Evan's POV

"So since when did you start working there?" I ask Stacy from Galaxy Diner. The girl who paid for my meal and started flirting with me.

She worked at the store I went to and I decided to walk her a little bit to her bus stop. I was going to buy Madison and Crystal something to eat after I went home to drop what I just bought.

I'd sneak in my house, hopefully my mom doesn't see me, and I'll hide it away until I really need it.

I'd have to have an excuse to why I wen out, I know Crystal would ask, might as well buy food..

Just the thought of what I'm doing and what I have in my book bag makes me tremble.

"The real question is why do you need a gun? " Stacy asks and my heart starts to beat fast. My lips begin to get dry and I start to find it hard to breathe.

She stares at me after I don't answer for a while.

"Well, to answer your question, I work there to make more money. I don't really have a choice, since there's problems in my house."

I tense up as she speaks. I know she was still wondering about the gun thing.

I wonder how she even got to work there. She's the only reason why I was able to get this in the first place.

When I was 13 years old, when my dad was still around, I learned how to use it. I was surprisingly good at it. But that was just for fun. Now it isn't.

"Listen, I know I've just met you, but I feel like you're a really good guy and whatever you need that gun for, I know it's for a good reason."

It's so that I can protect her.

"It's for protection..that's all." I say.

She smiles.

"Thanks for helping me get this." I blurt out.

"Have coffee with me. Or hot coco. I'm a sucker for chocolate." She smiles more.

I want to go back home and leave my bag and go to back to Crystal but I owe Stacy. I mean she helped me get this, and she didn't question me too much.

"Just as friends," she adds as she sees that I'm hesitant.

"Um, my bag.." I say.

She comes closer to me until her lips are next to my ear and I want to move away but she whispers,"I'll keep the fact that you have it to myself. You have my word. Your secret is safe with me."

Then she backs away and I nod.

"Thanks," I clench my jaw.

"About our coffee, meet me near that store with the neon lights in 30 minutes."

"Okay," I force a smile and I wave as I cross the road.
