We entered laser tag and it was not what I expected. It was dark with bright lights, a small que was lined up and a wierd sound was coming from the back. "It seems really wierd" I comment and he just looks at me and begins to laugh.  "You know what laser tag is right" hecasks once hes done laughing. "No sorry, we never got to go on field trips to Kaiser tag whilst locked up" I retort. He frowns and a saddened look crosses his face making me feel guilty. "I'm sorry, its basically a shooting game" he says. Damn what have I gotten myself into, I didnt want to hurt anyone. "hey calm down wd can leave if youcwant" he says and although I could leave I dufnt want too partly because I didnt want him to think I was so weak I couldnt handle this game.
"Next group" a woman calls and we walked forward with the others. We were ushered into a room where we got told to suit up. The suits were black and way to big for me unlike james who's suit only just fit. We were categorised into teams and given a machine on our chest and a laser gun. Unfortunately we were on oppersite teams which scared me a little. "5 lives, last team standing wins" the announcer shouted and we were let into a arena.

The gun was heavy and within seconds I had lost a life. This was gonna be a quick game. I decided to go hide and shoot anyone who comes near me.

James
I watched as she lost a life within seconds of entering the arena. The shock on her face made me chuckle however it was accompanied with fear making me want to kill the guy who shot her.
The game went on and there team was dead, so was mine. The only ones standing was me and harper. She was probably hiding somewhere tocaboud being shot. "Harper, come out" I call hoping she would but I get nothing in response. "Its me and you now" I call again this time she comes out behind a hiding spot and walks towards me. "How many lifes you got" I ask hoping it was 4. "2, you" she replies. "Five" I tell her. "Of course you did"
We aim our guns and I was the first to shoot. It hit her and she lost another point. She is quick to respond to this and shoots me back twice . Three lifes left.
Soon after we are both on one life and away were both playing the game laughing as we ran from each other. She was hidden behind and although I knew where she was I didnt tell her instead I played along.
"James" I hear her call.
She said my name, omg. Damn. This made me happier and I wanted hug her right there. "Yes sweetheart" I call hoping to hear her voice again. "I fell, its hurts" she said. Fuck she was hurt, this is my fault. "Where are you " I ask panicked obvious in my tone. " here " she calls and I'm quick to go to her side. "It hurts" she said touching her ankle. It pains me to see her like this.  I go to touch her ankle to check to see if it's not broken however the next thing I know is she pulls the gun on me and shoots. I didn't know how to feel. The other 4 shots I let her have but this one i didnt. "Did you just shoot me" i ask trying to be serious. "Yep and this time you didnt let me" she says looking so proud of herself. I was proud too, she did it and i didnt even know. "Yes you did" i tell her and  large smile makes it's way onto her face. "I shot the mafia leader" she whispers to me and I chuckle and nod "yes and I will get you back later
