Five minutes

♕𓅰♕

Five minutes- That's how long the sound of the sirens rang before I blacked out.

I was in the back of my dad's rover after having an attack. It often happened with my ADHD, doctors haven't linked the seizures to my disorder, but the black-outs were a symptom of hyperactivity on an empty stomach.

For the next week I was in the hospital under monitoring. Jack and Rachel coming in to visit now and then bringing me snacks, watching movies and brining me my dreaded homework and revision that makes me pray I stay in the hospital forever.

My mum staying and coming in with homemade food before having to travel on business.

My dad coming in and going when he got a call about a lead in the case he was working.

The case I'm supposed to be spying on.

The main man in the case was unidentifiable, but I knew who he was. He was the same man that made me come twice on his couch. The same man that taught me calculus. The same man that has been ignoring me for two days. The same man that stood in my hospital room doorway, his arms crossed, sleeves rolled and veins popping.

His eyes showed concern

He shouldn't be concerned about me. Not after he deliberately ignored me in the days that followed our ... encounter.

" Hi Ares" I smiled nonetheless at the Greek god - damn he looked good - "Hi Biene" he gave a small smile pushing him self off the doorway and waking over to me.

The slender fingers I always dream about, brushing my hair back as he took a seat next to me.

" What are you doing here ? It's school hours," I stated the obvious, but the look in his eyes showed he didn't care.

"Well, when my gir- student doesn't come to school for a week, I get concerned"

Mine

His previous words rang just like they did the last week.

" Oh, so you do this for all your students?" I asked, already knowing the answer

It was no

He visited me every time I was in the hospital with a bowl of -

" Here is your ice cream liebe" he handed me the mint chocolate chip and lemon sorbet deliciousness.

It was a weird combination but that's Nala for you.

It was silent for a while, I enjoyed the savory taste.

" Have you thought about the you know ... um Ermordung...?" I confused, used at first the word not registering in my brain, but then it clicked when I remembered the old German movie I watched.

" I'm down to help you, I told you Ares" I grabbed his warm hands in my cold ones. Our rings clinking. The ghost of a smile on his lips at my use of his name.

" I've actually been training with larger guns just like you know to prepare my self" I said not lying

My dad was a bit confused when he took me to the range and I asked for a sniper instead of my usual Beretta or carbine.

It's been going well. I even got a dress for the ball he wanted me to attend with him.

A ball with my teacher

Nice.

" Prom is coming up ... anyone special you're going with ?" He sounded nervous

We had a winter prom, since the last few weeks of school we would be busy with exams.
