Once the boys were done partying, and Laddie and Star were asleep, Paul came over to where I was sitting. He grabbed my hand and pulled me from the rock. He led me back up the stairs to leave the cave. Once we were out he led me over to his bike. He got on then looked at me as though he was waiting.
"Well? You gonna get on or what?" he said after a minute of me standing there just looking at him, annoyed. Embarrassed I got on the bike behind him. I then noticed that the others including my brother were all on their own bikes. I wrapped my arms around Paul's waist knowing the speed he liked to go. He looked at me over his shoulder and smirked at me. He looked forward and sped off after the boys. I rested my head on his back getting tired. "I wonder what time it is." I thought to myself. A few minutes later we were at a bridge that was for a train. Once the bike stopped I got off, thanked Paul, and then went over to Michael.
Perfect timing." David said walking on the bridge.
"What's going on?" my brother asked.
David laughed." Michael wants to know what's going on" Paul and Marko laughed." Marko what's going on?"
I don't know." Said Marko smirking," what's going on Paul?"
Paul answered back yet I couldn't understand what he was saying.
"Why don't we let Michael…and Ashley understand what's going on?" said David putting his arm around Michaels shoulders and Paul put his arm around my shoulders. David then looked over at Marko who was close to the edge." Marko."
"Goodbye Michael, Ashley." He said, waved at us, and then jumped over the side of the bridge." Bombs away!" I heard him yell as he fell. I gasped in shock at what he just did. Paul smiled and went to the side of the bridge after taking his arm from my shoulders.
"Bottoms up." He said snapping his fingers then jumped. After his jump Dwayne was next.
"Come with us Michael, Ashley." He said looking at us as he jumped over the edge of the bridge.
Michael and I went over to the edge quickly to see if they were dead. What we saw shocked us greatly. All the boys were hanging from pipes that were under the bridge. Michael handed me the keys to his bike and then he went over the edge gripping the pipe.
"Come on Ashley" Paul said looking up at me. I shook my head, in too much shock to say a word. Paul nodded his head at me and moved over on the pipe he was hanging from, as if to make room for me. All of a sudden I heard something that made my blood turn cold. A train's horn. My eyes widened in fear and I went closer to the edge. "Come on Ashley, please." Paul said swinging on his pipe. I got a good grip on the pipe Paul was on and gently lowered myself down holding on for dear life. All the guys were hollering and yelling as if they were having fun.
"Welcome aboard Michael." Paul said laughing at my brother's expression.
"Fun huh?" David asked smirking at my brother.
The train was now right above us and the pipes we were holding onto started rattling and shaking. My hands kept slipping but I was not letting go. All of a sudden Paul let go, he fell, however he was screaming in joy.
"Don't be afraid Ashley, you too Michael." Marko said then let go, screaming as he fell. The next person, to fall was Dwayne, he fell screaming also.
"Let go Michael you are one of us," David said, then turned so he was looking at me," You too Ashley. You may not be one of us yet but you will be safe." Then looking at me, he let go and fell. Me and Michael held on as the train passed. We were looking at each other trying to hold on to the pipes. I looked down below us and I heard screaming and shouting from all of the boys. Michael's hands were slipping and all of a sudden he fell, screaming.
"No! Michael!" I screamed when I saw my brother fall to his death. I started to cry. "Michael and I were so close. He was so protective of me, I could tell him anything." I thought to myself crying in despair over my brother. I felt my hands slipping, I looked up and saw that I was barely hanging on. I looked down one last time then closed my eyes, screaming as I fell to what I thought would be my death.
