[Pete Wentz-First Person] (Quick A/N, although it says there's been multiple purges, it's only a year in advance to us). And thank you for 100 reads! 😃

I've only purged once in my life. And I wasn't the one to start it. It was my friend Tyler. He came in, wanting to kill me but I got to him first, the bucket I sometimes I put above the door hitting his head and knocking him unconscious. He later died that night from being, surprise surprise, unconsciousness. After that, I never wanted to purge again.

As Bronx, Meagan, Saint and I are getting the guys for our trip to California, I realize that I will once again purge tonight, since I would run people over. I didn't want to, but it was the only way out of Chicago. Meagan gave birth a year ago, Saint becoming the buzz for the media. But we had to get away without recognition.

As I put on my leather jacket over my black T-shirt, I see Bronx come into the room. Unfortunately, Ashlee died last purge and I couldn't break the news to him. I only told him that she was really sick. I couldn't keep up this act for that long. I missed her, yes she was my ex but she was his mother.

"When will I see Mom again, Dad?"

"When Mom gets better," I reply, trying to keep up the act. The guys and Meagan knew this too but they've done a great job keeping this up.

I just didn't want to see the smile from Bronx's face slip because of me.

[Brendon Urie-First Person]

As I get off the phone with the guys, I look at Sarah. The look on her face told me she wasn't ready to face this horrible night of illegal actions. I was scared too but we had weapons in our van (A/N I'm not saying they're poor, I just need them to get around in some other form of transportation that isn't a super expensive car like a Ferrari). We didn't have a first aid kit because that was meant for the house. And it would be breaking the rules of the purge, no medical supplies were allowed to be used. Oh how I wanted to kill the government for coming up with this sickly idea. But that was another rule, you couldn't kill any government official, no matter what rank they were.

I pack my bags, Sarah doing the same. I loon at her and ask her the simple question:

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah."

I grab her hand, interlace our fingers and we run out to the van we were going to use to get through this. I open the passenger door for Sarah and run around to the other side of the van. California, here we come! I push my foot down on the accelerator and our van rushes down.

But that's when the shots first start. We're screwed.
