today's the day.

it's 10:00 am and i'm currently getting ready. i have to pack all of my valuable and personal things in a small bag. because after today i won't have a home anymore. not that the pit was ever home but still.

i closed off my bank account yesterday, and transferee my money to a separate account to made sure all of my money was protected.

in 2 hours i could either die or make it out alive. so many things can go wrong and i'm a wreck.

i put on my favorite tshirt, my trusty black jacket, and my black ripped jeans. my head turns to my packed bag and i make sure everything i want to keep is in it.

once i'm fully packed i fall down onto my bed. i'm gonna want to savor this feeling. i won't have it for a while.

11:00

one hour. one hour until we intersect. i have to split off from the faceless and find ethan in one hour.

in one hour max, athena, and kingsman will hate me.

12:00

we all exit the vehicles and begin to enter the warehouse. blaine, sam, kane, and a few other guys head towards the main room.

i was supposed to circle around with max and meet back with blaine. but in this case i'm pulling max aside. i cant have max hating me.

"max" i whisper yell. we are both halfway down the back hallway when i nod my head to an empty room. he follows and we enter.

"what's wrong?" he asks quietly.

"this isn't what you think it is. i'm leaving and i'm not coming back. you're welcome to come with me but if not you don't have to. just please don't think i deserted you. i wanted to tell you but i didn't want to risk it getting out." i look down at the watch on my wrist and see that i have approximately 3 minutes to get to ethan.

"i have to go are you coming with me or not?" i ask. max look conflicted.

"max yes or no?" i ask again. when he doesn't answer i leave. i cant just wait around. i don't have time.

i swiftly move down the back hallways and through a tunnel to get to the room ethan is in.

"finally there you are" ethan says rushing to me.

"i'm sorry it took longer than usual to get away without looking suspicious." ethan nods and loads his gun.

"where's blaine?" he asks.

"blaine is headed towards the center room with 4 other guys. there's 4 guys on the west wing, 4 on the east, 2 at the front entrance, and 2 at the back.

i'm supposed to circle back to blaine in 5 minutes in the center room. he's expecting you to be there." i look at ethan and then all 40 of the recruited wranglers behind him.

"everyone know where they're supposed to be?" i ask. they all nod their heads and i look at ethan.

"you ready?"

"ready as i'll ever be" he answers. i cock my gun and take a deep breath. here goes nothing.

ethan, grayson, aaron, nash, nate, hayes, and i spilt off from the others and head straight for blaine.

my heart is racing so fast and loud i'm surprised people couldn't hear it. i felt my palms getting sweaty and my brain become hyper focused.

we're 2 halls down from the center room and blaine isn't far behind. we need to get there before him for this to work.

my legs speed up causing everyone behind me to speed up as well. when we enter the center room a weight is lifted off my shoulders when i see that it's empty.

thank god.

the 7 of us file in and get ready. my heart is pounding and i look over at ethan. no emotion. nothing.

my head whips back in front of me when i hear the door handle open. my eyes widen as i realize this is it.

sam walks in first and immediately becomes confused delaying his reaction time. blaine comes in next followed by kane and two others.

shit.

"well hello dolan." blaine says with a crooked smile.

"hey asshole." i hear grayson speak up. he moves closer to ethan. i guess blaine hasn't noticed me yet.

"wait what?" blaine says clearly angry.

"oh yeah. i'm still alive dickwad." grayson says amused.

"where is she?" blaine asks kane. uh oh.

"i'm right here." i move out from behind nash and make sure to keep my gun ready.

"you? you crossed me?" he asked clearly angry.

"yep. enough times to tie a bow." i said taunting him. ethan snickered as did the rest of the wranglers.

"you're dead." he says. and just like that everything moves in slow motion.

blaine points his gun towards me and i heard a gun fire. in that moment i thought i was me that got hit. i thought blaine had actually shot me.

but i saw his gun drop from his hands and he grabbed his arm.

my brain took too long to process it but the gun that went off was mine. and i had shot blaine.

sam and kane got ready to shoot but nash and hayes beat them to it.

the only ones left were the other two men and blaine was still alive but wounded. in this case your training tells you to leave if you're out numbered. so the other two men left.

blaine was laying on the ground clutching his arm. ethan was about to finish him off when we heard more gunshots and people bust into the room.

"WE GOTTA GO!" one of the wranglers yells. i look over at ethan and he looks at me. we both run out of the room and out of the central room.

while running i saw familiar faces pass by of my former gang members. my brain froze when i saw max and athena.

"i'll catch up go" i said to ethan. he didn't move.

"ethan go i'll be fine." i said. he looked at the door and then back at me.

"fine. be careful." he said. i nodded my head and jogged over to max and athena.

"alex what the fuck is going on?" max asks angrily.

"i told you this wasn't what you thought it was. this is your chance to leave the gang. both of you. i'm headed out and i won't be returning. i didn't want to leave you guys behind because i care about you both." i said.

athena didn't look at me but max did.

"so you've been plotting with wranglers?" alex asks with a betrayed look in his eyes.

"yes, but-"

"no. just go alex." max says. i clench my jaw and slowly back away.

"just know, i'm still gonna be your friend even if i'm not in the faceless anymore. i'm still here for you always." and with that i left the building.

i burst through the door and ran outside. i dropped the gun i had, grabbed my packed bag and ran. i kept running until i was so out of breath i couldn't move.

i saw bench in a bus station and sat down.

what the fuck do i do now?
