Somber Secrets ~

Isabelle

[Jake's POV:]

It seemed I was the first to wake up. It was day once again. I looked around, seeing my friends fast asleep. Most of them were covered in blood. Marshall was in bad shape, and so was Cai. Britt really threw them around.  I got up, and walked to a mirror that was in the room. There were cuts on my cheek, and dry blood around my lip. The mirror was by the door. I turned to fully scan the room. Marshall, Jaimie, Gene, Morgan, Ruben, and Tyler were sleeping on the floor. There were two couches in this room, and a fire place. Mason and Cai were on opposite sides of one couch, and Cai was about to fall off the couch again. What did I care? He was a jerk anyways so I just left him hanging. Literally. Kate and Finny were on another couch. I sighed. Was today going to be another day where nothing happens? It seems that it was going to be like that. Here's one thing for sure, Britt's hiding something. And it isn't just Mary. Britt is playing a sneaky game, so it's best to be aware. I fixed my glasses in the mirror, and turned to hear someone waking up. It was Tyler. He rubbed his eyes and adjusted them to the light. "Oh, hey Jake." He noticed me standing there. "Hey, Tyler. What's up?" I gave a friendly smile to comfort him. Tyler started scanning the room also. He got up, and walked over to his brother, who was still hanging half off the bed. "Does this always happen?" I asked. Tyler just stared down at his sleepy brother. "Yep. It happens a lot, just not all the time." He sighed. I could sense the two weren't getting along so well lately. 

[Mason's POV:] 

I woke up to find myself on the couch, some light glaring in my eyes. "Crikey." I yawned. I looked over and saw Tyler and Jake standing there. "And that makes three awake." Jake said, walking over by the fireplace. There was a red circle rug by it, where he sat down. Tyler also decided to join him. Jake looked over at Cai and Marsh. "I would say these two were beat the most." He observed. Tyler nodded. "Yeah. But i'm not surprised Cai was beat up. It's something he deserves sometimes." I laughed. It was true, sometimes Cai could be a total twat. After a bit, everyone started to wake up. Mostly because we got tired of whispering and talked louder. Cai was still asleep though. What an idiot. "I'm guessing he's a heavy sleeper." Kate said, as everyone just found the amusement of watching your friend be hanging off the bed, snoring like a bear. "I say we draw on him." Jake suggested. Morgan turned to him. "That's childish." Jake rolled his eyes. "At least I had a childhood." He shot back slyly. Morgan scrunched up her nose. "Anyways... we could make a plan for the day." Marshall suggested, giving a friendly smile to all of us. "That's not a bad idea, but we don't really know what might happen. The last time when.. Bryce died we got a "break" from dealing with Britt. That may not happen, she could be tricking us here." Marshall thought for a second. "You've got a point. Britt likes to play her games sneaky. Overall, no matter what, we should always be prepared for anything. Always." Marshall's voice was calm and serious. An uneasy atmosphere once again set around in the room, even though the sun was shining through the windows. Marshall was absolutely right about this. He also means that by being prepared for everything also means being prepared for your future, and what might happen to you. We all nodded in agreement. After a couple moments passed, the uneasy atmosphere and intense feeling in the room went away. Tyler grabbed a pillow and chucked it at Cai. It hit him right in the face. "Ow." Cai said as he woke up. I don't think Tyler couldn't of thrown that any faster than he did. I tried my best not to laugh, but it didn't seem to work that well. Cai sat upwards, and put his fingers by his nose. His nose was bleeding. "Nice one, Ty!" Morgan burst out into laughter, and high fived Tyler. "Oh shut up Morgan." Cai walked up to one of the side tables, and grabbed a tissue. Tyler had a proud grin on his face. The two brothers had an intense stare for a moment. I got up to help Cai, since he was treating it wrong. I pushed his head back and gave him another tissue. "There. That should help stop the bleeding." I sat back down. "Thanks, Mason." Kate chuckled at Cai, because he didn't know how to properly treat a nosebleed. "Cai, we wonder about you sometimes.." Kate said,sighing. Cai laughed. "Oh that's funny, I thought you guys could care less." He said teasingly. Jake rolled his eyes with a smirk. About a half an hour later, after Kate and Cai were done being sarcastic with each other, we decided to head out. We went onto different floors, until we ended up on a floor we haven't been on yet. How big was this grim and somber place?  We kept walking. There was silence.
