School Of The Unsolved

Fights, Lights, And Halloween Nights

I felt the knife get closer to my body as my mother tried to get it into my chest at full force. I wasn't going to let that happen. I had her by both shoulders as my friend yelled for me. I knew I needed to think of something fast. I wouldn't have forever.

To me, it seemed like there was only one way out of this. There was only one way to live. There was only one way to make it back. It was something I wanted to avoid with every piece of me but I knew that it wouldn't last long.

I could've hurt her. I could've killed her. I was sure about all of those things. But I didn't want to. I just wanted her to be fixed. I just wanted to take up in the morning and everything would fine. But I knew that that would no longer work. I knew I would have you end this.

"I'm so sorry," I said as my body threw the woman at full force. The couple stared with wide as I went to pick up the knife that she had dropped. I knew what I had to do. I knew I could do it.

The woman didn't back down or stop. I knew that it wasn't her anymore. I knew there was nothing I could do. She went flying towards me I quickly Dodged the woman and pinned her to the ground she went straight into.

My eyes instantly went towards my sisters as the couple finally let them go and began walking towards the other side of the room. I guess they wanted a good look. I stared at both of my sisters as I picked the knife up the woman's chest. I knew I couldn't look at her myself.i didn't have the strength. So I looked at my strength. My family. Well, the family that didn't want me dead. They were what I had. They were what I had as I felt the knife go through her and her grip loosen around me. I knew would never forget this. I wish I could have.

I quickly felt arms wrap around me and pull me off the woman. I couldn't comprehend what was happening but the sound of a lock told me we were safe.

That was all I needed at that moment. I had never felt so empty.

"you guys get out now," I said as I picked up the gasoline on the floor. I knew I could handle the fear of what was now my family getting more hurt. I wanted to get this over with.

I felt Blair's hand grip around the bottle as the group walked off. I knew this was all her. She needed to finish this off. She needed it.

Tears fell down her face as she threw the liquid in every corner of the place that had broken her. I knew that it was almost over. I knew we were so close.

" let's get out of here," I said to the girl ad the place looked covered enough to burn to the ground.

"your right" she responded "I'm never coming back. Don't think this place will make it after this anyway"

I looked at the group waiting outside of the hotel. We had made it. Barely. But we were close enough.

I turned around to the place as it went up in flames. I looked at the windows. Millions of spirits stood there and watched us as we stood there.

The place had been beautiful even as it burned to the ground.

"what are you even supposed to be," I said to ben as he ran his fingers in his long brown hair.

"well I'm a ghost obviously," he said as he put his arm around Kennedy and gave me a sarcastic look.

"you know I should be at a lit party but I'm out trick or treating with you guys," Josie said as she reached on her bag and pulled out a piece of hard candy "and the candy not even that good"

"what Halloween party are you going to dressed up like a doctor?" I asked with a laugh as we continued down the large row of houses.

"look I'm just out here trying to follow my dreams bro," she said as she pulled out her stethoscope "you don't gotta be so mean Mr. Pooh"

"honestly both of you can't talk because your wearing couple costumes and what even is that" Blair added as she motioned to Me, Marc, Josie, and Wren"

"wait so you and Dean aren't wearing a couple of costumes," I asked as Dean shot his head up to see what the fuss is about. He gave me a look that basically told me he thought I was crazy and the truth was he wasn't really wrong. "I thought you were moto moto and the astronaut... I guess not though"

"i hate you" Blair said as she threw chocolate at the side of my head.

"yo Dean" I called "moto moto likes you" our whole group busted out laughing. Both Blair and Dean had an odd relationship so things like this were normal.

My legs had been hurting from walking but at least it wasn't as bad as constantly running that was for sure. I knew I would trade anything. Especially after the hotel. I had been perfectly content.

"you guys are The Pink Hotel kids" showed a voice from behind us. I never wanted to.hear that name but I had gotten used to it. It seemed like everybody had known us after what we had done. Or what they thought we had done. They didn't really know the half of it. "can get a picture" asked the man as he pulled out his phone.

I knew we should have just gotten it over with. After the man was done with his picture I knew I needed something in return.

"can you take a picture of us?" I asked as I gave the man my phone.

We all crowded around each other with smiles on our faces. Marc wrapped his arms around me while I didn't the same to Blair.

"I'm gonna miss October," I said as we finished the picture and began walking off " I kinda peeked at seventeen"

"This was probably the best month of my life," Marc said as we walked.

"is it because you guys fell in love in October," Dean said as he raised his eyebrows mockingly

I sighed as I turned to Marc "but seriously I'm gonna miss this month"

"well have more than enough months together," he said with a smirk.

"do you think this is about you?" I said "you're really full of yourself"

"fo you think this is about you?" he mocked as he walked over to his younger sister. Me and her had finally been on good terms but I knew it would take her time to open up.

"Blair," I said as I turned to the girl "what are you thinking about"

"everything" she responded as she wrapped her arms around me.

"same," I said as I did the same.

"I think we'll never stop thinking about everything. It's just something to have to come to terms with"

I knew she was right. She was always right. Even though it bombarded my thoughts I knew it couldn't hurt me anymore. That was why I was so happy. I had everything I needed.

Everyone I needed.
