It’s basically a hostage situation in a high school. I know that idea has been used a lot, but this is going to be similar to the old move Toy Soldiers. I’m on chapter 4, and in it, Ellie, the main character gets raped by Scars, one of the men holding them. She is caught trying to smuggle out of the kitchen as a weapon so they can escape. Is that too soap drama-y or is it good for a hostage story? Also, I have the final fight between them planned out. They’re running through the library, and they split up on accident. Scars is in there looking for them, and they’re trying to hide. Brady, the main character is crawling, knife in hand, when Scars steps out in front of him. Brady stabs Scars in the crotch for attacking Ellie, and Scars flips. He jumps on Brady, knocking the knife out of his hand. Brady is being choked, reaching for the knife, when he sees Ellie. With superhuman strength (I hate that word, Superhuman) she pulls the bookcase on Scars, killing him. Brady is completely covered by Scars, so he is protected. Her line to that is "Get the f*** off my boyfriend…" and she helps him up. Is this too cliche? I chose this as an ending because each of my chapters is named after a song, and so the song I listened to was Face Down by RJA. One of the lines is "Do you feel like a man, when, you push her around, do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?" Another is "Face down in the dirt, she said, ‘This doesn’t hurt’, she said, ‘I’ve finally had enough.’ " I think this song fits the situation perfectly! Sorry for ranting, but does this seem too far-fetched, or what? Thanks.
