Spencer's POV

My heart was racing. I had no idea if my plan would work. What if we weren't tall enough to reach the top? What if we toppled over? What if we never got out of here? I didn't want to let Hanna and Aria down. Not after I had gotten them all excited about escaping. I wished Toby or Emily were here. I don't even know if they are ok. Hanna and Aria haven't talked to them since they all got here. I guess it could be worse. At first, the girls didn't understand why I liked Toby. They all thought I was crazy! But at least now they don't hate him as much as before. I sighed as I stood waiting for Aria to retrieve the rope. I had to figure out the best way to get up. Since Aria is the smallest, she should probably be on the very top. But who's stronger, me or Hanna? To be honest, I have no idea. So I asked her,

S- Han?

H- what?

S- I'm trying to figure out the order of who stands on whose shoulders. Do you think you would be better holding both of us up or just Aria?

H- uhh, I think you are taller so you shoulder probably hold both of us.

S- ok.

A- I got the rope!

H- awesome!

S- ok. So, Hanna, you get on my shoulders.

Hanna's POV

I was shaking inside. I was so worried I would be too heavy for Spencer and that she would drop me. I took a deep breath and climbed onto Spencer's shoulders. It was a little unsteady at first, but after a minute, I got the hang of it and managed to keep my balance.

S- ok, Aria, get on Hanna's shoulders now.

A- how is that going to work?

H- I'll bend down as low as I can and you will just have to climb over Spencer.

A- ok. If I fall and break my neck, I'm blaming both of you.

I laughed and so did Spencer. Even when Aria was completely terrified, she still managed to humor us. That's what I like about her.

Aria's POV

I'm not saying I was scared or anything, but I was worried. But I mean, who wouldn't be? I am the one who is going to be on the top. If Hanna loses her grip, we both will come crashing down. I shook off the thought and climbed over Spencer. It turned out to be pretty easy once I calmed myself down. I slowly stood on top of Hanna, trying to find my inner strength and keep my balance. It took me a while, but I finally managed to hold on.

S- are you close enough to climb out?

A- almost. Stand up a little taller both of you.

H- I'll try.

I looked down and immediately wished I hadn't, for as soon as I did, I felt like I was going to be sick. It was a long way down. Did I forget to mention I am absolutely terrified of heights? That one look down send shivers all over my body. But I knew I had to keep my cool in order to escape along with Spencer and Hanna. So, trying not to think about it, I groped around for the top of the closet floor. I finally found the small hole and pulled myself up into the closet.

Hanna's POV

I saw Aria disappear into the darkness. I held my breath, waiting for her to throw the rope down. I have to tell you, it was terrifying, waiting in the dark, not knowing if she would return. But she did and threw done the rope. I grabbed onto it and shimmied my way up. I kept telling myself to not look down. I had made that mistake too many times in my life. Thankfully, I reached the top were Aria was waiting. I called out to Spencer,

H- ok. Well through the rope down. Get ready!

S- ok.

A- here!

S- got it!

H- perfect! Now just shimmy your way up and we will pull you if we need to.

S- got it.

We watched in complete silence as Spencer made her way up the rope. To my surprise, she did it rather quickly. I guess it was all thanks to her athletic body or something. When she got close, Aria and I hoisted her up onto the ledge.

Spencer's POV

I was so relieved when I made it up. We were finally going to be free! I had no idea what time it was. I lost track when I was trapped in the basement for so long. It didn't matter though. The 3 of us were going to be free and that is all that mattered. I looked up at Hanna and Aria. They were getting teary eyed. I sighed and gave them a hug to remember.
