The Game

PART 12

"You're all over the news." Luke says to me.
"What?" I wearily ask, it's been a day since Ashton was shot.
"I said you're all over the news. They're looking for you." Luke explains, I can tell he's nervous.
"Let me go then Luke. I won't tell them I was with you, you can escape the country and be safe." I reply to him, trying to calm him down.
He shakes his head. "No. We're all leaving today, you can't go home."
I gulp. I don't even miss home anymore. I can barely remember it. It seems as if I've been here for my whole life, this is normal now.
"But where will we go? Everywhere will be swarmed with police." I question.
"I DONT FUCKING KNOW ESMAE!! UNDERSTAND THAT!" Luke shouts at me. I back away quickly and cover my eyes. "Look I'm sorry, I'm just stressed out." He whispers and cuddles me.
I sigh. "Okay."
"We need to leave right now. The police have a lead. It's breaking news. They're coming. Esmae they're coming!!!" Luke anxiously exclaims.
He picks me up and begins to run towards the warehouse exit. As he bashes the door open, police sirens ring through my head. The blinding sun shines down on me and I squint hard. I haven't seen the sun for a few days. It feels odd. I scream as Luke picks up his pace, he runs faster and faster, but with every step the police sirens get louder and louder. My ears ring and I begin to panic.
"HELP ME" I scream stupidly, trying to get the policemen's attention.
Police cars approach us and Luke puts me down. He draws his gun and points it at my head as policemen and my mum gets out the car.
Tears roll down my cheeks as I cry uncontrollably.
"HELP ME!!!" I cry as Luke's finger wobbles on the trigger.
"TAKE ONE STEP CLOSER AND ILL DO IT. ILL FUCKING DO IT!!" Luke screams, a slight wobble in his voice.
The policemen drop their weapons and put their hands up.
"You don't have to do this..." I cry to Luke.
The gun wobbles beside my head, his hands shaking profusely.
"But I do" he replies in tears.
"Please Luke!! I love you so much, just let me go!!" I beg, crying hard.
Everyone goes silent. Only the sound of crying from myself, Luke and my mother can be heard.
Just as I think it's over, one final gunshot rings and everything goes black...
