"Stop it both of you! I decide who I love!" Ashley says to her girlfriend and Aidan.

 "THEN JUST DECIDE!" Spencer yells desperately.

 Before Ashley can give an answer, a car drives up. "GUN!" a voice in the crowd shouts. Everyone screams and gets on the ground. Ashley grabs Spencer and brings her to the ground, protecting her. The bullets whiz by. All anybody can do is hope they don’t get shot. After what seems like an eternity, the car finally drives away. The drive-by shooting left many students injured or killed.

 "Spence, you all right?" Ashley asks her girlfriend. Spencer just looks blankly into Ashley’s eyes as she starts to stand up. Ashley looks over Spencer’s body to see if she got shot.

 "A-Ash?" Spencer calls for her girlfriend shakily.

 "I’m right here babe." Ashley takes Spencer’s hand in hers. She notices Spencer is staring at something. Following her line of sight, Ashley looks out over the scene. When she sees what Spencer was looking at, she emits a slight gasp.

 "C-Clay? G-Glen?" Spencer calls out to her brothers with her voice breaking. No response came from either of the two. Among the students still on the ground, Glen and Clay were there. Glen seems like he was shot in the stomach and arm. Clay seems to have been shot in the upper torso and his neck. Spencer feels a soft squeeze on her hand. She turns around and embraces Ashley. Spencer can only cry into the crook of Ashley’s neck. "WHY?! Why would anybody do this?" Spencer cries out.

 "I don’t know baby. I just don’t know." was all Ashley could say with a lump starting to form in her throat. She rubs her girlfriend’s back as they cry into each other. After a few minutes, Spencer’s body goes limp and starts to fall down. Ashley follows it to the ground. "SPENCER!" Ashley cries trying to wake the love of her life up. "Spencer?" Ashley asks weaker.

 Finally, the ambulance arrives and start taking kids to the hospital. Ashley calls someone over to help. "She just… fell. She went completely limp. Her heart is beating really fast. Please help her." was all she could say as tears started to run down her cheeks.

 The man takes Spencer into the ambulance with Ashley close behind. Ashley takes Spencer’s hand and starts to cry. "Don’t leave me babe. I need you. I can’t live without you." Finally, the ambulance arrives at the hospital. The place was filled with people crying and doctors running around. Ashley follows the doctor to Spencer’s room. She looks to her left and sees doctors crowding a boy who seemed to be spurting blood from his lower torso. Ashley cringed and walked faster. When they finally got to Spencer’s room, Ashley ran to her side. Taking her girlfriend’s hand in hers, Ashley started crying. "What’s wrong with her, doctor?"

 "Well, we have to run some tests to make sure, but from what you told us, I think Spencer here has PTSD." the doctor says with sadness in his eyes.

 "PTSD? What’s that?" Ashley asks, confused.

 "It stands for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It occurs after an extremely traumatic event, like what happened tonight. It can really mess a person up." the doctor says solemnly.
