Nik - Breaking Out

Day 3. 9:47 pm. Location: Under the covers, 'asleep'.

It was time. I was breaking out. I had heard my parents go into their room about half an hour ago and hadn't heard anything since. Well, all I heard was music. For over an hour straight, I just heard music.

I had to pass the time, and knowing that I wouldn't be able to go on my laptop while sleeping, I wore my headphones around my head and rested on my bed. I wore some dark clothes under the bedsheets, anticipating the time to leave. Which was like in over an hour. The headphones I wore were pretty much impossible to see in the darkness of the room, and I had already concocted a plan of hiding the headphones under the blankets if mum or dad came barging in.

Which did happen, by the way. At like ten minutes past nine, when I should be asleep, mum crept in to check on me. I had quickly but quietly hidden my headphones, acted like I was asleep, and held my breath until she left moments after. I let out a sigh and put my headphones on again.

Waiting. Until now. Imagine Dragons played and I knew it was time. No stalling, I had to go. Now.

''I know I've given up, A hundred times before.''

It was time. Some may say you go crazy after listening to too much music, but I disagree. Maybe breaking out was crazy. Maybe. No-one would think I'd break out of my home, not even myself.

''But I know a miracle, Is not something to ignore.''

I reached over the desk in my room and pulled the window up, letting in the cold air of the night. A part of me thought the window might be jammed but it thankfully opened easily. I put on a jumper and climbed onto my desk.

You take me for a fool,

I cleared anything else hazardous and crept through the window, into the darkness outside. As expected, everything outside was pitch black. Everyone was asleep. I pulled out a red hand torch and grasped it firmly in my hand.

You take me for a fool,

I chuckled to myself, amazed and still in disbelief that I'd actually broke out of my room. The same room I've been pretty much confined to for the past three days and the near future.

I never knew anybody 'til I knew you,

I kept my torchlight off in case of any nocturnal neighbours and headed towards the arena. Red here I come.

I never knew anybody 'til I knew you,

Rain began to drizzle, making the path in front of me slippery and wet. In front of me, my vision was obscured but I adamantly continued, Kygo's voice in my ears.

And I know when it rains, oh, it pours,

I hope Red actually comes. What if it was tomorrow night? No time for me to worry. I was coming.

''And I know I was born to be yours. ''

''While we're young dumb, Young, young dumb and broke,''

I rushed to the arena, and jogged around, looking for Red. I saw her sitting underneath a tree, waiting for me to arrive.

''Young dumb, Young, young dumb and broke,''

"You came!" Red exclaimed when I arrived. "Don't worry, I just arrived."

I doubt that was true, but I smiled at her, "Thanks for waiting."

''Young dumb, Young, young dumb and broke,''

"Thanks for coming," Red replied, smiling warmly back. Like literally. I don't know how to describe it, but on this really cold night, I just felt I slight bit warmer. Warmer, happier, whatever.

Young dumb broke high school kids.

I was ready to go in.

"So let's get going, hey?" I asked.

"Yep. So the place is pretty much deserted, but I'm pretty sure some Auxillary Officers are patrolling the town, so will check this place sometime soon."

We have so much in common,

"Okay, cool. I'll run in, grab the weapons, and we'll get out."

"What? No! I'll go in and you look out," Red countered. We argue all the time... "Why,? I can sprint in and out before they can get out!" You always say I'm wrong, "But... but I need to go. You won't... just... can't you just keep lookout?" Red pleaded. Her mind raced, there was something she wasn't letting on. I'm pretty sure I'm right. "Why? Okay! Fine," I replied in defeat. I didn't want to argue with Red. What's fun about commitment? "Cool, thanks! I'll tell you why later," Red replied, winking, and stared at the Arena next to us. "I'll keep watch. Here my signal and we run!" I replied. When we have our life to live, "Okay, wish me luck," Red whispered and hugged me before heading towards the arena entrance. "You don't need luck, we've got this done in like 5 minutes!" I joked. Yeah, we're just young dumb and broke, "Yeah, fine. Hey, and take your headphones off or you won't be able to hear anyone coming!" Red called out to me before beginning to jog towards the arena entrance. I pulled my headphones off, with 'Young, Dumb and Broke' still stuck in my head. I whispered the last line to myself, "But we still got love to give." --- That ended up making Nik sound like a hopeless romantic. I literally chose the next two songs I heard on my playlist, as the two songs to add in. It kind of ended up driving the plot, so please comment any suggestions.
