There Will Be Lies || COMPLETED

Marshall smirked at us all huddled together.

"Has anyone thought of their last words yet?" He laughed deeply.

I ignored him, and leaned my head against the wall trying to think, but my brain felt slow and tired.

There's got to be a way to escape somehow...

Blake turned his head towards me.

"Hey, how are you holding up?" He asked.

I shook my head, my guilt making me feel sick, "I'm so sorry for everything."

"Stop apologising Olivia," He sighed, but I couldn't take it anymore.

"If I had never met you - you'd be safe... You'd be happy, you would not be in this stupid situation." I felt angry tears brim my eyes.

Blake's kind expression remained as he said, "You don't know that Liv," He replied, and my stomach fluttered with butterflies as he said my real name. "For all you know, Marshall could have hired another person to kill me instead of you - and they might have actually done it." His tone shook as he said that last line and my heart broke.

"You put everyone else before yourself, when it mattered the most..." He took a deep breath then said. "Before we all die, I would like you to know that I still love you and I will love you no matter what."

A tear spilled down my cheek, "I love you too."

His face formed a shocked and elated expression, "You do?"

"Yes and I think I knew it as soon as we met, I just didn't understand my feelings," I blushed and Blake grinned.

We all sat in silence, Marshall watching us with a smirk on his face as the minutes counted down, even Harper's muffled crying stopped.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for it to happen.

I shuffled on the ground, suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

"What is it?" My mum whispered in concern.

"I don't know..." I replied.

There was an obscurely shaped object in my back pocket, that was suddenly making it uncomfortable to sit down.

My mind reminisced to what the item could be and immediately I remembered.

The poison!

Wait...

Abruptly, I came up with an idea.

It may be potentially lethal, but now, I knew how we could possibly escape and defeat Marshall…
