Blown Apart

Chloe POV

I hanged up the phone after talking to Cody and panic raced through my body. I didn't know what to do.

"Are you okay Miss Beale-Mitchell?" One of The students asked me and I quickly nodded unable to respond. My children where in danger and I was frozen. I took a deep breath in and went into action. I had to find Beca. 

I ran into the nearest class room and asked the teacher to watch my class and explain the situation asking her to also email other teachers. I ran to the music block and found Beca alone in her office.

"Quick. There's been an explosion at the school and Cody is fine but I don't know about the others! We have to go now Beca please." I speak so fast trying to keep it calm but I can't fight the tears back.

We quickly leave the school we explained but they already knew some of the situation. I could see Beca was trying to remain calm but I could see in her trying to fight back tears.

When we arrive at the school parents we already outside we found Cody quickly and I wrapped my arms around him tightly. I had stopped crying in the car as I knew I had to be strong for the kids. Cody was terrified, even if he didn't show it. For the first time in years he cried in my arms. I stoked his back telling him it was going to be okay, when I didn't know that it would be. Cody pulled away.

"They didn't answer!" He croaked out.

"What?" Beca asked moving to look at his face.

"Brynlee, Cece or Bronte. No one answered. I don't know where they are, they could be..." He didn't need to finish his sentence because we all knew what he was thinking. We were all thinking it too. Beca picked up her phone and was about to call the girls.

"Why aren't the doctors going in!" I asked. 

"There was a gun shot!" 

"What?" Both Beca and I said shocked.

"The police went in and I think they found the gun men, I don't know!" He croaked going back into hysterics over not knowing if his sisters are safe. A police officer stood on top of a bench so he could look over the crowd that was now outside of the school.

"What we know so far is that there was a planned attack bombs have been placed around the school and all went off at the same time. Shortly after a gun man went into the building teachers and some of our staff managed to stop him. He has been taken by the police and now the ambulance staff our going in. We would like you all to remain calm and we will deal with the situation getting children out as fast as possible. Please remain back and do not block the ambulances. When a child comes out we will need to write their name down to make sure everyone is here and who is left in there. But it is important we know who is out if we write their name down we will let you take them. If your child has not been called and we have cleaned the place, head over to Seattle Grace Hospital were all the children will be taken. Thank you for your co- operation. We will do what we can." The officer said, stepping down from the table as a member of staff stood up to check the children out Cody went over to make sure they knew he was out. 

I looked at Beca and she nodded knowing that this was still bad. Beca got her phone out and started calling the girls and so did I, while still comforting Cody when he returned. I was terrified fighting back tears and so was Beca but we had to remain calm for Cody and the girls.
