could think about was whether or not Harry was safe. I would be more than destroyed if anything happened to him.

It had been strangely quiet for a while. The only sounds we could hear was the heavy breathing and soft whimpers from the students around us. What the hell was happening??

**BANG**BANG**

Two more shots rang out, sounding a lot closer than the last two had, causing me to grasp Sophie's arm tightly.

"Ouch!" She whisper yelled, causing me to look at her.

"Soph... I need to find Harry." I whispered. I didn't know if it was smart to leave the class room, but I needed to.

"Hope!! Are you CRAZY!" she spoke quietly, but loud enough to get stares from everyone in the room. All I did was look at her. Tears welling up in my baby blue eyes.

"Look, he could be hurt, Soph. And if he is, I need to help him." I said calmly, causing the people who were listening to gasp.

I knew it would be stupid to leave the safety of the class room, but with no other way out, If the shooter made his way in here... We would be dead. I let go of Sophie's arm and stood slowly, causing everyone else to look at me. Sophie looked around, then back at me, then to the door. Then she stood with me.

"I'm not gonna let my best friend do something dangerous without me. I'm coming with you." She whispered. I shot her a small smile and slowly walked to the door.

"You two can't leave this room!!" The teacher hissed, causing Sophie and I to send him a glare. "You could get killed. I am not having that on my watch!" He said softly. I looked at him showing no emotion.

"Listen, I have to find someone before they get hurt. I can't sit here in a room with no exit, just waiting for this asshole to blow my brains out, so we are leaving!" I hissed back. A shocked expression plastered onto his face, as I slowly opened the door.

Looking cautiously out the door to see if anyone was coming, I pulled Sophie across the hall. Suddenly we heard foot steps coming down the stairs, and screams as 3 boys and a girl came flying out of the staircase. Before the last person left the stairs, another shot rang out.

**BANG**

I gasped as I saw the boy's body fall to the floor. He had been shot in the shoulder, causing him to scream out in pain. I looked at him as he saw us. As soon as he mouthed the word 'Run' I grabbed Sophie's hand, and we ran towards Harry's classroom.

As we reached the door, I glanced through the window. Several people were cowering behind tool shelves, while several others laid face down in pools of their own blood. My mouth fell open as I opened the door, pulling Sophie inside with me. 

I looked around the room til a saw Harry's friend, Niall, hiding behind the buzz saw. I ran to him as fast as I could.

"Niall!!! Oh My God!!! You're ok!!! Where is Harry?! And Zayn??!!!" I cried, watching him run his hand through his short blonde hair.
