Blindly In Love

Tessa

*A few minutes before Vincent let Leo free*

I stayed in the car crossing my arms. Nate told me to stay hidden in there. He said if Ares' men saw me, they would tell him and they would never let me take part in this.

I didn't really know who Ares was, but I assumed he was the boss. I wanted nothing to do with him.

I had my arms crossed and was bouncing my leg, waiting impatiently for all of them to get in already. I couldn't stand the thought that Leo was somewhere in that territory and he was probably held tied up or worse. No matter how many times I told myself I shouldn't be with a person like that I couldn't bring myself to believe he was a bad person.

He wouldn't have saved me so many times if he was a bad person. He wouldn't be so caring, understanding and protective.

Or maybe I was just blindly in love with him.

I waited and waited until I couldn't anymore. My thoughts were driving me crazy.

What if it was too late? What if they could've save him and they got in trouble instead.

I didn't know why I thought I would make a difference. Those were trained killers and I was just a random girl who just knew only a little more than the basics of fighting and shooting thanks to my dad, but I couldn't sit around and do nothing.

"Fuck this" I mumbled getting the gun Nate gave me in case of emergency and the knife I always carry and got out of the car.

I sneaked past "Ares' men". They didn't know I was there and were too busy on their "mission" so they weren't paying attention to me.

The area around the building was full of guards. That's why the men were divided in teams of two or three, taking so long to get inside, and tried to be as quiet as possible and not attract attention. They weren't a lot, a couple more than 10 maybe, but I was sure they could do their job well.

One of the teams acted as a bait for the guards so that most of them would leave the area. I took this opportunity when I saw a part of the territory uncovered and ran there as quietly as I could. I saw a window and decided it would be a good idea to get in that way so that no one would see me.

But how am I supposed to climb up a flat surface?

I took a few steps back.

Maybe if I try to run on the wall and then hold the sill of the window?

It sounded too hard but I was willing to give it a try. I had to be quick.

I took a few more steps back and took a deep breath before running towards the wall and jumping on it, but I only managed to take step once on the wall and then fell on my butt.

"Fuck, ouch!" I whispered rubbing my butt, "Let me try this again" I said to myself, taking a few steps back again and tried again, but the same thing happened.

This would be easier if there was a tree nearby but of course this is hard. It's real life after all. Not a game.

"I need to do this. Okay" I told myself getting ready to try another time, "Third time is the charm"

Leo is probably so good at this. I'll tell him to teach me after we're out of here.

If we ever get out of here.

I need to stop being negative. We will get out of here.

I took a deep breath again and ran towards the wall and this time I made it and held the window sill. It was hard to not give up and fall, my fingers were holding on to it for dear life and I was trying to stay quiet and not grunt from the tension I felt.
