Chapter 1: 4 hours before

Colby's P.O.V

I walked down the sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard. Feeling the soft wind of the afternoons hit my face,my hoodie cap falling back.

"Shouldn't we be home right now and not walking around in the street" Aaron commented while we crossed the street.

"There's 4 hours left,relax Aaron" i said and we entered a fast restaurant.

"Yoh guys,look" Jake pointed at the tv screen on the corner of the place.

"What does it say?" Sam asked.

"It says maybe they're gonna add another week to the purge" Jake replied and i clenched my jaw,rolling my eyes.

"Maybe,it says maybe. So it can be a maybe not" i replied and ordered my food.

We all sat down by a table and we started eating our food.

"Are we going purging this year?" Corey asked and grabbed some french fries in his hand. I hummed and ran my hands trough my hair.

"I don't know,maybe" i shrugged and bite on my taco. Sam chuckled and Corey rolled his eyes.

"We totally should" Sam pumped up and i clenched my jaw for the second time.

"I think we shouldn't" I said as calm as possible.

"Why not? Just because you lost your poor girlfriend last year" Jake said sarcastically. I glared at him and banged both of my hands on the table, making everyone focus on us.

"You fucking shot her" i exclaimed. He rolled his eyes.

"Yeah i shot her,so?"

"You shot her twice! Why?!" i raised my arms.

"Because she turned her back to us! That's why!" He replied. I breathed in heavily and shaked my head.

"No she didn't! You just wanted to purge" i said in a sarcastic tone. "So what did you do? You shot her,then shot her again cause the first time wasn't enough. You're such an asshole" i grabbed my phone and walked away.

"Colby! Dude!" Sam called me and i ignored his.

"Look! I wasn't gonna risk y'all life for a backstabbing bitch who called herself Colby's girlfriend. She was gonna kill us i haven't have kill her" Jake said and ran his hands trough his hair.

I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Okay,both of you relax" Aaron said raising both of his hand. "We have to stay together today. We never know what can happen"

I furrowed my brows. "Yeah,we never know what can happen"

"What does that suppose to mean?" Jake asked looking at me.

"Nothing, I'm just repeating what Aaron said.

"Guys,guys. Stop" Corey sighed and i shaked my head.

"Let's just go back to the house and wait for the Purge announcement" Sam said and we all agreed.

•••••

We were all sitting in the livingroom. My left leg bouncing up and down while playing with the string of my hoodie.

Aaron was petting Buddy which was on his lap. Sam kept looking at his phone. Waiting his phone to strike 12:00AM. I rolled my eyes and kept looking at the TV.

"You guys have y'all weapons, right?" Corey asked while loading his shotgun.

"Yeah,mine is in the kitchen" Sam replied with a grin.

"The same from last year?" Jake asked,Sam nods. "That shit was just awesome"

We all chuckled and suddenly on the TV appears a woman middle-aged.

"This is not a test. This is your Emergency Broadcast System. Announcing the commencement of the Annual Purge. Sanctioned by the U.S. Government. Weapons of Class Four and lower have been authorized
For use during the Purge. All other weapons are restricted. Commencing at the siren. Any and all crime, including murder,will be legal for 168 continuous hours. Bless are new founding fathers and God may be with you" the lady on the TV disappears and is replaced by an old fire alarm siren.

"It's purge time bitches!" Corey yelled and we all screamed and i rolled my eyes with a grin.

"This is gonna be a long week"
