Chapter 27
The professor and I made our way to the school to pick up my sisters and the rowdies. We arrived, professor parking front of the school, "I'm gonna go inside, just so I can get my homework." I explained and he nodded.
"Would you like me to come with you?" He asked like any concerned father would.
I chuckled, "Yeah dad," I said sarcastically, "because every high schooler wants to be seen walking around the with there parent." he shook his head and unlocked the doors, "Besides it shouldn't take so long."
I got out and closed the door behind me. I climbed the steps to the school, nothing really hurt because the doctor got me pain meds. As I made my way inside something felt wrong, like something very bad was going to happen. It made me extra cautious and more paranoid, the bell rang making me jump, and then sigh at how stupid I was acting or at least I thought I was till no one came out of their classes.
I heard a gun go off then a scream then a gun go off again come from the cafeteria. I ran towards it, I looked through the window on the closed doors. I saw about 20 students, 3 motionless, 6 bleeding heavily and the rest terrified. My heart rate increased when I saw my friends and family in there. I knew the gun men was Logan or Rusty, whatever his name was.
I hurry and ran outside to the back of the school to the lunch ladies kitchen door. It was locked so I ripped it off surprisingly quiet. I made my way inside, I glared as I felt cold metal press against my head. Whoever it was pushed me forward forcing me to walk, we almost entered the cafeteria till used my super speed to kick the gun away but of course the pain meds would drain my powers letting him tackle me. We rolled around throwing punch after punch, some hair pulling till a gun shot made us stop.
I was fighting some guy I didn't even know, "Not this one." Logan/Rusty said to him. I realized we somehow made it into the cafeteria and everyone that was alive was watching us. "Get up." I knew Logan/Rusty was talking to me. I was still glaring but I stood up as did the other guy.
"Damn bitch can throw a punch..." He muttered under his breath.
I ignored him, looking at Logan/Rusty, "Why are you doing this?"
"You left, I told you what would happen and you did it anyway. Blossom you should know better than anyone else, choices have consequences." He snapped but I didn't flinch, I'm sick of being the damsel in distress.
"I know who you really are." I replied, taking him back a little bit but just like that he was back to normal but more mad.
He laughed humorlessly, "And who would that be?"
"Rusty, I know about Jenny and what you did to her." I grew angrier by each word, he hurt an innocent girl and took her life, who does that?!
He glared, growing a little bit, "How do you know about her, my name?! Tell me blossom!"
I ignored his question, "Rusty you need help, you're sick, someone out there can help you. You keep hurting people, why? So you can feel better about yourself, does it make you happier to know someone else is in pain? Or is it about power, knowing you can control everyone?"
He seemed scared, confused even, "You don't know about my life, stop it, stop it!" He was acting like a child, then it clicked in my head.
"Who was it, rusty?" Someone hurt him, worse than how he hurt me, some relative or really close.
"I said STOP!" Then a gun went off and I was shoved to the side.
I gasped looking at who pushed me, "BRICK!" I screamed, I hurry and went over to him. It shot him in his stomach, blood rushing past his red lips, "You idiot! Why'd you push me?!" I took off my cardigan and put it on the gun shot, applying pressure.
"Easy," He gurgled, "I l-love you..." More blood raced past his lips choking him.
"Shhh," I whispered, tears rushing down my cheeks, "I know, I love you too. Just don't talk, look into my eyes an try to stay awake..." I whispered to him as the lunch room doors burst open but I could only focus on brick, only brick.
