Tae was able to switch over to my school so Liam drives us both now. And even after a week of Tae living with us, my parents still haven't gotten used to it.

"Bye dad," I get out of the car with Tae, "Have a great day!" "You too hun," He hands us our lunches, "Don't do anything i wouldn't do."

"Of course, Sir." Tae chuckles and wraps his arm around my shoulders, making Liam flinch. Sighing he smiles and drives off.

People found it odd that my parents let my boyfriend move in, but eventually came to like the idea, wishing their girlfriend/boyfriend lived with them.

It's not all easy though.

As I've said before, Tae is very clumsy- always dropping things, staining his shirts, breaking things-

I'm surprised he hasn't broken a bone yet!

"Hey guys!" Our friend group smiles as we walk up to them. We both let out a small, "Hey." Tae sets our bags on the table because- as always- he carried both of ours,

"Princess sit down," he sets me down, keeping his hands on my shoulders, "You didn't sleep at all last night because you insisted on studying." I stick my tongue out at him and he chuckles.

"Girl, where did you find him?" My best friend James stands up and grabs his arm, "I want one." Playfully he pouts and rests his head on Tae's shoulder.

"I ran into him," i laugh, "Quiet literally on my way to school one day." "I had a bruise for a week-" "Did not!" I push him rolling my eyes.

Sighing James sits by me, "I need to run into my prince charming." I wrap an arm around his shoulder awkwardly because he's taller than me, "You'll find him some day."

The day goes by calm as usual. I got another 100% on my math exam, which im excited to tell Tae about.

I sit at the lunch table with James, Hailey, Anna and Ella. "Where's Tae?" Anna chimes taking a bite of her burrito.

"He should be here soon-" Im cut off by the sound of loud gun shoots and screaming coming from the hall way. Everyone starts panicking, not knowing what the fuck that was!

Soon everyone's gasping when a tall man in a face mask walks in pointing a gun at everyone that moves, "I want everyone in the gym now!"

Without hesitation, people start running- mostly to the doors- but they stop when two more shots are fired, two kids falling to the floor dead.

More screams fill the school, "Now," the man reloads his gun, "To the gym!" More guys with guns walk into view, blocking all exits.

My heart beats so fast as i look around, "Come on," James grabs my arm, "We have to get to the gym before they kill us!"

He doesn't give me time to rebuttal, dragging me down the hall and into the crowded gym. He clings to my arm for dear life as they shut the gym doors, one gunman standing in front of each.

I can't help crying when i can't find Tae, my heart beating so fast i think it'll over work itself, "Where the hell is my boyfriend??"

I can feel the panic getting worse and worse as i scan the room, not being able to see Tae, not knowing if he's still alive.

Once they start lining kids up, my heart stops. When i see Anna in the line i cry harder, not know what they're going to do.

Cries and sobs can be heard throughout the gym, besides that its silent. "Lets go!" One of the men shouts before leading the line back into the hall.

Everyone falls silent in anticipation, not wanting this to be real.

Wanting to wake up.

Missing our families.

Not knowing if we're going to make it home alive.

Gun shots.

Me and James cry in each others arms, knowing our Anna is gone. More screams leave everyone's mouths with it.

"Line up!" They order more kids into lines, scaring the shit out of everyone. Kids that don't obey are shot on scene, and more kids start to obey.

Different prayers can be heard coming from all over the gym as more kids are brought into the hall way to be slaughtered.

"You," one of the men grabs me by my arm, "Get in line!" "No!" James grabs my arms and pulls me back, pissing off the man in front of us.

Pointing the gun straight at James head, he pulls the trigger. I scream in shock as James' lifeless body falls to the floor, his blood staining my face.

Before i can fully process anything, im being pulled into a line, besides my classmates. "Lets go." They lead us into the hall way, forcing us to kneel facing the wall.

When i see the dead bodies of my peers on the floor, blood caking the walls in front of me, my heart stops.

The sound of guns cocking draw out more tears from my eyes as i pray for Tae and my parents, hoping he's alive and that they'll all be okay.

The sound of gun shots going of makes me jump, but they're not directed at our heads. One hitting my side, making me cry in pain.

I hear several bodies falling to the floor, but not any of my peers. Turning i see the gunmen bleeding out on the floor.

"You're safe." I look up to see a police man applying pressure to my side to stop the bleeding, but it doesn't help.

As I lose more and more blood, my vision starts to go blurry. I can only make out a few images and i can tell that I'm soon in an ambulance.

"Tae?" I look around, hoping to see him. "Who?" The nurse asks as she gives me a shot in my arm. "Tae," I cry out, "My boyfriend, where is he?"

She doesn't answer, continuing to give me shot after shot making me more tired with every one.

Slowly my vision goes completely blank.
