Michael's POV

My heart pounded out of my head, everything moving in slow motion. Xavier's index finger moved down the the trigger, his eye twitched and I knew in seconds my girlfriend was gonna be... gone.

I ran. Hearing the black box bang against the makeshift stage, I ran onto the field, picking up the gun Trevor had dropped. Xavier looked behind me and I knew in seconds he'd pull the trigger on Jasmine. Quickly I pressed down, gunshots blasted before I could even raise it to aim at Xavier. I hit him in the ankle, the back, and the head. A gruesome sight. Screams of terror erupted from the crowd, i could hear the cries of children who witnessed the entire thing. The gun fell from Xavier's hand, blood was leaking out of him in three different places. Jasmine ran up to me, hugging me tight. Her breath rising and falling fast. People in the audience began to stand from the ground, mums were turning children around to not see the body, and the faculty were unsure of what to say now. A few women began to approach the body, wrapping up the bullet wounds, even though deep down we all knew he was already dead.

In seconds, I felt arms grabbing behind me. I turned around to see two big security guards beginning to pull at me, and in the distance a police siren sounded closer and closer.

"What, what, are you doing?" Jasmine asked grabbing tighter onto my arm. "Miss, I need you to let go." The tall man bellowed and she shook her head, gripping tighter. I could feel her getting aggressive. "Don't tell me to let go! He didn't do shit, do you not just see him save my damn life!"

In the corner of my eye, I saw the principal jogging up to the confuffle. "Boys, let him go. Can we let the police deal with this, please?" He spoke calmly, placing a hand on the mans shoulders which he quickly jerked off. "You just witnessed a murder!" He exclaimed and Jasmine rolled her eyes. "Y'all don't seem to give a shit when we die. Take your whiney asses the fuck out of here, it's a graduation, y'all don't even have permits, chill." Jasmine cussed them out, waving her brown hand in their face. God am I lucky to have her.

The principal got into the mic, and said something telling everyone to enter the gym, initiating a lock down, but those who wanted to leave could leave at their own risks. Jasmine held my hand tight, slowly walking across the field into the gym doors. We sat along the gym walls, the doors were still open as people were still entering.

We sat in silence, still in awe of what was going on. I had so many questions for her. Was Xavier another ex-boyfriend?

Jasmine's POV

After another few minutes the police and paramedics began to wander in, and the principal, and other faculty spoke to some of them. I tried to overhear.

".... yes, there was a young lady graduating today. her boyfriend was planning a proposal, he told the crowd and everything.."

"who fired the first bullet?"

"..these two young men were chasing each other. screaming stuff like 'I was wrong, don't do it, wait' excreta and then one fired a bullet, probably to stop the other one. and he missed, so he booked it and jumped the fence and into the woods. the other one ran up to jasmine and put the gun to her temple."

"..... do you know the relationship between the three.."

"..no, but it was clear they were planning a murder."

"so, the young man who got shot. who shot him."

"jasmine's boyfriend, michael. he used the dropped g-"

"michael, who?"

"..m-michael clifford. he was a former student."

I saw the two officers whisper to each other and took out a device, that looked a little like a phone and began typing. I suddenly remembered.. Michael's history, the assult of his father, his drug abuse.

There gonna lock him up.

I immediately shook the drowsy boy, and he began stirring awake. "Michael, Michael. We have to go, we have to go right now."

"Why?"

"The police are-"

"Michael Clifford.." a deep voice bellowed from above us.

"...you are under arrest for first degree murder.."

hey hey hey

so before I get attacked yes I'm aware that technically michael wouldn't be charged with murder. it wasn't self defence but he was protecting a weaker victim. it was justifiable homicide which in most cases you can't be charged with.

if he had to be charged I believe it would be voluntary manslaughter

but because Michael had a history of abusing pain killers, overdose, depression, suicidal tendencies, and all that shit the police knew he was aggressive and had a mental disorder

because of that he could plea "not guilty by reason of insanity"or "guilty but mentally ill"

and if that's accepted instead of getting convicted, he'd just be taken to a mental hospital/psychiatric ward or facility for a little bit.

i only said first degree cause it still falls under the category of self defence and it just flows better leave me alone

and he also attacked his father so they thought he was dangerous

anyways no one gives a shit but like whenever i write something that's not pERFECTLY ACCURATE i feel like I'm gonna get attacked so here
