Christina's POV

" I promise I'll stay out of trouble and yes I understand that I can't risk it"

That was the promise I had made to Ms. Lee earlier today. And at the time I firmly believed I was going to stick to it. But now as I sat tied and gagged in what seemed to be the remains of a luxury garage I realized my stupidity and how fucked I was.

As one of the two men in the room with me approached, I desperately tried to squint my eyes to see his features but the only source of light was a lightbulb which looked like it had stopped producing light more than three lifetimes ago.

"You know it is such a shame if there were other circumstances we could have had fun." He said lifting my chin before harshly letting go and smacking me.

As blood engulfed my face and the man pressed the cold barrel of his gun to my hot sweat covered forehead that man's voice rang through my head,

"There's no such thing as a new beginning, the end of the story you escaped always seems to get you in the end."

3 days earlier....

While I knew the ride from the airport to my new home would be a long one I didn't expect it to be long enough to make my back ache. So much so that by the time we arrived in front of the house Ms.Lee worked at I was too busy stretching and thanking god for finally being able to free my aching muscles after so long that I didn't even notice Ms.Lee descending down the flight of stairs along with her son Yoongi close behind.

"Christina," she said quietly while tapping my shoulder. But even the slight touch was enough to startle me & bring me down from the pleasure of my stretching section.

"Oh, I'm sorry" I quickly said, apologizing for my behavior.

It might have seemed stupid but this women was supposed to be my caretaker from now on and the last time I seen Ms.Lee was back when I was a little girl. And while she had been nice my father had taught me people change quite quickly over the years.

"Oh no no it's fine. It's so nice to see you after all these years" she said while pulling me into a tight hug and then proceeding to pinch my cheeks. And while I hate to admit it this calmed me down and made me smile.

"This is my son, Yoongi. But you should still remember him. I mean it wasn't that long ago when you and he used to play together."

"Play?!  More like me running away from him while he threw dirt at me."

He stood to the left of her, with his hands in pockets, wearing all black and with his signature "I hate people expression" plastered across his beautiful face.

"Hey" I said, sticking my hand out to which he responded by looking down at it in disgust and turning around to get the bags out of the truck. Then he proceeded to walk up the stairs with them leaving Ms. Lee with a shocked and embarrassed expression on her face.

She quickly turned around to apologize but I waved her off.

"He usually isn't like th..." she wanted to finish that sentence but it was too big of a lie for her to even bother finishing.

"Don't worry Ms.Lee it's nice to see that at least one thing in my life hasn't changed. I didn't expect that to be your son's lack of manners but here we are" I said making us both burst out laughing while we walked up the stairs into the house.

*********************************

"I know it's not much but this was the only room that was left for the house workers. I know we will find a way to make it work" Ms. Lee said with a worried expression as she helped me unpack my clothes & place them in the small closet to the left of my bed.

"It's okay, I'll manage. What you are doing for me is more than enough."

And I full-heartedly believed that even if it wasn't I would make it be.

Because that was the truth that in reality she had no reason to take in the child of two fugitives in.

At the beginning I was quite wary of her intentions but I knew that out of everybody in this world I was more likely to be killed by an invisible force then be betrayed by Ms. Lee because unlike her son who made it his job to act like he hated everyone and everything Ms. Lee really was the embodiment of "having a heart of gold."

And while I layed in bed the night instead of worrying about starting a brand new school the next day I came to the realization that even if I was wrong about her I had no choice but to stay. Because I was in a foreign country of which its language I did not speak and the one country I did know wanted nothing more than to see me 6 feet underground.
