Save Me (Shawn Mendes)

Ch. 35

Jaxson's POV

*Friday morning 3:00 am*

I ran toward the noises, thinking that they were shooting at my sister.

When I got to who was firing the guns, it was a man wearing grey pants and a black shirt and mask.

He was pointing the gun toward the ceiling.

"Woah, woah, woah! Stop! What are you doing?" I shouted, holding out my right arm.

"My job, now get out of my way before I shoot you and your friends," he said, nudging the gun behind me, toward the police.

I felt hopeless, I had no protection, no weapon, so all I could do was listen to him, so I looked down at the floor and moved to the side.

The man advanced toward the police men.

The police fought him for a bit until he ended up running past him, and turning down the hallway, where Bri's room was located.

Then, I started running.

Bri's POV

I remember waking up from a coma.

I looked over at the clock and it said 11:48 pm Saturday.

I looked around the room, and I saw a man sitting in a chair with a knife in one hand and gun in the other hand which was aimed straight for my face.

"Follow my orders and I won't hurt you," the man said, his deep voice rattling the room.

"W-Wha-" I said, my voice dry and raspy.

"Just follow my orders!" the man shouted.

"Now, take the knife," he said.

He stood up and held it out to me, and I took it. As I was grabbing it, I saw cuts all up and down my arms. I remember doing this, but I wasn't the one telling myself to do it. It was Matthew.

"C-can I ask you something?" I asked, my voice shaking.

"What is it?" the man asked.

"Who sent you here, and who are you?" I asked, sounding very tired and scared.

"My name is Jack, and I was sent here by Matthew," he replied.
