Hidden

Three

**Hope's POV**

I turned to Mira, and she looked at me with wide eyes. I wasn't the extra though. It was Sebastian. He had been running from the Heist for 4 years now. I can't understand how he did it, but he magically had. Mira asks me quietly, like we are not even talking,

"Are you the extra? Hope, tell me the truth, are you the extra"

I respond with

"No, Seb has been running from the Heist for a long time now. He is the extra, not me. But he is my brother and I can't let him go, so I take care of him."

She is in shock. I can tell by her facial expression. She nods though, but it wasn't in agreement. She was just taking it in.
I also thought that she liked him. He is quite cute, but I can't see it. He is my brother after all. And he is a bad boy. That is the main thing that Mira likes the most about Sebastian. Oh I can tell in the look in the two of their eyes that it was love at first sight. Of course I can't tell exactly but if you asked me what I saw. Well, they are totes into each other.

Seb looks at me and gives my a confused look. He hasn't been here for a very long time. And he is wondering why I have a girl with me. He has forgotten about me being 18. He has forgotten that I now have a job.
He signals me over to have a private conversation. " Just wait over there, Mira, I'll talk to you in a minute."

Mira walks away and into her room. I can hear her calling one of her friends. She is very lucky to have a phone. I have a 4 year old iPhone 64 and she has an iPhone 68 S. Her parents earned a lot of money. Unlike me. I am working for the council. That's what I chose. It's better that way. I wouldn't of earned any money anyway.

I turn to Sebastian."My birthday is coming up. They are going to try and find me. And heist me. I don't want to go. Save me Hope. Please!" I open my mouth to say something, but nothing exits. I find myself starring at him, wishing that I didn't have to deal with this, wishing that he wasn't my brother. But then I wouldn't love him like this, and I probably wouldn't know him. Which means he already would've been heisted. It's complicated, but after a while, I do end up saying something. "I know you want to live forever, but whatever way I try and save you, I'll just have to do it forever and that's too much for me to do. I am older and I have a job now, Sebastian, and I think it is about time that you let go."

He looks at me in shock and even I am shocked that I said that. I can't believe it. But then I grasp him in my arms and whisper to him

I love you, Seb. Remember that. I'll see you on the other side. Goodbye Sebastian Winters.

He lifts of his cap, and bows and before I know it, he is gone. And all that is left of me is a bundle of misery.
