Survival

A New Path

A/N: Isn't it crazy ridiculous how much I've done already and I'm just now getting to the plot. Yep, these past 12 chapters I was only showing you the characters, and their significance to the story. But now we're getting somewhere...

"Kimberly!" Everyone shouted in unison

We were all in the hall watching her dreading. It was beginning to worry everybody, and we can't have that. The pacing, wheezing, and panic attacks were definitely not helping

I was glad when she stopped, we were finally moving on from worrying about her to Justin and Bruce "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, but where can they be?" She asked, sighing three deep breaths to get calm

Well, being Bruce's friend for nearly 9 months I can only guess he's at the mall shopping, but since it's night and he's with Justin-hopefully... I really don't know

We've tried calling ten times already. His phone is either on silent or lost because he would've answered or called back by now

Our favorite song is specialized as the ringtone. There hasn't been one time where we missed each other's calls, until now...

The all is lost moment

"Why don't we just tell Mrs.Harrison now?" I asked, we've been trying to avoid telling her for the last half hour

It's more than just a hide-in-seek game

They're really missing

I'm sure Mrs.Harrison would be happier for us to tell her than waiting... Oh I don't know, how ever long Kimberly wants to keep stringing this along

"No!" And I was right, I'm not putting up with this anymore

I rolled my eyes at Kimberly's yell of a no and just decided myself to to take the situation into my own hands. My hand hovered over the door knob before I twisted open without Mrs.Harrison's approval of a come in

She looked just as worried as Kimberly was, so she knew? My steps were silent and steady at the end of her room, I tapped on her shoulder two times as I waited for her to look up

What a waste of thirty minutes, if she knew, why didn't she call the cops already? "Karla" She shot up from the edge of the bed surprised at the sight of me inside the house

The thought of her not knowing I was here hit me upside the head. I completely forgot to tell her, it's just been such a blur since Kimberly's panic attacks

I turned my head back around to the ten curious eyes peeping behind the half creaked open door, waiting for them to come around and speak up, but they stood in place. "Mrs.Harrison... I- Hold on" I raised my pointer finger. If I'm going to do this, I got to do this right... Two people could be missing

I went behind the door and grabbed ahold of Kimberly's arm. I'm not responsible for any of this, I don't live here anymore. The fury and panic in Kimberly's eyes showed how much I'm going to pay for this later on, but I didn't mind

Better for her to say something than me; she'll most likely forget about her little 'pay back' anyways

I nudged her in the arm and then her shaky uneven breathing rib cage. She has a thing for worrying about things way too much, but I think it's now starting to get to the right amount "Speak up Kimberly"

Her earlobe is her attraction when she's nervous and she made it very clear that something was going on when she began to tug and pull on it till it got red
