REMINDER: BE THANKFUL! Allah gave us eyes, ears, mouths, bodies and everything and Alhamdullillah we're all healthy. We might have a few problems within us but you know, it's a test from Allah after all. Try to imagine losing your eyesight for one day and I'm sure you'll be amazed at how much you'll be grateful for your eyesight. Even the smallest things can be the biggest blessings :) 

Assalamualaikum guys :) Dont miss ANY prayers for this cuz this chapters not going ANYWHERE. I know it might be a temptation but you guys gotta resist lol

I'm off to do my calculus and physics homework - I slept the whole day. :/ I'm so lucky I don't have any math or architecture homework.  Alhamdullillah!

It's a short chapter dedicated to Snowflakes20 for remembering the scene from Itazura na Kiss... well the remake of it lol 

Yusra

What the hell is going on? Am I going to die today?? Ya Allah please don't let this happen to me. There were gun shots going off at each corner. The building was extremely large, well obviously especially since my university's well known. I was sweating buckets of tears. If I weren't running, I'd have already peed myself. I kept mumbling surah's under my breath. It was so hectic I didn't even realize who was guiding me. 

"Conner, I can run by myself!" I screamed over his big broad shoulders. When he heard that, he squeezed my hands tighter. At the moment I was running for my life so I didn't have the energy to argue. We ran into a huge library at the other end of the building and took shelter under the deepest black wooden desks at the back of the library.

We weren't the only ones there. There were a bunch of first year students just like me and Conner in the library hiding under desks too. When we first came in, I thought it was completely empty. I was breathing really hard and I couldn't stop. I had mild asthma since I was a kid. I gained a little weight when I was a kid so it was hard to run and all but now I'm already eighteen years old! Why am I having this problem. My breathing at the moment was no joke. It could attract the killers if they were five meters near us. I kept my eyes focused on the ground and I saw Conner looking at me from the corner of my eyes. He passed me some water quickly. I tried to stop my wheezing breathe but it seemed to be taking forever. Just then we heard footsteps near us. They weren't so close. But they were the type of footsteps that would roam around quietly looking for something and I knew it wasn't something normal. I was starting to feel really nauseous.

Conner grabbed my head and put it close to his chest to muffle my noises. He let one hand rest on my head and the other stroked my back, trying to lend me a helping hand. Somehow I sort of felt at ease and I might have actually passed out if the gun shot that was shot right next to our desk was not shot. I yelped, but a few people gasped and yelped out loud. The screams were detected. Conner however kept pressing my head tightly against his chest and pulled me in closer. He was sweating and I was losing it. If he weren't here, I'd probably be the first to blow my cover. Whoever was shooting was walking in the direction parallel to two desks away from us. Tears flew out of my eyes and all I could do was pray and read ayat-ul-kursi (verses from the qur'an that can be said to provide protection).  

"JAYDEN, WE GOTTA RUN NOW! THEY'RE AFTER US!" One man screamed, supposedly to the man who was walking close to us with a gun. Two seconds later, there were thick, huge footsteps stomping out of the library. Everyone still kept low. Just then someone started crying uncontrollably... not because they were scared... but because they were shot and they had endured the pain a lot. No one moved though because the building was still on lock-down. No one was to make a noise and stay low until the signal was turned on. 

Unfortunately I passed out. Not due to the shock I received but because I was having trouble breathing. But I did see some blood splattered before I passed out.
