Shaking and sniffing I placed my head on Codys shoulder and fell asleep. Then not much after I fell asleep cody picked me up and gentally dropped me on a matress and covered me up with his jacket. I was sure he was singing "On My Mind" but my brain was so blurred up I could barely tell. Closing my eyes once more slowly, the last thing I saw before I fell asleep was Cody and his perfectly structured face.
Codys POV
I felt bad. I should have saved margaret I could have taken that guy out when he had her but I was too weak. I went to lay on the other matress, leaving Margaret sleep and I just stared at the blank roof thinking of ways we could escape. Then it came to me. I know that tooth floss is super strong it can cut you easily. Since the window is barred up with 3 bars, if we keep on sawing through the bar, we may be able to fit through the window! So I jumped to my feet looking through the bathroom cabnet for floss. Nothing. But I always keep floss in my jacket pocket so again I rushed over to it and got it. I decided to wait to tell Margaret the good news in the morning. We may escape .
Margarets POV
I woke up to the peering sun in my eyes. Jeese im tired. Then I realized I was still in that creepy concreate cell with Cody Simpson! I screamed a little when cody was laying looking at me. Gosh Cody you scared me! "Sorry. Hey guess what? I have great news! Tooth floss." Tooth floss? Is Cody still ASLEEP? That was a bit rando... What do you mean by tooth floss..? "We can saw through the bars on the window and escape!" You know Codys smart when teeth come in the conversation. He stood up walked to the window and sawed a little bit. "Margaret you gotta see this come here!" I rolled over and almost fell. "Look at the marks the floss did to this bar!" I looked and for sure the bar already was cut through the first layer. Cody, your ingenious!
Codys POV
My hands hurt from hours of cutting through the bars. So far we have one bar off. Margarets in the bathroom fixing her hair preparing to escape we have all our stuff outside the window and.... MARGARET I GOT IT I GOT IT! Lets GO NOW! "Im coming!" I helped her get out first and then she pulled me up through too. We grabbed our stuff and bolted towards the deserted barn across the way. I grabbed the bars and put them in Margarets bag she found in the cell. I kept looking back at the dirty old cell and made sure that man isnt following us or can see us.
Margarets POV
I had to keep running. I felt like I was running a marathon! We were almost there. I think I see a car up ahead. Maybe were saved! Cody look! Maybe we can escape! We got up to the rusty car. Empty of all items. The whole barn and car seemed to be desserted but just to be sure, we both looked around a bit first. Cody, i found some keys and an old tool box! "The car does need some work. I could do some repairs, my dad and I always do this stuff!" I give Cody the toolbox and keys. Ill be right back Cody, im going to see if I can find food in the desert. I wont be far. "Alright. Please be careful!" So I walked around the corner and set off. I found a
Cactus, an oasis and some edible grains. So i put them in my back, by the time I got back Cody was finished the repairs.
Codys POV
My hands were full of oil and dirt from the car. "I found some food and water over here. Lets try to drive over to it. Do you have a license?" Yes of course. So i got in the seat and margaret got in the passengers seat and we drove and collected everything we needed. It was dawn and we were on top of a hill that showed a beautiful valley of sand. The sun was setting so i layed out my coat and we both sat on it and watched the sun go down. I decided to hold her hand. You know, Margaret even though we have been kidnapped
I still am having a little fun. All this adventure and freedom no fans, parents, paparazzi. "Yeah. Sheesh you must be relaxed more than usual." I looked her in the eyes. Ever since we met, ive liked you. Alot. So. I want to- she leaned in and kissed me quiet. It was quite long.
Margarets POV
His lips were so soft and comforting. Loving. I felt warm and tingly. I backed away and looked at him for a moment. Cody? Is this real or is this fake... This whole adventure felt so much like a dream almost. "Im sure this will proove it more." He leaned in and we kissed again this time he hugged me and I felt like melting in his arms. I swear Love is real! I definetly was experiencing it at the moment at least.
Codys POV
I think shes the one for me. Im just gonna get it out there. Margaret, will you be my girlfriend? Please? "Um ahaha.. Cody... Of course!" YES! I mean...cool... Im so happy its not even funny. Time to get some shut eye. We both fell asleep. She was in my arms and I swear I fell asleep smiling to myself.
Margarets POV
I woke up on Codys jacket...but not Cody. Oh no... Where is Cody?! I stood up quickly. CODY?! Where are you?! A very faint callback from behind the oasis yelled "Im over here." So I grabbed one of the bars from the window and ran over behind where the voice came from. He was standing there infront of a huge hut. Seems brand new. Did you just build this?.. "Yep. Took me a while but I did it myself." Oh my gosh! Thats amazing! He even made an..xbox? Out of wood...? I dont know.. What ever. ITS SO FLIPPING COOL! "Thanks! Im glad cha think so."
Codys POV
DAMN am I glad she likes the hut. I built it so we could survive. I wrote SOS out of wood in the dunes and made a fire in the sand. I wish the car had gas. Walking would take forever we dont know what way to even go! So how could we start. Wed have to start in the night. That way itd be a better chance. So tonight, we leave.
Margarets POV
Cody has a great plan we should really get inside the hut and rest for a few days though before our trek. Maybe gather and make new things. Easy, I took a class like this once in grade 6, I have a great memory of things we could do in the dessert. First on the list is DEFINETLY food and water. So the oasis could easily be a big help there. Check. Next, cleanliness. Toothbrush out of.... Leaves? Maybe water and sweet honeysuckle? And we could make hair items out of plants. This is starting to seem a lot more easy than I thought it would be. I just hope cody built a door so no wild animals get in. Maybe he built a couch so I could write a journal on wood with berry juice from the blackberry bush. Or I could write an SOS letter and throw it towards what way Cody thinks the city is. Maybe it will blow in the cold nights breeze into someones hands who may help us!
