School Shooting

I was sat in the student commons at my university with my best friends Calum and Michael when it happened.

We were just chatting when the news came on the TV.

'SCHOOL SHOOTING AT NORWEST CHRISTIAN COLLAGE'

'Students are currently trapped inside the school while three shooters are in there, all who are armed. Casualties have been reported by teachers, a few deaths reported but no one has been named.'

My mouth dropped open in horror at that. I was unable to move nor speak as panic filled my stomach.

"Man that sucks" Calum remarked shaking his head

"Wait I recognise the school name.... SHIT" Michael yelled loudly

"Ash doesn't Luke, your boyfriend go there?" Michael asked resting a hand on my shoulder.

I nodded slowly.

"His parents died didn't they? And he's an only child, there is no one there for him" Micheal said not improving the butterflies in my stomach.

"Cover for me, I'm going, I can't leave Luke alone" I said hurriedly as I grabbed my car keys.

"Okay" Calum said

"Be careful ash" Mikey said as I walked out the door.

After a anxious drive to the school I ran towards the front doors where the police were giving the all clear.

Many names were called out to ask for parents to take their kids home but I didn't hear Luke.

I ran up to an officer and asked "Is there a Luke Hemmings?"

"I can check sir"

As he re-entered the school I saw a familiar blond running down the hallway.

"Luke!" I yelled

He had tears streaming down his face as he ran into my arms. Embracing him in a tight hug, I started crying too.

"I'm so glad you're okay" I sobbed

"Me too" Luke said quietly clutching me tightly.

I drove us back to my dorm and let Luke shower and get changed. Once he was done we went to wait for mikey and cal to finish class to show them we were okay.

It was three in the morning when I awoke to the sound of sniffling from beside me. It was Luke crying from a nightmare about the previous events that had happened.

I held him as his cries died down. I kissed him gently and laid him on my lap. He sucked his thumb as I softly hummed and stroked the bridge of his nose, the blond slowly being lulled to sleep. Smiling at the adorable sight I soon fell asleep.
