"Brayden get up!" I heard someone shout in my ear. I jumped up and gasped.

"God Four, did you have to be so loud!" I shouted back and he smirked.

"You have training to go to." He said and offered his hand for me to take. I grabbed and stood up to see everyone else knocked out on the floor.

"Should we wake them or?" I said and he laughed.

"Let's just leave them, see if they ever wake up." He said and walked towards the door and I followed. It was absolutely silent outside, no one was around. Must be pretty early then.

"Okay, you go in and I will wake everyone up." Four said and I nodded. I went in and sat on my bed and waited for him to wake everyone.

"Training room in 30 minutes! Don't be late!" Four shouted, shot me a wink then walked out. I heard multiple groans from around the room, and I felt the same.

"Morning!" Liv chirped from beside me.

"Hey." I mumbled and she giggled.

"My head isn't sore at all, is yours?" She asked and I nodded. I thought back to last night and this morning. Liv, Jack and Matt all weren't there when I got up.

"Where did you disappear to last night?" I asked and she blushed.

"Well Jack and I came back here, I thought Matt was still with all of you." She said and I shook my head.

"No, he wasn't there when I got up either. What did you and Jack do?" I asked her and smirked.

"Ehm, you know stuff." She said and turned even redder.

"Yeah okay." I said sarcastically then got up and went to get ready. After about 5 minutes, Liv asked me to come to breakfast and I agreed.

"So did you have fun last night?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yeah! It was great! My favourite dare was yours." She smirked and I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Of course it was!" I said and nudged her lightly. We were nearing the chasm area when we heard shouts all around us and people rushing around.

"There's a body over the edge!" I heard someone shout an I gasped and looked at Liv.

"We gotta go see." She said and I nodded. We jogged over to the chasm to see 4 men pulling on ropes, obviously getting the body out.

"Almost there!" I heard one of them shout. Just then, they heaved a body onto the concrete floor and I looked to see who it was and if I knew them. I heard Liv gasp beside me and I stepped closer and studied the face.
Dark hair wet with the water, blue eyes rolled back into his head. It was Matt. I stared at him in shock. No, he can't be dead.
I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

"Matt?" I whispered to myself and walked over to the edge to look at him.

"Do you know him?" One of the men asked me but I froze.

"Yes." I whispered.

"Who is he?" He asked me but I couldn't tear my eyes away from Matt's.

"He's called Matt." I said.

"Thank you." The man said and I nodded lightly. I kneeled down and shut his eyes with my hand and kissed his forehead.

"Goodbye Matt." I whispered and stood up straight again. I turned around to see Jack and Liv crying and hugging each other then saw Eric standing to the left of them, looking at me. He looked at me with worried eyes and I just shook my head. I walked over to my friends and joined in with their hug.
