Won't Give Up

I look around and see the color coming in my vision.

I see I'm in a house. I look around and see its Jess's house. I slowly look around more when I hear screaming coming from upstairs.

My eyes widen.

"Jess!"

I run but shortly after I felt something sharp on my back.

I felt the pain deepen and I hear squishing noises.

I slowly look down and see a hand with sharp claws in my chest.

I see blood pour down from my mouth on the ground.

I see the claws go away as I collapsed to the ground going completely limp.

I feel something in my pocket get taken out.

I see my phone fall next to me.

I felt myself shaking and cold.

I felt tears coming as I hear foot steps come from upstairs.

I see something lift up my phone.

I slowly look up and see Jess.

My eyes widen.

'Jess....'

I couldn't speak... Like my voice wasn't working.

I see her looking at my phone in pure fear and dropped it.

I felt my body go so weak as I shut my eyes. That's when I hear her scream.

Everything went black.

My eyes shot open. As I quickly look around panting.

"Molly, what happened?!"

I see Kyle and Stan both startled looking over at me breathing hard like I scared them.

"Stan, your here?"

"Yeah Kyle said that I made it right before you went in."

"What happened?"

"I was in your house and I heard her scream. The second I said Jess something killed me."

Their eyes widen.

"You died?"

"Yeah... Guys shes so scared... It was so so real.... We need to find a way to get her out."

I take off my headset looking up at the guys.

They look at each other.

I see Stan walk up to me taking the headset

"Stan?"

"How bad was it?"

I felt my body shake. I crossed my arms looking down.

"It was pretty bad... I'm still very shook up."

I look down at the headset. Without saying anything he put it on sitting down.

I look at him feeling nervous.

"Stan... Be careful okay? It's very traumatizing."

He looked up at me. I see sadness in his eyes

"I'll try...anything."

I nodded.

"I know me too." I said feeling a knot form in my throat and near tears forming.

I walked up to him.

"You ready?"

He nodded.

I slowly push the button seeing him lay his head down.

I look over at Kyle. He was looking at Jess.

I walked over to him.

"Hey Kyle... Why do you hide how you feel about Jess?"

He tensed up.

"W-what do you me?"

"Me and Stan don't hide how much she means to us but you seem hidden about letting people know you really care for her."

"I just.... Am worried..."

"About?"

"People might get the wrong idea."

I raise my eyebrow.

"Kyle who would think that? And why do you care what people think unless...."

My eyes and mouth widen as I looked over at him.

His eyes widen as his face got a tint of pink.

"You like her!!!" I screamed out.

He slapped his hand over my mouth really quick and hard.

"Shh!!!"

I grabbed his hand pulling away.

"Oh my god this explains so much!!"

"Mollie be quiet!!"

He put his hand over my mouth again.

"Okay I'm done." I muffled.

I smiled so big.

"I can't believe it..."

"Dude stop, don't be like that when Stan wakes up."

I look over at Stan.

"Kyle.... I really don't want him to be in there...it's really....."

I sighed feeling my body shake.

"I love Jess to pieces but...that's was living in a nightmare."

"Did you feel it?"

"It was a numbing pain... But... Your mind plays the trick that it's real. You don't know it's fake until you wake up.

He look down really upset.

"Did.... You see her?"

"I heard her run to me but.... I blacked out."

I look up at him looking at Jess.

"What are we going to do? What is there to do?"

"I don't know Kyle but...she doesn't have too long."

"I...know...."

I see him slowly touch her hand squeezing it tight.

I see tears fall off his cheek. I felt my heart hurt watching him.

"Kyle... She will wake up. She has us and we won't give up."

He looked over at me.

"Have faith... If you lose faith then it'll drive you insane."

I see him nod wiping his face.

"Kyle.. How long have you...you know?"

I look back at Jess then him.

I see his face go pink again.

"I..... Guess I always kinda felt it but I just....can't even think about that."

I cross my arms

"Why?!"

"Stan is so protective over her! He would give his life for her and hurt whoever hurts her. He would literally kill me if he found out."

"Kyle... You have to tell him how you feel."

"No, I can't you don't understand! I just can't!" He yelled getting more and more scared.

I walk up to him holding his arms.

"Kyle you deserve to me happy, okay? He can't be mad at you. You like her you can't hide it... Or it'll hurt her when she notices your so distant."

He tensed up looking down.

"Kyle.... Promise me.... Tell him.... You have to."

He balled his fists gritting his teeth.

"Mollie... How could I? I can't... Jess probably doesn't think of me that way anyway."

"Only one way of finding out."

Out of no where Stan scream out loud.

Me and Kyle both jump back

I look and see Stan panicking holding his chest breathing really hard.

"Stan, what happened!?" I asked running to him.

"I.... Saw her... I ran at her but.... Something grabbed me. Then...."

He held chest breathing hard.

I slowly touch his hand.

"You don't have to explain, Stan."

"I.... Want to save her but.... I.... Think I'd have a heart attack if I went in there again."

I look over at Kyle.

He tensed up.

"Kyle.... Do you think you could...."

He looked at Jess and nodded slowly.

He got up walking to Stan.

"Kyle it's.... Really... Bad..."

"I know.... But... I'll try..."

He took off the headset handing it to Kyle.

They switched spots.

Kyle put the headset on.

"Kyle.... Be careful."

He looked at me the Stan.

"I'll try."

I slowly pushed the button.

He set his head down.

I look over at Stan. He was still shaking looking like he was holding back tears.

I walked up to him.

"Stan, are you okay?"

He crossing his arms shaking as if he was freezing.

"I was so close to holding her. I can't lose her.."

He started tearing up.

I slowly wrap my arms around him hugging him softly.

He began crying hard holding me tight.

"It's okay Stan... We will keep trying."

"Mollie... It was so difficult... And so real... My body is still processing that wasn't real..."

"I know but.. We won't give up..."

He nodded.

"Mollie... Your a really good friend... Jess is so lucky to have you."

I lightly chuckle.

"I try really hard being there for her and her family."

He squeezed in the hug.

I smiled hugging him back.

'I love Jess like a sister but..I can only do so much for her..I know she would want me looking after Stan right now. I'll be sure to do just that.'
