No Escape (A Team Crafted Story)

Chapter 9- No Chapter Title

(AN: Hello people. So, the day I started this chapter (February 4), I found out something really sad about one of my best friends. She almost cut. We have been talking a lot lately about her parents and how they call her a b***** and worthless and treat her like crap, but I never imagined it would go this far. We were waiting to get on the bus for our final math league competition to decide if we would go to states and we were talking (via the notes app) about how our class in math really annoyed our teacher and she told me she had to tell me something she wasn't proud of.

At the time, I was reading a fanfic about a really depressed girl who thought that cutting would make it all better, so I asked her if she was cutting.

She replied with "..."

I began to get scared as she pulled up her phone and the notes. She wrote down that she had hated her parents, brothers, and sister because they pretty much neglected her and didn't give a crap about her or give her anything she needed and they mistreated her. Then she pulled up a note that said that she took out a knife and almost cut her wrist, but she didn't.

I started to cry, because she is my best friend and I didn't want her to be gone. I told her "Please don't do this, it's not the answer." We hugged and she said "You know how much you mean to me?" I almost had a huge cry right in the middle of the math room before the big competition, but I didn't want to cause a scene.

Thank you for suffering through an unbearably long author's note, and girl, if you are reading this, you are beautiful. Please don't do this! You are worth it! You are one of the most talented people I have ever met and if you're family can't see what you are worth, something is wrong with them because you are one of the most talented and amazing people I know, and it took courage to admit what you did. I love you, and please don't ever take that route.

Anyways, hope you guys are having a wonderful and less depressing day than I. Love you! :)

***Mitch's POV***

I looked into his eyes, now drowning in pain and sorrow. He instantly dropped to the floor and began weeping.

"How, how could I loose him?! I never even got to tell him how much he mattered to me. How he pulled me out of my pit of depression and gave me salvation. He was, he was the one keeping me alive."

He curled up on the rug, running his fingers through it.

"I will stay forever here with you, my love. The softly spoken words you gave me. Even in death our love goes on."

He flopped onto his back and just sobbed. No one dared touch him in fear that he would just push them away, rejecting the comfort.

He suddenly got up and ran to the kitchen, he attempted to close the door until Jerome wedged his shoe in the door and ripped Preston out of the kitchen

"NO!! LET BE WITH HIM!!! LET ME GO!!!" Preston screeched, Jerome taking him by the collar and pulling him back to the lobby.

A crimson liquid started to drip from the back of the clock, forming a puddle on the floor.

Blood. All to familiar, it seemed. I pushed the clock away from the wall and saw a knife. It had a head attached to it, but not of anyone we knew. It was just a prop head, but the fear was all too real.

"There is no escape, just accept your fate, just like Adam." I gritted my teeth and crumpled the note, tearing it to pieces.

"What was on that note?" Jordan asked timidly.

My response was a growl; I did not want to talk.

Just then, I heard footsteps and heavy breathing. And it was getting closer.

I turned my head and saw Ant! He was gone for a while now that I think about it...

"Taylor!" I screamed, wrapping my hands around him.

"Guys, you wouldn't believe what happ-"

He was cut off by the sounds of everyone hugging him.

"Thanks guys, but I really need to tell you something. When Ian and Quenton went to go check upstairs with, well, Adam and Sam, and everyone split up, I got taken. One second, I saw the chandelier and next, nothing but a cloth draped over my eyes and pulling me down."

" 'Don't worry, this will only take a second' they said. But they left me by myself and I ran out of the room, chair still tied to my back. On my way, I met up with Ty. He had been wandering the halls the entire time. He kept telling me 'The voice said that I can heal all the pain, it can all go away. I can be better.' I tried to convince him to come back, but he just gave me a simple goodbye and the fact that it could ease his pain."

Awestruck, we all stared at Jerome. So Ty was gone, who was next?

"Guys, I'm going to go look for Rob. If I don't came back, so be it. I want to be with Rob, and don't try to stop me," She glared and her eyes flashed black for a moment.

We all just stayed there, lamenting over who we had lost and contemplating what was left of our broken lives.

(AN: Again guys, so sorry for the unbelievably short and crappy chapter, but I just needed to get this off my chest and I wanted to upload cuz over 375 reads thank you!!!! Love you all! :)
