Chapter 3: "No escape from reality-"

Seth POV: "I didn't tell her that I loved her"

So tonight's the night that were are going to try to get out of here. I only say "try" because we might get caught. I told Ryan, Summer, and Marissa to go stealth but NO, they're too cool for that.

See people may not get where I fit into this entire plan. I'm the brains of it all. See Marissa is the skill, Summer the keys, Ryan the distracter, but this plan can't go down if not for the brains right?

Yeah so I wonder where I fit into this a lot of the time. Not like even just the group yanno? It's like where do I fit in this life. I don't know why but something is telling me that my answer is on a boat on the way to Tahiti sailing away without me.

"You pack like a girl." Ryan muttered at me.

"Just because I'm bringing more than one pair of underwear." I joked back before I looked down at my bag and realized just how much I had. It's no big deal. I bet Summer has more.

"I'm just saying that it's not like we have a car or anything, all of that you're going to be carrying on your back."

I looked down at my bags.

"Maybe I don't need so much underwear." I said which now left me an entire bag lighter.

Ryan looked at me and smiled. It was even harder to get a smile out of him then it is to get one out of Summer. I don't know, sometimes I feel like he just doesn't like me, like at all... When I was little I didn't have very many friends. I grew up on the eastern shore in Cape Cod. I loved it there. I had to move in with my grandfather in Newport beach after...

"Cohen!" Summer said as she appeared in my doorway with Marissa close behind.

Cohen, sometime I wonder if she actually knows my name...

"It's almost time." Ryan said tossing his backpack on his back.

That was the last of the bags, Summer and Marissa had been smart and tossed their belongings in a bush somewhere in the city during break time. We were going to go get them later. I looked out of the window, I didn't realize that the sun went down. My watch read 12:45, we wanted to have the plan in motion by 1:15 at least.

Summers POV

Here goes nothing. I knocked lightly on the outside of the security door where the late night patrol was watching the girl locker rooms... enough said.

"Hey Ronnie." I said winking at a guard I knew all to well.

"Hey Summer." He stuttered.

I entered the office and shut the door. I was wearing a pair of Ryans pants because I didn't own anything with enough material to hide keys in...

"How are you tonight?"

He asked as he pulled me to him so that I was now straddling him on the chair.

"I'm fine..." I said as I began to kiss his neck and rub my hands down his thighs.

Ronnie isn't the worst looking guy here. And he is better than the greasy old doctors that you can feel eye ogling your ass from a miles away.

"I've missed you." He said as he pulled me even closer to him.

"Have a rubber?" I asked him between kisses

"Shit!" He said as he sat me down in the chair and searched his pockets. "No, I'll be right back." He said planting one last kiss on me before he headed out to find a condom.

I rubbed my hands up and down my arms trying to get the feeling of him off of me. I took a deep breath as I grabbed the keys from the table where he had left them and then I made my way back to the room where Marissa, Ryan, and Seth were waiting for me. Seth gave me an odd look when I re-entered the room. I was silent as I tossed the keys on the bed beside Marissa who was paling with dark circles under her eyes, withdrawal.

"Ready?" Ryan asked taking charge of the situation. We all nodded unsurely.

Ryan was the first one to make his way down the hall and crouch in the corner by the main exit. He had the keys in his pocket. Marissa waited a bit before she made her way to the same place, creeping along the main desk so that the Roberto on the late staff couldn't see her. As not to be seen she had to squeeze her body nearly on top of Ryans in the corner.

Ryan carefully maneuvered across Marissa and unlocked the door. He made a space for her and allowed her to slip out first, and then he did. He left the door unlocked for Seth and I so we could slip out later. They went to get started on the main gate.

Seth gave me a gentle nudge and I began to crawl across the floor only to be dtopped by a pair of big black boots. I looked up to see Roberto from the front desk.

"Didn't know that you were on your knees that much." He said with a cocky grin

His words cut deep, but I would die before I let anyone know that. He yanked me up effortlessly by my arm... I guess he didn't see Seth in the corner.

"What are you doing out this late?" He asked in a growl as he pushed me against the front desk

I couldn't answer him, I had no words, I was frozen...

"No going to answer me." He asked

Even in Ryans big baggy pants I felt naked...

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Seth asked from the corner.

"Mind your own business kid." Roberto said still with a tight hold of my arm

"Let her go." Seth said

I was surprised by his confidence.

"What did I say kid!" He snapped pushing me to the floor and charging towards Seth. He punched Seth in the stomach, who in response kneed him in the balls causing Roberto to crumple to the floor.

"Come on!" I said grabbing Seth by the arm and pulling him from the building.

The alarms went off suddenly and you could see shadows of people running around.

"What the hell happened?" Ryan asked as we finally reached them out of breath. Marissa was working diligently trying to pry the gate open.

"Long story." I said quickly.

"Here!" Marissa said gesturing towards the hole in the gate.

"Come on!" Ryan said pushing Marissa and then myself through the hole, followed by Seth and then himself.

Seth risked getting away for me... he saved me...and just like that life as we knew it changed.
