Hunter was walking away from me.
This was an awfully familiar sight. The memories of that awful and frustratingly unforgettable day came back to me in a flashback. The one day I wished it never existed. The one day where I lost the person I loved with my whole heart. The one day where I came to know of the horrible, heartbreaking truth.
I shook my head and pushed the memories to the back of my head. Where it belongs. Now, I had to focus on setting things right. And getting out of here.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I said as my voice echoed through the empty library.
Hunter halted in his step but didn't turn around, indicating to me that he was listening.
Swallowing my pride, I continued. "I'm sorry for being a bitch. That was uncalled for, I know. I can't find a way out of here without your help so can we please just forget whatever that happened between us—momentarily—and work together?" I sighed. "Look, I don't want to be trapped in here where there are limited ventilation and zero food. There's no point in arguing when we can be efficient and find a solution together." I said hopefully.
I had to make peace. Because like I said, there was no point in fighting with each other when we can focus on getting out of here and never seeing each other's faces again. I don't want to be stuck here and I definitely do not want to be stuck here with him. So, the sooner I find an out, the sooner I can get home to my safe haven.
Hunter finally turned around and sighed. "Okay, fine. Let's just call it a truce."
"Let's do that," I said feeling a little awkward. "So, now what?"
He looked away and put on his thinking look. Then, all of a sudden, he snapped his fingers. "Your phone!"
My eyes widened as hope started to develop in my chest again. "Yes! My phone!"
Without further ado, I ran up the stairs as fast as I could with Hunter right on my trail. I quickly ran to the spot I was seated at earlier on and picked up my handphone from the cold floor.
"Damn it, it's dead!" I said with frustration.
I actually kind of saw this coming because the last time I checked my phone, it was at five percent. Listening to music always takes up my battery. I always tell myself to bring a portable charger but I forget it every single time. Damn you, short-term memory! Why do you even exist?!
I was hoping there would at least be two percent of battery so I could send a text to someone but I never have any luck like that. The man above the skies must really have something against me. I'm sure of it.
"What about yours?" I asked looking at Hunter with a little hope.
"It's in my locker." He said scratching the back of his neck.
