Akura’s P.O.V
I grabbed Hope in hug her tight against my chest laying my head down on the curve of her neck. I squeezed my eyes shut tightly, trying to disappear; trying to ignore the constant banging’s on my door. The nurses where trying to get in for the past hour, but I can’t let them take Hope from me. If only these windows weren’t bulletproof, and there was another way of getting out of here… I would be long gone! I’ll be far far away where no one could find me and Hope… But there is no hope left, they’ll get in somehow.
I wiped the tears away from my cheek and placed the now crying Hope on my bed and thought of something.
Maybe I can break those windows with something…
The idea of breaking bulletproof windows sounded crazy but they already think I’m crazy right? I picked up a few things and then wrapped them around my bed sheets forming some sort of bag. Everything is packed, now the only thing I need if my one way ticket out of here. I thought to myself looking around for anything. As the banging on my door got louder, my panic raised 10x more. I started trashing the whole place more than it was and started slamming random things on the small window. I picked up one of my bureau’s drawers and with all my force; I slammed it against the window. I took in a deep sharp breath as I looked at the window with yet no success.
Think Akura… THINK!
“This place is old, Right?” I mumbled to myself. “The window probably, hasn’t been changed in a LONG time… All I need is something hard enough that I could smash against it…” I continued looking at my bed. “BINGO” I smirked down at one of the metal tubes sustaining my bed. This metal tube is loose which means I can easily take it off. I stood up and picked up Hope in my arms and placed her in the floor next to me. She was peacefully asleep maybe knowing that I am really going to save her. I pulled onto the metal tube hard and luckily it came off. Wiping off some sweat out of my forehead I stood up and looked determinedly at the window.
Well here goes nothing…
I took a few steps back, making sure my back hits the wall. “Ahhhhhhh” I screamed furiously running towards the window. I hit it with all my force repeatedly until I heard it crack. I took in a deep breath seeing the small crack on it and decided to hit it one last time. I prepared myself for what will be using all my energy and took in a deep deep deep breath. With all the force and energy left in me I hit it. The window shattered and the metal tube slipped out of my hand and out the window. I tried catching my breath and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of the moon.
I MADE IT! OH MY GODNESS I MADE IT!
I dashed over to Hope and picked her fragile body in my hands and wrapped her blanket around her, picked up our little improvised bag and took an extra sheet. I hoped out the window in the edge of the building and looked down. We were in the 4th floor which meant we are pretty high to jump, but if you don’t risk everything, you won’t get results. I hugged hope tight against my chest and turned around facing the window. I took in a shaky breath and let my body fall backwards into the concrete floor…
Ethan’s P.O.V
“Man! MAN!! WAKE UP!” I heard a voice very far away. I was barely able to recognize what that person was saying and most importantly I was barely able to listen. “MAN C’MON, WAKE UP! I DON’T WANT THOSE POLICE MEN TO COME OVER HERE! PLEASE WAKE UP! OH GOD, HERE I HAVE SOME FOOD EAT!” I felt as if something was shoved down my throat and I could barely breathe now. Everything seemed even darker… Darker than pitch black if that was even possible. I felt like I was falling into an abyss… I couldn’t see anything but I sensed the end coming near…
…
My eyes fluttered open as I was woken up by constant shaking. I slowly looked over at cellmate’s worried eyes. He sighed in relief once my eyes fixed on him and handed me a plate of some nasty looking food. I looked down at the plate in disgust and he just chuckled. “I know it’s disgusting but c’mon, you have to eat so you don’t pass out again” He said helping me sit up. I looked down and the food again and sighed.
I guess I’ll just have to eat it
I grabbed the plastic spoon and shoved the food into my mouth, swallowed it and then twitched my eye in disgust. My cellmate stood up and passed me a gallon of water. “I know it isn’t filtered water but you need to drink water somehow” He raised his eyebrows at me, I’m guessing kind of embarrassed of the water I’m about to drink. I shrugged my shoulders and smiled thankfully at him. As I started chugging down the water after eating the food my cellmate asked “So, what’s your name?” Once I was done drinking the whole gallon I looked over at him…
“My name is Ethan. What’s your’s?” I asked back with curiosity because I wanted to thank him for the food. “My name is Ashton. Isn’t it weird, we’ve spent over 2 weeks together and yet we didn’t know eachother’s name?” I shrugged my shoulder and decided to stand up. My body still felt a little weak but I needed to move a lil. “Well, Ashton thank you for the food and well we can say taking care of me? By the way, haven’t any of the officers come by and check on us?” I asked bewildered that I wasn’t in some crappy nursery room right now. He looked over at me with a mischievous grin and shrugged. “What can I say, I made it seem all this time like you were sleeping” I couldn’t help but smirk and pat his back. “Thanks Ashton. But hey man, now that we know each other’s name why don’t we try and learn things about each other” I murmured. “Just to kill time” I finished adding.
He hesitated but soon gave in. “What the hell! Sure, why not” He lay down on the bed and I sat on the floor. “So, where are you from?” I asked first. “I’m from Arizona. Not too far from here actually; how about you?” “I’m from here actually…” I mumbled.
The night continued this way until I heard Ashton’s snores. I slightly smiled to myself and decided that I should also get some sleep. Jumping into the upper part of the bunk bed, I pulled the cover up and took in a deep breath…
Lord God, you are my strength.
Hold my hand in my weakness and
Teach my heart to fly. With you,
There’s nothing to fear, nothing
To worry about. Hold me tight
In your embrace, so that I can
Be stronger than the challenges
In my life. Amen..
