AS LONG AS I WAKE UP TODAY

•the last few•

"Time is up" the shooter stormed int head.
"Time is up...".
"Can you walk?" Shawn helped me,
I stood up and walked towards the door.
"Count off 5 minutes then come find me,".
"5 minutes! are you sure?".
"100 percent".
"Okay, I'll be right behind you, ".
"5 minutes Shawn 5 minutes".
"Yea... I understand".
"Good," I walked out.
I counted off 5 minutes in my head too.
I pushed open the door to the gym. Both shooters stood just a few feet away from me.
"Hey!" One of them yelled at the spot where Demian was. He sat on the floor. He looked up to me with grief in his eyes.
"I told you not to... I told you not to risk your life again... You promised" he whispered with a broken voice.
"I'm so sorry I really am".
"I thought I could trust you".
"It's better for us all".
"I love you," he said one last time before I went insane.
"I love you too Demain so much,".

"Ready?" The first shooter asked.
"Let's get over with this".
They took arms roughly. And pulled a cloth over my mouth.
I felt myself slipping away in a wave of darkness.

My whole body felt numb and slow. When I came back. I pulled myself up from the cold dusty floor. I felt quite normal int head while my body was a bit unsteady but I can live with that.
"Okay, you can go," the second shooter said. This time out of my head was new for me his voice was clear and strong.
"Shawn was going insane he really wants to see you," the first shooter said.
"Where is Demian?".
"We let him in the open he is free now, ".
"Good,".

I walked towards the door. Shawn's voice backed me up a bit.
"Lilia!".
"Yea?!".
"O my God are you okay... Did they hurt you?!".
"No no I'm good".
Can you stop slamming so I can walk through?".
"Yea sorry...".

Before I could even set a step towards him he wrapped his arms around me. I slowly pulled my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.
"You're okay...you're okay" he was still amazed by my state.
"I am okay you are okay we are good".

There was something inside of me screaming to break apart to keep distance. So I did... I broke apart stepped away from him but he lingered on me for a few more seconds.
"Shawn, can you let me go?".
"I let you go too many times".
"Let me go, Shawn...really I want to be alone".
He slowly let me go.
"I'm sorry did I do something wrong,".
"No, it's not you Shawn... I just want to be alone".
"I don't want to leave you alone!".
"I don't know what I will do if you stay... I might kill you, Shawn, !".
He walked away slowly not pulling his eyes off me. Until he disappeared in the distance.

"Why does it take you so long?" the first shooter asked, holding a gun in his hand.
"You want me to?..".
"That's what you are now,".
I looked up to his eyes, hid under the mask.
I took the gun from his hands. As soon as I held it something inside of my mind lighted up. A wave of darkness took me in its mood. Something switched and clicked together.
"The basement... They are in there I want you to kill them".
I just nogged. I turned my back to him and walked over to the basement.
I opened the door a bit pulled the good from my hoodie over my head.

I raised the gun All their faces turned to me all dead silent. I saw the fear in their eyes and realized I couldn't do this.
I dropped the gun to my side.
"Sorry".

"What are you doing?!" The shooter pulled the gun back in his hands roughly.
"I can't...kill them".
"Come with me... you lame thing". he dragged me with him.

He raised the gun to the leftover students.

And shot them all...
