The Words He Couldn't Say
14 parts Ongoing MatureAaliyah and Jack have been the bestest of friends since the fourth grade, but one day that all changes after the popular kid at their school decides that he wants to shoot it down with his father's and Aaliyah's help. He drags Aaliyah through the building and throws her into a supply closet underneath the stairs where his father is waiting for them. They ask Aaliyah to help them shoot down the school, but she refuses, not wanting to be known as a killer. After the popular kid's father reveals a big secret about who he is, Aaliyah finally agrees to help them in hopes to escape him.
Before she can do anything though, he puts his hand around her neck and holds her against the wall. Aaliyah pretends to have passed out, silently begging for him to let go, and he finally does. She was still conscious when she hit the ground, but that soon changed when he asked his son to shoot her.
Somehow, Aaliyah is still alive and wanders through the school in search for Jack. She bangs on the band room doors, begging for someone to open it, and she weakly falls into Jack's arms once he does. One of the shooters makes his way into the room and Aaliyah begs Jack to run. He does, and the shooter aims his gun at Aaliyah. With Jack being deathly afraid of living without her, he comes out from where he was hiding and the shooter ends up shooting him in the chest. Aaliyah uses her last bit of strength to crawl to Jack and he kisses her before his eyes rolled to the back of his head. She lays on top of him, too weak to stay awake, and passes out while she hugs his body. When she wakes up in the hospital days later, the first thing she asks for is Jack. Her doctor finally gives the okay to see him, and he wakes up shortly after she gets there. He immediately asks if she's okay, and she assures him that she is. Jack continues to progress with healing, but Aaliyah finds out that he has a high chance of dying soon. When he does, she is heartbroken. Weeks later, Aaliyah finds out she's pregnant..
