~Katherine POV~

We finally arrived. I saw Niki and Aimsey and ran up to them and gave them a hug. Then we all headed inside. We checked in and headed towards the room. We were almost to the room when I looked to my side and saw the person I wanted to see... Matthew. Then all of a sudden someone pushed me and him into the room and the door shut.

Now I was stuck with him. Then I heard the intercom come on.

"As you see you're trapped in here, you may not leave till you make up." Makayla said

Crap.

I tried to find my phone and earbuds but I couldn't. I started to worry and my breathing picked up.

"Makayla, can you please play my Jamming out playlist on spotify," I said

"Yeah," she responded

Then I heard Model Buses through the speakers. It wasn't too loud but it was enough. I finally regained my breathing and I sat on the ground. Matthew walked in front of me and sat down. I didn't have the courage to look at him. He tried to grab my hand but I pulled away.

"Katherine," he says

I didn't respond

"Just listen to me please. Going out without telling you was wrong. Lying to you was wrong. I messed up. I hurt you and I regret it so much," he says. I heard him start to cry

"You don't have to forgive me. I just wanted you to know.... I love you Katherine," he says

I start crying too. I look up to meet his eyes. He looked as if he hadn't slept in a while. His eyes were red and puffy. I didn't know if I should forgive him or not but I had a gut feeling telling me to forgive him.

"You know you messed up real bad. But for some reason I feel like I should forgive you... so I will," I say

"Really?" he says

"Really," I said and we hugged.

"You know I really missed you," he says

"I missed you too," I said

"NOW KISS!" Makayla says through the intercom

"We should probably give the people what they want," he says

"U-unless you don't want to then that's o-," he stutters and I cut him off by closing the gap between us.

We pull away and stand up.

"We should probably do this escape room, shall we?" I say

"We shall," and we got up and started working.
