Hi, I'm Eva Gordon. But you already know that from what happened to me. Incase you dont remember I'll give you a short recap. I lived in a crappy neighbor hood with a shitty mother and was thrown out when she couldnt make rent. I had met a boy who had moved in next door and his mother had let me move in when my mother had abandoned me at sixteen. I eventually got with this boy and he became abusive and started cheating on me with one of the rich girls who hated me. I had tried to save the relationship multiple times and I even had sex with him right after I found out he had cheated. Things still didnt get better so I moved in across the street with Paisley and her grandmother Beatrice. Paisley had been raped by a couple kids in out class at a sophmore party and became pregnant. When Micah couldn't take it that It was really over between me and him and I got with Luke, he shot up the school the last day before summer vacation and killed five people and then killed himself right in front of me and Paisley. Its now two years later and the events of that day are still in my head.
"Eva, do you know were the diaper rash cream is? Kaelyn has a diaper rash." Paisley hollered from the livingroom.
"Hold on I think its in my room. Daegon had one last week and forgot to put it back where it goes." I replied.
Daegon is my son and Micah's son. He is a year and a couple months. Paisley's daughter is two.
I ran to my room and grabbed the cream and tossed it to Paisley and then started to get dressed for school.
"Beatrice, are you sure you dont need us to find day cares while we are in school?" I asked.
"Honey, you ask this every time and my answer will be the same everytime. You need your diploma to get great jobs and take care of your babies. Besides, they keep me company through the day."
I smiled and heard Luke's car honking outside.
"Shit, were going to be late again!" Paisley said as she kissed both the babies hood bye.
We rushed out the door and into Lukes car.
"Hey, sorry we are always rushing around to get ready." I said to Luke as I kissed his cheek.
"No problem babe. You girls have responsibilities to handle." He replied with a grin.
"Where's Kevin?" Paisley asked.
"He said he was going to meet us at school today. He had something he needed to get done." Luke replied.
Kevin is Paisleys boyfriend and Luke's best friend. Paisley and Kevin have been dating about a year and a half. She was dating Chris the one who took her to prom for about three months but he was a bigger douche then he had led on. He didnt hit or anything. Just a big ass jerk.
We arrived at school. The security was a lot more heavy then it was before the shooting. There was triple the security guards and triple the metal detectors. It was still unsettling walking into the school.
We passed through the metal detectors and then the intercom came on:
Attention Senior students. There was a fire in the chemistry lab in room 410 last night so the senior chemistry class will be moved to room 202 until further notice.
I froze and started to panic. That was my biology room sophomore year. The room where Micah had shot Cheyenne in the head. Cheyenne who sat right in front of me and then pointed the gun to me and paisley and then shot and killed himself. That room hasn't been used since the incident. Since the tragic day. I guess they assume it would be okay to use it again.
"Hey, are you okay?" Paisley asked me. Im not sure that she realized which room they had just mentioned.
"I dont know. I guess we will see." I replied and she looked confused. She didnt know. She was in that room but she don't remember that was the room number.
