      (( prechapter note/ad I JUST PUBLISHED THE FIRST CHAPTER OF A NEW FANFICTION CALLED Regional at Best. PLEASE GO READ IT AFTER THIS, THANK YOU.))

      After securing my wrists and ankles to the chair with tight zip ties, Brendon's footsteps receded upstairs. Once he was out of earshot, I called to Mia.

"Hey, Mia, wake up," I rasped, craning my neck in her direction in an attempt to carry my voice farther. The drugs he had shot me up with were fading. My body felt like it was covered in pins and needles, and my arm felt red hot, but I was getting feeling back. Though both of us were beaten down and almost burnt out, I wanted to live. I'm done feeling like a lost puppy in the street, standing in oncoming traffic.

Her head moved, dirty blonde hair fanned out around her. Her eyes opened slightly and I watched as her shallow breaths climbed out of her throat. She coughed. "I'm done..." Mia's voice came out as a crackly whisper. She began to convulse, making crying sounds, but no tears came out. Out from her cracked lips, a few drops of blood spilled.  "I was supposed to go to Cabo this year," she whined. I didn't understand how someone could be worrying about vacationing in Cabo when they were brushing hands with death.

      "You don't have to miss it," I said, using her complaint as her motivation. "Brendon didn't tie you up because he thinks you're in too weak of a state to leave. Prove him wrong. What happened the strong, popular girl I went to school with? Please, get up."

The table next to me was set with shining blades. "When you get up, cut me free, and we'll get out together." My heart beat fast.

She sniffled and didn't respond.

Mia lifted her head from the concrete, then pushed her torso off the ground with her arms, and slowly got up.
