It's sad that we're losing some really great characters at the end of the upcoming season in July ;3; I'm probably gonna cry during the graduation episode. Anyway, I wanted to write something Maya/Grace and came up with an idea since I found out in the next season there's gonna be a "Code Red Emergency"

Yes this is the longest one-shot I've done a while. I just had to write this though.

Read, review and enjoy!

It went off so quickly; the alarm... Then the gun shots rang out. Students ran and exited out of the doors. Some hid in classrooms, while others took no chances. Maya Matlin was currently running to the back doors of Degrassi. She had almost lost life once, she wasn't about to lose it now. Getting outside, the blonde went to get away from the building as fast as she could... However looking back over her shoulder as she stopped she realized something terrifying... Her friends... Weren't with her. Where were they? "I can't go back in there can I?" Maya thought. Another prom was ruined only this time by much higher stakes. One of the masked shooters for some reason demanded any information for Tiny, but why? No she HAD to go in.
Sighing, Maya then ran back into the school and ran like the wind. Were her friends hiding? Had they been shot? What the hell was going on? "MAYA LOOKOUT!"

A familiar voice called out to Maya who looked behind her and saw a masked man with a gun standing with the gun pointed at her... Suddenly the trigger went off and she froze. "MAYA, NO!" It was Grace... It was too late... Maya was shot and went down.

Then before everything went black more shots were fired, more screams were heard... Nope this wasn't good...

BEEP-BEEP-BEEP

"Maya?"

"Huh? Where Am I?..." Maya mumbled.

"You're in the hospital..."

Opening her eyes fully, Maya saw Grace standing before her with tears in her dark eyes. "Grace..."

"It's okay. I'm here," Grace replied. She bent down and hugged her friend gently. Maya weakly hugged her friend back and glanced at Grace. "A-Are you crying?" "Maya... I have something to tell you..." Grace responded. "What is it?" "Most of our friends didn't make it..."

"What?..." Maya muttered, as her eyes widened. "Only Zig lived, but he has some serious injuries..." Grace said. "I don't know how, but somehow I didn't get shot... The rest of you did... And... And..." Grace suddenly broke down into tears. "It's gonna be okay, Grace. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere I promise..." Maya said, as she did her best not to cry as well. Grace and Maya hugged gently and Grace sighed heavily. "I'm holding you to that you know..." Grace responded. "I wouldn't expect anything less..." Maya replied. "I'm so sorry, Grace... Especially about Jonah..."

At the mention of Grace's now dead boyfriend the goth closed her eyes tightly and shook her head. "It-It's... Okay..." Grace finally said. "I can't change what's happened..."

Nodding, Maya offered Grace a little smile and Grace smiled back. This wouldn't be easy, but someway somehow the two friends would get through this together...

A few days later the shooters were caught. Turned out they were old gang members whom were following Vince, before he ended back up in jail. Which explained why they were looking for Tiny.

-The End-
