Nathan

"What's wrong...?" She asks, a bit worried.

I sigh, running a hand through my hair, looking into her green eyes.
"Well, there's an issue, and it's about your dad and his gang. We have a few people who 'work' for him and give us information regarding them. Well, your dad wants you back and he is looking for you endlessly. I fear we may be attacked... So, the plan is we are going to be leaving here and heading to our safe house in New York. It'll be a lot safer than staying here.."

She fumbles with her hands and looks down at them, processing everything I just said.
She has a worried look on her face but is quiet.

"Riley, you okay?" I ask.

"I- um, yeah. Just a lot to process... so we're going to New York? When are we leaving?" She asks.

"Tomorrow morning," I reply.

She nod and stood up
"Can I go now..?" She asks.

"Yes, if you need anything let someone know," I say, offering her a small smile.

She nods and quickly exits the room, leaving me alone once again.

Riley

I sigh and walk down the hallway, staring at the floor, processing everything Nathan had said.
We're going to New York? God, I've always wanted to go but I didn't expect this to be the circumstances. It just seems weird to disappear to New York with a bunch of strangers. People I honestly barely trust... I don't know how to feel about it. In a way I'm pretty excited about it, maybe I'll finally be safe...

I suddenly walked into something, losing my balance and falling, immediately snapping out of my thoughts.

I look up to see someone staring down at me, he looks annoyed. I haven't met this person so it makes me even more anxious.

His dark eyes stared down at me, looking over every inch of my body.

I look up at him, looking quite embarrassed.
"I-I'm sorry...I-I didn't mean it," I say quietly.

He continues to look down at me.
"Maybe you should watch where you're going, little one," He says, sounding annoyed.

He reminds me of my father... But I know that isn't my father. It's just the way he acts, his annoyance.

He put his hand out for me to take. I immediately flinch and prepared myself to be hit, closing my eyes tightly.

I open them moments later. He was staring down at me, looking a bit confused.
I smile awkwardly and take his hand. He brought me to my feet and looked over my body once more.

"I-I'm sorry about that... I was lost in thoughts" I say quietly.

"It's whatever," He said, still sounding slightly annoyed.

"Just watch where you're walking. Not everyone is nice around here" He says with a slight smirk, his eyes meeting mine.

I simply nod, looking down at the floor again. God, he gave me a weird feeling. I don't like how he looks at me...

"What's your name?" He asks curiously.

"Riley" I reply, looking back up at him.

"Mm, I see. Everyone here calls me AP" He says simply.
