Meeting for the first time

(We're at age 10 for this chapter.)

I let out a small sob into my arms that were currently wrapped around my legs.

"Hello?" Someone calls out in a polite and quiet voice.

I quickly run away all my tears and turn to see a girl, around the age of 8 or 9.

"Oh, sorry!" She keeps out, "didn't mean to interrupt, don't worry I won't tell anyone!"

I nod slowly, sniffling before leaning my head back into my arms.

"What's wrong?" She asks in a small voice as she sits down next to me.

"I t-think that I like...girls, like, like-like girls" I whisper to her.

"That's great! It's wonderful!" She cheers, gleaming quite happily.

I chuckle slightly before wiping my cheeks and smiling at her.

"I'm Alexander" she says while offering her hand.

"I'm Lila" I grin at her before shaking her hand.

================================

"Slow down!" Alex shouts at me as I continue to drive our stolen car.

"If we slow down they're going to kill us" I say calmly to her before curving around the corner quickly.

"If we don't slow down we're going to die anyway!" Alex screams.

I roll my eyes before pressing my foot down hard, causing us both to be pushed back in our seats as the cars engine roared out loudly.

Alex lets out another scream, but it turn into screams of laughter.

A smile reached my face before I slow down and reach our final destination for tonight.

"What's on the list boss?" I ask the 10 year old, me being 12 now.

"Well, Lila, we have to make sure that the...Richardson's have their message loud and clear, we're taking their son for work"she explains to me as she reads out from a small piece of paper.

"Alright" I simply say before readying my gun, holding it up and then kicking their door down.

An adult looking women screams in the corner, her tears perfectly in view as a man sits dismally on the stairs.

"Hand him over" Alex says in her business voice, standing in a familiar form as her father does.

"You're... kids" the man stutters bewilderedly.

Alex gives me a nod and I groan before shooting the wall next to his wife.

"I'll make this simple" Alex smirks at them, "hand over the boy or we'll kill your wife and take him anyway"

I honestly hated the way that Alexander was slowly morphing into the very thing she hates and what her father wants to be.

"A-alright! Jason, I need you down here!" The man shouts down his son.

A 16 year old runs down the stairs before his eyes widen and he goes to turn away.

I aim my gun back at his mother and he freezes in the stairs.

"Stop!" A girl yells, I look over and see a cute girl around my she stood in front of her father, "This is ridiculous! They need one child right? I'll go"

"Kailey-" her father goes to protest but I put my hand up, watching the girl with interest.

She steps up to me with a gulp and I inwardly feel myself melt as she gives a small smile, "I'll go with you and I will be fine"

Alexander scoffs behind me, "doesn't make a difference of which child we get"

================================

"Come on Alex! Why're you angry with me?!" I call after the emotional eleven year old.

She turns around to me and keys out a frustrated groan, "admit that you like her already!"

"What?!" I ask bewildered.

"All that lovey dovey crap is making me distracted in our missions! You guys are always watching each other and talking, face it. You. Love. Her" she tells me and I feel all the pieces fall together.

================================

"Seriously, you didn't have to invite me into your home because it was raining" kailey smiles towards me, I roll my eyes before shoving off her jacket and beginning to rub a towel over her hair, trying to dry it.

"I don't want you to be getting sick" I mumble as I continue to run her hair, she makes eye context with me and gleams.

I inwardly groan and scan my eyes over her lips-not even bothering to hide it.

She skins her tongue over her lip and I groan before stepping away from her-causing her to pout.

"If we do anything I will not be able to stop" I warn her as I sit down on my apartments bed.

"I don't care" she mumbles out before sitting down on my lap and slamming her lips to mine.

My eyes widen at her outrage before closing my eyes to enjoy the moment, I circle my hands on her waist as she holds my cheeks with her soft hands.

Her top rides up slightly and she shivers as my cold hands slide across her skin, sometimes sinking into her sides.

I deepen the kiss by pressing my tongue to her, causing a small battle to take place before she gives up and gives in to my touch-moaning into my mother and sending vibrations.

I turn her around so she's on her back and she giggles before I cut her off with my lips again.

================================

Kailey swipes her brush against the wall, adding the first pop of colour into my-our apartment, "I'm so glad we're re-decorating the apartment"

"If it makes you happy, then it makes me happy" I simply say before swiping my own brush against the wall.

She reaches over for the pot but skims my arm with the baby blue paint.

"Excuse you?" I raise an eyebrow at her and she giggles.

"Whoops?" She says before bursting out laughing, in return I swipe my brush across her face and she squeals at the coldness.

"You're going to pay for that!" She squeals and grabs the bucket, throwing hair of it onto me.

I shiver at the feeling before grabbing the same bucket and pouring the remains on top of her.

My arms slither around her before I pick her up into my arms and hug her close to me, "we need to wash this off"

"...and then buy more paint" Kailey adds before chuckling at the sight of the bedroom.

I kiss her head before pulling her along to the shower by her hand.

================================

"You know we can't do this! They will kill us both!" I shout at her, her eyes filled to the brim with tears as I hold mine back, "I'm going on a mission tonight with Alex...we're going to check shipments"

"I love you" kailey blurts our and my lips curve into a smile.

"I love you too, I'm sorry for fighting with you" I apologise to her before giving her a small kiss on the lips.

She goes to deepen it but I pull away from her, "I have to go"

"Okay, but I'll be preparing a dinner for when you come back" she grins.

"Why must you always be so romantic?" I ask her with a smirk.

"Because it's only for you" she smiles before pushing me out of my own apartment.

================================

Alex's father pushes me to the ground with a punch and I glare at him slightly.

"We have one rule!" He shouts out aggressively before kicking me in the stomach.

Alex stands back sadly, trying not to cry but I try and send her an encouraging look.

Kailey has just burst through the door with two security guards holding her in place, she was crying her eyes out and thrashing in their arms.

"If you're weak, we kill you" Alex's father says while aiming the gun at my head.

I meet Kaileys eyes and smile before a loud band occurs and my ears ring, being met with a black darkness that embraces me.
