Harley wasn’t going to give him an option, she was going with him. She held his hand tightly, this would actually feel weirder if the two weren’t in a life and death situation, but for now, it felt… right. She knew he’d need some kind of support to go along with him. She walked slowly with him but then he paused, silence filled the air around them and he turned to look at her. When his lips touched her cheek, she furrowed her eyebrows in response, taken a back a little. She kept her eyes on him, in hope of an explanation, her free hand touching the spot lightly where he had just kissed. What on earth was that for? She looked back at him, their gaze unbreakable at this moment, her eyes shifting around his, in hope to find the answer in his expression but nothing.
As he went on with his mini speech, well apology, her eyes almost grew watery, but she held back any tears. What was with this guy? How can you hate him one minute, then the next want to just give him a big hug? It was like he had multiple personalities or something, it was so weird and she wasn’t used to this version of him, nor did she expect it. She could tell he was being honest, meaning every single word, and when he said ’I hope for his sake that neither of us die right now’, that was when a tear rolled down her cheek, but only one. She nodded, still unable to speak, she was just thankful that he had said all of that, especially before she was about to die. It was like she had to know all of this, she just wished she could have told her son that his dad actually did care.
It was time. The two entered the classroom next door and the scene before them was horrific. One boy laid dead on the ground, Harley immediately assumed it was Alex, especially when Benny ran over to him and started to cry. It was heartbreaking watching Benny so emotional and suffering such a great loss, ’he must have really loved the guy’ she thought as she turned to the see the other male in the room. It was Declan and he was shot in the upper thigh, but he was okay. She quickly rushed over to him when he said her name, she touched his shoulder and pressed him back. ”okay, but you have to stay put… you’re going to make it worse” she said looking at him like a mother would her child. She was just relieved to know that he was okay. She stood up, her heart racing, and walked over to the nearest window, opening it and yelling out, ”HELP! We need medics! The shooter’s… , she stopped and looked at Benny, feeling bad that she was pretty much announcing Alex’s death, ”down”, she continued and she heard people talking and rushing towards the classroom.
She slowly attended to Declan again and looked at his wound, ”it’s…deep… but.. you’re going to be fine” she said and looked up at Benny again. He looked so sad and it made her want to cry, ”be right back”, she kissed Declan on the forehead, ”just keep pressure on it, she put his hand on his thigh and walked over to Benny. ”I’m sorry”, she said leaning down and putting an arm around him and kissing his shoulder. ”he’s… he’s in a better place now.” she whispered and at that same moment, a group full of people walked inside, all in uniform. Two medics attended to Declan and two more went to Alex, checking to see if he was completely dead. Harley couldn’t move her eyes from Benny’s face, she knew this much have been extremely difficult and she hated herself for bad mouthing Alex just minutes before. She must have come off as such a bitch.
