I took a slow and deep inhale as I held back my tears. Riley on the other hand was crying so badly that she had trouble breathing. Exhale. I carefully watch the body language of the others as my hands start to shake. "Don't show him fear", I started to repeat to myself. Who was I kidding. I was terrified. The thought of him making us choose. Five of us. Five families suffering and questioning whether or not they would see their daughters again.
This shouldn't have happened. I know now isn't the time to be pointing fingers, but I had this feeling in my gut. A feeling that screamed "Don't go out tonight". But it's too late. It was Katie's birthday. All we wanted to do was celebrate.
All of our parents are on a cruise together. We've been gone for what feels like a week. Are they even home yet? Do they know we're gone? Are they looking for us? Will they find us? Tears began to fill my eyes. I closed them and faced towards the cement wall keeping us caged in. I don't want the others to see my pain. I'm the strongest out of all of us. Once they see me losing it, it'll all be over.
They've already showed their weakness. Unfortunately this is a game to him. But not to us. This is a horrific sequence of events. And we're begging it to stop. I'm begging it to stop.
