The purge // ROWLANDS

7:03pm*

Lauren's pov*
I don't know what Alex was doing but she was taking her time. Maybe it was somebody she know or something? The voices did sound slightly familiar.
I'm just hoping Bernice is okay right now. I told her all about the purge yesterday and said that I could die. She could be panicking right now. She could be breaking down and it would be all my fault for leaving my phone in that store.
I just wish I could turn back time and not get my phone out to check what the vibration was in my pocket. It wasn't worth it.

Alex's pov*
I was snapped out of my small day dream when I felt eyes glaring into the back of my neck.
"What?" I said, quickly snapping my head round to look at Lauren who was staring at me with her eyes that I so wish I had.
"Do you know them? Are they attractive?" She said, catching me off guard so I just chuckled quietly. Typical of my sister to say that.
"It doesn't matter. They don't look harmful but we can't be sure. I just need to think of something. Keep quiet but stare at something else next time that isn't me."
The least I need right now is for Lauren to get me excited about these people. They were attractive, and if I said that to her, it's cause her to look at them and then I'd probably go into a full on conversation with her about how attractive they are and which ones mine and hers. Don't get me wrong, I love that about us but not right now. We can save that for later.
I looked back at the two boys who were sill in deep conversation. If me and Lauren can get past them and get to our room we should be okay. It's not safe for us to stand by a lift or to stand in a corridor. Anyone could come through the lift.
"Lauren, we've got to run to our door but we have to be quiet so they won't notice us as much and face them as much as possible while running. If they look at us pull your gun out on them and wether they pull there gun out on us or not, run to our room. Got it?"
"Ok" she said flashing a me a smile. I could tell she was nervous but she was up for it. She gets the thrill out of most scary things. She doesn't care.
I took one last glance at the boys and stepped forward then ushered Lauren to come to. Once Lauren was beside me I legged it as fast as I could with my gun in my hand. I felt there gazes on me and Lauren but I didn't look back. The door was coming into arms length.
I started to slow down when I couldn't hear any foot steps behind me anymore.
I whipped my head around and Lauren was standing there facing the younger boy. Both of them were staring at Lauren. They better not hurt her.
"LAUREN" I shouted out to her. She didn't seem to move, like she was shell shocked. I've never seen her be like this before.
I sprinted to her side and grabbed her arm but she tried getting away still locking eye contact with this boy.
"Lauren what the hell are you playing at?" I said, the anger getting to me.
"AAlex... It's Br..Brandon Row..Rowland" oh god. I had heard her go on about him and how he was famous on some social media platform.
"Lauren we.need.to.go" I said once again, urgency clear in my voice. This is exactly how she said she would be if she met him. Him and his brother who I can't remember his name, are kinda on a world wide tour thing with Magcon right now. Lauren was telling me about it yesterday and the day before that. She said that she really wanted to meet them after the purge if she's still alive and that I would take her. I'm guessing that she didn't quite work out where they were staying tho. I thought she was a die-hard FANGIRL but I guess I was wrong.
"I was just wondering if you guys knew what that alarm thing was? We only just came here for... Work but our parents didn't tell us that today was special?" The younger looking one said to me. Guessing Lauren was too shocked to say anything. Ugh, guessing I'm going to have to explain it to them.
