"MITCH!"

I run towards my best friend, held to the middle of the floor in chains. Getting faster by the minute, I bounce off of something and fall back.

"What the..."

I stand up and run my hand across where I bounced back.

"A wall?"

It was then that realization hit me. I start screaming and doing anything to break the wall.

"MITCH!"
kick
"MITCH PLEASE BE OKAY!!"
punch
"MITCHIE CAN YOU HEAR ME!?"
torpedo kick (look it up on YouTube if you don't know what it is)
"MITCH PLEASE I LOVE YOU!!"
chair smashes against wall
"MITCH DON'T LEAVE ME!!"
shoulder against wall
"BREAK YOU MOTHERFUCKING WALL, BREAK GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!"
elbow against wall

Nothing works.

As soon as I look up, I hear Mitch scream my name as somebody slices his torso WITH AN AXE

"Scott! Scott come on! Scott please wake up!"

"SCOTT!!"

I shoot up in bed to see Wyatt standing up on the floor and Mitch straddling me.

"Scott honey, what happened? You're crying."

"Just a bad dream."

"Oh. I got you this. Happy birtday love!" Mitch pecks my lips before shoving a box into my hands. I lift the lid to see a silver chain with a green and blue overlapping hearts pendant in the middle. I slip the bracelet on before pulling my husband into a passionate kiss, like it could be our last.⭐
