" I'm in trouble", I hesitantly managed to speak. I wouldn't tell her what actually happened, and who I was now. It was enough to lie that I got jumped by some street rats, and one of them carried a blade. I wasn't the best liar though, or so they believed.

Caitlyn shook her head, stitching the wounds together. Pain from every pierce of the needle was swallowed by my thoughts that never seemed to stop," I told you", she let out angrily, ignoring the red-haired person, that took her place on the other side of the bed," you should have stayed here".

" and what" I threw my hands in the air," be locked up in this city? No. In this cage?".

Piltover has always been my cage. There was no freedom. No fun.
I was well aware of the other girl in this room. We had no chance to speak to each other yet, but I could feel her eyes drilling into my figure. From the way she sat; legs spread, elbows on her knees, slouching, I could tell she wasn't from the topside. Her fit also screamed Zaun. The girl didn't look interested in our conversation though. Rather her leg was shaking impatiently. I did not question Caitlyns appearance in the lanes or what she was doing with this girl there. I didn't feel like I deserved to ask.

Caitlyn sighed, finishing up fixing my wound. Her eyes fell onto a scar on my stomach, the long white line that has been left by one of the firelights. She opened her mouth to ask, but seemed to change her mind as soon as she locked eyes with the other girl," I have to do something important. You'll stay here, and rest. Got that?", she raised her brows and I scoffed at her command.

With a nod, I rolled over, too exhausted to protest or ask any other questions and before they were even out of the room I drifted off to darkness, shutting the thought of Jinx out of my head.

_______________

I have counted every single neon star glued on the ceiling of the bedroom in Caitlyns house. I was already getting bored. My heart and mind craved to have Jinx here. Nothing but me and my thoughts in the darkness of the night.

It's been a whole day since Caitlyn and her friend left. I did not know what to do with myself. Where to go now? I needed Jinx. I missed her, and I hate to admit that. Not only that but I groaned, remembering the events of today. I was so close, yet so stupid to get tricked by Silco.

My body ached from the pain, and so did the cheek that will probably be scared for life now. The cut was deep, Caitlyn had to stitch it also, and she was mumbling something under her breath the whole time. I just know there will be a lot of lecturing once she's back.

At the thought of that, my attention shifted. The horrible smell of blood was coming from me, and I figured that I should take a shower. after all, I was in a big shiny house, with a fancy shower.

The water hugged my skin nicely and the bathroom was filled with steam. It's been a long time since I last was so warm and clean. The last time I showered was at Jinx's place, the water was nowhere near as clean and hot as here though.

I turned off the tab, slid the glass door aside, and stepped onto the cold tiles. I wiped the glass of the mirror, checking the stitched cut on my cheek carefully.

Then, I froze.

There was Jinx. Leaning on the wall in the corner, with a sly smirk on her face. I could only see her reflection in the mirror. Fear fogged my brain as she let out a chuckle, a dark one," you're trying to run away from me?".

Those words shook my heart, she said it with pain and anger burning inside of her. I turned around, ignoring the fact that I was entirely naked, and her eyes glimmered, staring right at me," no, what? I wasn't, I just-", I sighed, frustrated with my lack of words," didn't Silco tell you?".

Jinx frowned," oh he did", she began making her way up to me, and my breath hitched at the look in her eyes, I swear I could see fury flaming in there," he told me all about it, and I did try to convince myself that I hate you, you're just a stupid topsider", she spat, shoving me away from her as gently as she could. And it hurt, her words ripped my heart apart. I was just as hurt as I was scared of her.

"How did you know where I was?", I asked, trying my best not to show fear, but she quickly got onto it and her brows rose," I searched a few rooms", with a shrug she looked around," is this your home?".

I was a little hesitant to answer, but her face softened and my shoulders finally relaxed at the sudden change," no, it's my frie- someones I know", I fixed myself before I said anything that would make her go raging.

The girl hummed, attaching her pistol back onto her belt," I missed you", she said, bringing me to the point of breaking," you don't have to be scared of me", her fingertips brushed the wound on my cheek. Jinx's expression held worry," did Silco do this to you?".

My eyes closed at her warm touch; the thing I missed the most all day. I reached my hand out, taking her hand into my palms and pressing my face against her hand, the sadness faded a little," I missed you too".

"Can we go back home?", she asked, looking up at me.

Home? What home? Jinx's bedroom wasn't my home definitely, she was. And I had her here. Yet, I couldn't just leave now, Silco and his men would come for me, and as much as I felt safe with Jinx, I knew that she would do anything Silco told her.

" I can't you know that", I let her hand go, wrapping a towel against my body," but I don't want you to leave", I had an inner war before letting the words out. Even if she hated the fact that I was a topsider, I saw the love she had for me, she needed me, and I needed her. Badly. The whole world seemed to be grey when she wasn't beside me.

Jinx smiled, it wasn't a simple type of smile, it was whimsy as if she was showing off, and so proud of herself for making me say it," see I knew you love me, Mylo was so wrong", she rolled her eyes and I didn't get to react before she pulled me into a kiss.

I kissed her back, enjoying every second of it. Her hands came up onto my waist, and she pulled me even closer to her. The cold metals of her belt made a contact with my body, or more like the wound and I jumped a little, just then a knock forced me break the kiss, and in surprise, I shoved the unfazed girl against the wall just beside the door, opening it.

The person in front of me was Caitlyn's mother. The woman I knew for more than half of my life, she always had sympathy for me, yet, not a single time did she help me out.

" hello darling", she smiled at me, and I flashed a smile back to her.

" hi", I said, pressing my palm against Jinxs mouth, so she would keep quiet which she didn't really seem to get as she shuddered against my hold.

Cassandra raised a brow, perhaps suspecting something while I nervously smiled the entire time, but she seemed to let it go," I've heard what happened, are you okay?".

" yeah, I just- mhm Im fine", I pursed my lips as my palm slipped a tiny bit and Jinx playfully licked one of my fingers. The tickles created a small giggle inside me, and I hid it the best I could.

" well alright then, see you downstairs in a bit, we are having dinner in twenty minutes", she laughed brightly, pointing her finger just for a second in the air.

I made up a quick 'mhm' and shut the bathroom door, locking it quietly.

" who was that?", Jinx sparked me a confused look and I sighed having no idea what to tell her. I've been good at lying to her lately, or hiding things, although I knew deep inside that she didn't buy it, I didn't, I always knew when someone was lying to me. I just felt it, and when I let it slip past me, I'd be eaten up with paranoia.

I reached for her, and tugged her closer to me, yearning to feel her warmth and smell her scent that was so sweet and familiar to my senses," my friends mother", I snuggled my nose into the crook of her neck, as she stood still, holding me by my waist.

" I don't like you having friends" , Jinx squeezed me tighter and I found myself lacking air. Strangely, I felt loved, I felt like I was all she needed, but it wasn't true, I know it wouldn't be. Why would she need someone like me?
