Soulmates.

Liyah's pov~

It had been 2 hours since everything went down. The four of us were all gathered round at a table in the warehouse, in silence.

I looked over at Trayvon who sat in silence, staring into space. I have never seen him so hurt, let alone cry.

We already lost two people and now both me and Trayvon, Natasha and Daniel were the most wanted people in Atlanta. We were all over the news. We had the cops looking for us everywhere. Meaning we only had limited time to pack our shit and get out of Atlanta. For good.

"So what do we do now?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"We have to separate and leave Atlanta." Daniel responded gaining everyone's attention.

"I have 50 grand to my name. Me and Natasha gonna use it and go down to Europe. Probably France or Spain. We ain't sure yet."  Daniel explained.

"How you guys gonna leave the border without getting caught?" I asked, turning to Daniel.

"My father hooked us up with passports and some new identities. Thats the least he could do." H responded putting four passports and ID cards on the table.

"Do y'all know where you gonna go?" Natasha asked concerned.

I turned to look at Trayvon who was still staring into space.

"umm we haven't really talked about it yet." I sighed in my thoughts.

"Well whatever y'all do, you gotta know by tonight." Natasha spoke as both her and Daniel stood up, gathering all their stuff.

"We gonna start going before it gets dark. We have to get to the border as soon as possible." Daniel said.

He pulled me into a hug and wished me and Tray luck. 

"Take care of Natasha for me. I can't afford to lose her too." I said as I feel my voice crack, a tear falling down my cheek.

 I turn to Natasha, who was already crying.

"Im so sorry for pulling you into this mess. Now we practically won't be able to see each other as much anymore." I sobbed.

She grabbed my hand and lifted my chin.

"You are my best friend and imma always ride for you. I hate that it has be this way but we don't have a choice. Take this phone. It has my new number in it. You can reach me through here. I will call you as soon as we reach the border. I love you sis." She explained, handing me the phone and pulling me into a long hug.

She finally let go of me and turned to Trayvon.

"Always look out for each other. And I'm sorry about your cousin. He will always be with you." She said sympathetically, giving him a hug.

"I appreciate it. Take care of y'all selves." He responded with a slight smile before dapping Daniel.

We both watched as they walked to Daniel's car, putting their stuff inside. Me and Trayvon waved as they pulled off. 

I sighed as I shut the door. I brushed past Trayvon, grabbing my bags and began packing all my stuff.

"Are we really bout to do dis?" He asked me as he watched me.

I sighed, before turning to face him. 

"We came into this shit together, Trayvon. We're practically stuck together." I said looking at him, trying to force a smile.

He just analysed me. We continued to stare at each other. He came closer to me and took my hand.

"You know I love you right? And imma always protect you....even if it kills me." He spoke, looking deeply into my eyes.

I felt my stomach fill with butterflies. Even in the hardest times, he knew how to make me smile.

I rested my hands on his cheek, pulling him closer as our lips touched. His hands rested on my waist as I let go. "I love you too. And imma look out for you...always." I responded softly.

A smile spread across his face causing me to laugh.

"You defo folded." I chuckled causing both of us to laugh.

It felt like its been ages since I let out a laugh. It felt good tho....
