Brian
You’ll make it out of here, Brian. I swear.
I had everything—school quarterback, popular with girls, and my dad was proud of me. I told myself it didn’t matter no one knew the real me. And then I nearly died. Landon saved my life. He’s the bravest guy I know. He came out a few years ago, proud and fierce, and he ran into gunfire to help others. Me, I’m a mess. Can’t even stand to be in a room with the curtains open. But here’s the thing about losing it all: You get a chance to start over and be someone new. Only how can I move on when the two shooters who attacked our school were never caught? And why do I feel like I’m still in the crosshairs?
Landon
Will you kiss me?
When I came across Brian Marshall,the hottest guy in school, dying on the cafeteria floor, I did what anyone would do. I tried to save him. His request surprised me, but I figured he needed comfort, so I kissed him on the forehead. When he survived and came back to school, he was broken in body and mind. He still needed me, and soon we were unlikely besties. But what I saw at school that day woke me up. I want to demand action on gun control, lead protests, raise my fist. I’ll tear the world down if I have to. And if I can get the man of my dreams and save the world at the same time? I’ll take it. Only I didn’t understand that the horror at Jefferson Waller High wasn’t over.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This story really hit me hard because I have children and every day I pray that nothing happens to them. My daughters school even has a metal detector to make sure the kids don't bring things in the school they are not supposed to. I think that kids now a days have easy access to guns and ammo.
In this story there is a school shooting and Brian gets hurt by the shooters and Landon comes to his rescue. Brian is the popular kid and Landon is the smart out of the closet gay student. Brian looks up to him and admires Landon for everything he is not.
After the shooting when Brian returns to school he leans on Landon and they build a friendship that turns into so much more. Brian needs Landon to survive day to day. Brian is suffering from PTSD and he has trouble coming face to face with the shooting and the fact that he is gay. Brian also has to deal with his father who has this attitude that yes there was a shooting but get the eff over it and move on. I tell you I wanted to reach through my kindle and kick his fathers a$$ so bad because he had this get over it attitude that racked me so bad. If my child was hurt in a school shooting I don't know what I would do but I would have so much compassion for my child and not force them to go back to school and get over it.
In the end Jefferson Walker High will never be the same.
