The Forgotten One

Chapter Forty Two

Nate explained that the safest way for me to get out of here was to leave at night because the tunnels have always been pitched black at night, no one has ever been in there late at night because of all the accidents that has happened overnight. Nate had memorized the whole layout of the tunnel and the best way for me to escape was to go through a backdoor that was abandoned years ago, it was my best shot at survival. Unfortunately, I was still weak from the bullet so Jasper has to carry me all the way to the tunnels. I was so angry at the fact that my brother won't be with me and neither will the rest of the group, it will only be me and Jasper. It's not that I hated the idea of only me and Jasper but I have no idea on how to survive without my brother with me. He was my whole world, he knew everything, I always relied on him for everything and now I have to go outside from the state without any clue of what to do. I looked at Nate, who was looking at the map one last time until he finally looked up.

"Okay, everyone know the plan?" he asked and everyone nodded. He breathed a sigh of relief with a look of determination on his face. "Okay, let's do this"

Jasper picked me up slowly and we all walked briskly out of the nightclub. Diana was the first one to slowly crept towards the back entrance to check to see if there were any cops, she looked back and forth and signaled that no cops were anywhere in sight. The rest of the group who were in front of me followed Diana in suit. They all walked quickly and thoroughly, and soon, we were out of the nightclub. I couldn't help but look back at the nightclub where Rachael was murdered in. I silently cried for her as we were leaving because she will always be in my heart and my very best friend.

Jasper rubbed my back upon hearing my cries for Rachael as he whispered that everything was going to be fine from now on, I just nodded my head as he kept walking. After twenty minutes of walking, we suddenly froze when we heard police sirens, we were rooted at the spot until my brother snapped out of it and told us to keeping walking fast and try to stay out of sight as best as possible. Jasper held me tight as his pace quicken and he looked back a couple of times to make sure no cops were following us. The sirens that were much louder when we first heard them, now sounded faint as we kept straying even farther away from the police siren. I was breathing profusely and Jasper tried to calm me down but it wasn't working. Each time I tried to even my breathing, my heart jumped again.

"Hey, everything will be alright," Jasper whispered. But I shook my head as I place my head in the crook of his neck. It felt like everything wasn't going to be alright, I was so apprehensive about everything that it was killing me, tears poured down my cheeks as I weeped about what was going on. I knew I shouldn't be crying at a time like this, but I couldn't help it. I know I'm trying to prove that I am worth being born but how can I when everything was my fault. Nate's freedom, Rachael's life, everyone's else freedom. Even though it was their choice to help me, why would they do it for a girl like me? A girl who is only a coward. It looks felt like it was going to get worse before I knew it as we kept walking to where my freedom awaits, even though I didn't deserve it
