"Eyes on the target" I whispered through the little ear bud fastened on my ear as I pointed the gun at the bulky man from afar.

I adjusted my gun, aiming at his head, ready to shoot when another gunshot cracked through the silent air. I looked back at my target, no longer finding him standing but sprawled on the ground in a pool of blood. I got out of my position, keeping my gun close as I stood up.

"Sweet revenge!" I heard Vaughn chuckle from behind me as he tucked his gun into his pocket

"Seriously, that was my target" I scowled

"I beat you to it" He said, sticking out his tongue

"You're not 13 Vaughn, act like you're 17 for once" I snapped, rolling my eyes

"Anyway, we're going out tonight, coming?" Vaughn offered

"I need it" I shrugged as he led me to his car

Vaughn dropped me back home, speeding off before mum could come out to yell at him as I followed her inside, giving dad a nod to tell him the job was done, just not by me this time.

I walked into the kitchen, the smell of baked pies wafting up my nostrils as I snatched a slice of my creation.

"Eat it before Vaughn comes and finishes that" Dad snorted

"It's not my fault he loves my cooking" I rolled my eyes,
I sprinted up to my room with the slice of pie still in my mouth.

I slipped into a little red silk dress, my lips matching the dress. I picked out the highest pair of heels I owned and brushed out my straight hair, lightly curling it as I snatched my car keys and went out of my room.

"And where are you going young lady?" Dad questioned, his glasses perched atop his nose, framing his brown eyes.

"She looks perfect" Mum smiled as I gave her a hug and waved goodbye to my parents and went to the garage, opening the door to my black porche and driving off into the sunset.

I stepped into the club, music vibrating off of the walls as Audrey and Bella waved a hello to me and dragged me off to get drinks. I downed the shot, making a face at the bitterness of the alcohol as the three of us laughed in our drunken stupor.

I made my way to the dance floor, not knowing where my friends were as I swayed to the beat of the music.

"Hola, Hermosa" I heard a husky voice whisper in my ear

"Dance?" He asked, a little Spanish accent in his voice

I turned around, seeing his face under the lights as he swayed us to the music.

His eyes caught my attention, deep icy blue intensely staring at me as he pulled us to the bar.

"What's your name" He asked as he called the bartender

"Elena" I answered

"Full name, Mia" He purred

"Why, you'd rather have yours there instead?" I joked as the bartender handed me the drink.

I looked properly, unable to make out most of his features under the coloured lights. He had straight brown hair, a burnt chestnut that was a mess after the night, a sharp jawline and an aquiline nose. I downed my shot in unison with him.

"Your turn" I said as I swallowed the burning liquid

"Jake" He said

"Jake, what?" I mocked
