You stay quite far at the back of the group as you walk towards an unknown point, with each step your anxiety grew for wherever you were heading.
Harry leads you to a long block of flats that looked identical to every other one in the Rat Run. You were confused as to what was so special about this particular one as you followed him inside. There was nothing around that seemed out of the ordinary or caught your eye as a way out. Then again, if it was that obvious then people would constantly be escaping.
He lead the group up onto the roof and waited until everyone and emerged from the stairwell before speaking.
"Now we jump." He spoke causing everybody go into a shouting frenzy, everyone pointing at each other as to who was going first.
"Jump! Really?" You asked as you pushed through the people and came face to face with him.
"Yes now you want to go first?" He asked looking smug.
"Not particularly." You snapped at him as he raised an eyebrow.
"You don't trust me?" He questioned causing you to scoff.
"You just led half of this group to their deaths in a tunnel, so excuse me if I'm a bit cautious when you tell me to jump off of a building." You sassed back as he sighed in defeat.
"Well someone has to go first." He shrugged, giving you a pleading look.
"You're the leader, why don't you?" You asked as he shook his head.
"How do I know you'll all follow me?" He answered your question with a question, it infuriated you beyond belief at how stubborn he was. You were very stubborn yourself, but hated trying to argue with someone who was just as stubborn as you.
"How do I know that there's something down there to break my fall?" You quizzed as he shook his head and shrugged again.
"You don't." He smirked as you rolled your eyes.
"I'll go." A voice piped up and you turned to look at your brother who raised a hand, wincing at what he had gotten himself into.
"Great, at least we know not all of the family are cowards." Harry mumbled the last bit so that only you could hear.
"At least I'm not as big of a hypocrite as you." You grumbled and looked at Michael. "Are you sure, you don't have to do this."
Do you:
Let him jump first (3)
Or volunteer yourself to jump first (20)
