I awake to the smell of disinfectant, wondering why. I feel around for Zach, but he is not here.
Why?
I get up and look around. The room is a mess, there is blankets and pillows on the floor, and everything fragile in the room is broken. I get up to start to run out of the room, but the door locked. I start banging on it, trying to get it open.
I need to think.
Relax.
I look out the key hole and see "do not cross" police tape all over my door.
What?
"Zach!" I yell. "Zach!"
No response. What is going on. Tears start streaming down my face, for I do not know what to do. Why would he leave me? What is happening?
********************************
I have been in this room for hours, and nothing has happened. I can't stay here forever! I'll starve to death!
I run up to the door and bang into it. A sharp pain goes up my back. I do it again. And again. It still doesn't budge, even though I have bruises all across my side.
This won't work. I need to think.
I search in the closet, trying to find something that would work as a crowbar. Nothing.
I need to think.
I grab the pole that is attached to the wall, the one that hods up hangers for clothes. And I pull.
I pull with everything that I got.
It doesn't come off.
"Dang it!" I mutter under my breath.
I need to think.
I search the bathroom for some bobby pins. I am not a bobby pin user, but there must be some in here.
I dig in all the closets and cupboards, searching for the pins.
Wait! What is this!
I find a bag at the bottom of the pile, that is filled with bobby pins.
Yes!
I open the bag, pulling out several bobby pins. I stuff the extra ones in my pocket for future use.
My hand trembles as I insert the pin into the door knob. I move it around, trying to get it to open.
A couple of minutes later, the door opens. I did it!
I walk out into the abandoned hallway, filled with more broken things, filled with more chaos.
I walk down to the elevator, pressing the button. It doesn't work. Aggravated, I run down the stairs.
I am running to fast, not paying attention where I'm going, that I slip on a puddle of, something. I start falling down the stairs. I was near the top, so I have a long fall.
Oh no.
Before I can think anything, I'm already on the ground.
********************************
I awake to a pounding head. Oh no! How long was I out?
I try to get up, my muscles sore from falling down, and banging on the door.
It's hard, but I manage.
Hardly.
I need to find Zach, I need to.
I start to run towards the door, trying to escape this abandoned building.
~Authors Note~
Ok, so I know it took me FOREVER to add a chapter. I know you are mad, I know.But please don't hate on me.
I am working on another book I will be publishing once I am finished it, or have made a LOT of chapters. Sometimes that seems better because I can give my readers a little something before they have to wait for another chapter.
I know it stinks.
Like how I did that to you.
I'm really sorry.
Please, though. Give me ideas! I'll see you guys later, thanks for reading.
Peace! ✌🏼️
