A/N: I'm still not getting internet on my laptop but I figured out a way to get this chapter posted. Thank God for memory sticks! I went out and bought one and I saved this chapter onto the memory stick and then saved it on my other computer, so I finally got it up and here it is...

Chapter 7

Lilly's POV

We're sitting there in silence, when all of a sudden we hear a bang, coming from a little ways down the hallway. Everyone gets tense as we wait to see what will happen next.

"Well I guess that's my cue," Danny said, as he starts walking towards the door.

"Stop it! Just stop it! Don't do it!" Sarah said, with tears streaming down her face.

"Please Danny, don't do this. Just turn yourself in, it doesn't have to be like this," Ashley said.

Danny nods, "Ya, I think it does," He then turns to the door, unlocks it and carefully opens it.

Miley's watching tearfully, "Danny!"

He turns back around, "You know, they'll remember me as a monster. I wonder how they'll remember all you." He then slowly backs out of the room. Miley then buries her head into my shoulder as tears are coming down both our faces. Everyone in the room is now crying.

Robbie Ray's POV

I slowly walk in to the school and see books, backpack, paper, pens and pencils thrown everywhere. I walk a few more feet down the hall, when I see him, I see Danny walking towards me.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing? THE SCHOOL'S ON LOOK-DOWN!" He shouted at me.

"I know that," I said carefully, "Why don't you just give me that gun and we can just walk outta here right now."

He's struggling, I can see it, "I can't."

"Well I'm not gonna leave you here son," I take a couple steps forward, "I'm not gonna do that, and I'll tell ya why," I paused, "Because I've been there. OK? I've been there. And I wanna tell you something…it gets better."

He shakes his did, "Not this, it can't."

"It does, Danny. That-that pain in your stomach, that pain in your heart – it goes away! That voice in your head that's-that's saying there's no way out; it's wrong, Danny! Would you please…please just believe me; it gets better."

"IT WON'T! NOT AFTER THIS! I CAN'T TAKE THIS BACK! I-I CAN'T ERASE THIS!" He paused, "I-I just wanted them to leave me alone. It's just; I wanted them to like me."

"I understand," I said.

He then slowly falls to his knees. He then looks up towards the ceiling, "I'm not here."

I then slowly take a couple more steps forward, "Danny, please just don't. It's gonna be OK son."

"But it hurts, right here," He smacks himself in the chest with the gun, "It ALWAYS hurts."

"I know...I know. Please just give me the gun… Please."

"I'm sorry," He replied weakly. He then turns the gun on himself. Finger tightening around the trigger.

"NO!" I screamed as I rushed forward. 'BANG', but it's too late as the sound of the gunshot rings throughout the school.

Miley's POV

'BANG' I lift my head off of Lilly's shoulder crying, when I heard the gunshot and covered my mouth in shock and horror.

I turn to look at Lilly. Her eyes are closed right now as little pools of tears leak out from underneath.

Ashley and Sarah are crying harder now.

Amber is staring of into space with tear silently rolling down her cheeks.

And Oliver is resting his head on his arms, shaking his head slightly.

I let out a shaky sigh and then let my head fall back onto Lilly's shoulder. She then wraps her arms tightly around me.

Robbie Ray's POV

When I reached his body, I immediately checked for a pulse but found none, he was already dead. I shake my head slowly, as tears make their way slowly down my face.

I then stand up. I sigh, lower my head sadly and look down at the body on last time the gun now lies abandoned on the floor, his skin is now pale as blood is seeping out through the wound in his chest. He is now sprawled out in a pool of blood; he looks so fragile. He wasn't meant to do this, he wasn't meant to go out this way. He still had his whole life ahead of him.

I tare my eyes away from the sight and look straight down the hallway where he came from. I decided to walk down the hallway to the room Danny came out of I know I shouldn't, I'm not really even suppose to be in here, but I just had to see if my baby girl was in there.

My legs are now slowly carrying me down the hallway in the direction of the classroom door Danny made his exit from.

By the time I reached the room, I heard cries coming from inside. I slowly turned my head and looked in and I saw Miley resting her head on Lilly's shoulder while crying and Lilly's arms wrapped tightly around her. I also saw Oliver and a few more students.

"Oh god, Miley," I said as I stepped into the room.

She looked up from Lilly's shoulder, "Daddy!"

She then came running towards me into my arms. "Oh, Bud, I'm so glad you're alright."

"I'm fine. I was so scared though, but Daddy what happened to Danny?" She asked as her tear stained face look up at me.

I sighed and looked away, but I think she got the point as she started to cry again.

I then saw Lilly get up and walk over to us; I opened my arms to let her get into the hug to. I then motioned for Oliver to do the same, which he did. I then leaned do and whispered in Lilly's ear, "Thank you for coming back for Miley," in response she just hugged tighter.

"How about we all get out of here," I said, I felt them all nod against me, "Come on." We then head towards the door and I motioned for the rest to follow.

When we made our exit from the school, the police came over and we had to lie down on the ground so they could check us to make sure, we didn't have any weapons.

When they we're done the other kids all got up and rushed over to their families.

Lilly, to her mom.

Oliver, to his parents.

Sarah, to her parents.

Ashley, to her mom.

And Amber, to her parents.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a couple of Officers walk over to this one lady, I'm assuming it was Danny's mother. The Officers were talking to her and she then fell to her knees and broke down crying, "NO!" she kept screaming as she asorbs the new the Officers told her that it was her son that cause all of it and that he was now dead.

Miley clung onto me. Not long after Lilly and her mom came over to us and Lilly pulled Miley into a tight hug. When they pulled apart I faintly heard Miley whisper, "Thank you."

Well that was it, it was finally over, and all the kids were with their respective families again. They were whole again. That is all except for one mother... the one who lost her son, to this crazy adventure we call life.

(Lilly's Voice Over) Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty? This hatred? How did it find us? Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us? Hoping for their safety in return. But knowing that some will be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows; swallowed whole by darkness. Does this darkness have a name?...Is it your name?

The End

A/N: Well there it is, I am not happy with this ending what-so-ever, sorry if it sucks and for any spelling mistakes, but let me know what you think. Please Review. :)
