Chapter 4 - chapter 4

Max grabbed Acacia and I screamed "put her down, put her down, don't touch her please I'll do anything" I started to cry but I couldn't move I was helpless I was tied to the wall what could I do I hated the feeling of being stuck not being able to stop him and the worst thing was knowing he was enjoying this. "anything" he smirked and looked at me, I gulped but didn't reply, I saw him shake his head as he walked out of the room my best-friend flung over his shoulder, I looked at her I saw her eyes open I saw sadness and fear I felt guilt for not replying. Then he shut the door behind him, I began to wriggle out of the bed trying so hard to free myself but it wasn't working. Then with one hard thrust away from the rope my wrists were free, my wrists were bleeding from the force and I tip toed over to the door and opened it slightly. I peeked through the crack of the door and saw him injecting a sleeping fluid into my friends arm then I rushed over hitting him on the back of the head so he fell over then stabbing him in the neck with the needle he injected into my friend. But I missed.... He grabbed my waist and tied me to the wall then walked out.

"Acacia? Are you there?" I whispered to her "just shut up I'm sick and tired of you ruining my life all your mistakes have caused this sassy this is all your fault; this was your dumb party idea your dumb road trip your dumb breakfast and now neither of us will ever live to see out families become successful have kids of our own or even get married all because of you!" I felt said I didn't even respond I was stunned she's never snapped at me like that before and I guess that's under-standable but dam that's a new low she shouldn't bail on me now in a time of crisis I did technically just save her did I not? "i-im so sorry I know sorry isn't going to fix this situation but I promise you I had good intentions I didn't know he was going to do this I didn't know he was a murderer and what's wrong with my breakfast? Yes, I know it's my fault we ended up walking for 30 minutes but we bonded we giggled the exercise was good and now you should enjoy that moment because it was technically your last free moment so if I didn't crash maybe we would've been killed already maybe me crashing was the sign not to come? But you can't bail on me now we need each other to make it through this we need each other to escape I saved you just then!" I started to cry more I felt guilty and sad but sadder that she didn't feel sad for me I began to think what if we both die and she kept a grudge? What happens after we die? Are we going to make it? Why do I still care about her when she clearly doesn't care about me? I'm done! I should just give up! Then Max walked back in and my stomach turned once again but this time he wasn't grinning or smirking how come? What happened? Max grabbed Acacia and she started to scream she lended me her hand as if asking me to take it to save her but I didn't I didn't grab her hand I didn't save her. Max walked out. Why didn't I grab her hand? What's wrong with me? Why couldn't I just move my arm and help her? I whispered under my breath "im a bad friend, whatever will I do now?" obviously I felt guilty but I needed to work on an escape plan. I couldn't think of one at the time so I decided to just let him go along with murdering me until I get a chance to escape.
