Chapter Two
The screams of fear fell away and all I could hear was my heart, once again. Even so the screams could still be heared, only more distent and far off, along with the click, bang.
'Who is he? Why does he care?' my thoughts were short lived as the boy burst into a sprent for the exit, grasping my arm and dragging me close behind him.
Even if I didn't know him, he was amazing. I'm going to make sure that he knows it. I owe him, my life.
As the door came into view, I realized that the click, bang was coming closer and closer. I hadn't even noticed the tears that were falling down my cheeks, that were flushed and pale with fear. My lungs were on fire and once again my life was playing out in slow motion. The door was closer then ever, but so was the click, bang and the fear rose high. I felt almost as if I was going to erupt, and I felt the boys grip tighten as he countinued to pull me away.
'Is this it?' I slamed my eyes shut in a last attempt to maybe push the boy and myself faster out of the building and outside to the saftey of the back school yard. Then, something clicked and I felt a cool rush of air as the boy and I came to a stop.
The door behind me slamed and I slowly blinked my eyes open.
'Am I dead? Is it over?' were the only things that came to mind.
"Hey," a male voice interrupted my thoughts. "You alright?"
"Oh, I-i...," my voice seemed to be lost in the surprise of the event.
The boy only smiled down at me in understanding. He then, took my hand and pulled me away from the double doors and around the school, to the front court-yard. I found that police cars, ambulence, and many people from the surrounding neighborhoods had formed a crowed around the school.
Upon seeing us everyone rushed over. Their faces were filled with fear, hope, and concerne. I noticed someone emerge from the crowd.
'Dad,' I smiled wirely at the man before me.
He just sighed and pulled me into a realived hug. My tears returned with extra force, like a rain storm as they cascaded down my cheeks. I wasn't only scared, I was nothing but terrified. I only have two friends at this school, unless what's-his-name is my friend. I just don't want to lose them already, the two friends I have. It's been four months, and I'm still new! It took three months to befriend Carley and Evan. I don't know what I would do if I lost them.
'Why does life have to be so cruel?' I thought sobbing into my fathers chest.
I slowly pulled away from my father and watched closely as the police entered the school. I then skimed through the crowd and found him watching me. His blue eyes shifted over me quickly as he seemed deep in thought.
I walked over to him and gave him the best smile I could. He smiled gentaly back and took my hand lightly in his.
"I'm Jase," he told me.
"K-kayla," I whispered.
At that moment it felt like we were the only two people alive.
My breath caught in my throught as his eyes stayed intently focoused on mine. Almost like one of those staring contest you have in kindergarden, where your both staring, confident that the other won't breath in your eyes, because that's 'cheating', just this, was way more intense. I found that it seemed I couldn't breath. Jase dropped my hand, but we kept our eyes conected. I began to feel dizzy because of my lack of breathing. But I wouldn't tell anyone else that he was what caused it. No, I'd just have to say that it was from the drama and massive shock of the situation. Plus, my sever athsma. That would help.
Soon, I felt the world around me fade, and everything turned black.

That's chapter two. I know it's not much longer, but it is longer, isn't it?
Well, I'm off to go to bed now.
