Alesha POV

Stephen said he found one of the notes on the floor and presumed it was one of us who wrote it but none of us did. I examined the piece of paper that had the same writing and the same name.

Day 2 BGT 4:30pm Apocalypse

No one knows about me. No one. I've been watching you. Yeah, you... the reader. Watch your back. I saw you pick up my letter. You'll find me at the end of this building.

"Oh God..." I sighed to myself when I heard footsteps behind me.

"Hey Alesha" I turn around quickly only to see a devastated Amanda.

"Mandy! Whats wrong honey?" I glanced at Amanda who had tears trickling down from her brown orbs. I stuffed the note in my pocket as I open my arms to embrace her in a warm hug.

"I'm so hopeless at this..." Cried Amanda.

"What happened this time Mandy?" I questioned, feeling commiserative for the downhearted girl.

"W-we kissed..." Stuttered Amanda, hiding her face into my chest.

"Wait what?!" I whisper-shouted, pushing her shoulders forward to see her face. Her bottom lip was quivering as she looked at me with her glossy chocolate globes.

"I know but... I pulled away and left"

"Oh..." Okay, I have to admit it. This is pretty substandard. To be honest, I actually have no idea what to say. I usually reply with 'Its okay, I know what you mean' or 'It'll be okay' because lets face it. I have no bloody clue on how Amanda feels and I know its not competent.

"Well, do you want me to talk to him?" I spoke softly, rubbing her back and side-hugging her.

"No, It's fine Alesha... I'm sure he's over it" Amanda said, as she put on a weak smile.

I wanted to avoid this mood that was settling in so I pointed my head at the door when she nodded her head slowly in reply. We were ambling ourselves to the door when we saw the boys packing up the stuff in a hurry.

"Alesha! There you are!" Ant said, aggravated, as he dragged me away from Amanda.

"Whats wrong Ant?" I said, which made Ant give me a duh look. 

"What do you mean Whats Wrong? Why were you in that bloody room? We're packing because we just remembered that we have 4 days left to escape this horrendous building. BUT the thing is, due to that crisis moment we had to go through in the hallway and staying in here, I think we only have 3 days left. We lost count."

Oh crud... I just remembered that time limit and the fact we lost count is gonna put more weight on our shoulders. 

"I was in there because Stephen found one of those letters..."

Ant set himself a curious expression, making him hastily look behind me. 

"What'd you find?" The small man said in a low voice, trying to keep down his voice. 

"This guy knows I've read his first letter. Apparently, he saw me pick it up. He also said that he'll see me at the end of this building" I gave him the small letter, where he read it quickly to himself.
