Secrets

Amusement Park

Liz P.O.V.

When I woke up I decided I should probably take a shower. If the boys were trusting me to go to the amusement park then I wanted to look my best. I spent forever in the shower to get all the grime off my body. Only when I got out did I remember I didn't have any clothes whatsoever besides what I'd already been wearing. I quickly put them on even though I didn't want to. They were covered in dirt and blood. I couldn't go out like this.

"Josh," I called. He came pounding up the stairs.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I...I don't have anything to wear. These aren't presentable," I said gesturing at my current outfit.

"Oh sorry. I forgot to give you this," he pulled out a dress. It was a casual short sleeve knee length royal blue dress. Royal blue happened to be my favorite color. I ran and jumped onto Josh giving him a tight hug. This caught him off balance and we both fell to the ground. I quickly jumped up and took the dress from his hands. Josh got up onto his elbows and looked at me from the ground.

"Excited much?" he laughed. I smiled, pulled him up, and pushed him out of his own room. He was laughing as I slammed the door. I quickly changed and was about to ask about shoes when I saw a sparkle from under the bed. I looked under and saw a nice pair of silver heels that would go perfectly with dress. I slipped them on and walked out of the room. Josh was at the bottom of the staircase and I confidently walked down to him.

"Wow, all the girls I know would have fallen on their butts in those heels," Josh said. I giggled and followed him to the door. The rest of the guys were waiting in the foyer.

"Whoo, strut that stuff, Sexy," Andrew whistled.

"Sure thing, hotstuff," I answered giving him a wink. We laughed and headed outside. It was sunny with a slight breeze. Out on the driveway stood a blue minivan.

"Dudes, I know there's a lot of us but I can't believe you're suffering your pride by taking a minivan instead of taking two cars," I teased.

"Hey it saves gas," Josh defended. I laughed and Zach ran to the shotgun and got in. Josh got in the driver's seat and the rest piled into the back. I walked over, caught the passenger door, and glared at Zach.

"Move now before I make you," I growled. He threw his hands up in defeat.

"Okay, okay I'm moving," he said. I smiled and slid in. It only took a ten short minutes to get to the amusement park. Matthew bought us all cotton candy and the guys were talking about which ride to go on first but I didn't join in. It felt like someone was watching us.

"What's wrong?" Josh asked.

"It feels like someone's watching us," I whispered.

"Of course they are. You look hot," he said much too loudly for my comfort. My face flushed partly out of frustration and partly from embarrassment. That's when I saw them. Dozens of black-suited men in sunglasses...agents. They were all over the park. We passed by one and I saw he had a picture. A picture of me. They were looking for me and I couldn't let them find us, not yet.

"Josh we have a problem. We're leaving now," I whispered. I wasn't ready to go back to my old life, not yet.
