Thirty eight

"They said when Hollis disappeared she-" JJ's cut off. "Shut the F up!" Pope replies. I giggle quietly. John B whistles referring to what Pope had said. Pope gets these sudden outbursts of emotion a lot.

Suddenly, the outside light turned off. There was our signal. "They did it... go time" John B says. We all pull our masks over our faces. "Let's do it.... 3-" he says, using his fingers to count down. Me and JJ got up before he could finish. "Just- just go" he says.

I follow JJ, with Pope and my brother following me. We go into the same area we had only a few days before, squeezing through the tight space. We all set down the gear we were carrying, except for JJ who had the rope.

"Holy crap you know what this is? It just hit me... Liz, look. This is chud, full chud" JJ says, handing the rope to Pope. We all pulled our masks down. John B gives me a confused look. "What is he talking about?" He asks. "Have you guys not seen that film?" JJ asks. "I have" I say, I remembered the many Halloweens me and JJ spent watching horror films.

"Can't say I have, no" John B and Pope both say. "It's actually a good film, it's about cannibals that live in the sewers under New York City-" Pope cuts him off.
"Shut up" he says. "How deep do you guys think this is?" I ask. "I don't know" John B replies.

Pretty soon we had the rope all set up, it was tied around my brother while me, Pope, and JJ held the other end stopping him from plummeting to his death. God knows how deep that hole was. "Hey uh I have one request" John B says. "What's that?" I say, trying my hardest to hold onto the rope.

"Don't drop me" he replies. Both Pope and JJ pretend to loose their grip which makes me gasp. "Ok you guys are gonna die first" John B says, going deeper into the well. "Just keep panning it out slow, just like that" he says. Pope was up front, I was in the middle, and JJ was in the back.

"Alright there we go, keep going" John B says. "I could get used to this view" JJ says, referring to me who was standing directly in front of him. "Shut the hell up" I reply. "Jeez someone's grumpy tonight. I quickly shoot him a glare and his eyes widen. The rope was killing my hands.

"Keep going" John B shouts. He was probably around 20 feet down at that point. "Wait wait wait hold on one sec I'm gonna get situated" JJ says. "You good?" Pope asks. He attempts to wrap the rope around his back and lean onto it, but let's go in the process, falling back onto the ground.

The rope beings to slip from me and Pope's hands, causing John B to drop quickly. "Oh shit!" Me and Pope continuously yell. "Woah woah woah!" John B yells. Thankfully, Pope is able to grab the rope in time. JJ scrambles around on the ground to grab the end, and I go back to my spot in the middle.

"Damnit!" I say as we struggle to pull the rope back to where we wanted it. "I told you not to drop me!" John B yells. "You good man?" Pope asks. "What the hell was that?" John B asks. "Technical difficulties" Pope replies. "Keep going slow" John B says.

We slowly start releasing him down into the hole again. The three of us struggle as the rope burn starts to kick in. "Hey! We got 15 feet left!" Pope tells John B, slightly out of breath. "Are you getting close to the bottom?" He asks. "I can't tell, just keep going" he replies.

"A little more" Pope tells JJ. Not gonna lie the way JJ was holding onto the rope was kinda hot, but I'm not gonna get into that. "Got it Liz?" JJ asks as he slowly starts to release some rope, he looks from my hands to my eyes during the process. "Yep" I reply. Oh the thoughts of JJ that were flashing through my brain.

"Woah! Stop!" John B yells. "I'm hanging over some sewage water looking shit" he adds. "You want back up?" Pope asks. "Keep going I guess" he replies. "Nice and slow" Pope says to both me and JJ. "I am definitely not sitting near him on the way home" I tell the two boys. JJ laughs.

"Ok ok! I'm at the bottom!" John B yells. "How is it down there?" Pope asks. "It's worse than I thought" he replies. "You find any gold?" Me and JJ both ask, smiling at each other after we said it.

"Nothing yet" John B replies. We all look at each other. "JJ! LIZ! PULL ME UP! PULL ME UP!" John B suddenly yells. We all run back into place as he continues to yell. "Pull him up! Pull him up!" Pope yells. We all struggle to bring him back up.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" John B yells. "Hey I think I found something!" He adds. "Just give me a minute, hold on"

"John B! You okay?" I ask, but I don't receive a response. I start to get worried. Suddenly, Sarah and Kie come running down the stairs. "Guys! Guys!" They yell. "Woah woah what's going on?" Pope asks. "She's up there! She tried to kill us with a fire poker, guys we gotta get the fuck out of here" Kie says. "Holy shit" I reply.

"We gotta go!" I yell. "Ok ok!" JJ looks at me. "Hey John B! Get back on man!" He yells. "Hold on JJ I'm coming!" John B replies. Kie and Sarah grab onto the rope behind JJ, making it a bit easier to pull.

"3 2 1 pull!" Pope says. As soon at we do, we all fall back onto the ground. I just happen to land on JJ. "Shit!" I yell, quickly making my way over to the well. "Where the hell is he?" Pope asks. "John B! Sarah yells.

This is so cringe💀
Also Am I the only one who wonders how John B ended up making his way out of the well by himself? Like did he just magically become spider man?
