Time is an illusion.

"Let's walk-" Brooklyn said randomly. I look up at her and she smiled weakly. "Okay..." I said.
We walked all over campus and then left campus to go downtown, and we walked down an alley.
We were taking a shot cut to a little coffee shop down the way. Don't ask me, it was Brooklyn's idea.
Cautiously stepping over broken glass, I glanced up at Brooklyn. She was dressed really nicely today. Just a side note. Nothing worth mentioning or taking anything from, of course...
I mean, it's not like I like like her or anything! I mean,, whatever. I don't like her in a gay way, she's my friend, who I think looks nice all the time and who I go to get coffee with every ten seconds, also my dorm-mate and stuff, and the only person I trust and...
Yeah, I'm bad at defending myself.
I don't know, it's just, silly. And the rhythm of her footsteps were sort of pulling me into a trance.
Our heads snapped up as footsteps echoed in the distance. A gunshot fired and I tensed up. At least none of us got hurt- oh shit!
Brooklyn is holding her hand to her stomach and coughing. The pain making her shake slightly.
"Jesus Chr-" I began as the stranger approaches. I pick Brooklyn up and run as fast as I can while holding a grown person in my arms.
Brooklyn coughed some more and I tried carrying her faster.
"Stay with me, stay with me," I stuttered and pulled her along. This is happening so fast, too fast. I can't loose another person. Jeez she was kinda heavy. Not like I'm one to judge, I probably weigh 50 more pounds than her. Anyways, I pulled her along.
"Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god." I repeated over and over. "We just met, school hasn't even started, what the hell is happening, oh my god." I keep rambling.
She looks up at me and then passes out. "Save your energy... save your energy." I say. We need to get to the nurse quick. Or call an ambulance. I decide to quickly run her to the nurse and on the way, call an ambulance. I didn't bring my phone with me, so I'm currently reaching in her pocket to grab her phone. I turn it on and call 911. "911 what's your emergenc-"
"Help help help... my friend Brooklyn just got shot by this person please help oh my god-"
"Help is on the way."
"Thank you thank you thank you." I muttered. I heard the phone click off and and I drag her as fast as I can.
The only sound that I could hear was my heavy breath ringing in my ears.
I shift positions slightly and carry her bridal style, which was both easier and harder... if that makes sense. It doesn't.
I hear sirens and I look up in hope, seeing an ambulance. "Thank you thank you." I say to myself as I carry her onto the ambulance.
I hope on the ambulance with her as they get her on a stretcher.
