"Ooh goodie! You all survived! Don't forget to wash your hands dear."
Angie groaned at the figure.
She noticed Dani and JC were holding hands, which made her slightly curious. But there were bigger things to worry about.
"Are you all ready for the next challenge?"
"No-"
"Okay great! The next challenge is pretty simple. In front of  you is a knife. And as you can see on the screen, there is a heavily populated mall. I've placed bombs there that will go off in 3:00. Someone here has to die before the bomb goes off. If no one dies by then, you will be the reason for a lot of death. Choose wisely. The timer starts now."

"I'll do it! Let me do it!" AJ suddenly said.
"No AJ, let me do it." David said.
"I have no reason to live anymore David! And I'll die happily knowing that I at least saved thousands of people."
"But AJ.." Angie stared at him sadly, but didn't know what to say. Kyla and Kaylin were both looking down, not knowing what to say.
"Let me do it guys." Dani suddenly said as she went for the knife, but was yanked back by JC.
"No Dani." Sadness flared in his non existent eyes.
Dani looked at him with admiration, she wanted to protect him.
"Guys we only have 2 minutes left! Hurry!" Matthew urged.
"If I die at least I'll see Aiden and Christian..please let me do it." AJ begged.
It was one minute.
Angie suddenly bursted our "I know you guys like me the least- so I'll do it!"
A slap was heard.
Two slaps actually.
Angie started crying not at the pain but at the fact that both Dani and Kyla slapped her.
"Don't you dare say that." Dani said with fury.
Kyla nodded and put one hand on Angie's shoulder. "I can-"
Before Kyla could finish her words, a stab could be heard.

"Did he?"
"NO! He couldn't!"
"How..why..?
"No..it's.."



"JC NO!"
Faster than lightning, Dani rushed over to JC and pulled out the knife from his side.
"JC! YOU IDIOT!!" Dani sobbed.
JC got up and looked at Dani with with beautiful one eye.
He leaned in and gave her a soft kiss, which only made Dani cry even more.
"JC.." David choked out, also tearing up. He's gonna miss his boyfriend
"You.....you guys suck. Also it was Kay-"
JC coughed out blood. He made eye contact with everyone before his body went limp, and the warmth of his body slowly faded.
"It should have been me, I should've stabbed myself before he could.." AJ said as he grasped his head tightly.
Normally Angie would've comforted AJ and told him that wasn't true, but she was speechless, so was Kyla. Kyla pondered the last words of JC. Was he referring that Kaylin was the one who stabbed him? She looked over to Kaylin whistling to herself with blood on her shirt dripping down.

"Oh goodie you guys actually went through with it. Alright cool. I'll be nice and let you guys cool off before the next challenge starts."
"Pfsh. 'Nice'." Matthew muttered.
There was silence in the room.
