It's a game

Chapter 1

Evan's POV
Beep beep beep. Ugggh... Beep beep beep. I don't wanna get up... Beep beep beep. I groan and turn off the alarm clock. I sit up, unable to sleep anymore. I finally open my eyes to see. I'm not in my bed. I rub my eyes and look around. This must be a dream. I pinch myself. Maybe not a dream. But then again in my dreams I recall feeling the pain. I get up and see I'm in a familiar apartment. I open my closet and see a bunch of familiar outfits. One points out where I am. I'm in GTA V! This is a cool dream already. I change into my usual outfit and see a whole rack of guns. I run over and grab a pistol and a calibre. I put them in my pockets and run out. I look around. Everything is so... realistic. A woman bumps into me. "Ugh. Outta my way dumbass." She scoffs and walks off. I pull out my pistol and shoot her. Head shot! People around me scream. I smile and put my gun back in my pocket. This is so cool! Suddenly cop cars surround me. Uh oh. One shoots me. I scream in pain and fall onto the ground. This pain. It's so real. Is this a dream? It can't be. It has to be. Did I actually kill that woman? How did I get here? I get shot again in the lower arm. Things start to blurr when suddenly I hear gunshots. Then I feel someone pick me up. I then black out.
Sydney's POV
I wake up beside Evan as usual. I smile and go down to fix breakfast. I sit and wait. The alarm should have gone off and waken him up by now... maybe he slept through it. I'll wake him up. I go upstairs and see that the alarm is still blaring. I turn it off and then shake Evan. "Evan. Evan sweety wake up." I say. Nothing. I frown. "Evan?! Evan you're scaring me!" I shout. I continue to shake him hard. Nothing! I feel his pulse. It's still there. "Evan I'm calling the ambulence. This better not be a prank!" I shout. Nothing. I grab my cell phone from the bedside table and call the ambulence.
----
A coma. Evan. Is in a coma... they don't know what put him in it. They think it was a miniature heart attack. His heart was perfectly fine. Evan was in perfect condition. My phone rings, breaking me from my thoughts. I had been staring at Evan's almost lifeless body. It's Jaclyn. I pick it up and hear sobbing. "Jaclyn? What's wrong?" I ask. "It's David. He's... he's in a coma." She sobs. "He... he is?" I ask. "Y-yeah. They think it was a mini heart attack. But David was perfectly healthy last time we checked!" She sobs. "Jacky. I think. Something odd is happening." I say. "Why?" She asks. "The same happened to Evan. This morning he wouldn't wake up so I called the ambulence. The doctors said the same about him." I say. "That's how I found David too." She says. "Add Kelly to the call." I say. She does. "Wh-what?" Kelly asks. It sounds like she's been crying. "Kelly. We want to guess something." I say. "What? I'm kinda upset right now." She says. "Is Tyler in a coma?" Jaclyn asks. "H-how'd you know?" She asks. "Evan and David are too." I say. "What? How can this even happen?" She asks. "I don't know. But we'll find out. Let's get home and use our boyfriends accounts to call the whole crew. Anyone who doesn't pick up is probably in a coma too." I say. They agree and we hang up. I drive home and get on Evan's computer. I then create a Skype call with all of his friends. Jaclyn and Kelly were the first to pick up. Then slowly one by one the other guys started joining. The last to join is Marcel. "Dude it's fucking 6 in the morning. What the hell is this about Evan?" He asks. "It's not Evan." I say. He looks and sees me. "You girls look like you've been crying. What's wrong?" Brian asks. We go silent. "Girls?" Anthony asks. I look at all the invites I sent. Three people aren't here. "Does anyone know where Luke and Jonathan live?" I ask. "Yeah they're my neighbors. Why?" Lui asks. I take a deep breath. "Go check on them. Now. They most likely.... yeah go check on them." Kelly says. "Why?" Brian asks. "Just do it ya fucktard!" Jaclyn snaps. Lui exits the call. "And does anyone know where Ryan lives?" I ask. "Yeah he's in his room upstairs. He sleeps in alot." Bryce says. "Check on him. Right now." I say. He shrugs and gets up, walking away. A few seconds later we hear him screech. "RYAN!? RYAN WAKE UP MAN! PLEASE THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" Bryce yells. "What the hell is going on?" Brian asks. I watch as Bryce runs in and puts his phone in his pocket. Lui joins the call. "You better explain what the fuck is going on." The two say at the same time. "They had a heart attack." Kelly says. "How did you know this?" Marcel asks. "Evan, David, and Tyler are also in comas. All three of them had miniature heart attacks. We have no idea how this happened but we want to find out." I explain. The guys all go silent. "I gotta go. The ambulence is here." Lui says and hangs up. "Y-yeah they got here too." Bryce says and hangs up. "We'll help and try to figure this out." Brian says. We smile. Suddenly someone else joins the call. Anonymous. "You don't have to try to figure this out. I'll answer all your questions." An ominous voice says. "What the fuck?" Anthony asks. "Your friends are in comas because I put them in comas. You see. I've created this game... and as you know. Every game needs beta testers. I sent your friends in. They don't know this. But. If they die in the game. You guys can say goodbye to your friends. But. If they somehow manage to survive. I may let them leave after they kill a certain amount of people. Don't worry. You won't be completely clueless as to how safe they are. If they're injured you'll see them on their real bodies." The man explains. My phone rings. I jump and answer. "H-hello?" I ask. "Sydney Fong?" A man asks. "Yeah?" I ask shakely. "Evan is in critical condition. Two wounds have opened up on his right arm. We have no idea how but nothing we are doing is helping." The man says. "What?!" I shout. "Yes. We think you should come see him. Before..." The doctor says. I hang up. "What did you do to him you bastard?!" I snap. He chuckles. "I did nothing. He got himself shot. He still thinks he's dreaming. The others haven't woken up from their naps yet sadly. If you want to watch your friends. Here. Watch them through this." He says and sends a link. Then he leaves the call. I blink. "I'm going. I have to see this for myself." I say and hang up. I exit the call and click the link. I'm now watching a video with 6 different boxes. One with each of the people missing. I see Evan unconscious, being carried by a girl. She only looks 14 years old. How is she carrying him?
