Chapter 16- "At least we're not last"

I carefully unfold the unneatly folded piece of paper in my hands. My eyes scan the writing, my heart beating faster than a train. It reads:

Hey bitches. You were taking too long so we ditched ya. Sorry not sorry. Good luck finding your way out. I would say come and find us once you're free but we will probably be at home asleep by then and I'll be pissed if you wake me up so please don't bother. C ya - Wes and the rest.

"Son of a potato." I say dropping the note on the floor in the process.

"A potato?" Jackson questions bending over to pick up the note.

"He called me a bitch I wanted to be original."

"Wes and the rest? Is he fucking for real?" Jack says after reading the letter. "They ditched us wow. We didn't even take that long." He says looking at me. "If we get out of here and it is late I'm going straight round Wes' house and I'm waking him up."

"I'm joining too."

We hear some footsteps nearby and I suddenly remember why I was so scared to read the letter in the first place. The person watching. The steps get closer and closer until they are just around the corner.

Jackson and I move closer to one another our eyes glued to the entry way and we wait for the person to come around the corner. Only not one one person comes into view, two do.

Relief floods through my body when I see Tara and Marley. They look at us and we look back at them. Marley's lips are covered in smudged pink lipstick, Tara's lipstick. Tara's lips are also smudged. If we hadn't spotted them making out it would still be clear as day.

"Well at least we're not last." Jackson says.

"We're not last either by the look of it." Tara says. So Jackon hands them the note. They finish reading it and share a look.

"You two have got a little something." I say pointing along my lips. "There." They both quickly wipe their mouths and we begin to walk towards the way out of the maze.

"What if one other pair isn't here though and they wait here for us?" Marley says as we begin to exit the middle of the maze.

"Good point." I say. "Let's leave the note." Jackson takes the note and puts it back underneath the bench before returning over to us. I can just imagine a little kid finding that and reading it aloud to his parents. 'Mommy what does bitches mean?'

The route out of the maze takes way less time than the way in did. No wonder they got there so quick, this is the way most of them went.

I still feel like someone is watching me practically the whole way out but it seems to decrease in intensity until we get out of the maze and it feels like it's been lifted. I start to feel more relaxed.

We make it our mission to find the rest of our friends and when we do spot them it's only because of the massive turquoise unicorn grasped in Wes' arms. They are stood in a queue for some sort of food. First they leave us in a maze and ditch us then they buy food without us.

"Not gonna buy your forgotten friends any?" I say raising my eyebrows dramatically and crossing my arms.

Wes slowly turns towards us. "Hi guys." He greets with a cautious smile. When he gets no reaction he continues. "I didn't want to leave you. It was their fault." He says panickedly pointing to the four people beside him.

"That's not true. Cassie and I had only been there a second when he ripped the pen and paper out of her hand and began scribbling the note."

"You little snitch" He says glaring at Quinn.
