Locked In (Heart)

twenty five

WENDY'S POV

the room fell so silent as it felt like the sounds of my heart beats were as loud as police sirens wailing.

i couldn't even bring myself to move my feet, my stomach started to feel heavy and i wanted to puke.

"no....." tolkien said in a daze as he started walking towards the box that bebe was in and opening it revealing her in a curled up posistion. she was not moving, "no, no, no, no."

"w-w-why's she not moving?! why is she n-n-n-not moving?" jimmy asked damien who was just wordlessly staring at her box.

"she must've chosen to sink—" damien said until kenny walked up to him and pushed him into the wall hard.

"shut the fuck up with that bullshit," kenny snarls angrily, "you're fucking crazy! she could be dead and you're talking like this is an english class just shut UP!"

"don't say that," i said, "don't...don't say she's d—" i could even finish the sentence when the tears started to flow and i began to felt weak in the knees as i suddenly hit the floor.

there was absolutely nothing that i felt other than numbness as everything started to feel hazy.

here i am: currently in a school at night, which was supposed to be the best night of the year surrounded by people who i enjoy, staring at the lifeless body of my best friend who was trapped in a box.

not only am i feeling nothing but pain, but guilt is trickling in at the thought of this being prevented.

if only i knew this twisted and fucked up game was happening, i would've shut that shit down.

this has totally blindsided me and now all i can do is replay the last 5 minutes in my head over and over again.

and for what? why did this even happen? why did damien decide to do this?

i don't even have the energy to wonder or even ask.

just a twisted nightmare this all has to be.

i suddenly felt a presence next to me, i didn't have to look up for me to realize it was nichole. lola, esther, and jenny following in suit in crowding around me and crying.

the conversations around me sounding like absolute nothing but everything at the same time. everyone is just in distraught.

everyone but one person that is.

"she chose her destiny," damien said in the middle of this chaos, "she chose to number 1 which shows her true colors of initiation as well as loneliness—"

"i'm gonna sack the shit out of him," kenny says already on his way to do just that for tolkien to hold him back before even more chaos erupts.

"she didn't chose anything, you maniac! you forced us!" cartman yelled which had everyone else agreeing with his statement.

"did i though? i didn't threaten your life or anything. you guys decided to go through with it," damien challenged.

on top of being fucking psychotic, we can also add that he's a gaslighter to his resume.

"BECAUSE NO ONE THOUGHT IT WOULD END UP LIKE THIS!" cartman yelled, "THIS NIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE TIME OF OUR LIVES AND NOW OUR CLASSMATE IS DEAD."

"STOP SAYING THAT!" i snap, still in disbelief, "she isn't! she can't be. i refuse to believe this."

"WELL SHE FUCKING IS," cartman yelled and started cursing to himself while butters finally starts to cry amidst all of this.
