Chapter 1

Expectations.

When he escaped that bathroom, he never expected that his life would change for the better. He never expected he would start a semi-successful business, never expected he would move out of his shithole apartment, and never even considered he would find her…

"No!" Adam screamed as the door slid shut.

Adam leaned against the bathtub in defeat. "Shit…shit…shit," Adam whispered, hitting his head against the wall. "Goddamn it! Fuck! Shit!" he screamed. He had to get out, there was no question about it. Finally, after about twenty minutes of pure curse words, Adam calmed down, slightly. "Okay, Adam. Think, how the fuck am I going to get out of here?" He said to himself. He thought about the man's final words. "The key to that chain is in the bathtub." Then, the idea popped into his mind. He flopped himself into the bathtub, and put his eye up to the drain hole. He could see the faint light of the key glowing in the drain. He tried sticking his hands in, but the hole was just too damn small. He ripped his hand out and, in his frustration, hit the water spout, which then broke with a pathetic ping. "Fuck!" He flopped out of the bathtub and lay on his back. "What am I going to do?" He asked himself, and then he crawled over to Zep and searched his pockets again, hoping for something, anything, that might get him out of that god forsaken bathroom. To his pleasure, Adam found just what he needed…a paperclip, wire, and a picture of Dakota Fanning. "What the fuck?" Adam said, tossing the picture to the side. He contorted the paper clip into a hook, and tied the wire to it. He crawled back to the bathtub, and shoved the paperclip into the drain. After several failed attempts at fishing it out, finally he hooked it. "Yes! I fucking beat you! You bitch, I fucking beat you!" he yelled as he grabbed the key. Slowly, Adam unlocked the cuff on his ankle. He stood up, feeling renewed, practically reborn, and walked to the door. He tried pushing it open, but it was heavier than he expected. It took all of his remaining strength, but he did it. He escaped. He was a survivor.

A/N: This was my first fic and certainly not the best thing I've ever written. And…Did anyone catch the Saw 3D homage at the end? Now…I am going to leave you with a question…. Adam, do-able or gross? Give me your answer with your review :)
