I made this chapter after the news about the shooting came out. Hopefully everyone in Florida in that school is doing well, sending them my best wishes. If you don't feel comfortable reading this chapter, then you can skip it.

Millie's pov

It's been about a month since Finn and I have really talked to each other. Sure, if we had to do stuff in our groups for the classes we are in, we talked about the work, but that's basically it. I don't really mind though, I think I'm getting over him, finally.

I finally told someone about Romeo. I told the principal, and Romeo got suspended. The word got out about what happened, and what he did to me. So there were rumors going around everywhere, some people were even calling me the slut.

They don't know what I had to go through.

Nobody would understand.

-

I was sitting down in Math class, and so was my group. We were working on our project, and we needed to get more supplies.

"You and Finn can go get some from the closet in the main hallway." Our math teacher said, and I looked at Finn. He just didn't make eye contact with me and walked to the door. I followed, then caught up with him, and walked to the side of him.

The hallway was quiet. It was really quiet.

We were walking for a few minutes, and it was dead silent.

"I don't think the school is supposed to be this quiet, Finn." I said, and he looked to a classroom door.

He walked to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. We both furrowed our eyebrows, and then we tried other classrooms. All locked.

"What's going on?" I asked, right before I heard a scream, and a loud boom.

I know that loud boom.

That was a gunshot.

When it went off, Finn and I faced each other, and our eyes widened.

"Finn, what's going on?" I asked him.

"Shhh. Maybe it's a drill." He said. I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat.

"Follow me." He said, and I did. We walked side by side, and turned the corner. We turned the corner, but when we did, we saw a guy. A guy in all black. His back was turned to us, and his arm was extended out. He was holding a gun.

He just shot a student.

I was in the middle of gasping, when I felt Finn cover my mouth with his hand, and pull me back around the corner. His other arm was around my stomach, so my back was pressed up against his chest.

Now is not the time to get butterflies, Millie.

He took his arm away from me, and let me back up from him. I turned around. And I thought my heart was beating out of my chest.

"Where do we go? All the classrooms are locked." I whispered.

He was about to respond, but we heard gunshots, closer. The guy was shooting the gun, getting closer to us with every shot. I felt Finn grab my arm, and he found a storage closet and pulled me into it, then went in himself, then locking the door.

My breathing started to get heavy, and I couldn't breathe. Finn turned around to me, and I could see his face in the little light that was in here. He grabbed my hand, and took me to the way far corner of the closet, which wasn't that far from the door, but far enough where he couldn't see us. I sat in the corner, and Finn sat next to me.

I was trying to control my breathing, and my eyes widened. I looked down at my hand, and Finn intertwined his fingers with it.

"Millie, slow breaths, deep breaths." He was whispering, and he was kind of working. I was looking at the little space of light under the door, to see if I could see any feet.

I saw some pass, and I gasped. Loudly.

God dammit.

The footsteps stopped, and I covered my mouth with my free hand. I felt tears going down my face, and Finn squeezed my hand harder. I noticed he had tears going down his face too.

He's just as afraid as me, but he's protecting me over himself.

The footsteps stood in front of the door, and didn't move. I heard the twisting of the doorknob, but it didn't open. Finn locked it.

It stopped for a couple seconds, so I turned my head to face Finn. He turned his head towards me too, his lips slightly parted, same with mine.

"Finn, if we don't make it out of here, I-

I got cut off of whispering when I heard a gunshot, really close to us. I think he's trying to shoot the door knob off. There were 2 gunshots, then 3, then 4.

Until it stopped. We heard the footsteps walk away.

"Finn, we need to get out of here. He's going to come back." I said, and he nodded.

"Just be quiet Millie. Be really quiet." He said, not letting go of my hand. I nodded, and we walked up to the door. He had his hand on the knob, and he let out a deep breath before opening it. He opened it, and looked out before he let me come out. I walked out, and saw the door was filled with bullet holes. I looked up to Finn, looking where to go.

"We can try to make it to the other side of the school," he whispered.

Try to make it.

I nodded, because there's no other choice to have, and we started walking. Our school is huge, so it takes a while to get down there. Finn was looking around every corner and behind us, just incase the guy was there.

We walked a little more, then we got to another corner. We turned it, and this time, nobody was there. We kept walking, but then I heard sirens. I heard them outside.

They were police cars. The police were here. We continued walking, then we heard a bang on a locker behind us. We let go of each other's hands and turned around, to see the shooter.

Fuck.

He pulled back his gun to shoot, but Finn ran in front of me.

"You aren't gonna shoot two innocent kids, are you?" He asked.

"Finn, move." I whispered, tears going down my face.

"Yeah, I am." The guy said, but then, we heard the doors open, the police.

"Put your hands in the air!!" I heard an officer yell, but instead of doing that, I heard a gunshot go off. With that, I looked back to the guy and he ran away. What did he shoot?

The officers ran after him, and Finn turned to me.

I pulled him into a hug, but let go after a couple seconds.

"Millie..." he said, and I furrowed my eyebrows. I looked down to see his hand was pressed up against his stomach, and when he took it off, I saw it.

Blood, pouring down his stomach, all over his hand.

He got shot.

Cliffhanger? I think it is.
