6 “Chapter 5”
"Students get down!" as soon as Mrs. Harris shouted, students started screaming and running around the gym.
I got startled so I went to grab my guitar case when someone hit me again.
*blag!*
~Aargh! My wrist! >_< ~
"Ow!" I hissed as I tried to get up... It hurts.. It hurts so bad...
My eyes started to water. It hurts even with the slightest movement.
"Sean! Sean help!" I called. I had my eyes tightly shut because of the pain. "Help me, please."
(╥﹏╥)
"Get up."
Sudden, someone was pulling me up by my waist.
Everything felt like it was being played in slow motion... People panicking, screaming, everything... It's like I'm in a movie. I could only focus on him. Not to mention my hear beating as fast as it could that I feel like it's about explode!
~ Oh noooo! What happening?? My wrist hurts but I feel this way! Am I out my mind??? This can't be! ಥ_ಥ ~
"You can still walk right?" he asked with a worried face.
"Y-Yes."
Hugh grabbed my guitar and bag with his left hand while he supported me with his right hand.
We saw the teachers and other of the students gathered in the filled so we walked towards them with Hugh's hand still wrapped around my waist.
"Hugh!" Tyrone ran towards Hugh. "What the- Willow, what happened to you? Your wrist is turning purple!" he looked at me in disbelief. "Mrs. Harris, Willow's been injured!"
"Oh dear." Mrs. Harris walked to me with a worried face. "What happened to you?" thankfully she gave me a tissue to wipe my tears.
"She fell." Hugh said while making me sit down on one of the chairs brought by some students. "I saw her bump into someone then she fell."
"I see... Wait a little while, the ambulance will be here soon." Mrs. Harris assured us.
"Mrs. Harris, by any chance, have you seen Sean?" I asked her. "I was looking for him when this happened but he was nowhere to be found." I said as I showed her my wrist.
"Sean? No I haven't."
~ That's strange, we were just talking to each other before the explosion. ~
"Uh-" I was about to tell Hugh to hand me my bag but I stopped.
He looks at me with a confused look and I felt my ears getting warm.
"Uh, c-can you hand me m-my phone? I-It's in my b-bag." I bit my lip not having eye contact with him.
"Here." he handed it to my and I took it with my un-injured hand. I placed it on my lap and texted Sean.
[To: Sean]
Where are you?

I heaved out a sigh and looked at my wrist. Thankfully it was the right one and I'm left handed. Some parts were reddish pink while some were turning purple.
~ I hope I can still go to work tomorrow. ~

I'm currently inside the hospital with other injured students. Some fainted, and some were injured.
"We're teribbly sorry. One of the students brought a gun to school. Apparently, he was being bullied for a long time and decided to get revenge today." Mrs. Harris apologized. "There's nothing to worry about because he was already taken to the Police Station. Also, by next meeting, expect that we will have a much stronger security inside the school premises." Mrs. Harris continued.
Pretending to listen, I looked at my phone but there was still no response from Sean.

~ I wonder if he's okay. :-\ ~
"Willow, your wrist will be fine now. It'll take maybe 1 - 2 weeks before it'll fully heal. If it'll hurt again then feel free to come back." the doctor said and I smiled.
"Yes doctor. Thank you."
"No problem."
My wrist is covered with bandage and luckily it wasn't that bad. I can still go to work tommorow.
I went out of the hospital and decided to walk back home.
"Willow!" I looked back to see who it was and I saw Phoebe.
~ Aisshh, out of all people, why her? (〒﹏〒) ~
"Why are you here?" I asked. She didn't look like she was injured.
"I fainted." she said and walked beside me. "How's your wrist?"
~ Did she just ask how I am? ((0_0)) ~
"It's better now." I replied.
"That's good. Don't tell mom this happened to me okay? I don't want her to worry." she said and walked faster than me.
~ Wow. She does care about her mother even though she acts tough. ~
I heaved out a sigh and went back to walking.
It's been a long time since the last time I walked alone at nightime. It feels refreshing.
(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
*pam pam pam♪*
~ Oh? Sean's calling! ~
(☆▽☆)....(ಠ︵ಠ)
"Willow-"
"Where did you go?! Do you know how worried I was?! We were just talking to each other but you disappeared out of nowhere!" I screamed over the phone.
"S-something happened." he replied with shaking voice.
(((;ꏿ_ꏿ;)))
"What happened?"
"I c-can't tell you.." he said through the line.
My brows furrowed after hearing those words. We've known each other since preschool and tell each other everything but why can't he tell me what's happening to him now?
"Why? You know you can trust me with anything." I replied with a reassuring voice.
"I'm sorry. Please respect that my decision. The time will come. You will find out soon. I promise." he said.
"Fine. I'm glad you're alright." I told him sighing in defeat.
"How about you? How are you?" gladly he asked how I was.
"I'm good. Just sprained my wrist." I answered. "I have to go now. I'll be seeing you at work tomorrow right?"
"You're going to work tomorrow?! No! You're not even better yet!" he exclaimed.
"I have to. It's my first day and I also need the money."
"You never listen to what I say... Fine. Be careful on you way home."
"I will. Bye."
I walked back home since obviously it isn't that far. Once I got home, I made dinner for me, Phoebe, and aunty. It's a good thing that aunty isn't in a bad mood.
After taking a shower, I got ready for bed when I received a phone notification.
- [REMINDER] 1st day of work tomorrow! <3 -
~ *sigh* I have to wake up early. It's already 12:36 am. Gotta sleep now! ~
I threw myself to my bed and sank into oblivion.
