“What was that?” Em said with a certain look in her eyes tho I couldn't distinguish what that look was. “I don't know, it's probably just someone getting scared.”I told her. Then out of no wair BANG BANG BANG!!!! “THAT WHAT WAS THAT!!!!” Em screamed “ It -- it was a gunshot” Elijah told us while holding me behind him and not letting me go. Then we heard more gunshots and screaming, then we started to run not knowing where we were or where we were going.
4 hours earlier
“Em u have to come '' I told her. “No I’m not gonna be the third wheel on your date” she said while sounding dusticted about the topic. “Oh come on, please” I begged her. “Fine i'll come but you guys are not gonna kiss or makeout, nothing of that. Ok?” She demanded with a laugh. “Okay” I told her while laughing.
Em is short for Emily. Em is my best friend and the only family I have. My mom got killed by the “vengeance” which is revenge in French, I don't really know why she got killed. Em says that “vengeance” means revenge in French so that means she would have had to have done something. They caught the “vengeance” he was her high school sweetheart and he got his revenge on her because she chose my dad, Paul. But after a few years in jail he escaped and no one knows where he is. My dad is a drunk, he abused me and my mom for 3 years and when my mom got killed he just got up and left me when I was 8 and I've been living with Em ever since. Em’s family has always been really nice to me ever since my dad left, which I think was a good thing he would have made the rest of my life hell if he stayed. So I'm glad he’s gone.
“Em you ready to go get Elijah and get our costumes?” I asked her with excitement in my voice. “Okay, I'm ready” she replied. We started to go to the store.
“Elijah!!!” I yelled all the way across the road. We ran to each other and I jumped into his arms and kissed him because I knew Em would not like it, she hates kissing because she would always see her mom and dad kissing when she was little. When her dad cheated on her mom and left to be with someone else she just now hates it when people kiss, which now that i think of it I should have not kissed Elijah in front of her like that. “Eww guys I said no kissing of any kind” she said while sounding annoyed.
Em caught up to us and we started to walk to the halloween store and we went past the weapon shop and the windows were smashed in and there was caution tape on the broken windows I asked Elijah what happened and he just said nothing about it and started to move faster. Then I saw a glimpse of the inside of the shop and there was a puddle of blood on the floor. I started to realize that Elijah maybe saw the blood because he hates seeing blood and he started to run faster then he stopped at the side of the road and threw up. I ran to him and got down on my knees to make sure he was okay. “Baby I'm okay, don't worry.” he told me with sentey in his voice. Then he threw up again. “Are you sure we should still go?” I asked him not believing him when he said he was okay. ”Yes we're going it's your birthday and you have been waiting for this all year like you always are.” he said with a grin.
When we got to the halloween store Em asked if he was okay and I eshired her that he was okay then she said “no i don't think he is, look” while pointing to his face, it was drained of all color. “Babe I don't think we should go, it looks like you're gonna pass out. ” I told him. “ No we're going and i'll just take some tylenol before we go, stop worrying i'm okay I promise.” He told me then pecked me on the lips.
We got our customs and left. Em, Elijah, and I are going as Vampires this halloween. When we all got back to Em and I’s house we all went up to my room and we all just sat down on the bed.
“So when does the maze opening?” Em asked to start up a conversation to break the awkward silence. “Midnight, it starts at midnight.” I replied. I looked at my watch to see what time it was and how much time we had left till we had to get ready. It was five o’clock so we still had a while till we had to leave.” so I took a nap so I didn’t fall asleep later.
I woke up to everyone sleeping. I looked at my watch and it was ten o’clock. “Guys get up, get up!” I yelled while panicking. “ What, what is it?” Em said while Elijah was jumping up out of the chair from me yelling then sitting back down. “It's ten.” I said. Elijah had a confused look on his face while Em and I were running around trying to get ready. We were going so fast around the room that we smacked our heads so hard that we fell to the ground, we started to laugh thinking that we were crazy because of how we were rushing to get ready.
When we were done getting ready we heated to the Maze, we wanted to get there early so we could do the games and have some cider donuts. There were people drinking but I didn't drink and neither did Em or Elijah. “You guys want something to drink?” some guy asked us. I could tell he was drunk because I could smell the alcohol on him. Elijah grabbed my arm and moved me next to Em. “No we're good we don't drink and you should get some water, here’s some water, drink this and sit down.” He told the man trying to help him but the man did not like that. The man tried to punch him but he was too drunk to punch someone or ever pin a tail on a donkey with his eyes open. Some other guys came over to help us with the drunk man.“Thanks, and make sure he gets some water and eats some donuts to soak up all the alcohol so he doesn't throw up.” he said trying to help the guy and making sure the man was safe.
Even though he almost got a broken nose from the man. That's just how he is, even if someone tried to hurt him. On the other hand if it was me he wouldn't have been so nice.
Ding Ding Ding “Guys lets go, it's starting” Em said, when she heard the bell ring letting everyone know that the Maze is open. We started walking to the entrance of the maze and went in. Right when we stepped in a big person came out with a chainsaw, I screamed so loud that Elijah covered his ears.
“Holy crap babe you got a good set of lungs.” he said while laughing at me because I get scared really easily. Then I punched him in the arm for laughing at me. “Ouch” he winded. “And she has a good right hook.” Em said while laughing. We high fived then moved on to the next turn.
Bang! “What was that?” Em said with a certain look in her eyes tho I couldn't distinguish what that look was. “I don't know, it's probably just someone getting scared.”I told her thinking nothing of it. Then out of no wair BANG BANG BANG!!!! “THAT WHAT WAS THAT!!!!” Em screamed “ It -- it was a gunshot” Elijah told us while holding me behind him and not letting me go. Then we heard more gunshots and screaming, then we started to run not knowing where we were or where we were going.
Elijah grabbed my hand and then I grabbed Em’s hand so that I would not lose her in this chaotic maze. I was shaking in fear because I didn’t want to die because I didn't know what was after death, If I would go to heaven or hell, or if It was just going to be all darkness. When we were running we heard lots of more gun shots, people screaming and calling 911 with banic in their voices.
We were over halfway into the maze when we heard more shots fired. I wanted to grab my phone and turn on my flashlight so we could see where we were going but Em told me no because the person with the gun could see the light even though there were lights in the maze already.
We started to run faster trying to get out of this maze alive. After a while of running I sprained my ankle and tripped on something big. I looked around trying to see what I tripped on and I saw a lot of blood on the corn all around me and then I saw a pile of bodys and I started to scream and Elijah was holding me while Em was covering my mouth so everyone would not hear me screaming, hoping that the shooter would not fie us. Elijah helped me up so that we could at least try to get out of this hell hole.
BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!! “Ahhhhhhh” Elijah screamed and then fell to the ground holding his thigh. Em and I got down to the ground to see what was wrong and then it hit me he got shot. I took off his belt from his pants and put it above the wound to stop the blood flow and took off my shirt because I had an under shirt underneath it. I put my shirt on the wound and put a lot of pressure on it so he would not bleed out and die one me. “Baby stop crying i'm okay” he told me while wiping the tears off my face. “Your -- your not okay you -- you, you got shot by the lunatic” I said even though I could barely talk. While I was trying to keep Elijah awake Em was calling 911.
“No no please no” I said while balling my eyes out because Elijah's face went blank and his broad chest stopped moving. I put my head on his chest trying to hear his heartbeat but I heard nothing. “Emily he -- he's gone!” I told her while almost choking because I couldn't get any air from crying so much. When she heard me say Emily she hung up on the 911 dispatcher and got right down to me and hugged me till the police got here. When the police got to us they had to carry me because I was in so much shock that I couldn't walk.
3 months later
“So Isabella” “Bella” I interrupted “Right, bella so how do you feel now” she asked me like they always do on the last day of therapy. “Good, I feel like I can let him go now, I'm still on my ADHD meds” I told her trying to make sure she doesn't ask another question. “Okay we're done, I know this might sound weird, I hope you don't have to come back again” she said with a laugh. “Yah me too” I answered back. When I stood up she stood up right after me and we hugged and said our goodbyes again and when I left the room I went right home and got ready for that rest of senior year, I start back in a few days.
