Difficult Decisions

Just Like A Horror Game

Georgia's POV

I wake up in a dark room. "What the hell? Probably a dream Georgia. Calm down..." I say to myself. Don't cry. Don't cry. I start crying. "Georgia?" I hear someone whisper. "Matt?" I feel arms wrap around me. OH SHIT. "AH!" Tears are streaming down my face now. "Georgia! Georgia it's ok. It's Matt." I breathe a sigh of relief. "I'm scared Matt..." I cry into his chest. "Don't worry, so am I." It seems like we're the only ones awake. "Georgia? Matt?" A familiar deep voice calls. "MARK!" I stand from the floor. I feel around the room, when I meet in an embrace with Mark. "Hey, it's ok..." Then it hits me. "WHERES ALEX?!" I get on my hands and knees and search for her. As I'm making my way around, I feel her sun glasses in a pool of warm liquid. In closer inspection, I realised... It was blood. "OH GOD! ALEX?!" I run frantically around the room, hitting walls at every given moment. "Georgia! Calm down!" Mark says. "I can't calm down! She's probably dead!" I'm full blown crying. I feel bruises forming, from throwing myself at undetectable walls. "Mark. Don't yell! She's scared!" Matt counters. I feel him bring me into a hug. "Shhh.... It's ok." He whispers. Somewhere in the room, I hear Mark sigh. "There has to be a light source somewhere. I've played enough horror games to know, that they don't just lock  you in a room. It's a puzzle." His footsteps grow louder then softer, as he walks around the room. "Found it." A clicking noise is heard. The light flicker a bit, then finally settle.

Alex's POV

My eyes flutter open. "What the..." I sit up properly. "Alex?" I hear Ryan say. "Ok. I've seen some spooky shit, but this is scary." My voice cracks. I always try to be... Tolerant, hard... But, this... This is- "Alex!" I feel arms tighten around me. "Ryan... Where's Sean?" I feel tears form. "I don't know... But I'm here too..." He sounds hurt. I guess I did just completely ignore his care and affection and ask where another guy was. "I know... Thank you..." He holds me tighter. "Alex? Ryan?" That Irish accent. "Sean?" He joins the hug. "I thought I lost you guys." We pull away. Georgia... "WHERE IS GEORGIA?!" I run around frantically. I feel around the walls. Oh no. Her head phones... They're hung up against a wall... Covered in blood. I immediately fall to my knees. "No... No no no no NO!"  I feel something familiar licking my hand. "Lucifer!" He jumps onto me. "Hey buddy..." I hear running behind me. "GET AWAY FROM ME! GEORGIA'S DEAD! SHE'S GONE! LEAVE ME ALONE!" It stops. "Alex... It's just me..." Sean whimpers. I sigh. "I'm sorry. I just found her headphones and... I think she's dead." I break down all over again. "Hey guys? I think I found a light switch. The lights flicker on. We're in a cold metal room. One door, and a metal pressure plate on the floor.

Georgia's POV

We're in a metal room, with a single door and a pressure plate. "GET AWAY FROM ME! GEORGIA'S DEAD! SHE'S GONE! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Alex? "ALEX!" No answer. I could have sworn that was her. I walk toward the wall. "ALEX!" I wait a bit. "GEORGIA?!" I bang on the wall. "OH MY GOD! YOU'RE OK! WHO'S WITH YOU?!" I ask. "SEAN, RYAN, AND LUCIFER!" That's weird. "WHO'S WITH YOU?!"  She asks. "MATT AND MARK." We're both silent. "WHERE'S MATTHIAS AND CRY?!" We say simultaneously.

Matthias's POV

"What the hell happened?" I ask cry. "I don't know." We sit in the room in silence. "It looks like a puzzle..." He says. "WHERE'S MATTHIAS AND CRY?!" I stand immediately. "WE'RE HERE!" I bang on the wall. "THANK GOD YOU'RE OK!" Georgia yells back. "Pressure plates... Doors... Multiple rooms... I think I got it..." Cry whispers to himself. "Well tell me!" He looks up. "If all of our rooms are identical... We should be able to step on the pressure plates at the same time to open the door right? It's just a theory..." I nod in agreement. "A GAME THEORY!" I hear Mark and Georgia say at the same time. "HOW CAN YOU BE LAUGHING AT A TIME LIKE THIS?!" I hear Alex yell. "Hey! We're just trying to brighten the mo-" "WE'RE GONNA DIE, AND YOU'RE LAUGHING?!" "CALM DOWN GUYS!" Cry yells. Silence. "Did I just hear cry yell?" I shake it off. "Ok! Since the room I'm on is in the middle, I'll call three two one and one person in each room will jump onto their pressure plate! Got it?!" Cry steps up to the plate. "3...2...1!" The wall furthest from us moves closer. "WHAT HAPPENED?!" Georgia screeches. "No one in our room jumped! Sorry! Next time!" Alex yells. "3...2...1!" The wall moves closer. I've got about a metre space between me and the other wall. I don't want it to end like this. "GUYS! ITS NOT THAT FUCKING HARD!" I look over to cry. He takes in a deep breath. "3..." My palms are sweaty. "2..." My knees are shaking. "1!" "IM SORRY AMANDA!" The door clicks open.

Georgia's POV

"IM SORRY AMANDA!" Is what I hear as I launch through the door. I land on something soft. Cushion? No. Matthias. "MATTHIAS!" I look around me. Everyone's here. We made it. "ALEX!" I run towards her and tackle her. "THANK GOD!" Tears are streaming down both our faces. We open our eyes. She's wearing my headphones. I'm wearing her sunglasses. "If I was gonna die... I at least needed a part of you with me..."
