I have never run so fast in my life, my legs are burning and I'm short of breath, but I keep running nonetheless. I hear an ear piercing sound and a loud scream; I turn around, completely horrified at what I see; Amy, on the ground, in a pool of her own blood.                                                                                                                         "No!" I scream and run over to her "No! This can't happen!" I cry out. I can see where the bullet hit her; in the stomach. Tears soak my face and I have to continuously blink to see through them. Finn carefully picks her up and tells us to keep running.                                                                                                          Amy and I have been best friends since kindergarten, we went to primary school and high school together, I can't imagine what life would be like without her. I stop running and sink to my knees, crying. I feel someone's hand slip into mine; I look up to see Connor standing there.                                                                  "Come on, she's going to be okay" he reassures me "She's strong" he says, pulling me to my feet "Let's go" we head off again, Connor's hand still in mine.

Once we are far enough away, we start slowing down.                                           "I need to stop" Carly pants, we slow down to a walk until we find a spot to rest. Finn slowly places Amy on the ground. She is barely conscious.           "Amy, stay with me" tears well up in my eyes "Please" I sob. Carly comes and sits next to me, she hugs me and I hug her back, burying my face in her shoulder. I grab Amy's hand, "C'mon Amy, don't leave me" I say. I keep my fingers over pulse, making sure she's still with me.                                                  A tear rolls down my cheek as her pulse slows down and then stops.
