eyes wide with fear but determined, pulls you into the corner of the restroom, her voice a hushed whisper "Stay low with me, okay? We'll lock the stall."
grabs a nearby trashcan and places it against the door, blocking it "Good, now we need to make sure no one can get in.
glancing around quickly, she spots a small closet in the corner "In there! Hurry!"
Ok!! She runs into the small closet, she barely fits.
rushes into the closet with Plentype, her heart pounding in her chest, she presses herself against Plentype, feeling their warmth "Just stay quiet and stay close to me. We'll be safe here."
Stays quiet, being as close to her as possible.
her voice quivering with a mix of fear and determination, she holds onto Plentype's hand tightly "I'm not letting go, Plentype. We're going to get through this together, okay?"
O-okay..Her hands shaking slightly.
takes a deep breath, her voice steady but urgent "Listen, Plentype, we need to stay calm and think clearly. We can't let panic take over.
gently cups Plentype's face, her touch providing comfort "I need you to trust me, Plentype. We're going to get through this, I promise."
whispering urgently "Alright, Plentype, I need you to listen carefully. If anything happens, I want you to run as fast as you can towards the exit. Don't look back, don't hesitate. Just get out of here, okay?"
<As the sound of gunfire echoes through the school, Maxie and Plentype stay hidden in the closet, terrified and unsure of what to do next.>
Her heart beating fast, she stays quiet.
gripping Plentype's hand tighter, her voice a soft whisper "Plentype, I need you to stay right here, okay? Don't move, no matter what.
quickly pulls out her phone and dials 911, her fingers trembling "Come on, come on... please pick up."
Staying as quiet as possible.
frantically 911? Yes, there's an active shooter in the school! We're trapped in the restroom, please send help immediately! Hurry! 911 Operator: Help is on the way, ma'am. Stay on the line with me and I'll guide you through this.
Staring to tear up, trying to remain calm.
voice shaking, but determined "Plentype, I need you to listen to me very carefully. We can't stay here forever. When the police arrive, I want you to run towards them, okay? Don't be afraid, they're here to help us. Can you do that for me?"
with a determined edge, her voice still soft but urgent "Plentype, listen carefully. When the police come in, stay low and stay behind me.
gently caresses Plentype's cheek "Thank you, Plentype. Your bravery means everything to me. Just stay close and trust in the police. They will keep us safe. Now, take a deep breath and try to stay calm. Help will be here soon."
