I think Ranboo should say goodbye to his toes (btw i tried to post this on twitter but nobody saw it so I'm putting it here instead)

Warnings: Past abuse, mention of alcohol, flashbacks, mention of injury, and very rushed ending (I'm sorry but I just couldn't figure out what to do at the end)

this is probably the first bad chapter of this book. I'm excited for future chapters tho

We drove until we reached the stadium that we had planned the vlog in. I had been very surprised when I had heard that Tommy had rented a whole stadium for a simple game of hide-and-seek tag (which was an idea he stole from Mr.Beast), but apparently he was somehow rich. And he had forced Wil, Phil and Tubbo to help him pay for it. 

Phil's car still wasn't here because they had gone to get some supplies, leaving Wil's car full of people mostly alone. If you ignore the camera crew and all that. 

Once I managed to escape the car, I stretched as Tubbo and Aimsey excitedly talked about short people and Wilbur texted Tommy on his phone. 

"Toms says we can go inside and look around while we wait" Wil said and the two short people looked at each other with a mischievous glint in their eyes and then turned to me. Before I could do anything, both my hands were grabbed by the short people and I was dragged towards the building, where Tom's group were unlocking the door. 

Wil stayed behind with the crew, but I was dragged into the stadium by the two british people, who had been here a few times now. I would have been fine staying with the crew, but since it was my first time here and there was a good chance that I would get lost, Aimsey and Tubbo wanted to show me around. Meaning I was dragged around on a 30 minute tour for a building that would take me 5 minutes to walk around. 

When the tour was finally over, Aimsey dragged me back towards the front, and Tubbo walked slightly behind us, pointing out every single good area to hide. From what Tommy had already planned, he and Techno would be the seekers while the rest of us hid, which sucked for me given I was 6'6 and all the hiding places Tubbo was pointing out were for people much shorter then me. 

When we finally reached the front, I was handed a small camera to attach to a harness I was being forced to wear along with a can of silly string that I could shoot at the seekers if they got too close. 

And then, we switched all the cameras on and Tommy did a stupid intro before telling us that we had 5 minutes to hide and then they would go to find us. 

Like any smart person, I ran until they couldn't see me and then walked slower, looking around for a place to hide that would also give me lots of room to run. Which was practically impossible because every spot I saw that was the right size for me didn't leave enough room to run. 

As it was my only choice, I slid into a closet full of things and sat down in the corner, talking quietly to my camera in the dark as I waited for someone to come find me. 

Thankfully it wasn't long until I heard the sound of shoes in the hall outside and I shut up, shuffling farther behind the piece of metal that separated me from the door. 

Then the door swung open and I held my breath as the cold eyes of Techno scanned the room. And then by some miracle, he groans and closes the door, darkness falling back over the room. 

I don't continue breathing until I'm sure he's gone, and when I finally do, my body freaks out, unsure of how I'm alive. 

I stay in that closet for a long time, listening as Aimsey, Tubbo, Phil, Wilbur and Niki all get caught and hear them all complaining as they are forced to help Tommy and Techno look around the stadium a few more times.
