Dreamers

peer pressure or curiosity?

His words made me weak at my knees, but only for a second. Quickly I snapped back to reality, Could I trust him? Did I really have a choice ? His whole appearance looked like he was up to no good, but I couldn't really just walk away now. Unless I wanted to turn myself in.

" You think a lot don't you?" he says after I never said anything.

"Quite frankly I don't want you here , but  I don't really have a choice" I snap as I turn to grab another wipe for myself.

" Well you opened Pandora's box all by yourself, I so happened to be there"  He retorts in a cocky voice. Sam then walks across the counter until he's facing me directly. In that time I was able to finish  bandaging my arm and turned to put away the supplies.

 Turning back, I give him my best go to hell smile and walked back outside to the porch. Thinking of what was to come. I didn't usually act so harsh to people and I was ashamed I was doing so, but I shrugged my guilt off.

"What are we  going to do now ?" I hear from behind me . when I looked at him he had a face of seriousness.

Really? How can you go from a  cocky douche to a serious concerned guy ?

"I don't know. " I mutter shaking my head. What was there to do?

"We need to do something" Sam states in a dramatic tone, as if  he didn't just state the obvious.

"Do we ? Can we just let this go and forget about it ? I've never seen you before so I don't think I'll see you again.  You told me to leave when I met you so what ever you were doing , you can do alone. "  I say turning towards him . All I said was the truth. This could all be over if no one said a word.

But was it ever that easy ?

He walked and stood next tot me.

"Your right. I can do it alone but you don't want that. Not really. "

"What?" I asked shocked. What did that mean?

"Your curious Morgan. You want answers and so do I." He says and I stay quiet.

I wanted answers but if this is what I had to do to get them, then I didn't want them.  But why did those guards have guns ?  Instantly more questions raced to my head. Why was a security here?  Why was there any need for a restricted floor? 

" What do you want me to do?" i ask shaking my head on how stupid I was.

"Those pills. We'll take them and see what happens . We can find out why they are confined." Sam replied.

" Are you crazy ?! They are confined for a reason! They could kill us." I yell in a quiet tone. Loud enough for him to know what a horrible idea it was, but quiet enough for no one else to hear.

"How else do we find out ? Life here isn't worth it anyway. The pills will be doing us a favor. Something I've been to weak to do myself." he says throwing his arms up, then lowering his gaze from mine as he admits the last part. He wanted to kill himself? Suicide was a word no one talked about. It was just part of history we learned about in Early America class, such a thing didn't happen here anymore. It was possible his secrets were darker then anyone would have thought. I could only understand that now...Everyone just assumed everyone's life was great, but maybe that too, was a lie we told ourselves...

A lie leads to a lie. Was this all the world was ? Lies? What happened to the peacefulness of this world ? The trust? Even the boring hours of doing the same stuff? How could all that change in a matter of hours ?

"Lets do it . If we are going to get answers we have to do what it takes. " I say with a reassuring nod. although the nod wasn't exactly for him, but for me . I was insane. Walking away now, would almost guarantee my safety, but the knowledge I know, made it impossible to quit. Curiosity was a drug, and the side effects were deadly. 

I take out the little bag and eye all five little pills. Round and blue, no bigger then a tack.

"How many do we take?" he asks walking closer to examine them.

"How about one for now." I replied not wanting to risk more of myself then I already was. Taking two out, I handed one to Sam.

My hand was shaking slightly, just enough for him to notice.

"You don't have to do it, Morgan, not if you don't want to." he says looking from my hands to my eyes.

Oh god those eyes . ''Yeah , the same eyes that dragged you deeper into this mess you could have got out of'' I thought

"No. We do this together." I reassure him. I lift my head up and sallow the pill and he does the same.

For a moment we just look at each other. Studying one another's faces looking for any difference.

Suddenly I feel like my entire body had been set on fire, starting from my chest and expanding. Gasping for breath, Sam quickly races over, only he didn't make it far when he looked like what I felt.

Losing my balance, I hit the ground and see his figure follow to the ground as well.

Soon the pain founds its way to my head and everything was blurry. I heard no sound. Fear washed over me and I tried to move my arm to find Sam but it was no use. I couldn't move.

Just as fast as the pain happened....it was gone. Minutes of pain  which felt like agonizing hours and then all of it was gone.

For a moment I just laid there breathing heavily.My back wasn't lying on the grass anymore but a cold hard ground.  Turning my head, I see Sam with the same confused expression I had moments before.

"where are we ?" I ask looking at my surroundings.

"There's no way.." He breathes in shock. Sam then says what i was thinking . What I wish I wasn't thinking..

"Floor 3 ..."
