Should I go there? I was battling with my mind. What could that possibly be? Is someone in trouble? why should I go? But, why not? aaah...i'm thinking too much. This day is already a mess, and I'm feeling sleepy too, I yawned. "no Stop!" I heard a voice again. ohoo... I should decide before the scene ends.

I finally made up my mind to go there. I paced towards the direction I heard the voice from. I stopped as it was the end of a street, its soo dark here, I couldn't see anything clearly. I only heard some shuffling noises. So, I hid behind a bush -i guess- wich was beside me, trying to see what's going on. I closed my eyes a few times, trying to adjust to the lighting. Ahh, I can't see anything. I think I'm going blind. Should've not stayed in my phone until 3 last night. Seconds later, my vision came back to normal, guess I'm not blind yet. I could see there are 3 figures. I couldn't see anyone's face, but I could say, one guy is pointing a gun to one's head, and another one pointing a knife at the same one's neck.

So he's the one in trouble? Are they threatening to kill him? For what? Money? How much? Then whom should I help? noooo, i should help that poor little boy. He looks big but he needs help, so he's a little boy.

"Hey look here, We have someone to join you" the guy with the gun said to the 'little boy' laughing. how come i didn't even recognise I was spotted.  I'll always be on my guard at a situation like this, but something felt weird here... He walked towards me while pointing the gun at me. Here we go again, I thought to myself, sighing, reaching for my gun from my back pocket. "Look, she's also gonna die with you," he said, looking at the boy, laughing. Yeah, very funny. As I'm standing pretty close to him now, i could see his face. He had a bad bruises on his face.  "No stop! Uhh...Y-you need me right? Then l-let her go. I'll give you what you n-need" he breathed out. 'ill give you what you need' What could that be? But, hold a damn second! His voice...it is- Ok stop, y/n. First you gotta escape.

I sneakily brought my gun behind his head, while with the other hand, I hit his elbow, making him lose his gun to the ground. "Let him go, or you two are dying," I said, pressing the gun harder against his head. As I took a closer look on him, I could see a hint of fear entering his eyes. His hair was a mess, he was visibly gulping. His- I saw a Little shifting in front of me, I snapped up to see a body hit the ground. As the man beside me tensed up, I knew it was the one with him. Taking this as a cue, I fired the gun, as his body hit the ground too. Why did I kill him again? To help someone. Wow! This is literally the first time I ever helped, no, first time I ever, even though about saving someone, unless I get something for it.

We stepped away from the dark corner, towards the foot of a street light. The 'little boy' followed behind me. I turned around to see him... whoa- I stopped myself from gasping. He does not look one bit like how I imagined him. He looked...damn, I couldn't get any words out. He looks gorgeous. Those golden brown eyes staring into mine, flawless skin, those eyebrows, hair a little messed up. and oh, he has a couple tattoo up his sleeves..., control yourself.

"A-are you ok?" I asked glancing at him for any sign of hurt. "Yeah. I'm fine. And thanks for helping me." He said running his tongue over his lips. "Did you listen to me? I asked, what's your name?" He asked in his raspy voice, pulling me off my daze. "Oh ..um.. sorry, I was thinking about something, nevermind. I'm Lilly" I said, looking at the ground, trying to avoid his Mesmerizing eyes. He offered his hand to shake, which i accepted. "I'm justin, Justin Bieber." As I touched his hand, I felt something passing through me. Like electricity or something? What was that?

"Umm...by the way, who were they?" I asked few seconds later, trying to cut the awkward silence. He tensed up from the question. I internally face palmed myself. 'What are you even going to do about it?' I asked myself.  So I quickly added " if you don't want to talk about it, then it's ok"." No, that's fine. I was umm... walking down the street. Then suddenly those guys asked for money and umm.. I refused, so I ended up like that" he finished looking away from me.

I bet it's a lie. "Hmm, so are you walking home alone?" I asked concerned. Why do I even care? Since when did I get a heart?. " Yeah, but it's not a problem." he said " Okay, then see you later Justin" I said, taking one last look at him. "Kay, bye Lilly. Thanks again" he said waving me goodbye. I stood there still, seeing him walk away. He called someone on his phone. I took a deep breath, and forced myself to turn around and walk away.

What just happened? I kept questioning myself all the way back home. This was something new, something I've never felt before. I walked forward, trying to leave the scene behind. I just can't seem to forget them. I climbed up the stairs, tripping on few, if I might add. I made it to my room, knocking on the door twice, even though I know no one is in. it's just fun. I turned the door knob and pushed the door to reveal, nothing. I walked in, kicking the door with my foot, closing it. I went directly towards the bedroom, falling on the bed. This seems like heaven, I closed my eyes, welcoming the darkness.
