Uncertain- Lams Highschool fic

ELEVEN

Peggy's POV

I walk past the office that morning and I honestly think I'm still really mourning the death of Alex and John because I think I just saw them in the office? It was their faces with some makeup on. But these two were females and the one girl had Pink hair and the other had blonde. It couldn't be them. 

"Peggy," The principal called me over. "Do me a favour and show our new friend Rebecca around the school." 

"Sure, let's go, Rebecca." As we walk around I can't help but keep staring at her face. She looked just like Alex. 

"Peggy," Rebecca said to me. Her voice was very deep and sounded very familiar. Almost like Alex's? "We need your help." Okay, this person really sounds like Alex, but that can't be possible, Alex died in a fire. 

"Who are you?" 

"Alex." 

"No, you're not. I'm dreaming aren't I. I'm asleep and I'm imagining that your back because I just miss you and John. But you're gone and you're not coming back and I need to wake up." 

"Peggy, you're not dreaming. I'm alive, John's alive. I can prove it. Skip class with me. We can go down to the park or something. I can prove that I have been alive for the past two months." 

"No. this is crazy. This can't be real. They found your bodies. You were burned beyond recognizable. They only knew who you were because of Laf and Herc. You're gone and I'm dreaming. 

"Pegs, please trust me. I know this is pretty odd but I can prove that I was alive. Just come with me. There are too many people here." 

"Fine, we can go to my house. Now. Let's go." This is insane. I can't believe I'm skipping school. I honestly don't know whether or not this is a dream at this point. We get to my house. 

"How can I know it is really you?" 

"One day when you came into visiting me you talked for an hour about Maria. You talked about how much you liked her and how you wanted to ask her out. You also told me that no one, not even your sisters knew about your crush on her." Holy shit. But how? Alex was in a coma. Could he hear everything? 

"Where the fuck have you been?" He tells me all about his childhood and about his cancer, the testing, how they erased his memory and tossed him out. How he could see and hear everything when he was in a coma. About why and how he got John to steal a car so they could escape. The plan he had with Laf and Herc to fake their deaths. And finally his plan to free the other children. 

"We just have one big problem, we don't have anywhere to let the children live. There's like over a hundred of them." I remember my dad's old hotel. It was closed down and he planned on demolishing it. 

"My dad has an old hotel. He planned on demolishing it. We can use it. Turn it into an orphanage. We can post photos of these children. Try and locate some of their families." 

"That's an amazing idea! Also, could John and I live in this hotel for right now. We kind of have nowhere to live and we have no idea how we're going to tell John's father that we're alive." 

"Sure. Oh my god! People are going to be so happy that you're alive!" 

"Where is this hotel? It can be the perfect spot to hide our stuff." We take the bus down to the hotel. I use the key to open it. 

"Okay, here we go. Welcome to your new home." We go up to one of the rooms suites upstairs. We sit down on the couch to figure out how to rescue the children.

"Thank you, Peggy." 

"Not a problem. Now, how many people do you need for this wild child rescue plan of yours?" 

"Not sure. There are not too many workers because they used all their money on the shit to make the shit."

"Well, are you very specific." 

"Oh yeah. Anyways there's me, you, John, Lafayette and Hercules." 

"And Eliza, Angelica and Maria" 

"Okay, that's eight." 

"Also I'm sure Aaron and his girlfriend Theodosia will help. Oh and Angelica's boyfriend Thomas Paine." 

"Perfect. that's eleven. We shouldn't need anymore plus Laf only has nine guns." 

"GUNS?" 

"Yeah. We're not going to kill anyone though, We're using them for protection." 

"Why couldn't we have just called the cops about this?" 

"John and I did. When we were leaving town we called and I told them about the place and where it should be." 

"You don't know where this place is?" 

"No. Not exactly. But I have a plan." 

"Of course you do. So, what did the cops say." 

"They told us that we were supposed to ignore it. It doesn't bother the outside world. I think they know what's going on down there." 

"Okay then. So how do we figure out where it is?" 

"Lafayette has a GPS signal. We're going to attach it to you and..." 

"ME?" Oh hell no.

"Yes. You're the youngest. We're going to pretend that your Hercules kid. And he's poor and can't pay for your cancer treatment.  Also, you're going to have a bomb on you?" 

"A BOMB! NOPE! I'M OUT!" 

"No, it won't hurt anyone. It's only powerful enough to blast open the door. ITts just that because of the hinges we need to get inside to blast it open."

"So what your saying is I'm going to go in and blow up the door. How?"

"Figure out some way to place the bomb on the door. You'll have a button to click." 

"If I die I'm so haunting your ass. Also, how are we going to talk to these guys to get me in." 

"When one of them came to the hospital, they dropped a business card in my room. I have it." 

"This is insane. I love it." 

"Let's call the others and get them here." 

"They're still in school. Just like we're supposed to be." 

"Screw school. we're about to save hundreds of children." We call all of our friends and get them to come down to the hotel. Alex and John explain what's going on and surprisingly everybody was on board. We all stayed the night at the hotel to plan it all out. In the end, this is how it would be: 

Me- The one to get inside to blow up the door to get the rest inside.

Hercules- Pretends to be my father. 

Lafayette, Alex, John, Hercules, Aaron,- The ones who would go inside when I blew up the door.

Angelica, Eliza, Maria, Theodosia, Thomas- Would safely get all the children to the hotel

(a/n- this isn't supposed to be like sexist or anything that the guys are in the fight and the girls are staying back. It's more that the girls are more responsible, as to get the children back to the hotel safer.) 

The plan was set. We all went to bed. Anxious for how the next day was going to work out.
