I stared at him for a good few seconds until he calmly walked over to Alissa, lifted her face and slapped her. She had little to no reaction to the blow.
"Stop it!" I said as I ran over to Alissa's tired body.
"I told you that there are no friends of yours welcome in this house!" He shouted as he tried to slap her again.
I stopped him, grabbing his arm and pulling it back. I made sure to scratch his face while I did so.

I quickly pulled Alissa up and ran out the door not even bothering to get my shoes.
We continued to run until the next bus stop.

I sat Alissa down and hugged her, noticing that she had been crying.
"Shhh you're going to be ok" I said trying to comfort her.

"What am I going to do Luz?" She mumbled into my neck.
"I don't know but I'm not letting you go back there" I said as I lifted her head up.
I stared into her blue eyes as the tears stopped flowing.

She slowly started to lean in and close her eyes. Soon I was mimicking her movements and leaned closer. Our lips were inches apart but then the bus interrupted us. I stared at the bus driver for a second.

"Where not taking the bus" I shouted at him. He gave me a thumbs up and drove away. I looked back at Alissa and she was getting up. "Where you going?"
"To the shops I'm not going to sit here till my father leaves the house" she said with a slight sigh.

I followed her to a small shopping centre, as we were walking I heard her belly rumble. "I want to grab something to eat, want to come?" I said making sure it sounded like I was the one that was hungry.

"Umm ok" she said as she led me to a small cafe. I quickly ordered a large portion of chips then we sat down outside.

She stared at the chips sadly.

I picked one up and fed it to her. She chewed and swallowed.
"Ummm... thanks ?" She mumbled.
"Blondie I want you to eat and I'm not taking no for an answer."
She didn't answer. I picked up another and fed it to her. She chewed and swallowed.

I continued to feed her the chips from the box.

                            ~Alissa~

Luz fed me her chips slowly as we stared at each other. It felt right to be in this position. We finished eating after a bit and she got up to throw the box away but I stopped her.

I don't know if I'm going to regret this but I pulled her in and kissed her. I kissed her until I couldn't anymore. To my surprise she kissed me back. We stopped to get some air and I noticed how deep she was blushing.

Did she like that?

She stared at me for a few seconds then pulled me back in. I felt her smile into the kiss.

I realised what I was doing and lightly pushed her back. She looked hurt.
"Did you not like it?" She asked sadly.
"No no I did!" I quickly said to her,
"Then what is it?!" She said with tears in her eyes. I didn't respond.

"It's your dad isn't it, you're still scared of disappointing him!"she looked annoyed.
"He doesn't deserve you Alissa!" She shouted. "Why do you care!" I hissed.
"Because I like you! And I want you to be safe and happy," she grabbed my hands
"You like me?" I looked down at her fingers.
"I do," she pulled me into a hug.

We let go after a few seconds.We sat there in silence for the better part of an hour. "My dad should be out of the house now, we can go get your motorcycle" I said more to myself than to Luz.

We got up and left the cafe shortly. We didn't talk on the way to my house. The silence was the most uncomfortable thing I've ever felt. But that wasn't enough to make me start a conversation.

We eventually made it to the front of my house,where we just stared at each other for a while. Luz was the one to break the silence. "I don't want to leave you here," she said softly.
"I'll be fine" I responded after a few moments.

She came closer and wrapped her arms around me. "See you tomorrow blondie" she said as she let go.

I watched her walk over to her bike,start it and drive away.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to see her tomorrow.

No notes for this one.
