Day 63

I pushed the baby hairs that couldn't fit in my fish tail braid behind my ears. I tucked my white tank top into my dark blue jeans. I place a dark blue jacket over to cover up more.

"Are you wearing my jacket?" Kira looked up from her phone.

"No..." I lied.

I strolled down the hall towards the elevator when Adeline jumped out in front of me.

"Hi Lucy!" She beamed.

"Hello Adeline. Where's your sister?" I smiled.

"Library-oh, I heard what happened to you, should I not say that?" She looked down.

"No sweetheart, it's fine." I chuckled.

"Do you know someone named Kristin?" She went up and down on her toes.

"I do, why do you ask?"

"She doesn't like my sister."

I froze. That's why Kristin blackmailed me.

"Why doesn't she like her?"

"I don't know..." She traced her feet on the patter of the carpet.

"Ok well I have to go now. Goodbye Adeline."

"Bye Lucy!"

I flattened my back against the wall on the fire escape. I was in the same place Andrew and I had our first date.

Two arms snaked around my waist and I was suddenly lifted off the ground.

"I missed you so much!"

Andrew lifted me up then slowly  rested me into his chest. This time I knew it was really him and not a dream.

"I missed you Andrew." I replied to him landing a kiss on his lips.

"You're gorgeous." He smiled.

"You're handsome." I smiled back.

"You're lying." He put me down.

"You're stupid." I ran my fingers through his coffee hair.

"You're amazing."

We cascaded down the ladder and into the grass.

"I missed this." I sunk my bare feet into the grass.

"I know you did. That's why I brought you here. I was going to say library, but I decided against it."

"Yeah..." I fell onto my back and rested on my back. Andrew lie next to me.

"Speaking of, how are you doing, after what happened?"

"I'm fine. I'm still having dreams but I'm managing."

"That's good." He held my hand.

"I never want this to end." I smiled.

"Well it has."

Andrew and I shot up at a voice that wasn't ours.

Mrs. Genevieve and two security guards stood looking down on us.

"My office. Now." She smirked and turned around towards the stairs.
