So Now You Like Me (Ariana Grande)

Chapter 18: Stay Here!

-Jai's POV-

"Okay. We'll see what we can do. Just stay here and stay safe," I hear the police man say as he began walking out of the door. When the guy (I learned his name is Ansel) closed the door, I yelled, "How the fuck are we supposed to stay here while the two girls that I love are probably dead right now!" Ansel walked over to me, putting his hand on my shoulder comforting me. After that the rest of the gang walked over to me. For once in my life, I felt loved.

I realized I was crying when Michelle gave me a friendly kiss on the cheek. They pulled their way out even when I tried to force them back in. That's the thing I hate about tears. They're like a stampede of bulls coming from your eyes after they see the red flag. Once they start running, they won't stop.

I run to Ari's room, breaking away from the tight group hug. I made sure I locked the door and I sat in front of it, clutching onto my legs. I felt like my heart was being attacked. It was like, one thousand soldiers against one.

I blacked out listening to more than a hundred knocks on the door. Everything went black and I couldn't remember anything that came after that.

-Ariana's POV-

I have no idea how I got into this basement but when I found out that Mikayla was her too, I felt a little more happy that I was going to die with one of my best friends (even though she didn't think we were still friends).

My head, forcefully, turns around, against my will, to Mikayla. I guess it was the thought of her that made me want to see her in my final moments of life. She was already staring at me. She mumbling something but I couldn't quite here her because of the tape on her mouth. For some reason, I had no tape on my mouth. I gave Mikayla a confused look and she mumbled the same sounds but louder.

I managed to free one of my hands which had third degree rope burns and was red. I had an expression of pain on my face that made Mikayla give me a sympathetic look. I turned my chair around to face Mikayla.

"First of all, ouch!" she started. Then, she turned her head towards the oxygen scale. It was extremely low. "We are about to die!" Mikayla said.

-Jai's POV-

I opened my eyes slowly and as my vision became clearer, I noticed I was in a hospital bed. Ansel and the rest of the gang were surrounding me and Aaliyah and Britney had flowers and teddy bears holding hearts saying 'Get Well Soon' and 'I can't bear to see you like this'. That last one was kind of weird so I gave Aaliyah a weird look, gesturing to her bear. She hid it behind her back slowly which made me laugh.

Alyssa and Joanna held my hand when the nurse came in telling me when I can come back home.

"Well, Mr. Brooks' tests look good. Although, I regret to inform you that his doctor thinks it would be best if Jai stayed here until tomorrow," the nurse said.

"No! I have to get out of here now! The two loves of my life are most likely dead and some fucking doctor wants me to stay here!" I screamed. Ansel held me back and the nurse took a step back like she was scared of me.

"Mr. Brooks, it's just a day. You need to get bett-" I cut her off by saying,

"Shut up! Get the fuck out of my room and never come back again!" Michelle apologized for my behavior and the nurse left and by now, my head was pounding. I am just so sick and tired of people telling me to stay here when the something that I want isn't here.

-Mikayla's POV-

My heart was beating fast. I couldn't believe that I would die tied up to a chair, with a stinging pain on my mouth, rope burns, and especially next to Ariana who has all of that except for the stinging. I looked at the oxygen scale again and it was red. I'm guessing that meant empty. I felt my heartbeat decrease as my lungs started to collapse. I felt a single tear drip down my eye and everything started to fade to black.

-Ariana's POV-

The last thing I remember was turning to Mikayla as her eyes started closing. My eyes began to close, as well. I knew what came next. When I open my eyes I will see Mikayla next to me in a gold mansion with Him (God) sending our souls to heaven. Why someone would do this to us, that's a question I would like to have the answer to.
