The Escape Project. // Toy Soldiers

SEVEN.

*Tevys pov*

"Joey! Joey!" I screamed holding onto his had waiting to see his eyes open. But they never did.

"W- what happened in there?" I turned to Harley. "He- we - I didn't."
She mumbled. "Hey, hey calm down. It's okay breathe." "Haley, Heidi come with me inside with Harley please." Taking Harley's hand and walking into our room. And sitting down. All of us on the floor.

"So what happened?" I asked again.
"They wanted us to leave..." "They said we could go because of who our dad was." "But Joey wasn't having it. You know how much he hates dad." She said in between sobs.

"They wanted you to leave? How did Joey end up with a gun?"

"He started yelling and we got taken out of the office. And on the way back outside. He hit the guy a few times. Grabbed the gun ,and told me to run." "And we'll then you know the rest. " she said starting pointlessly onto the ground.

We all just sat there. No talking, no questions. Just the sound of us breathing. The boys had returned back awhile ago... Nothing... Just pure silence.

It seemed like days before we even left the room again. But we had to get up for role call. Dragging ourself outside we sat with out backs against the wall just looking around. Not saying a thing. Until Rickey spoke. " Okay! I know we're all upset. But we have to get out of here. Joey wouldn't want us to just sit on our asses. And wait for help."

"Yeah but where do we start?" I asked still not looking up. Playing with the dirt on the ground.

"We have it all! In J-joe... In Joeys notebook. It's all there. We can do this!" He stuttered

"It's not going to work!" Billy yelled looking up at everyone who was now staring at him.

"We don't know unless we try." Harley said chiming in. "Yeah Billy we have to try at lest. " Heidi said.

"Okay whatever. But if something else happens. It's not my fault."

* Ding Ding*

"Well here goes nothing" Snuff said.
"Okay remember. Brianna, Yogurt and I will go to the office. You guys stay in the cafeteria with snuff and wait for me to come back. And get everyone." Billy demanded as we walked into the cafeteria.

"Brianna! Come on its time. " billy said tapping my should and heading towards the bathroom. Checking to see if anyone was watching as I slipped into the boys bathroom. Meeting yogurt and Billy. "Now what?" I asked. " we craw threw the air duct. And it will lead us straight to the office. Me and you will drop down and get the chip. While yogurt tells us what to do. And then we head back to the cafeteria. And help everyone into the basement. "Okay got it." I said in agreement.

Jumping into the air duct I followed Billy. Yogurt behind us. Ready? I herd Billy ask. "As I'll ever be." I said jumping down from the ceiling. Onto the desk. "Okay so grab the plane and open it up. What do you see?"

"A blue chip. "

"Okay good now Brianna open up the box next to the explosives and get the blue chip out of there!"

"Wait ! There is no blue chip!!" "Theres only red!"

"Well.. I guess that must be it then."

"You better hope that's it! Now what?"

"Okay Billy take out the blue chip. And Brianna take out the red one and switch them quickly. "

"Okay do-"

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING IN HERE.?" A loud voice boomed threw the door..

"Brianna hurry!" Billy said.

Turning to run. The only thing I could hear was the sound of gun shots and people speaking Spanish. Until feeling a sharp pain in my side and falling to the ground. Only seeing Billy fight with the man trying to break free of his grip.

Finally looking down at my side. And seeing warm thick blood running down my side. All over my hands and clothes. "BRIANNA!" I herd Billy say one last time before the world turned black.

"No! This wasn't supposed to happen this way!" I faintly herd Billy say. As a huge crash came sounding like a window breaking.

"Brianna can you hear me!" Slowly opening my eyes to see a tear stained Billy and yogurt. And a group of what looked like swat team members.

"look Bri. Helps here! Our plan worked! They came to help!"

Was the last thing I herd before using all my last energy I could to faintly smile at them before my life went completely blank.

*Billys POV.*

I sat holding Brianna in my arms.
Nothing absolutely nothing was happening. "Brianna?" I managed to choke out. " I think she's gone man." I herd yogurt cry from beside me.

"I thought this was it... Everything was going to be okay after this. No more fear. No more sneaking around to help get us out." I cried looking at Brianna's limp body. Giving her hand one last squeeze before laying her back down on the ground. Turning around to find.

Harley, Heidi, Rickey, Hank, Haley and snuff all standing in the doorway crying. "What what happened?" Harley said sliding down the wall. "

" I -I tried we got everything done. And they guy came in. I told her to run. But it... It just didn't work. I tried to get out of the guys grip to help her. But I couldn't and then the swat team came in and I ran straight to her. But she was bleeding really bad. Th- there was nothing I could do." I cried out

"kids" I herd the dean say.

"Y-yes?" I could hear Haley barley get the words out.

"I know you've been threw a lot and you just lost two of your closest friends. But I would like to say thank you. For saving our lives. I know you couldn't save everyone. But you saved a lot of us. Thank you."

"So this is it? The escape project? It's over? " Rickey asked.

"Yeah but so much for we're all getting out alive.." I said not wanting to realize I had lost two friends within two days.

"Guys?" Harley asked.

"Yes?" We all said in unison.

"Can I have a hug?"
Getting up we all hugged one another.

"Well guys we made it out. Here's to new lives. "

Shout to me not knowing how to end it.
