"Next time you put it on it will allow you to put your own password in." He mumbled as he stood up and started to walk away.
"Wait! Why are you in here?" I yelled at him. I pulled myself up and away from him.

"About 73 hours why does it matter?" He grumbled throwing a rock at the wall.
"I can't remember anymore..." I said twisting the bracelet in my hands. I shook my head. My stomach twisted in a dozen new knots. My ex-parents had told me I would be dead within the next week. I had denied it then but now I wasn't so sure.
