The 3rd Floor

Chapter 39

Hello everyone! It has been so long since I've updated and I just want to say thank you for everything you have done for me. I am very apriciative of all of the reads and votes you have given me. I really, truely love you guys and wouldn't wish for a better book to have written. I know it has been a while so here is the last couple paragraphs from where we left off in the last chapter:

As I look up, I notice 2 figures approaching me. Wait, those aren't just any figures. It's Kurstin and Brad! They walk close to each other. Each of their steps are in perfect sinc just like robots. Without any sound coming from either of their mouths, they grab me by my arms and carry me back to the cafeteria. Don and Danielle are tied to the cafeteria chairs which I assume is where I will be. They have pieces of duck tape around their mouths, but I spot something shiny in Danielle's hands. It's the scissors! Don looked at me once I was tied up and motioned, with his eyes, to look at Danielle's hands. She held a tiny piece of paper with writing on it. I pulled at the rope and freed my hands just enough to grab the paper. I looked over my back so I could read it.

Danielle wanted to save us, so I gave her the scissors. I can't deny her when her eyes are that big!

I smiled to myself. Maybe we just might make it out alive.

HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER!

I look over at Danielle who almost cut herself free. Kurstin, Brad, and Emily are in the corner of the room talking. I don't know what they're talking about, but Im sure whatever it is, it isn't good. I close my eyes in hope that soon all of this will be over.

After Danielle has freed herself, she starts working on my ropes. Mine are almost cut instantly. Just as Danielle is about to start working on Don, Emily steps right next to her. Emily grabs the scissors and throws them so that they are just beyond my reach. So much for being saved.

"Oh, so you thought you could just cut yourself free?" Emily snarled, "Boys, tie them back up!"

The goons walked towards us. I couldn't think right now. My whole body went numb and all I could do was sit there. I couldn't let them tie us back up in those scratchy ropes again. When they were only a few feet away, I jumped up and punched Henry straight in the jaw. He flailed backwards and hit his head hard against the tiled floor. Bob was the one I was most worried about. However, after a punch like that to Henry, the other 2 goons backed away leaving me satisfied.

All of this commotion gets Kurstin, Brad, and Emily's attention. They move towards me and I realize that I didn't think this through. I don't have a plan for this situation. I can't punch my own friends. I did not think this through. I look past the three and notice that the scissors are still right where Emily tossed them. I look away for a moment and see that Don is slowly wobbling towards the scissors.

When Brad reaches me, he takes my shirt collar and lifts me up. Then, he pushes me hard up against the wall. He wound his hand back to prepare to hit me. I just shut my eyes and waited for his hand to hit my face.

When nothing happens, I get nervous. What is he doing? He has me right where he wants me so why is he not punching the heck out of me right now?

I opened my eyes, slowly, only to find Brad staring at me. I wonder what he is thinking in that mind of his.

"Are you going to hit her or are you just going to sit there and wimp out like a little baby? I would be more than happy to do this myself. It is a great opportunity." Emily grimaced, but Brad's eyes stayed locked to mine.

"Im going to help you." Brad whispered quietly to me, "All I need you to do is wink at Kurstin. That will signal her to pull out a gun I hid in her jacket. Our plan is not to shoot Emily, it is just to scare her enough to leave us alone."

I nodded slightly in response and I looked over at Kurstin. This is it. We have a plan! I smile on the inside and start the countdown to plan "W".

5....

I look behind Brad and see how angry Emily is.

4....

I realize that this madness has come to an end.

3....

My heart beat pounded in my head and throughout my body.

2....

I never thought something so small, like a wink, could mean something so big.

1....

The moment of truth. I look back at Kurstin and I wink. She pulled out a shiney, loaded revolver. I never knew a wink could be so important.

OMG! Who saw this coming?!?!?!? Well, to be comepletely honest, I didn't until I wrote this chapter. Hope you all enjoyed :) Really cool song by Eminem on the side that I really think goes with this chapter. Until next time my little cheese its.

After this there is only 1 more chapter. Things were screwing up so I had to start a new book. Please continue to the next 3rd floor book after you read the last chapter in this book.
