Third Person POV
'Shit,' Chris thought, 'shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. I never knew his depression was this bad! I would have never thought Josh would go off the deep end and kill someone...'
Mike had just tied Josh up outside after he scarred them with his stupid prank as payback for his sisters. Though Chris and Sam had nothing to do with it they still got included in his revenge scheme.
"Mike we have to go get him he'll freeze to death and he's not well! It's not his fault! If you want to keep him tied up that's fine, but at least let him inside!" Sam said, panicking. She knew what he did was wrong, but he wasn't himself and she couldn't just let one of her friends die in the cold.
Mike scrunched his face up in disbelief and anger. "Why in the hell should I care!? Being sick doesn't mean he should be let off the hook! That's no fucking excuse to kill Jess! He can die for all I fucking care. He should suffer just like he made Jessica!" He screamed. Tears were about to overflow from his eyes, but he contained it. He wasn't going to show weakness. Especially when he knew Josh would get a kick out of seeing him break.
Sam stayed silent. She still couldn't believe Josh had killed Jessica. She knew it was Jessica's idea to pull the prank on Hannah, but didn't think that it was a big enough reason for him to think Jess needed to die.
Chris couldn't take the arguing anymore, so he decided to go keep Josh company for a little bit. He quietly slipped from the room and out the cabin door. Heading towards Josh, he rubbed his gloved hands together to warm them. The freezing air started burning his nose until it went numb. When he arrived he walked over to Josh and kneeled in front of him. The brunette didn't move and kept his head downwards, staring at the ground intensely.
"Hey... Hey Josh," the blonde whispered out, nudging the older boy's leg with his hand.
Josh didn't react and only tensed when Chris touched his leg to get his attention. The blonde sighed and sat down with his legs crossed. He wished that Josh would just look at him. They've been best friends for years and it broke his heart to see his best friend so upset.
"Josh, Em and Matt went up to the tower ya know? When we didn't know it was you we were freaking out really bad bro, so they called someone since we all thought there was a murderer on the loose. But, since the cable car is broken we could use some help anyways. Don't wanna be stuck out here forever," he tried explaining to Josh. He didn't know what else to say. The brunette wouldn't achknowlede him and it was starting to get on his nerves.
"Dammit Josh, could you please-"
A loud screech cut him off and he froze where he was seated in front of his friend. Josh had looked up from the ground and was staring at the snow swirling outside. They're eyes seemed glued to the opening of the building, waiting for one of their friends to come inside and laugh in their faces for being scared. When no one came inside Chris became worried and looked back at the slightly shorter man. They made eye contact for a moment before glancing back at the door.
"Chris... W-What was that?"
"Uh.. I have no idea bro," he responded while struggling to untie his lifelong friend as quickly as possible.
When he succeeded in getting the older male out of the restraints he grabbed his wrist and headed for the blizzard outside.
