I opened the car door for her staring at her beautiful ginger hair. It was always my favorite thing about hair. Those beautiful locks.
"Here," I said pushing a box on her lap as soon as I got in the car. She looks up into my eyes confused. "What?" she asked making me almost pinch her bubbly cheeks.
" Well, open it" I said and she stared at me for a second before going for it.
She gave out a sweet chuckle. I had bought her a pair of comfortable shoes and a hoodie, she once told me she wanted to borrow mine. I thought she liked it, so I got the same one for her.
"But why Alex?" she asked. I leaned back on the seat folding my hands staring at her in disappointment. She thought I wouldn't do that for her?
There was so much more she deserved than just shoes and a hoodie.
"Hide them well. Next time you won't have to walk over the cold ground barefoot while getting out"
"Thank you so much. I love it" she said and I hummed staring at her pretty face.
She blushed, biting her lower lip ever so slowly and slowly and letting it go and I look away to make sure I don't overdo things.
"So, How was your day?" She asked as I took the pair of shoes out and removed the papers around them.
"It was Meh" She smiles as I put the shoes near her legs for her to wear.
"Yours?" I asked and every time She smiled I swear I felt better. "I planted some berries today. If I harvest them, I'll gift some to you"
"That's nice" she added looking at the shoes. There was a moment of good silence between us.
"And, is everything alright?" I asked feeling her fidget with herself and she shook her head.
"Why is that?" I ask.
"My parents are taking me to our town, for a wedding" I did not like that. With what happened years ago. I really did not like it. I sighed closing my eyes in frustration. I wish I could just stop her but I couldn't.
"How long?" I asked. I could see the tension in her eyes. She leaned back on the seat.
"Four days," She said. I took her soft hand in mine" I won't let anyone hurt you Lily" she smiled.
"I know Alex" She whispered squeezing my hand softly. "Can we go get some ice cream?" I chuckled in my head. And nodded.
"Sure, we can," I said pulling my car out the driveway and driving towards the nearest ice cream parlor.
She chuckled wearing the hoodie and the oversized sleeves dangling off her fingers. "Thank you so much Alex" I nodded.
I stare at her as she took bites of her strawberry ice cream, My hands clenching in a fist, and couldn't help but stand up and sit beside her. She didn't question it. Continued eating her ice cream.
"I should run away"
"No, you aren't" I immediately cut in as soon as she finished her sentence which made her chuckle.
"Okay Alex" I hated it every time she called me that but I never felt the need to force her to stop, after all, she was the only one who remembered the real me.
"What is this?" She asked as she saw a bandage peeking out from the shirt near my neck I lean back and stare at her. "What? Did you get hurt?" I laugh.
"It's a new tattoo" She rose her eyebrows, Her mouth forming an adorable 'Oh'shape. "What did you get?" I shrugged. "You'll see it soon" She bites her lip looking state at my neck, somehow making me kiss her.
I dropped her off at her house by one and went to my apartment. As always, greeted with the mess. And the stench of alcohol I had last night. The darkness and the cold air slapping me.
I Had everything I wanted back when I was a kid and yet, I am not satisfied. Because the person I did it for doesn't belong with me.
I closed my eyes falling asleep on the bed, Waking up late as always, and running around searching for another pair of clothes.
I see the newly folded clothes on my couch with a clean hall and sigh. The housekeeper must have sorted them herself.
"Late" I roll my eyes getting behind the counter and grabbing the checks I missed yesterday. "How's the work," I ask and he shrugged. "Normal. Where have you been? You hardly come by to see your own place" I chuckled taking some things and getting out.
Kaden and I were thinking of doing some stuff for the next race. We had to keep up with people from fighting all over the place ever since Kaden started taking over. That man attracted blood everywhere he went.

"I should run away," I said and it didn't take him a second to reply
"No, you aren't" I chuckled walking to my room. He was an idiot.
I climbed into my room and closed my window, sitting on my bed and running my fingers over the soft hoodie. I wished I had his hoodie. But the little thought he put into getting me this made me cry.
It was tough. I wanted to walk with him, I wanted to go out and eat nice things with him. I wanted to spend time with him by having him run me home very time an hour past.
I hated it. I wish there was another way.
I stare at my painting. Taking a long breath I picked up my brush and continued painting. I had no desire of sleeping. All I thought was about him.

I was in hurry to her home, I didn't believe myself. I had worried about her. I never worried about anyone. I heard something falling as she got out, she didn't look back but I watched her back as she made her way inside.
I pulled my car out the road and just five seconds later heard something rolling over the passenger seat's legroom. I glanced over and saw a bottle rolling back and forth. I sigh turning the car around. I could surely find which apartment she lived in. I was walking up the stairs as I once saw her through the large windows facing out of the building. My mind getting irritated as I remember I could've just given it to her tomorrow.
"What the fuck am I doing?" I mutter to myself scratching my eyebrow when I suddenly heard a distinct bang over a door above me. I walked up to two people trying to break in a door. My question was dissolved when we all heard a distinct 'help' sound.
