Chapter Thirty

 Tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day we are leaving here. Assuming everything goes to plan that is. We've been communicating via washroom wall writing but we basically have everything figured out now. We are going to Ryan's parents' house in North Carolina only a 5 hour drive or so away. I'm kind of excited but also nervous. I'm excited because his house is right on a beach and I've never lived on the beach. I'm nervous though because I'm staying at my boyfriend's parents' house. What if they don't like me? Or what if Ryan wants to hide our relationship? Either way that should be the least of my worries for now. Currently we are eating our dinner. The meal that hopefully won't be our last in life. I'm really concerned that if we get caught they'll kill us. Although then they wouldn't have anyone test on. But there will be a new one of us in about 2 months. It's the end of May I think. That's just a guess.

"Rae hurry up," Maia says to me as I eat my food slowly. I realize they are both done and the doctor is waiting to take my tray away. So I eat the rest really quickly, not even processing what could be my last meal. When they leave I just feel nervous. We aren't doing it until tomorrow night but it's nerve racking. God I would love to have Ryan calm my nerves right now! When we are left alone we agree to run over the plan together one more time and then go to bed early. We most likely won't get any sleep tomorrow night and if we do it'll be very minimal.

"Raegan that's good," Kacey says, "we've gone over it twice, you can't be any more prepared. At some point you need to let go." I sigh but nod. I know what they mean. Going over it over and over and over again isn't going to make me that much more prepared. I'm just nervous because nothing ever really goes exactly on plan. So with that we lie there to go to bed super early. Except I don't fall asleep until much later. Nerves are starting to take over me and I don't like the feeling.

The next day goes by quickly. I sleep right until the blood draws and they give us more drugs. I pray they won't do anything because that would postpone our plans. After they leave we know we are only going to see one of these doctors one more time to go to the bathroom. The butterflies surging through me are uncontrollable and those alone make me want to throw up or something.

"Anyone else want to throw up from the injection!" Maia exclaims. At least I know it isn't the butterflies. We get to go to the bathroom early today so we can throw up, meaning me going back to my room right now is the last time I will ever be walking into that room... hopefully. The next time I leave it will hopefully be the last as well. In exactly 5 hours.

In exactly 4 hours.

In exactly 3 hours.

In exactly 2 hours.

In exactly 1 hour.

In exactly 10 minutes.

The boys are coming to meet us in our room before we go to pull it off. Thanks to Kacey's illusions no one ever noticed that our door doesn't have a lock, but getting out through the main entrance isn't going to work too well. So we have our plan and we'll follow it. The only problem is the amount of things that could go wrong. It's definitely a high number but it's a risk I'm willing to take. A risk we are all willing to take. The door opens and instead of them coming in, we all take a breath and leave the room for the very last time.

"You got the doctor off post?" I whisper as we leave the room. Ryan nods and smiles with satisfaction. With this we head towards the bathroom, me checking for people around and Ryan making them leave. We make it to the bathroom with only 2 instances, but now comes the hard part. Well, one of the hard parts. Shawn closes the door behind the six of us. There is no lock so he holds it closed in case someone comes.

"Rae," Kacey says blankly. We all know this is my part. The nerves are surging through me but so is the electricity. I don't need to pull on the strings, I need to create the strings. Somehow since they took my chip out even that doesn't seem impossible. So I picture the strings creating themselves within me, then I start to draw from the walls so it's stronger and I let it out of my hand. But not just one burst of electricity. It continues to surge from my hand as I move them in a circular motion. I let go of the electricity and open my eyes that have stayed shut the whole time.
