How To Save A Life <FINISHED>

Murder In The Dark

*McKenna's POV*

"Baby you light up my world like nobody else, the way that you flip your hair gets me-" I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone, answering the call from Sam.

"Yeah, you won. I know." I said without even saying hello.

"IN YOUR FACE LOOSER!!" Sam yelled into the phone. I cringed and pulled the phone a ways from my ear. 

"Sam, meet me and Austin outside our hotel room okay? And KEEP IT DOWN!!!" I said before hanging up and walking with Austin back to the hotel room. 

After Alex and Sam arrived at the hotel room we all went inside trying to figure out another game to play. 

"What about murder-in-the dark?" Austin suggested. We all agreed to play that, but we cant team up in any way. 

"Alright, so how about we all start in different corners of the hotel room. When you die you have to go into the kitchen and sit on the floor. The survivor claims the winner title. Oh, AND you cannot leave the hotel room NO MATTER WHAT." I explained. "What about Michelle?" I asked aloud. "MICHELLE!! DO YOU WANNA PLAY MURDER IN THE DARK?!" I yelled up the stairs. Yes, our hotel room has an upstairs. I would think it has more than one room, but I thought wrong. 

"SURE!!" She yelled back. "DONT HURT ME THOUGH!! IM A GEEZER!!"

"No promises!" Austin yelled up to her. I walked over to the lightswitch and fllicked it off.  

"Alright, now everyone go to a spot in the hotel room and when I yell go then we start. Remember no teaming up, and when you die how about we yell 'MAN DOWN!!' okay?" I explained. "Starting positions!" I yelled as I quietly walked to the spiral staircase and went upstairs. I walked past the dressing room and into the bedroom. I crawled into the closet closing it behind me and crawled back as far as possible. Ah, why did I choose the closet? Closets creep me out...

I heard a bang and then someone (probably Alex yelled "AUSTIN!! WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?! man down." And then there was four. If I stay in here the whole time than everyone that tries to come in the closet will die. Just as I was finishing up my last thought I heard/saw the closet door creep open and Michelle crawled in. I quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist. She screamed super loud. 

"Man down." she grumbled.

"Dont tell them where I'm hiding." I whispered to her as she crawled backward out of the closet.

"No promises." she said obviously mocking Austin. Come on McKenna, man up. You cant stay in her for the WHOLE game. Thats what loosers do. I thought as I opened the door a crack and peeked out. I didnt see anyone.. I didnt see ANYTHING either. I slowly crawled out and walked to the staircase. Alright, you just have to watch out for Austin and Sam. Austin and Sam. 

"Dang it!" I heard someone yell from the dressing room. Sam. WAIT. That means that Austin is in the too! "Man down!" Sam yelled as she walked past me without knowing I was there. I quickly spun on my heel and ran back to the bed room. Instead of going in the closet, I slid underneath the bed and stayed there breathing lightly. I heard shuffling and I looked out from under the bed just barely able to see a figure standing just in arms length. I quickly reached out and grabbed at anything  I could. I guess I pulled a little bit and caught the person off gaurd, and they crashed to the floor. 

"OWWW!! MAN DOWN, MAN DOWN!!" He yelled. Yess I got Austin!!

"Gotcha!" I said as I pulled myself out from under the bed and ran downstairs to flick on the light.

"WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!!" I yelled as I jumped around stupidly.

"Stop bragging you poop stain." Michelle grumbled as she helped everyone get off the floor.  I huffed and then walked to the livingroom popping Finding Nemo into the dvd player. I plopped down on the couch, and everyone gathered around me. 

"Um, may I help you?" I asked as I looked at each of their faces.

"I have a question." Sam said to me.

"And um..  whats that question?"

"Are you afraid of... THE TICKLE MONSTER?!" She yelled as everyone leaned in and tickled me. Sam knows that I'm probably the most ticklish person on earth so she obviously planned this. She also knows that I hate getting tickled.  

"Stop it you guys, stop it!" I yelled trying not to laugh. "I ca-cant breathe!!" It was true. I dont like being tickled because its hard to breathe when I'm being tickled. They all backed off as I gasped for breath. "Now. Sit down and watch Finding Nemo with me." 

They all sat down and watched the movie with me.

"Bad Squishy! Bad!" Dory said as I got up to get popcorn.
