"So a spy, huh?" Nathan asked when I was finished.

"Yeah," I said as he stared at me.

"Wow that's- that's a lot to take in," he muttered running a hand down his face.

"That's normal," I said and bit my lip.

"So... What now?" He asked. I was afraid of this.

"Well..."

"Whaaaat?" he groaned.

"YouWillProbablyGetKidnappedByTheCIAandForcedToDrinkThisTeaThatWillProbablyGetYourMemoryErasedAndI'llProbablyGetANewFaceAndBeForcedToMoveSomewhereElseButThatsOkayBecauseI'mUsedToItItJustSucksForYouBecauseYouWon'tRememberMeOrZachOrDrewOrAustinOrAnyoneYouRecentlyMet," I said in one go and took a deep breath after I had finished.

"What?" he asked, looking blatantly confused.

"In short, you won't remember me or Zach or anyone else and you'll never see me again," I said quietly.

"What?"

"Is that the only word you know?"

"What? Oh! No," he said and looked embarrassed. I smiled a little but it was forced and he could tell.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I can't tell you," I muttered and stared at my shoes.

"C'mon, my minds going to be erased anyways. You can trust me," he said and sent a soft smile my way.

"I'm sorry, I really can't,"

"Tell me," he sat down and poked my stomach.

"Tell me, tell me, tell me!" he persisted, poking me.

"I can't! I'm really sorry Nathan!" I sighed. He must have picked up that I didn't want to talk about it because he gave me a look and dropped the subject.

"Fine. Hey, if I'm going to get my memory erased, can I do one last thing?" he asked me.

"Yeah but you probably won't get it erased until tomorrow," I told him honestly.

"Good. I want to remember this for at least one night," he smiled.

"And what's that?" I asked.

"This." he said and before I knew what was happening, he was kissing me.

I was shocked at first but kissed back after a bit. He pulled back and grinned at me.

"Spy or not, I liked you since I first laid eyes on you," he told me.

"Did you now?" I teased and he rolled his eyes.

"Yes and I have to tell yo-" he was cut off by my phone blaring 'Parade Rain' by Hedley. I winced at the sudden loud noise.

"Sorry," I muttered and answered my phone, "Hello?"

"I'm on my way. Don't leave until I get there. Austin's got something that you need to see. Stay safe. Someone's already on their way to Nathan's house. Someone bad," Drew got out between gasps.

"Are you running?" I asked him.

"Yes. See you soon and stay safe!" He yelled and hung up. I gave my phone a weird look as I pulled it away from my ear but soon jumped into action.

"Quick, hide under your bed. This is not going to be pretty and I don't want you to see this," I told Nathan. He gave me a bewildered look and didn't move.

"Now, Nathan. I'm not playing games!" I said.

"What? Why?"

"No time for questions just do as I say," I said forcefully. He then quickly dropped to the floor and slid under his bed.
