*Lizzy pov*
I woke up with Harper and Alex trying to shake me awake . Her eyes looked red like she had been crying and maybe would have been after I cut myself. The last time Harper cried after Sara Bardon managed to humiliate her before the whole class in sixth garde but well it all ended after we changed her shampoo with cement mixture .
Sweet revenge .
Alex placed his hand on my head and checked my temperature . Of course I didn't have any fever . I just slept for few minutes after all sleeping is an escape to all depressed shit in my life .
"Liz you ok? " Harper asked . I replied with a nod and then she went about to check the bandages on my wrist . " umm ..Liz how did you..."
Alex seemed confused , he was not supposed to know nor was Harper but they both did and now I was dommed. I looked towards Harper with a look of sympathy but was met with harsh two coloured iries to shut me up .
" Liz you need to stop , and get help you just can't move around slicing your wrists. " and that drowned all my hardwork I had used up to protect my beautiful engravings on my flesh . "And Liz you really need to tell us why did you cut , I told Alex what you did and maybe you need to see a therapist . "
" No !" I yelled at her " there is no way In hell I'm going to see a therapist , you don't understand , people are going to call me a freak or weird if they discovered that I was a self harmer . After all which idiot even harms herself and is satisfied with blood dripping down their wrists ".
Harper put her arm around me and rubbed my back . I held tight on her shirt as Alex sat there motion less . Time passed slowly before the window exploded. Shards of glass showered at us and Harper screamed . The bullet was engraved inside the wall and Alex jumped under the bed . More bullets zipped inside the room . I threw the blankets away and jumped out of the bed , heart hammering in my chest . I grabbed Harper's hand and ran out of the room .
Harper and I crashed down the Stairs and ran towards Alex's car
.
Harper screamed for him . He ran out of the house with his left arm drenched in blood . He flung the keys towrds me and I hobbled into the driver's seat . Harper and Alex crashed into the back and I gunned the engine.
The music balred through his speakers . We were simply planning a quite escape and this boombox . I punched the off button which definitely broke the music system . Alex glared at my eyes but my eyes definitely had fire in them . He let out a sqeak and buried himself in the back seat. Harper pressed her hand to stop the bleeding . Another bullet came flying and broke the back glass into shreds . Harper screamed and just when the car started moving.
In fifteen minutes we were out of the residential area . At least few people to hurt now . Two cars were right in our tail , and after fifteen minutes of dodging their shots I had a good idea they were good snipers.
My body pounded with alendrine . Harper had sucessfully tied alex's arm with a bandage . My eyes only searched for an entrance route to the highway . That's when a biker showed his bike into the car . I tried the breaks to stop the clash but the car decided to Take a one eighty degree turn a crash near a maintenance tunnel .
I stumbled out of the car and coughed out blood . I dragged Harper out, her forehead bled after a shard or glass cut her . All this blood reminded me of my cuts on my wrists . Blood seeped through the bandages and turned my bangades crimson red . The furious driving must have had caused them to bleed .
The enemy cars came into view . A man poked his head out and pointed his mate towards our crash site . The biker lay motion less near a stop sign . I had a weird feeling to help him out but I motioned Harper and Alex to follow me instead . We ran straight into the tunnel . The pipes leaked and the bulb turned on and off. In the dim light the end of tunnel flashed bright yellow .
A chasm in New York city was nothing I expected .My eyes burned due to sudden interaction to light. The voice of water gushing below in the chasm shocks me. People live above in here And nobody knows about this chasm and the carven . I looked in both directions . A wall of rocks stood on our right. straight front the sunlight beamed in through an opening but there's no way to reach there . The only option was to run left , into the darkness .
Harper was panting beside me while Alex held her . We heard the shouts of our attackers and I motioned them to run towards the darkness . After we only covered about twenty feet Alex fell on his knees. Blood poured from his side and his voice failed him . Harper held him to keep him from falling in his face while I tried to help him up . We were looking time , if they shot Alex they can do that to us too.
I looked up and we were surrounded . I shook Harper's shoulder and steped back . A man in a bullet proof told my to place my head . I placed my hand below my curls near my neck . My feet shuffled back . Harper got up and helped Alex to rise . Alex looked beat up like he had been shot and forced to run , which he had been , thanks to me he was near deaths door now .
Another man walked up and grabbed Alex by his injured arm . Harper screamed at him but he simply kicked her on her right leg . Harper tumbled on the floor and flinched. I held Harper's shoulder and brought her on her feet. That dude , yep I'll call him dude , clasped his hand over alex's mouth and dragged him behind his mates .
I tear slid down Harper's cheeks. I held her closer, while we stepped back together. My feet dug in to the moist soil at the edge of the chasm . Water sprayed at the back to my yoga pants . I turned to wards the water .
"We'll have to jump " I wishpered
"What!" She screamed over the rushing of water below us.
"I said we'll have to jump !"
"I heard that Liz, but why?"
"Cuz there's no way left "
"But..."
"But what?" I shouted
"Alex..."
Alex was still in the grips of the dude bad his friends , we can't leave her boyfriend there . But I don't care about Alex , I hate him , but leaving him will tear her heart apart . I can't see that . After all I'll sucide few days later ; I can't leave her like this .
I turned back and found the nuzzle of a fun right on my stomach . Harper flinched .
"Harper , we need to leave Alex im sorry." I wispered
She didn't reply . Only beads of salty tears dripped down her cheeks .
I grabbed her wrist and leapt . I held her waist and and positioned myself in the same way I used to do while diving classes . Harper squeezed her eyes close and gripped my shirt tight . The water surrounded us and I held my breath .
