TRAPPED

Chapter Thirteen: The Others pt. 1

AFTER LIAM'S DEATH (when they were put to sleep with the gas)

BROOKE & APRIL

Brooke slowly starts to open her eyes.

"Oh God, my head," she says, holding onto her forehead.

Her head is pounding. She turns around onto her other side and catches sight of April a few feet from her.

"What the hell happened?" she whispers.

April groans as she turns around too.

"April," Brooke says quietly.

"5 more minutes," April mumbles.

Brooke rolls her eyes.

"April!"

"Whaaaaatt?" April groans.

Brooke sighs.

"Wake up."

April yawns and slowly sits up.

"Where are we again?"

"The old abandoned building. We're on the verge of dying. James and Kira are gone. This ringing any bells?"

April's face falls. Both of their hearts sting at Brooke's words.

"Shit, I thought it was a dream."

Brooke shakes her head.

"Wait, that means-" April's eyes widen.

The both of them then look at each other.

"Liam.." they say simultaneously.

April covers her mouth with her hand.

"Oh my gosh," she says.

Tears start to fill her eyes.

"T-that was real. Liam's gone."

Brooke nods with a defeated look on her face.

"What do we do?" April mumbles.

"First, we need to find the others. They're obviously not here with us and they could be in danger," Brooke responds assertively.

"Brooke, Liam is dead! How are you not reacting?!"

She looks down at the floor and swallows.

"I am.."

"No you're not!"

"It was my fault, April! You don't think I'm feeling anything right now?!" Brooke finally shouts.

"I was so focused on getting out of those ropes that I didn't realize how behind Liam was! It's my fault he's dead!"

The room fills with silence. Brooke sniffles and wipes away the tears that had formed while shouting.
