The Day It Changed

Chapter Five

Ayanna's P.O.V:

I looked at Nikera and she was looking out the window, her hands were shaking. Whatever just happened, it must've scared her. I slouched down in the seat and sighed heavily. "Where are you guys taking us anyway.." I asked. Akiza glanced up at the rear-view mirror and looked at me then back at the road. "Just know that you'll be safe.... Trust me.." he said. My brows furrowed. Be safe? I thought to myself. With them?! We barely even know them!! I bit of my lip and looked out the window when I suddenly heard Stefphan laugh a bit.

"Heh.. I don't think she likes us too much.. " Stefphan said in a hushed tone. "So? She doesn't have to like us... We just have to protect them till the storm clears." Akiza replied. I hadn't realized that there was some sort of Southern accent lingering in Stefphan's voice until now, adding to what seemed to be his child like and carefree nature...

...Wait.

"How did you know I don't exactly trust you?!" I exclaimed, sitting up quickly, causing the seat belt to lock up and pull me back with it. The curly haired male laughed again, the raven haired male cracked a smile. Nikera looked at me, laughing a bit herself. "You don't trust them??" she asked. "Of course not! They're still practically strangers to us, Nick!" I yelled. And I thought I was quick to trust people.. "Even after Stefphan saved me??" she said. "That doesn't mean that they aren't up to something..." I muttered then folded my arms across my chest and closed my eyes. Nikera sighed and went back to looking out the window. Stefphan yawned and took his goggles off and looked at them, eventually going through the struggle to put them back on.

Akiza looked back at the mirror again, glancing at me once again. "Aren't you happy that you're getting a bit of action on a Friday night instead of just sitting around watching Netflix?" he asked, I kept my eyes closed. The question was geared towards me, but I stayed silent. I also didn't answer for the sheer fact that I didn't know what the hell he was asking me in the first place. "Hey." he lightly hit my leg to get my attention. "What..." I mumble, opening one eye and looking at him. "Did you hear what I said?"

"Yes but, you have to remember, I don't speak Japanese Akiza..." I said with sort of an annoyed tone to my voice. He sighed. "That's right, force of habit...I asked if you were happy that you aren't stuck in the house on a Friday night.." he explained. "Oh...Well I guess so..," I replied. "Are we close to where ever you're taking us..?" He nodded. "I think you'll like what's there...I could be wrong.."

After another few minutes of small talk, we stopped in front of a house that was well hidden. I took off my glasses and rubbed my eyes. "This house is so nice!" Nikera said happily. "It looks even better inside." Stefphan said and unlocked the door. Nikera and I walked behind him and looked around...And to my surprise, Stefphan was right. Akiza took off his headphones and slid the ponytail holder off from around his wrist, pulling his hair away from his face. "Steph, take 'em upstairs and show 'em around... I'm gonna make something to eat." he said as he took of his jacket and threw it on the couch. I think I was still looking at Akiza, that or I spaced out.

Akiza's P.O.V:

"Eh? Are you staring at me??" I tilted my head to the side and looked at Ayanna. It confused me but I shook my head and whistled, catching her attention.

"What? Did you say something?" she answered. "Yeah, were you staring at me?" I asked, this time in English. "What?! Why would I be staring at you?" Ayanna asked, crossing her arms. I laughed a bit and ruffled her hair, making her flinch a bit.

"I'm just messing with you, Wildcat.." I say. "Wildcat... Wait, how the heck did you know I was thinking about that?!" she exclaimed, her cheeks becoming a light shade of pink. I shrugged and started walking to the kitchen.

"I know a lot of things.."
