New Boy In Town [8]

Torre always felt sympathetic about the people who were killed in school shootings, but never had she thought it was happen to her.. It never seemed realistic. Well, it did. But who would want to think it could happen to them. No one. But since it was happening, there was nothing she could really do now. But hope it ends soon.

They turned the television on, but left it on mute. Somehow, they started playing cards in front of it for light. After a few minutes of playing, a reporter appeared on the screen. Maddy jumped up and ran and got headphones. She split them with Torre, and they listened to what he had to say.

reporter: "New at seven. I stand a few yards from the campus of Hale. From what has been reported, a raged woman with a rifle is rampaging throughtout the buildings. Only two people have been killed, and one injuried. Only one of the names of the killed victims have been released. An Adam Manchester. No other news have been released, please stay turned for more updates. For now, I'm Jeffery Kent, signing off for now."

Torre turned her head slowly towards Eric, who hadn't heard that Adam died.

"What?!" Eric whispered, but you could tell he wanted to raise his voice some due to the ghostly look on her face.

"Adam.. got shot.. Eric.. he's dead." She finally said.

"Are your serious.. Dad is going to be devistated.." Eric said leaning his back up on the couch, he just couldn't believe it. Torre scooted over next to him and embraced him in a big hug.

"It'll be alright."

"It's not that I'm all that upset, it's just my dad."

"I'm sure your family with cope. I lost you and I still managed to live." Eric smilied a bit and leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips. Maddy turned around fast and pulled the earphones from her ears.

"They said that the girl just turned herself in, and that we can not worry anymore." Maddy jumped up and ran out of the dorm. Obviously, going to see that guy again.

After the shooting, everything went back to normal. Well, almost normal. There was just a heavy atmosphere looming around. Everyone was just gloomy and blah. But Torre and Eric began going out, they felt that they had been around each other long enough and knew they both realllllllyyyy liked each other. She decided to call him one day because she was so bored.

"Hey Eric! Wasss up?" She asked.

"Hey Tor, I was just packing my bags.." He replied.. it sounded like he was crying.

"Eric.. what do you mean.. what's wrong..."

"My father.. he.. he hung himself.. He couldn't handle not having Adam in his life anymore.." He was definitely crying now.

"Aw Eric, I'm so sorry. I'm coming over right now, okay?"

"Alright.. but I'm going to get a passport later on tonight."

"Okay, that's fine. I'm leaving right now. See you when I get there, bye."

"Bye babe."

After Torre was there for a while, she came up with an idea.

"What, no your not. You've got important classes to attend, nah uh, your staying here."

"No, I'm not. Eric, let me go with you. Please. I haven't even seen my family in a while. I'll tell my professors and my consulers that I'm having problems with my family. I'll be there with you, I don't want to be without you.." she pleaded.

"Okay okay. Fine. But, you have to make one promise to me."

"Alright, name it."

"You can't see Jackson. I don't want him around you, okay.."

"Alright, I won't. Promise.."

Later on that night, they went to the closetest Airport and got two passports to ge tback home. Torre went to talk to the consuler and professors. They left on a Saturday around eight in the morning, and headed back home...
