CHAPTER 27

Tonight is prom, there's no school today. Everyone is texting and calling others and asking about their dresses and dates. The malls are packed with last minute dress buyers. I'm not in the excitement mood with them. I just called up Josh to break up with him. I hear him pull up.

Here goes nothing!

   "Hey Babe!" He comes over to give me a hug. Knowing that might be the last time I might hug him, I hug him tightly.

   "Whoa! You are gonna squeeze me dry. What's the emergency? Our date is still on tonight right?" He is smiling.

   "About that... I'm sorry Josh but this is over. I can't be your prom date or your girlfriend anymore." I whisper to him. I have never seen the face of a heart breaking before but if it looks like the face that Josh has on right now then I don't want to break another heart ever again.

  "What?!"

  "It's not you! I swear! It's me. I'm leaving for LA tonight."

"So? We can still date! You can't do this to me. Please!"

"We can't! But we can still be friends. I decided to tell you now so you can find a date to take before it's too late."

"Okay if that's what you want. But I'm not going to prom."

"Josh please—"

"No I'm not going! There's nothing you can do to make me."

"I'm so sorry!" She moved over to hug Josh and cries in his chest.

(Josh's POV)

Anaise called me over today and I didn't know the reason was to shatter my heart into a million pieces. As I sit here in my car with her talking about how it's her fault. I feel like crying. Out of all the girls I have dated, she is the only one that I felt a connection with. She is truthful and honest. Sometimes it's like she's hiding something from me but before I can say anything, she explains her behaviors. If I weren't too young, I'd say I'm in love with her, but hey what do I know about love? I knew that she'd leave, one day or another. It was wrong of me to get her in a relationship when we both knew that it would not last.

My heart is in a million and one pieces. As I hold her in my arms, I know I might not see her, I raise her head at plant a good bye kiss on her lips. After a while, I let go of her and say,

"I will miss you and I will never forget you."

"I will miss you too and won't forget you either. Goodbye Joshua Beau Carmichael."

"Goodbye Anaise Cassandra Otis."

She steps out of my car and walks towards her door. When she reaches there, she blows me a kiss like the first time I asked her to be my girlfriend. Only this time it's a sad kiss, and I pocket it. This is gonna be a long, long year.

(Back to Anaise's POV)

When Josh leaves, I go up to the room and cry. Janice and Ivy came over earlier so they are here to support me. Ivy gets a tub of ice cream and cookies and Janice puts My Spy on Netflix for us to watch. It's almost like our last 'supper'. We watch the movie and some other movies till around one o'clock.

"It's enough cookies and cream for me. I have work to do." I change into my main outfit. The outfit designed specially for tasks such as these. This outfit is like a second skin but its super stretchy. I attach a girdle to my hips and wear my spy watch.

I don't even bother putting my hair in a ponytail.

"Anaise the boys are outside." Ivy informs me.

"Thanks. No matter what, you guys can't follow us or come looking for us. Take this watch. I will be communicating with you guys to make sure are okay. If anything happens, look behind my bed. There is a device connected to the up thereUse it to contact Mentor.If I'm not back my this evening then tear it off the wall. You may never know who is watching." I point behind my bed and show there the device. Then towards the wall to show them the camera.

"Wait! There has always been a camera in my room all this while?" Janice's mouth is wide open.

"Yes! Installed it on the first or second day I came here. I have forgotten the day." I leave them with some other instructions before wrapping myself in a coat. This is to prevent anyone else from seeing my outfit.

   I meet the boys outside and jump into the car. The boys are wearing black with a gun strap at their waist. They look badass.

"Let's get this over with already!"

Dave drives to the location that we were sent from the headquarters earlier this morning. The place is a building that looks like an old school. The place is on the outskirts of the city, son no one really comes here.We are already aware that Vivian and Adrian know that we will be coming today. There might be a trap set for us so we have to be cautious.

   "Both of you stay here. I will go from the back."

   "Uhh... no you are not. We're coming with." Dave says.

   "I need people to be here as back up. Speaking of back up, did anyone call Officer Ross?"

   "Yes I did. He said he will be here with back up in fifteen." Dan informs me.

    "Okay. Dan, stay here and wait for the back up. Dave, you come with me. Is the microphone connected to both yours and Janice's speaker?"

   "Yup!" He says, popping the p.

  "Okay let's go in!"

A whole lot of shit is about to go down!!!
