Hollywood's Biggest Mystery

Aladdin?

As I'm studying for a chem test in my room I heard I tap tap tap on my window. I opened the window and instantly got smacked on the forehead with a small pebble.
"What the-" I mumbled as I looked out.
"Whoops, my bad" Nick laughed.
"I have a front door, you know that right"
"Ya I know, but that's no fun" Nick grins.
"Well what do you want?" I ask curiously.
"Can you babysit?" he asks nonchalantly as he leans on my window sill.
"Wait, you have siblings?"
"Ya, the guy my mom married had a couple kids, but most of them are older and gone"
"Well, why can't you?"
"I can, I just wanted to know if you wanted to help"
"Ya sure. Beats studying!" I grabbed my bag and shoes and jumped out the window.
Nick looks at my kind of funny, but just shakes his head and grins, then we proceed to walk across the yard over to his house.
He unlocks the door and I have never seen a house that was so clean and smelled so good ever.
"Omygosh, your house is cleaner than mine. And I live alone!"
He just smiled and walked to the kitchen. I hopped on the counter "So how many kids we got?"
"Two. Three-year old boy twins, but they're already asleep. Wanna drink?" he asks opening the fridge.
"Nah I'm good"
He closed the fridge and hopped up on the counter next to me.
"So what we gonna do?" I leaned back.
"Well, I kinda need the finish some chores before my step-dad gets home, but after that we can see what's on Netflix or something?"
"Is the only reason you asked me over is to help you with your chores?" I grin.
"Maybe" he smirks and runs out of the room. "Be right back" he yells over his shoulder.
The doorbell rings and I walked over and opened it smiling still at how quirky Nick was.
My smile died as soon as I saw who was at the door.
"Kaleb, what the hell are you doing here"
He was quite out of breath and  didn't answer my question but asked "Do you trust me?"
"No" I shake my head confused.
"Smart girl" he says and grabs my wrist and pulled me outside. He is still out of breath and looking behind him frantically.
He runs down to his car and opens the passenger door for me, wanting me to get in.
"No! I'm not getting in unless you tell me what's going on. And i doubt I'll even get in then." I state out of breath because of how fast he was pulling me.
Kaleb leans against the car not letting go of my wrist but breathing heavily. It had gotten dark so the street lights had turned on as we were running to the car so I could see the small cut right under his eye.
"Please, Liv, just trust me"
I was so confused because of how unlike him this was even though I had just recently met him.
"My names Olivia and no you have to tell me"
"I like 'Liv' a whole lot better and fine. I know this is going to sound crazy, but some really bad people are coming to find you and the only way you will be safer is if you come with me"
I don't know why I did what I did next, maybe it was the urgency in his voice, but I slid in the car and he closed the door for me and ran around to the driver's side and slid in.
He sped down the street but stopped only a couple houses down and pulled over to the side of the street.
"What are we doing?" I ask still extremely confused as to why people were looking for me and how Kaleb knew about it.
"Just making sure" he says slowly as he turns around to watch Nick's house.
Not a minute later a red corvette sped down the street and two large men and a slim woman walked up to Nick's door.
Kaleb nodded as if that's all he needed to see and sped away, way faster than I have ever driven in a car before.
"Wait, how did they know to go to Nick's house instead of my own?"
Kaleb shrugs concentrating on the road.
"So now that we aren't in such a rush, you want to tell me that THE HECK WE ARE DOING???" I yell, leaning up to look at him.
He looks over at me and smirks, AGAIN, "You know you're cute when you're confused"
I roll my eyes and don't even bother answering.
"Ya okay, you'll know soon enough. Just know those guys are bad and, well, they want you, Liv."
"What could they possibly want me for and where do you come in all this?"
He laughs, "I just do, okay? So do you have any idea why someone would be looking for you?"
I froze. Could it be-? No it couldn't be. Could it?
"I'll take that look as you have an idea"
Wow he was good.
"Well I might but I don't know."
"Did you run away from people or are they just looking for you for the heck of it"
"Um, well ya, Kaleb, I mean kinda but I don't really want to talk about it."
He scoffs, "That's alright. I mean I already know everything. I just wanted to hear it from you."
I leaned up again to look at him as he continues to drive down the dark road.
"Wait, what?"
He scoffed again, which was really beginning to get on my nerves.
"Yep."
"'Yep' what, Kaleb? How do you know me?"
"Well, Liv, wait sorry, Mel, it doesn't take a genius."
"Well clearly! You figured it out. But how does everyone already know me?"
"I dunno." He smirks at me, never taking his eyes off the road.
"WILL YOU STOP"
"Stop what?" He asks all innocent with that damn smirk on his face. "I haven't done anything"
"I meant smirking. STOP SMIRKING!"
"Why does it bug you so much, Mel?" He laughs at my pain.
"I have so many issues with that question" I mutter as I sit back in my seat.
We drive in silence for awhile before Kaleb starts driving faster as a car revs up behind us.
"Crap" he mutters shifting the gear and pushing the acceleration.
I turn around and see the same red corvette that was at Nick's house come riding up behind us.
"I thought you said I was safe with you"
"No, I said you'd be uh safer with me. Never said uh safe" he says looking in the rear view mirror.
"Well what are we gonna do?!?"
"I have a plan"
"Is it a good one?" I asked turned around in my seat so I can see the approaching car.
"Nope"
