I can't think. I can barely breathe. I don't understand.

Why is Garret doing this? Why are we targeted? Why?

First Trust? Now Truth? What next?
I need to get out of this school.
I'm still shaken by Mack's death. Justine and Anthony might have been puppets used by Garret.

But how? Wait a minute. I turn to Hannah.
"How did you get bloody hands Hannah?" I ask.

She stutters struggling to find an answer. "Tell me the truth Hannah. Did you do this?"

"No. I didn't. You have to believe me Jack." Hannah answers.

"Then I ask again, how did you get bloody hands?"

Hannah's face lights up with worry. She starts sweating. Her hands shaking. Her breath escalating.

She runs towards the gun that Justine used to kill her self. I rush to stop her. She gets it before I do. She points it at me but she immediately gets confused.

"T-the students they're gone." She stutters in her words.

I look back to check. She's telling the truth.
All the students vanished. I don't know what to say. Me and Hannah are both speechless.

"What happened?" I asked.

Hannah replies with, "I don't know."

She lowers the gun and we investigate. We see the door slightly open showing a bit of light outside. We rush out the door to find Garret sitting down on a bench.

We look at each other scared to death.
We approach him. Hannah takes the lead because she has the gun. I still have the nail file from earlier.

"I need you to tell me the truth, Jack." Garret speaks in a calm and sad voice.
"Did you bully my kids? Do you cause them to kill themselves?"

I freeze in shock. Molly and Bill, the kids I always made fun of, they were Garret's kids?!

"E- I- wel-" I stutter and stutter. Garret realizes I'm the cause of they're death.
I'm the cause for this. Hannah is shocked.

"You killed my kids." Garret stands up and approaches me.
I fall in fear. "Gar-Garret I'm so sorry. Please don't hurt me."

"Oh I'm not gonna hurt you, I'm just gonna stop you from breathing." Garret then turns and knocks out Hannah.

I run while he's doing that. I hear his footsteps behind me getting closer and closer. I run all the way to some empty classrooms trying to hide.
