Yep, there may be some errors and I apologize for that.
Sean's Point of View:
I must have hit a nerve when I called dibs on Hannah. Damn, that wasn't supposed to happen, I was just trying to make her jealous and get her to notice me. Well I guess she was noticing me but not in the way that I wanted her to and I had no clue how to fix it.
"Those rocks are way too big to move so we're going to have to find a different way out. There are two tunnels, which one do we take?" Scarlett asked, putting her hair back into its place.
"You're hair's fine; you still look completely beautiful," I whispered into her eat as I came up behind her. She jumped and pushed me back.
"Whatever," she said, walking back over to Hannah. Damn, she was way madder at me than I thought. I couldn't be too upset, she was way too sexy.
"I have a good feeling about this tunnel right here. I think we should go this way," Trevor said, leaving us behind. We groaned and followed closely behind him.
I fell in between Scarlett and Hannah as we made our way deeper into the tunnel. All of a sudden Hannah pushed past me and grabbed the back of Trevor's jacket. She ended up knocking Scarlett onto her ass where she was still located.
"Do you need some help up?" I asked, taking her smaller hands into mine and pulling her to her feet.
I pulled her up so fast that she ended up face to chest with me in less than a second. I felt her nose bump me and I got a smell of her hair. Apples and strawberries assaulted my senses and it was amazing.
"Hannah, do you have a flare on you?" Trevor asked, drawing all of our attention. "Sean, I need you to time this on your watch, okay? Starting right now." The he dropped it down the hole.
Suddenly there was an explosion and I jumped back slightly making Scarlett giggle. Before I could respond Hannah asked, "Isn't that magnesium, professor?"
He rubbed his hand against it and brought it up to his nose. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it is. Too bad we didn't notice that in the beginning."
"I have a glowstick in my pack, I think that it would work better in this situation," Scarlett said handing him one that was already snapped. "Full speed ahead, doll."
"Sean, I need you to start the countdown," Trevor said dropping the glowstick into the black hole.
"One… two… *thud*…. Almost three," I counted aloud for him.
Trevor seemed to be doing math in his head before he announced, "That's about 200 feet down. Hannah, do you have enough rope to get us down there?"
"I always have enough rope, professor," Hannah said. Then Scarlett questioned, "Are we repelling down or something?"
Hannah nodded and looked over at Scarlett; "I'm going to hook you and Sean together. I want you guys to repel down together, okay?"
What she said started to sink in when I saw Scarlett take off her jacket and tie it around her waist along with a rope around both of ours. I leaned into her and whispered, "We're going to do a free climb into the black pit of nothing?"
"Yeah," she said, taking my hand in hers. "If you get scared, I want you to talk to me and we'll get your mind off of it. You have to trust me though, can you do that?"
I nodded, trying to ignore the sweat beading along my hairline as we took our first steps down. I must have been close to breaking her hand as we made it to about two feet down.
"Talk to me, Sean. Ask me a question or something," Scarlett said, locking eyes with me.
"So… Sc-Sc-Scarlett do you come here often?" I stuttered out and head Trevor laughing below us.
"You're not helping Trevor. This is scary for all of us," Scarlett chided. Then she turned back to me and smiled, "No, I don't come here very often. I know that you're nervous and it's really cute."
I could feel my cheeks heating up as I shook my head to clear it. Then I felt the rope start to pull down and my life flashed before my eyes.
Scarlett look down before squeezing my hand and saying, "I need to let go and get up to Hannah, okay?"
I nodded and watched as she took the knife out of Hannah's hand. Then Hannah shouted down to Trevor, "The line is caught on something; Scarlett is going to cut it and let you go down."
Before I could say anything Scarlett had cut the line and I heard Trevor let out a scream. I squeezed my eyes closed and took Scarlett's hand in mine, squeezing it.
When I heard her start laughing I opened my eyes and we were about three inches above the ground. Trevor was sprawled out and his breathing was really harsh. The moment I was free I ran over and sat down beside him.
I watched Scarlett sit down next to me and take my hand in hers. "I know this isn't manly or whatever so I'm going to whisper it. If you're ever scared or freaked out just take my hand and we'll face it together."
I couldn't express how much I appreciated that. I needed someone down here with me, even if I was falling for her. I realized how stupid this was, seeing as we might die down here.
"Hey Hannah, you knew that I was that close to the ground, right?" Trevor asked as we started walking again. When she didn't answer he repeated, "Right?"
I laughed with Scarlett and squeezed her hand. I wasn't frightened or anything, I just wanted to have her close to me. Suddenly she squeezed it back and I knew that it was okay.
"You were really sexy repelling down the mountain like that," I whispered to her. "It may not be as good as adorable but it's pretty damn close." Before I could wimp out, I kissed her temple through her hair.
