“ | So how do we survive? How do we bring light to a world that seems only dark? How do we take what hurts most, take the darkness and turn it into light? I think the answer is we love each other. Easy to say, but what do we do when it's hard to love? The next time someone is in desperate need and they're about to make a terrible mistake what do we do? Do we look the other way, do we just protect ourselves or do we help them? Do we do whatever we can to save them? I think I know what Hannah would want us to do. | ” |
— Clay (Voice Over)[src] |
The Spring Fling was a Spring dance held at Liberty High School. The dance was interrupted by reports of a school shooter on campus. The dance was evacuated after the police had arrived, at which time, the shooter had fled.
History[]
Clay and the rest of the gang attended the Spring Fling after Hannah's memorial service at the end of the trial. Everyone supported Clay when his and Hannah's song, "The Night We Met" came on. Mackenzie received a strange text from Tyler and she warned Cyrus, who warned the gang of Tyler's text. Clay went outside to try and talk him into stopping it and sees that he's carrying a gun. Clay talks him down and, with Tony's help, manages to get him off campus before the cops arrive.
Attempted School Shooting[]
In the middle of the Spring Fling dance, Clay was warned by Cyrus that Tyler had something planned—Tyler warned Mackenzie via text message (which is not shown), Mackenzie warned Cyrus and Cyrus warned Clay—they all panicked, and already had it implied in their heads what Tyler intended to do. Tyler loaded up two handguns and placed them inside his tactical clutch belt. After Clay then went to find Tony for help, Tyler took another handgun out of his bag, closed the bag, and then put it on his back. He then took out an assault rifle from the trunk of his car and closed the trunk and saw Clay run out of the building to meet him. Clay asked Tyler what he was doing and Tyler told Clay to leave, he walked closer to Clay and Clay told him not to do anything. Clay and Tyler continuously fight, Justin and Jessica then ran out of the building terrified and shouted for Clay. Clay asked them to go back inside, they stood in shock looking at Clay and Tyler instead and Tyler raised his gun at them, as the situation escalated Clay became scared and strongly demanded they go back inside so they ran back into the building.
Clay turned back to face Tyler and Tyler raised his assault rifle up to Clay's chest, Clay continuously tried to talk Tyler out of it but Tyler refused to believe him, Tyler became agitated and raised his gun further up to Clay's neck. Clay became visibly more scared and Tyler continuously walked further closer to him with his gun pressed to Clay's neck, as Clay tried to talk him out of it. Clay started to cry and walked further backward with Tyler's gun pressed to his neck as he carried on trying to talk him out of it. Tyler stopped and turned to look behind him as he heard sirens, Clay got closer to him and told him that he would not get out of it alive and that he didn't want Tyler to die. Tyler turned his face and swung his gun back to Clay, this time further up to Clay's face. Clay became scared and then relaxed his face and told Tyler "I don't want you to die. If you think this is the way, if you really think this'll change a goddamn thing, and not just be another fucking tragedy that adults cry about for a week and then forget, if you really think this is gonna be different then do what you gotta do.", Tyler stared at him blankly and Clay begged him. Tyler then told him that there was nothing else he could do.
Clay told him that they would figure it out together and reached to grab the top of his gun and slowly lowered it and let go of it. Tony arrived and demanded Tyler get into his car, Clay kept the gun and escorted Tyler into the car and Tony drove off. After he managed to talk Tyler down from an attempt at a school shooting, Jess and Justin ran back outside and asked Clay if he was okay, he told them he wasn't and Justin asked "This is fucked up right?" and then asked what they were supposed to do.[1]
