It's a game

Chapter 3

Sydney's POV
Evan was stable again. They say his wounds magically disappeared just as they had appeared. Only I knew why. I watch what Evan is doing in the game. He's with the others, talking to the girl, Ben. She had been there for two years all alone. What if the game master was lying? What if there was no way out? No. There has to be. There was a way in so there has to be a way out. I watch as Evan comforts Ben. The two seemed to bond already. Good. The closer they are to that girl. The safer they are.
Vanoss' POV
I get up. "You heard the girl! Let's have some fun! We're basically free men now! Let's go to the strip club!" I cheer. The guys cheer. I see Ben smile and she follows us outside. "Evan and I will drive back to my place and I'll get a car that will fit us all." She explains. They nod and wait. She drives us back to her house. I just now realized it was basically a mansion. She gets out and hands me the keys. "Go back and pick up one of the guys. Access the map by using the menu. You know how the game works. Turn on the GPS options and you'll be told where to go. And no one will know that you're using it cause only you hear it." She says. I nod and access my menu. I turn on the GPS option. I then set my way point and start driving. I get back to the apartments quickly. "One of you come with me. The rest will be picked up by Ben." I say. They all try to get in. I laugh. "Delirious come on." I say. He cheers and gets in. "Suck it bitches!" He says. He gets in and buckles up. I then press the gas pedal. He cheers as I drive super fast down the road to the strip club. I park there and get out. "Let's go man!" I cheer. He nods and we walk in. One thought crosses my mind before I enter. What would Sydney think of me?
Two hours later and everyone except Ben and I were drunk. Ben could surprisingly hold her alcohol. I know I should be mad at her for under age drinking but she got us free rounds. I watch as her and David duel. So far Ben has drunken more than 40 shots but in their match they've gotten to twenty. Finally David passes out. Ben shakes her head. "You guys are sorry excuses for drinkers." She says. I laugh. "That. Or you can hold your alcohol. Are you sure you're even human." I joke. She frowns. "No actually. I don't. My body in the real world is dead.... I might just be a program now..." She mutters. I frown. "Ben... when we get out of this. I promise you I'll find you. And if you're dead. I'll give you the most honorable burial there is." I say. "That's just it Vanoss. Will you get out? Will your friends get out? Will any of us ever see real. Nonartificial. Light?" She asks. I put my hand on her shoulder. "We will. That's a promise." I say. She starts crying and hugs me. I hug back and let her cry. A really hot stripper walks over. "Aw what's wrong?" She asks. Ben sniffles and let's go. "Nothing." She says. "I can help with any tension or stress you know~." The stripper flirts. Oh my God does this npc not notice her age?! I see Ben smirk slightly. "Yeah. That's be great." She says and gets up. The two walk off. I blink. Well damn. Ben just scored with an npc. I sigh and look at the guys. They're all either passed out or.... ew. Jonathan and Luke were making out. Are they a thing? I sigh and take a sip of the martini I had. Ben runs out with blood on her. "Come on before someone finds the body." She says. I blink. "You grab Delirious. I got the others. Hurry. Get out of here." She says. I nod and pull Jonathan off of Luke. Both grunt in disagreement. I drag Del to the car and start driving. "Why'd you do thaaaat?" He asks. "Because." I say. "You know. If you're jealous all you had to do was say~." He flirts. I cringe. "No dude. We just had to get out of there." I say and park in front of the apartment. My phone that I didn't know I had starts ringing. I hear sirens in the background. "I forgot to mention. Meet at my place." She says. I hear scared yelling in the background too. "Shut the fuck up idiots!" Ben shouts and I hear a few gun shots. "What's going on?" I ask. "Cops caught on. I'll lose them soon though. Don't worry." She says and hangs up. I sigh and start the car again. "Come on Evbear. You know you've always liked me.~" Del says. "No Del. You're just being weird." I say. "I'm not weird baby. I'm yours." He says. "Oh really? It looked more like you were Cartoonz' earlier." I say. He giggles drunkly. "There's that jealousy I was talking about. Baby Cartoonz was just a toy. You and I both know H20Vanoss is so much better." He slurrs and his hand reaches to my thigh. I slap it away. "Del I'm serious. Stop before you say or do something you regret." I say. "I'd... never do anything... that I would regret around you Evbear. I love you." He says and reaches there again. I take a deep breath and try to focus on the road. Ok Evan. How do I get him to stop? I gasp when he tries to start palm me through my pants. I park and push his hand away. "Stop." I say and get out. I drag him out and bring him to the couch in the living room. I push him onto it. "Now stay there. Go to sleep." I say. "But Ev I'm hoooorny." He whines. "We'll have sex tomorrow. For now go to sleep." I say. "You promise?" He pouts. He just went from horny to a 6 year old. "Yeah yeah. Whatever." I say. He lays down and tries to go to sleep. I roll my eyes and walk around. This place is huge. I've found quite a few bedrooms, a few bathrooms, a heist room. I walk out and see a whole bunch of passed out guys on the living room floor. I see Ben drag the last guy in and drop him on Tyler. I smile. "Good job. Can I get a bedroom though?" I ask. She giggles. "Totally. All of them are available." She says and takes off her jacket. I nod and go to one of the rooms. I take off my clothes to where I'm in my boxers and I go to sleep.
