The Last Two:Surviving w/ Shawn Mendes

What's inside your head

     So we have a pet. This is the first good thing that happened to me lately. I felt like everything is just black. I felt like I'm in a trap and I couldn't escape this nightmare. Shawn started to smile more often and that made me happy. I loved seeing him happy. I only had them. I had Shawn, Mike, and Cooper. I couldn't lose them. I promised myself that I will protect them no matter what. I promised Amy and Tommy that I will take them home but I couldn't and that's why I'm a bad person.
Shawn: why are you so quiet? - Shawn approached me and sat next to me.
Me: I'm thinking... I'm just thinking- he looked at me confused.
Shawn: About?
Me: It doesn't really matter. I'm not sure you want to talk about that.- he put his hand on my cheek and said:
"Just remember that...no matter what will happen...I will always love you. I know what you are thinking about. You think that you a bad person, right? You blame yourself about what happened to them but trust me you are not. They didn't deserve that but if we get home they will be happy about us. They are with us...here"-he put his hand on my chest where my heart is. I started tearing up a little. He pulled me to himself and hugged me.
"Do you know why Tommy saved you? You were like a little sister to him. He loved you..."
I looked up at him. He was smiling at me brightly. I smiled at him back. Cooper came to us and he leaked the tears off my cheek. I started laughing. Mile came up to us.
Mike: Look what I found...
Shawn stood up.
Mike: I guess someone was here...
Me: We should move.
Shawn: I agree.
Shawn started packing the stuff.
  
  Everyone was ready to go. Cooper was walking right next to me. Shawn was in front of me and Mike was behind me, so if something happens I can be safe. That was Mike's idea.
Shawn: How much remains.
Me: We are almost there!
Mike: I hope so... I'm really exhausted...
Me: I know Mike! You deserve some rest!
We kept walking when I started recognizing the streets. It was familiar. I was home. I knew it. I remembered where my mom thought me how to ride a bike and where my father and I played soccer.
Me: "Welcome home"- I whispered to myself. It wasn't supposed the boys to hear that but they did and they started smiling at me.
Shawn: WE DID IT! MIKE WE DID IT.
Mike: YOU ARE NOT JOKING RIGHT.
I saw the tears in their eyes.
Me: GROUP HUG!
I was between them and I felt I couldn't breathe because of the hug but I was happy...really happy.
We started jumping around when we heard someone shouting. We quickly covered ourselves.
??: YOU FREAKING LET THEM ESCAPE. YOU ARE A COWARD!
Shawn: Who is that? And why did they let us?
Mike: I think it's a trap... They were waiting for us and now they will kill us.
Me: Mile tell us...everything you know.
Mike looked at the ground.
Shawn: Mike...what happened?
Mike: it's nothing! It's okay!
Shawn: TELL US!
I put my hand on Shawn's shoulder.
Me: Mike... If you tell us we can help you. We are friends after all.
Mike looked at me. His eyes were full of tears.
Mike: They put something inside my head.
Shawn: What?!
Mike: That day... When they shot you.
Shawn: oh...my...goddamit Mike!
Mike: When I was fighting with one of them...he punched me, I fell on the floor and he said "you won't do it." and then pulled something off his pocket and I felt pain...
Me: Wait, if they know that we will come... They know where we are... Tracking device.
Mike: it hurts. It's like a parasite.
He grabbed my hand and whispered at me:
"please kill me. I can't stand it anymore...please."
