"Is He awake?"
"I don't know-"
"Get it ready."
"But-"
"Do. It."

A boy with blonde hair awoke out of a deep sleep. He gasped and looked around frantically, Yet nothing but the dark was to be seen. He tried to move his body, but to no avail. He was tied down to a chair by rope, Piercing into his stomach and arms whenever he made a slight movement.

Unexpectedly, he felt a cold, hard object press against the side of his Head. Followed by a click of what sounded like a gun, he felt his heart drop into his stomach. "He's awake now.."

He looked to his side, his so-called "best friend" Olivia, held the muzzle of a gun to his head. When she realized he was looking, she looked away. Her face was twisted with anxiety and fear, but from what was the question?

Sam, the boy with blonde hair, squinted his eyes to See in the dark ahead of him. However, the small patch of light coming from a lightbulb above him didn't help. Out of the dark and into the light, came a figure. A very tall one at that.

Sam tried to speak, only to realize his mouth was being shut forcefully by something. He started to struggle once he saw the figure's face. Making noises and moving around, ignoring the piercing pain from the rope tightly tied around his arms and stomach.

"There's no point in trying to escape, Samuel. You won't get anywhere, and even if you did? Olivia has a gun to your head, she'll do what's needed." The figure, who was revealed to be his ex "best friend" Jacob, had a sly smirk on his face.

It didn't make Sam feel any better about his situation. Sam stopped struggling and started to stare down Jacob in front of him. He was trying to ask questions, all of them however, coming out muffled and distorted.

"I should probably take the tape off of his mouth, what do you think, Olivia?" Jacob looked at her and she looked down at her feet.

"If he starts to get loud, hit him." Olivia's Head shot up and she looked at Jacob like a madman. "With the gun, I mean." He nodded.

"Are you crazy!? That'll leave him with bruises and maybe brain damage!!" She cried out.

"And? Nobody Can know he's down here. Cops find us and we're all doomed. Especially you, Olivia."

She looked down at her feet, she knew it was true. She was the one holding the gun After all, who would cops really believe?

Sam was listening to them Talk. He was horrified at what was happening, he had no answers. Who was actually in on this and why?

Jacob walked towards the Sam. He grabbed what seemed Like tape blocking his mouth and ripped it off. Sam flinched and winced in pain. "Alright, Samuel. You're going to answer questions for us, fail to answer or cooperate? Olivia will use the gun I told her to take."

Same Bit his lip And yelled out impulsively. "WHERE AM I?! WHY ARE DOING THIS?!"

Jacob just shook his head and gestures to Olivia. She sighed and raised the gun, hitting him in the head hard with it. He immediately shut up, as the hit gave him a bit of a migraine. Olivia was always heavy handed, but with a gun? Probably was heavier.

"Do it again, and Olivia will not hesitate to shoot you."

"What? I Never Said I'd shoot em'!! I just Said I'd hit em'!" Jacob shot her a death glare And she clinched her fist, only looking down to the ground instead of punching him like she wanted.

"I'm assuming, you want to know why You're down here?"

Silence, but a small nod came from Sam.

Jacob gestured to Olivia to explain it and while she did hesitate, at some point, she did.

"Y..you've been weird, Sam. I've known you since kindergarten, Sam. I used to call you Sammy!!" She cried out and then cleared her throat of any emotion. "Ever since Jacob went missing, on that hiking trip for the end of the year. He was only gone for a month, yet your whole demeanor changed."

Silence, so she continued. "You became distant and secretive. You wouldn't let me in, you wouldn't tell me what was wrong! Rumors started to spread about you, Sam. People say they've seen you on campus yelling out and looking for Jacob. Some say they've seen you go out the forest and come back muddy and bloody."

Sam opened his mouth to talk, but immediately shut it in fear of being shot or hit again.

"I knew you and Jacobs's relationship was tightly bonded. But you never got over it, even After He came back to us. Safe and sound." She got choked up in her words and Sam noticed tears falling from her eyes.

"He was Fine! But you weren't, rumors become more violent. YOU became more violent, paranoid, distant! Nothing was adding up, just what did you want!?"

"Oliv-" she glared at him and pressed the gun onto his head. "The moment Jacob And I saw you come out of the forest that day, Crying and covered in blood. We had to do something. You weren't okay. And if you weren't going to Tell us, we'd have to make you."

Silence but Sam noticed Jacob with a sly smile on his face. "I'm pretty sure that sums it up!! Now, Sammy Boy, Care to Tell us WHY you've been acting so weird?"

Jacob bent down and got into his face, Sam Looked away from his glaring eyes. Butterflies were in his stomach and his heart was beating faster than ever.

"Please.. just let me leave. I'll never tell anyone about this! Hell, I'll convince my parents to move away.. but please." Sam begged them, tears welling up in his eyes. All he wanted was to leave, his family was probably worried about him. How long was He Even down here for?!

"Sorry, but no. You could be a danger to your family, and if we let you go now and something happened, how would that make us feel?" Jacob frowned. "Jacob, Olivia. You guys are my best friends, Right? You can convince someone I'm sick or something, send me away. I don't care, but please.. let me leave." He started to sob, the gun to his head only made it worse. He was scared. What if He Died today? Would anyone ever realize it? If He dies, what will his family do?

"We love you, Sam. You know that, but because we love you so much, there is no way we can let you go! It's only common sense. Think about all the people you've hurt or made uncomfortable already!! Do you want that to happen again!?"

The room was filled with silence and nothing but Sam's crying and hiccuping. "Don't worry Sam, We'll take great care of you, okay? Just don't do anything rash, that's all!"

Jacob looked insane, He looked out of it. And while Sam knew exactly why, who would ever believe him? Not the officials, not his Friends, not his family, Not strangers. N o b o d y.

He was alone.
