I looked around me and realised where I was and what had happened last night.

I felt two muscular arms gripped onto my body, I turned and came face-to-face with a sleeping Jason.

I must admit, he looked cute sleeping and it did feel kind of good to wake up in someone's arms.

I shook my head. I can't let myself start to enjoy anything about him or this place. It was wrong. I shouldn't be here.

I should be home, with my family. I should be at school, with my classmates. I should be out, with my friends.

Not stuck here with criminals and no freedom.

A tear slipped out of my eye and began to trickle down. I couldn't let them fall. Jason could wake up any minute and he couldn't see me in tears.

"What's wrong?" Jason asked. I jumped at his sudden words. I thought he was asleep.

"N-nothing" I replied quietly.
"Don't lie to me Lexi"
"I thought you were asleep"
"No. Anyway that's not the point, what's wrong?"
"I already told you - nothing"
"Stop. I could tell by the change in your breathing pattern"

I stayed quiet. Just how much did this guy know about me. I know it has been a while now but - he shouldn't know these things. He shouldn't know me.

-Jason-

My phone buzzed in my pocket. I knew I needed to answer it, but I didn't want to. Lexi had just fallen asleep and the last thing I wanted to do was disturb her.

I knew I had to. I slowly pulled her body off of me and left the room quietly, making sure not to wake her. I pressed answer on my phone.

"Hello?" I asked with a yawn.
"Meeting tomorrow. 2pm.Gary's garage" the voice which I recognised as Calebs said bluntly.

Caleb wasn't in the gang, he was a tiny bit higher up. He was the one that organised our missions and our meets. Most of them anyway.

I sighed as my brain fully took in the information. I was planning to take Lexi out, to spend some time with her and so she could have a little freedom. Looks like that wasn't going to happen.

I walked back into my room to find that Lexi wasn't there. My eyes fell onto the open window that was just open enough to fit her slim body through.

My body became stiff. This wasn't supposed to happen. Why did she do this?

Scrap that. Why did I think I could trust her? I mean, I can't blame her but.. I was hurt. Why was it taking so long for her to love me. It's been nearly 8 fucking months.

-Lexi-

I woke up once again to find that Jason's body wasn't beside me. I gazed around the room and noticed a large window slightly ajar.

I felt myself getting excited. It was big enough for me to fit through. I could escape. I could go back and find my family. Find Charlie, Carly. Find... Danny.

I looked around the room and saw Jason's wallet lying on the cabinet. I walked over to it and pulled out £250.

Maybe that was a bit much but he wouldn't care about the money. He was rich. Money was the least of his worries.

What if he caught me? What would happen? Would he get sick of me and let me go? I hoped so.

I quickly grabbed one of Jason's jumpers and put it over my top, this way I could hide my face.
