Malek places his hand on my lower back as he leads me up the stairs with Jesse and aaron behind us.We get to the top step and Smith is standing next to Alice and Sam talking when they turn as we get to the top steps, greeting us.
"I made you guys breakfast but you have to eat fast" Alice says and we nod before going to the kitchen and eating as carefully and fast as we can before following Smith outside.
"Bye you guys" Sam says and we all turn to him on the grass on our way to the truck
I walk up to him and hug him tightly thanking him, I'm honestly sad he can't come with us.
Jesse hugs him quickly after and Aaron shakes his hand. I watch as Malek and Sam exchange a parting nod with a smile before we make it to Smiths truck. Malek takes the passenger seat while I take the back with Aaron and Jesse.
Alice walks up to our window and we roll it down thanking her again as she smiles.
"You're good kids, you don't deserve what happened to you guys and I hope going to the tribe will help make sure this never happens again" she says and we nod agreeing.
"Good luck" she says with a smile as she grabs my hand squeezing it before stepping back and standing on the grass with Sam.
"Bye" she says waving with Sam as Smith pulls out of the drive way pulling onto the road.
He starts driving down the road and I watch out the back window waiting until they go back into the house.
"You're coming?" Malek asks Smith looking over at him
"Finally" he says and nods. We drive through Los Angeles making it to the outskirts when he pulls off the main highway to a slip road leading further into the desert.
I watch out the windshield as we come up over the hill to find a tarmac and a private airport littered with jets and airliners.
No one says anything as we go through security and Smith shows the guard his ID. We pull through into the parking lot beside the open fence leading onto the tarmac.
He kills the engine and takes a deep breath before stepping out of the vehicle. We all step out after him and follow him around the front of the truck, Malek rests his hand on my lower back leading me. We all come to a stop as the car door from the SUV infront of us swings open.
A skinny blond rich looking girl steps out in heels onto the pavement and turns to us, I feel Malek go stiff beside me? She's gorgeous like a fucking model.
I look back and she's staring at him?
"Everyone this is Holly" Smith says as he continues walking towards her
"She's coming with us" he says turning back to us
"Malek?" She says suddenly and I'm beyond confused
I watch as Malek runs his hand through his hair before walking towards her, she immediately steps forward wrapping her arms around his neck hugging him tightly as he lifts her off the ground? Who the hell is she?!
"So you two know each other, fantastic. We have a plane to catch right now so we can talk later" Smith says turning and continuing to lead the group to the tarmac not wasting any time
I stand confused for a second as Malek starts walking with her but Jesse grabs my arm and quickly pulls me along with her so I'm not left standing like an idiot
"Who is she?" I whisper to Jesse and she shrugs
"I was convinced he didn't know anyone outside the prison with how little he shares" she says back "what are the chances someone he knows also has powers"
We make it out to the plane and it's commercial and Smith turns to us randomly handing us tickets.
Malek steps back towards me while we are going up the ramp as Holly goes up before Aaron.
"Who is she" I say turning to him confused and he doesn't give anything away
"I'll explain on the plane" he says placing his hand on the small of my back guiding me up which makes me feel slightly better? I don't mean to be Jealous for all I know it could be his cousin, although unlikely they don't look anything alike.
We board onto the smaller plane to find there is people already on it? I thought it would just be us?
I hand my pass to the air hostesses and she directs me to my seat in the isle beside Aaron as Jesses is seated on the other side of the isle. I watch as the air hostesses directs Malek over to the empty seat beside Holly across the plane? You have to be kidding me.
"Are you kidding?" Jesse says my exact thoughts
"Seriously?" I say under my breath.
"What?" Aaron asks overhearing us
"Maleks next to Holly" Jesse says leaning forward looking at Aaron
"And?" He asks confused
"He should be back here" Jesse says, at least I know she gets it.
"I'm sure it's fine they look like friends" Aaron says shrugging not to concerned
"Boys aren't just friends with girls like that" Jesse says crossing her arms
The plane comes to life as the air hostess starts reviewing safety procedures incase of a crash as the plane rolls out onto the tarmac lining itself up.
Moments pass when the lady sits down and the plane starts to catch some speed propelling us into the sky. I grip the seat intensely as we climb.
"Nothings going to happen to the plane, I literally won't let it" Aaron says seeing me anxious and I honestly forget we have these powers sometimes. There's a lot we could do before we died in a plane crash.
The ride is long and drones on and my brain can't stop thinking of theory's to who she is when I hear her laughing at the front of the plane. I sit up and watch as they are talking and if I didn't have a jealous bone before, I do now.
