Morning came slower then usual. I had slept inbetween matthew and Leah as I had less clothing then the others. I had laid awake for many hours as I was filled with a mix of fear and happiness. There was a chance of escape. i had worked out matthew was tall enough if he put Leah on his shoulders, I would keep watch. I shook matthew awake and he groaned. He rose from where he was laid and a few of his bones clicked. He then stretched, rubbed his eyes and yawned. I grinned at his morning appearance. A trail of dried white saliva trailed from his mouth and his hair stuck up in all directions making it appear static. He mumbled through slighted parted lips " God I wish I knew what time it was". I looked at him and he looked at me. Hopelessness filling my heart but my brain told me not to give up. Matthew must have sensed something was wrong as he placed his arm round me and grabbed my hand with his other free hand. " it's alright we are going to get out, want motivation, I'll marry you if we make it out alive" he said. I raised my eyebrows and managed a innocent smile through the terror I was feeling. Leah stirred and a noise came from outside.

A figure entered the room once again his face was covered and he slid our breakfast inbetween one of the bars Along with three cups of water. I grasped at the food and gave the first bits to leah and matthew. It was just bread but it was better then nothing at all. I smiled at the figure as I ate wondering if it would agitate him. He didn't move just stood watching us it was creepy as. When we had finished everything I shoved the tray out if one of the bars. He picked it up and I got a small glimpse of his face. There was dimples and a beauty spot just above his lip. I didn't recognise him what did he want? " when can we come out we have made no noise and have done what u want us to Leah is dieing" I said to him and pleaded desperately. The figure groaned " you will learn, sleeping with a celebrity what were u thinking"? I closed my eyes and thought hard i seriously had no idea what had happened that night. matthew muttered quickly " we did nothing I slept on the couch, I wouldnt dream of sleeping with her she's just a teen". I could see he was lying he was a terrible liar. The figure could see it to I guessed as he groaned loudly again and said " you don't learn do you I know what happened you can rot in here now for lying" . I screamed and climbed into the bars. I pulled my arms back and forth and the bars rattled and moved a little but not enough for them to come off. I cried out, did a little whimper and slumped onto the floor. Tears streamed down my face and through the blurred which the tears had created I saw the figure moving away. Matthew approached me from behind and then placed my hand on my shoulder. He leaned in close and whispered in my ear " let's get out of here". I smiled innocently and the tears stopped falling from my eyes. Matthew shook Leah and she stirred. Her head had just about healed where she had been hit to become knocked out and she finally looked as though she was in full health. She suddenly threw her arms around matthew and said " I always knew I could meet you". I rolled my eyes. Seriously she hadnt even known of his existence until I told her about him two years ago and she hated him at the time apparently he was to weird. Matthew knew what I was thinking he could read me like a book so he just looked at Leah and said " yeah I'm awesome right". Leah squealed hardly containing her suddenly acquired joy and love for matthew. We all stood up and looked at each other. I opened my mouth to speak but was interrupted almost instantly by Leah who said " so what we gunna do we can't just stay here, where do I help". Leah was the main part of the plan and was gunna be the main need so I was glad she had asked. I looked matthew in the eye and you could see he was clueless on how this was gunna work. I stood and thought for a second then said " Leah you will get on Matthews shoulders and he will lift you, try get noticed put ur arm through the hole and scream out or see if it opens more just try everything". Leah raised one of her eyebrows and looked at me with a piercing stare. "That's not gunna work besides why don't you get on Matthews shoulders you do everything else with matthew and don't give me a single thought" she said this out of nowhere and I was confused. " we don't have time for this Leah just do it, you wanna live don't you I have to keep watch" , I stood my ground and was beginning to become more and more annoyed why wouldn't she just do what I wanted? " Sky it's not always about you as much as you want it to be it's not, in future you will learn that sleeping with celebrity's especially my favourite one doesn't get you anywhere" Leah said aggressively. Me and matthew looked at each other and both spoke at the same time " we didn't sleep together ". Leah lowered her eyebrows to bring out a scowl " what goes round comes around, I'll do it as long as I can kiss matthew like really kiss him when we get out" she said with a cheeky yet blackmailing smile on her face. Matthew obviously wanted to object as his eyebrows were lowered and he was shaking his head. I was just gunna agree so we could get it over with " whatever you can have one cheeky go". Leah cheered and clapped her hands together then pulled on Matthews arm. He had sat down while he waited for us to make our decisions. Leah pulled his arm again and he reluctantly got up into his feet. Leah climbed up his thin body and onto his shoulders. Matthew grabbed her legs and she raised her arms. She could just reach the ceiling and could see the escape hole. Matthew stumbled towards it with Leah on his shoulders you could see he was struggling he wasn't very strong and I couldn't imagine leah being the lightest person in the world. She placed her arm out the hole and screamed " help someone help". Cars just continued to go by and nobody seemed to notice a difference. Leah shuffled about on Matthews shoulders then something cracked and matthew groaned out in pain. His body went to the left and then backwards. Leah clung on but it wasn't enough matthew fell back and as he did so Leah went down with him. Bang! Leah's head smashed into the wall at the other side of the small room we were in. Her body went limp and matthew instantly got up and rubbed his head. His hair moved back and fourth with the motions of his hands and he continued to groan. I ran to Leah he head had a huge crack in surely she was gone but no she still breathed. I couldn't lose her but I thought of the inevitable there was so much blood and with no medical attention it looked as though there was gunna be no recovery. I stroked Leah's face but got no response I prayed she was gunna be ok. Matthew also looked quite concerned these next few hours would be critical.
