Student Stripper - e.d

I woke up & I was on the wall. Hanging from chains attached to my wrists & a heavy ball attached to my ankles. I started to panic. I looked over & saw Ethan. He had been badly bruised & beaten & he had his head down.

"Ethan are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah," he could barely speak, "they're coming back."

I started to panic again. I tried to wriggle loose but it didn't work. We were trapped.

The door opened & we saw Alicia & Max walk down.

"Well. Well. Well. I guess lil' miss perfect decided to wake up from her nap," she smiled & walked over to us, Max silently following behind.

"What are you gonna do to me?" I asked nervously.

"What I've been wanting to do since I saw you steal what was mine. Kill you," she whispered the last part in a way of hate. So much hate.

She skipped over to the table of weapons that had been there for days. It was pushed to the front & Alicia & Max skimmed over their options.

Alicia picked up the simplest weapon on there. A simple pistol. Because she's simple while Max picked something quite complex. She smiled, satisfied with her weapon & stood in front of me once again.

"So this is how it's gonna work. Since we're people with heart still. We're gonna kill you both at the same time so that one of you don't watch the other die because you love each other or some crap," she rolled her eyes & looked at Max with a smile.

"I love you like this," Max complimented her & she smiled.

"Thank you baby," she cooed & faced me again. She lifted up her pistol slowly & Max did the same.

My heart started to pound out of my chest. This was it. This was the end. I regret bringing Ethan into this. He deserves a nice girl. Who's a cheerleader with an air head & doesn't strip for a living. I looked across at him & looked at him with eyes of apology.

"I'm sorry," I murmured.

"It's okay," tears fell from his eyes but he smiled a bit. I could tell he was hurting but still smiled. I just kept staring at him & he stared back.

I just wanted to go out looking at his face. His face which lightened the situation.

"One," she counted. I was still looking at Ethan. This was really it.

"Two," Max counted. There was no turning back now.

"Three," they said in unison & held their triggers. I heard a gunshot but it wasn't any of their weapons. It came from upstairs.

"What the hell!" Alicia yelled & dropped the pistol. More gunshots went off upstairs. It sounded like a stand off.

"Go see what's going on upstairs!" she yelled at Max.

"But I'll get killed!" he yelled back. Before Alicia could even yell again, the door was knocked down & men in black suits & guns walked in. Max & Alicia tried to shoot back but where shot at & restricted.

They carried them out of the place & tended to our aid. They carried us out of the house & when the sun finally hit my face, I knew we were saved. We were put in an ambulance & rushed straight away. I opened my eyes & saw Natasha sitting on the side smiling with tears in her eyes.

"Tash," I uttered.

"Hey," she smiled back. She tried to hug me but the paramedic wouldn't let her as we were still stabilising. Ethan was knocked out cold. His heart rate was slowing down & it was creeping me out.

"Did you find us?" I asked softly.

"Yes," she nodded. I smiled at her as my body ached with pain. I heard a flat line beep & my body ached even more.

"Ethan?" I uttered & received no response.

"Ethan!" I screamed & sat up to shake him.

"Stay back," the paramedic pushed me back & hovered over him.

"Step on it we're losing him!" he yelled.
