Bound To You

seven

With George and Kiara still sitting comfortable on both sides of me I turned my back to my brother, "What are you doing?" He asked.

"If something sneaks up on me they're getting you first." I joked, finally feeling calm now that we were outside. I leaned my back against his shoulder.

"I see someone is feeling better." Kiara snickered, also turning her back to me and leaning into my lap.

"Guys!" We heard Sams voice call out and we peeked up, looking at the entrance of the tunnel, "We're going to the punishment block!" As they emerged I saw the look of excitement on their faces. We had all heard their echoed cheers a little bit ago so they just have gotten more ghost activity.

"Y/n, you feeling up for it?" Colby asked. It was nice how caring the duo was, they were genuine people which helped me feel safer in the given circumstances.

"Yeah," I pushed myself to my feet as my best friend and brother followed, "I think so."

"You don't have to if you don't want to, we're not forcing you." Wilbur reassured, walking over and standing next to me.

"Yeah, we can sit in shifts with you so you don't have to go in the buildings." Dream added.

"Guys, trust me, it's fine." I told them, not wanting anyone to make too big of a deal out of my panic attack.

"You're sure?" Sapnap looked at me, his eyes full of seriousness and concern. I felt Wilbur interlock our fingers, squeezing my hand gently.

"She said it's fine." He repeated my words to Sapnap. I once again felt the tension between the pair, a feeling of guilt washing over me knowing I had somehow caused it.

George clapped his hands together and began walking, "Alrighty, guys, let's get on with the investigation."

The tension between Wilbur and Sapnap could still be cut with a knife, making me think something was said within the tunnels. That gave me a pit of anxiety. As we walked I drowned everyone else's voices out, letting my thoughts take over.

If I truly do have unresolved feelings for Sapnap, is it wrong of me to be with Wilbur? Am I selfish for knowing I deserve a man who would never break my heart? No, Sapnap hurt me and I promised myself to hate him for the rest of my life.

"Hey," Kiaras voice pulled me back to reality. I looked up to see we were standing in front of yet another old building, "You good?"

"I wish everyone would stop asking me that." I groaned quietly in response. She knew I wasn't upset or annoyed with her, I could tell by the way she looked at me. She understood my thoughts better than I did sometimes.

"This is the punishment block." Colby announced. He then gestured for Sam to stand in front of the camera to record a snippet for their video.

"Alright guys," Sam began, "We are in front of the punishment block, AKA, the reason why this is called 'Hell on Earth'."

"Let's go and be punished." Wilbur said, walking towards the door as we laughed at his comment, all of us taking it the dirtiest way we possibly could.

After entering the building Wilbur pointed his flashlight down a hallway, "Just know guys, if we see something walking down there our only way out is towards it."

"Thanks for the reminder." I said, annoyance and fear mixing in my words.

"If a ghost can touch me, I can touch it. Which means we're having an afterlife WWE match." Kiara joked to me, making us both burst out laughing.

"I put my money on the ghost." Dream held up a dollar bill which made George dig into his pocket for some cash.

Finding a five he held it up, "My money is on Kie."
