it wasn't always like this but as of a year ago we had this little group me, Chris, and Josh, our friends Sam, Mike, Emily, Jess, and Matt, and Josh's twin sisters Hannah and Beth some of us were closer than others. I mostly hung out with the guys I'd known them since I was like ten and they were my first really long-term friends anyway but we spent all of high school together the ten of us hanging out in different groups and getting along in various ways and dating oh boy Emily and Mike were like the It Couple always but Hannah she she always had a crush on Mike I don't know why maybe it was his charisma or his looks or something Mike's always been a bit of a dick
but Hannah was head-over-heels we all knew it was obvious like me and Chris obvious apparently anyway each year Josh and his sisters invited us up to this mountain lodge in Canada their parents owned Blackwood Pines on Blackwood Mountain Mt. Washington we liked to call it I started going when I was thirteen and slowly the whole group was invited it was a big fun thing we'd all do together the older we got the less supervision we needed until it was just us kids which was always much more fun
in the weeks leading up to it I got this text from Jess we all kind of had this THING where we'd play pranks on each other it was just fun and we were all good at it in various ways and Jess said this next one would be great and it would fix a lot of the growing tension between the group because Hannah's little crush was CUTE but it was making things weird and it'd all be good fun she'd understand she was our friend
so Jess' plan was me, Jess, Emily, Mike, and Matt were in on it once Josh and Chris passed out from drinking like they ALWAYS did because there's no way Josh would be okay with this and Chris is just too good we'd leave out a note for Hannah to meet Mike in one of the unused rooms in the lodge the rest of us would hide Jess and Emily just watching Matt filming me helping him hold the damn selfie stick Mike would throw her this line and before it went too far we'd reveal ourselves and ha ha there it is Hannah we got you good and show her the video it was supposed to I don't know show her that she was being ridiculous or something it was stupid
Hannah was always a sensitive girl I knew this and still I didn't want to I don't know rock the boat make waves I thought it'd be awkward and weird for awhile but it'd fix everything I didn't think she'd take it that bad because I was because I just wanted everything to be fine so I pretended it'd be fine and if we did this then Hannah would get over Mike and we could all keep being friends and things wouldn't get WEIRD
obviously that didn't happen Hannah found out and was devastated she ran out of the lodge sobbing and Beth saw and
yelled at all of us and then ran after her it was snowing so hard that night and Sam said there was no way Hannah would want to see MIKE of all people or any of the rest of us and we just waited for Beth to come back with her and
they never came back josh woke up a few hours later and i had to i tried to tell him and he was so angry and we spent the whole next day looking the day after that took off time from college but we never found them the rescue parties never found them
i didn't know until now they were dead but em she this year when she she got stuck in the mines when everything started going bad and she found evidence that they died down there because of what we did
sorry that was long i just all at once fuck i'm such an asshole
[text] this got long
it wasn't always like this but as of a year ago we had this little group
me, Chris, and Josh, our friends Sam, Mike, Emily, Jess, and Matt, and Josh's twin sisters Hannah and Beth
some of us were closer than others. I mostly hung out with the guys
I'd known them since I was like ten and they were my first really long-term friends anyway
but we spent all of high school together
the ten of us
hanging out in different groups and getting along in various ways
and dating oh boy
Emily and Mike were like
the It Couple
always
but Hannah she
she always had a crush on Mike
I don't know why
maybe it was his charisma or his looks or something
Mike's always been a bit of a dick
but Hannah was head-over-heels
we all knew
it was obvious
like me and Chris obvious apparently
anyway each year Josh and his sisters invited us up to this mountain lodge in Canada their parents owned
Blackwood Pines on Blackwood Mountain
Mt. Washington we liked to call it
I started going when I was thirteen and slowly the whole group was invited
it was a big fun thing we'd all do together
the older we got the less supervision we needed until it was just us kids which was always much more fun
in the weeks leading up to it I got this text
from Jess
we all kind of
had this THING where we'd play pranks on each other
it was just fun and we were all good at it in various ways
and Jess said this next one would be great and it would fix a lot of the growing tension between the group
because Hannah's little crush was CUTE but it was making things weird
and it'd all be good fun
she'd understand
she was our friend
so Jess' plan was
me, Jess, Emily, Mike, and Matt were in on it
once Josh and Chris passed out from drinking like they ALWAYS did
because there's no way Josh would be okay with this and Chris is just
too good
we'd leave out a note for Hannah to meet Mike in one of the unused rooms in the lodge
the rest of us would hide
Jess and Emily just watching
Matt filming
me helping him hold the damn selfie stick
Mike would throw her this line and before it went too far we'd reveal ourselves and ha ha there it is Hannah we got you good
and show her the video
it was supposed to
I don't know
show her that she was being ridiculous or something
it was stupid
Hannah was always a sensitive girl
I knew this
and still I didn't want to
I don't know
rock the boat
make waves
I thought
it'd be awkward and weird for awhile
but it'd fix everything
I didn't think she'd take it that bad because I was
because I just wanted everything to be fine
so I pretended it'd be fine
and if we did this then Hannah would get over Mike and we could all keep being friends and things wouldn't get WEIRD
obviously that didn't happen
Hannah found out and was devastated
she ran out of the lodge sobbing
and Beth saw and
yelled at all of us
and then ran after her
it was snowing so hard that night and Sam said there was no way Hannah would want to see MIKE of all people or any of the rest of us and we just waited for Beth to come back with her and
they never came back
josh woke up a few hours later and i had to
i tried to tell him and he was so angry and
we spent the whole next day looking
the day after that
took off time from college
but we never found them
the rescue parties never found them
i didn't know until now they were dead but
em she
this year when she
she got stuck in the mines when everything started going
bad
and she found evidence that
they died down there
because of what we did
sorry that was long i just
all at once
fuck i'm such an asshole
