Mira's POV
My name is Mira Stone and I was born in New York, in the darkest coldest part. Hidden away from the beauty of the city. My mother and I lived in a small building with a wired fence around it. No one else lived there but us. We lived there for as long as I can remember. But in day that all changed when I was 14. My mom called me and during that call I heard stabbing, screaming, and sirens, until the line was dead silent. Then a police officer picked up the phone and told me my mother had just got murdered. That was when my whole life was changed forever. When the police told me they never caught the guy he killed my mom I was furious. I packed up my things and left my home. After that my life was a mess I was always on the run. Stealing things and killing whoever got in my way of life. Now I am 19 an I still never found the person who killed my mom. I live in a little house tucked away among alleys. No one knows where I live and some how I manage to survive every second of every minute of every day. I sneak behind the darkness. They can never catch me even if they tried. People never look beyond the shadows. That's why I survive. I was on my way to the local Walmart when I felt a hand come across my mouth and drag me into an alley. I tried to fight my way out, but the person's hand just got stronger and stronger. He finally took his hand off my mouth and I was silent. My eyes looked at the person who looked about my age, was a little bit muscular, and was wearing a black hoodie that said Adidas on the front. He had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. He stood there looking at me and not knowing what to do I did the same.
Noah's POV
She was standing there looking at me and I was looking at her too. She was so beautiful. She had long black hair that had green, purple, and blue highlights in it and her bangs were tossed perfectly to the side. Her eyes were dark sparkling green and her lips were the perfect shade of pink. Finally the silence broke when she yelled "Who the hell are you?!"
"Ok calm down look I took you like that because I need you for something. I'm Noah and I'm sorry about that, but if you do this favor for me I will let you go and I will even pay you." I said trying to have a strong voice and persuasive voice at the same time.
"Ok...but what is it you need me for and how much are you going to pay me?", she said with a little bit of fear in her voice.
"I need you to come to California with me and act like my girlfriend so I can get into this fancy guy's house so he can give me money to give to my boss. If you do this I will pay you $50,000. So you wanna do it?", I asked
"Ok I'll do it, but I'm not gonna kiss you and my name is Mira."
"Ok Mira come on we can't be late for the plane."
I grabbed her hand, ran out of the alley, and whistled for a taxi. We hopped inside the taxi and I told the driver to drop us off at the airport and I payed him $20.
Mira's POV
His grip was so tight on my hand. He told the driver to drop us off at the airport and then he handed the driver a $20 bill. He finally let go of my hand and I felt relief. I didn't know why I was with him, but I guess it was just because of the money. The driver stopped and let us out. Noah went up to the desk, purchased our tickets, and grabbed me to go through the security checkpoint. We passed it, went to the plane, and found our seats. The plane took off and Noah looked like he was going to piss his pants. "Are you ok?", I asked with a slight giggle.
"No", he answered in a fearful voice. Then he grabbed my hand and held it tight again. I laughed as the plane was flying through the blue sky and the white puffy clouds. "Noah look", I said pointing to the window and smiling. He lifted his head from staring at the floor and looked out the window.
Noah's POV
I was holding her hand and looking out the window. New York looked so beautiful and busy at the same time. I could see people clustered together like a bunch of ants looking for food, their clothes all kind of different colors of the rainbow, and buildings as high as the clouds with cars all around them. Daily life looked like tiny little specks from so far away. I looked at Mira who had a bright smile on her face and was also looking at the small people from far above. She turned to look at me and said "This might actually be fun", with a little laugh at the end. "Question though, what are we going to do for 2 days while we are on this plane?", she asked.
"Well we can play games, sleep, watch movies, talk, etc. Here why don't we watch a movie.", I suggested.
"Ok but what kind of movie?"
"Well any kind, what kind do you want to watch?"
"Um how about white chicks?"
"Ok white chicks it is", I said while clicking the button on the tv. We watched White chicks until it was nighttime and then I heard a soft sigh. Mira had fallen asleep. I grabbed a blanket and put it on top of her. She looks so pretty when she sleeps I thought. Wait was I falling in love with her? I questioned myself. My brain kept thinking what if she was actually my girlfriend? But she would never like me. I mean look at her she could be like an emo model or something like that. Well I should get to sleep I thought.
Mira's POV
I woke up the next morning and found myself on a plane and covered with a blanket and Noah was sleeping right next to me. I couldn't believe I was going to California with a stranger and I didn't even know him. It was just 1 more day before we landed in California. I heard Noah start waking up and I looked over at him and saw his big brown eyes open and look at me. "Morning Mira", he said with a deep but high pitched voice at the same time. "Good morning
