Chapter Four

====Elton's P.O.V.====
I walked into the stairwell after Jason and looked over his shoulder at his friend who he calls 'Jacob'. I immediately recognize him. I grin widely, watching as his eyes open wide filled with shock and recognition, before the emotion quickly switches to fear. Jason looks between us confused.

"Do you guys know each other?" He says. Jacob speaks first looking down.

" Uh yeah... In a way... I think." Jason narrows his eyes, skeptically.

"How?" He shifts his gaze back to me. Jacob looks up unsure but looks down once again after our eyes meet.

"Well..." Jacob starts.

"We used to know each other before all this." I say quickly, waving my arm around for effect. I hope Jason doesn't catch my lie. Jacob glances up quickly, obviously confused. I give him a 'look' to make sure he goes along with it. He realizes that and looks at Jason.

"Yup! That's it" Jacob says while planting an obviously fake smile on his face, still not looking at me. Jason looks between us for a moment before giving up on the subject. He puts a serious look on his face and turns to Jacob.

"Jacob, what I am about to tell you, you can't tell anyone. Even if you decide that you don't want to be a part of it. Do you understand?" Jacob nods at Jason, ignoring me for the moment. "Okay good. You see, I'm getting a group together. This group will be filled with valuable people, such as yourself. A-"

"Why am I considered valuable?" Jacob interrupts.

"Shh. Let me finish. Okay, the group will hold meetings during a specific time on specific days. I won't tell you yet because I don't know if you're in or not. During these meetings, we will discuss plans to escape."

"ESCAPE! HOW!" Jacob shouts. Jason moves over to him and pushes his hands over his mouth.

"Shh.." he points just passed me at the door. The cafeteria is on the other side of that door. Jacob nods, understanding. Jason takes a step back and removes his hands from Jacob's face.

"As I was saying, I can't tell you any more information until I know you won't tell anyone else. So, are you in?" Jacob thought for a moment. He quickly glanced at me before looking back at Jason.

"Just in case you need a little more persuasion... I was gonna ask Gracie after I asked you..." Jacob seemed to immidietly brighten at the mention of Gracie's name.

"I think... I think I'll do it..." Jacob said hesitantly at first.

"Alright! Thanks dude!" Jason exclaimed, clapping him on the back. Jacob visibly winced and Jason immidietly apologized. Then the bell rang, signalling the end of dinner. Jason looked over at me.

"Alrighty, i gotta go now." He walked over to the door. "I'll see you guys tomorrow!" He left. I look over at Jacob.

====Jacob's P.O.V.====
"I'll see you guys tomorrow!" Jason called over his shoulder as he left the stairwell. I stared at the door for a few more moments before shifting my eyes to look at Dr. Ja-uh, 'Elton'. I don't meet his eyes.

"Hello Jacob, long time no see. How's the wing?" He asked. I shudder, remembering what happened. It seemed like years ago and, to be honest, I don't know how long ago it was. They don't tell us what day it it. Only when it's time to eat.

"Hey man, just gonna say this before you get all butt-hurt, I'm sorry..." He mumbled something after. I look up at him, right in the eyes. How dare he! He's sorry! I can't believe him! I feel myself get angry and I clench  my hands into fists.

"Sorry." I say it silently but you can almost see the anger in my words. "You're sorry" my voice rises a bit in both pitch and volume. 'Elton' looks slightly shocked at my anger but quickly hides it.

"Well yeah, unless your ears are damaged, you should have heard that the first time I said it." He replies. He speaks as if he's talking to a baby. I'm about ready to punch something when the door opens.

"Actually, I realize it might not be best to leave you two..." it's Jason. He looks at me and sees how furious I am. "...alone... Hey, you guys good?"

"Yep! We are perfectly fine! Can't you see the bonding? Man, he's like my new best friend!" My voice is a couple pitches higher than normal. Also full of sarcasm, as per usual.

"Okay then, definitely not a good idea... Jacob why don't you walk with me?"

"No! I can walk by myself." I say, quieting down at the end.

"You sure?" Jason asks again.

"Yep! Thanks anyway." I say calmly. 'Elton' looks at me, confused by my sudden mood change. Little does he know, I'm probably gonna break something if I stay in this room any longer.

"Oh... Kay then... Elton​ you walk with me..." Jason says slowly holding the door open for Elton to walk through. Elton shrugs and walks through. As soon as he's on the other side of the doorway Jason looks at me.

"We are going to talk later. Okay?" I nod at Jason and he exits the stairwell. I wait a moment so they can't hear me before I turn around and punch the wall. It makes a loud cracking noise and pain shoots through my hand and up my arm. I look at the wall and see that I cracked the cement, oh well. I look down at my hand and watch as it starts to bleed from the knuckles. Whoops.

I start my way up the stairs to the third floor where my room is. I'll stop at a bathroom on the way there to wash up my hand.
