Apparently, these drug dealers decided it would be a good idea to burn our school flag. The cops are checking it out while I'm looking for Dylan and Ryan.
"Josie" my mom calls out to me and I run and give her and hug.
"Honey what's wrong?" she asks me and then I begin to ramble.
"I can't find Ryan or Dylan mom," I tell her and she hugs me. I then without thinking I look through the crowd. I see Nina who's hugging her brother and it makes me wanna cry. I needed and wanted Ryan who's really made it up to me tonight.
I look and find Scott, Yasmin, Davina, and Lucy all sitting in a circle by a tree.
"Where's Ryan?" I ask and they all shrug.
"He was looking for you," Davina tells me and I don't know where else to look. I thought maybe I would wait and they'd both show up but I couldn't lose them. One of my best friends already got shot so I needed to stop being selfish. I walk back to Stasia and hug her and begin to cry into her arms.
"Did they say it was going to be okay or not?" I ask her about Isaac.
"Well it all happened so fast I mean he took the bullet for me I don't why he would do that? I mean I don't know anyone to love someone so much that they'd take a bullet for them and possibly die. I thought it only happened in movies but Isaac the way he made sure I was ok first" she tells me and begins to cry again.
"Josie?" I hear a voice behind me and turn around it's Ryan with blood on his face and I look at him.
"Oh my god, Ryan!" I exclaim and walk to him looking at the blood on his face.
"Josie it's was so crazy oh my god this kid had a gun and wanted to shoot up the school. I was looking for you and this one kid got shot and his blood got all over me. I was so scared he was going to hurt you" Ryan tells me and then I have a scared thought.
"Who was the kid who got shot?" I ask him.
"I don't know but it was terrible I don't think he's going to make it," he says and it all connects.
They couldn't identify Dylan cause even as much as I'm around him no one knows him. Which meant that Dylan got shot looking for me. This couldn't be happening Dylan was dead this couldn't be real.
I couldn't lose him I wanted him nobody else.
He taught me how to open up and let my emotions out. He was there for me when I wanted to cry my heart. He talked to me and let me into his life and even apologized for being rude and now I've lost him.
I then feel my eyes water for the millionth time tonight and then I look and see Drew and see the person behind him.
"Dylan!" I scream pushing Ryan who doesn't even notice and run to Dylan. He sees me and feels relieved and then as he begins to walk towards me I run and wrap my arms around him.
"I thought I lost you," I tell him and he wraps his arms around me.
"My phone died and I was so worried about you Josie I was scared that you got hurt," he tells me and my heart warms.
"Well I'm here and I think that right now I-" I'm interrupted when Stasia grabs Dylan and hugs him.
"Isaac got shot I can't afford to lose any of my best friends," she tells him and he looks at me and I smile.
Even though, It was around 1 in the morning I was sitting in my dad's car on the way to the hospital. Isaac just got of surgery and we had to wait for him to be allowed visitors.
"This is so crazy at a football game too," my mom says while her and my dad are talking and my brother hands them coffee.
"Everything was crazy tonight one of the cops even told me that he had to break up a fight," my dad tells my mom.
"Do you think he's going to be okay?" I ask Dylan and he shrugs.
"I was terrified though that something had happened to you I really care about you Josie I-" Dylan begins to say until a doctor walks into the room.
"He's awake and told me to tell you guys to come on in," the doctor says with enthusiasm. I read his shirt his name was Dr. Coler.
I walk into the room and look at Isaac who sees us all and smiles and I look at his parents. Young and worried as hell I bet.
"Isaac next time I'll take the bullet" Stasia jokingly tells him and gives him a hug. He winces a bit but still tries to hug her back.
"Dylan guess you and Josie found each other after all" Isaac teased him and Dylan rolled his eyes.
"We're just all happy you're okay," I tell Isaac and give him a hug and then get a text from Ryan saying he couldn't sleep.
I texted back telling him that today was crazy and he agrees I tell him I'll talk to him. As we say goodbye to Isaac and all go to our cars. We all go home but I just feel unsafe and I overheard my dad saying that the cops killed the shooter.
I didn't even feel like showering I just laid in bed and texted Ryan and groan remembering my empty plans.
Maybe I could go shopping with Dylan he could use some new clothes?
But did I only want to go shopping with him?
