So I just opened up to find 1,600 views! Thank you to everyone to has read my story :D Remember to follow this story if you like it cause I dedicate each chapter to followers! This chapter is dedicated to hannahsierraXO :) I should let you all know right now that I'm having Marcus Butler feels so he's gonna get a lot of mentioning in this chapter cause he could rap it all day while he's eating subway (NO MAYO! NO MAYO!) idek... I'm kind of obsessed with that song atm.
I roll over and see Jack sleeping peacefully next to me. I smile a little and roll back the other way, falling off the mattress. I jump up and at look around the room.
"Wake up, idiots!" Wyatt screams. The others wake with a jump. "Already up, Princess?" Wyatt says and turns to face me. I take a step back and fall onto Jack.
"Crap! Sorry..." I mutter.
"Don't worry about it. It's not the first time I've had to catch you." He winks, making me giggle.
"I'm sorry, am I disturbing a moment here?" Wyatt growls and both Jack and I sit up straight and stay quiet. "Didn't think so. Anyways, you've got another two thousand. Pick who's leaving." Wyatt shuts the door as he leaves.
"Two thousand overnight?" Troye questions.
"Bella should go." Marcus says. I look up at him and shake my head.
"Oh hell no! I'm not leaving here knowing you guys aren't safe!" I yell.
"You heard Peregin... You're gonna be the hardest to get out." Marcus replies. I keep shaking my head.
"No. I'm not going." I state.
"Babe..." Jack whispers.
"No! Babe nothing! I'm not leaving and that's that. I think Dan should be one of the people to go." I say. Dan looks up at us, his eyes are red and puffy.
"Fine, Dan goes. Who else?" Caspar asks.
"Zoe!" Alfie blurts out. Zoe turns around and playfully hits him on the arm.
"No! Not without you!" She whines.
"You're going, Zoe. I'll be there soon." Alfie tells her. Zoe sighs as Wyatt pushes the door open again.
"Alright! Who's going?" He says, looking at his nails which are obviously broken down and dirty. Tyler helps Dan stand up and Zoe is pushed to the door by Alfie.
"Alfie! No! Alfie!" She shouts. The door is closed and Zoe and Dan are gone.
"Nice to know Zoe thinks about me..." Joe speaks up, we all look at him and smile.
"And then there were 9..." Marcus says.
After a while, Jack, Joe, Tyler and Troye all fall asleep. The awake people drag their mattresses into a corner of the room and the other mattresses to another corner.
"Why didn't you want to go?" Marcus asks me. Finn, Caspar and Alfie have engaged in a conversation about videos.
"I didn't want to leave Jack here because I know he wouldn't leave until every single person was gone and then I don't want to know what they would do to him." Marcus doesn't reply for a while.
"You know Jack really loves you." Marcus tells me. I look over at Jack sleeping and hold onto the charm bracelet Jack gave me.
"I know..." I say.
"Who do you think should go next?" Marcus asks.
"Why are you asking me?" I say.
"Because quite honestly you're the only person who seems to know what to do around here." Marcus says.
"Huh, I just want everyone out of here safely. But if I'm being honest, Alfie deserves to go." I say.
"Yeah... You could hear Zoe screaming for him all the way down the hall." Marcus sighs, looking down at his hands.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Nothing. I just never thought I'd be in a hostage situation. These guys have got guns and they're completely serious about it all."
"I know... If anyone gets hurt I swear I'm going to make them pay." I say, Marcus just laughs.
"What if someone does get hurt?" Marcus asks worryingly.
"We'll make them pay." I reply. Marcus and I both smile. "Hey why do people call you Marky Butbut?"
"Blame your boyfriend for that..." Marcus says and laughs a little.
"Marky Butbut!" Finn sings out.
"No, shut up!" Marcus exclaims.
"Marky Butbut!" Caspar joins in. Marcus groans and lies back on his mattress. Soon, Alfie and I have joined in the chanting.
"Look, I swear if you guys don't sto-" Marcus begins but the door is opened again.
"If all goes at this rate everyone will be gone before we can blink." Pixel says as Peregin opens the door.
"All right, another thousand. Have you pre-picked who's leaving?" Peregin grunts.
"Alfie." Marcus and I say in unison. Alfie looks over at us and gasps. We nod and he slowly gets up.
"Thank you." He mouths to both Marcus and I.
"So when did you decide Alfie was leaving?" Caspar asks us after Peregin and Pixel are gone.
"While you three were talking about whatever you were talking about..." Marcus explains.
"Oh, so have you already pre-decided who's going next?" Finn asks.
"No! We just thought... It was for Zoe's benefit." I tell him.
"I think Tyler and Troye should be next." Finn says. Caspar looks from Marcus to me to Finn and then nods. It's settled then... Tyler and Troye are going next.
