       Noah's POV

   Four words.

   This. Was. A. Mess.

   This day was not what I would call "a really good day". Skylar almost died. Zac almost killed me. She revived. And, we ended up buying women's clothes. The girl in the shop was weird, and a little girl wanted to kill my bro.

   I had known Zac since we were kids, he would never try to kill a woman. Marc grabbed the girl by the arms. She was pushing and fighting, her eyes were wide with fierce determination and she was as red as a tomato.

   Skylar was shocked by the whole situation. She still had to get used to our "normal" life. The girl continued pushing Marc and shouting at Zac. Zac was in silence, stunned by the girl's reaction of seeing him.

  —Err, guys?— I said when I spotted a police van approaching.

   The girl stopped fighting. Skylar, Marc and Zac looked at me, waiting for me to say something. Zac looked terrible, he was on the floor, had blood on his arm and a black eye. The girl knew how to fight. After thinking a bit, I did exactly what my mind kept telling me: RUN.

   So we started running. I noticed Sky wasn't fast enough, so I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the car that Zac had parked earlier. He turned on the engine and we rushed out before the police could notice us. 

  — So, your name was..? — I asked the girl sitting next to me and Sky.

  —Amber— said the girl.

  —Err... I don't want to ruin the moment, but there are 2 other police vans coming towards us. — said Zac looking behind him.

   I did the same trying to identify the drivers. The first driver had a little mustache and seemed to be 25 years old. Oddly enough, he seemed very familiar. I was about to point it out when Sky interrupted my thoughts. 

  —So what's the plan? Where are the others?— She asked.

  —Well, the plan is to go to Florida. The President and Vice President will be there. Actually, all the Government's dogs will be there. As for John, Sam and Robbie, they're buying stuff without paying. — I said a little hesitantly.

  — So basically, they're stealing— Said Skylar

  —Yeah, but the last time I said something like that, you fainted— I said looking at her.

  — You said I was going to die!! That we were ALL going to die, how was I supposed to react?!— she shouted.

  — Well, I said I was sorry, ok?! So drop it already!— I shouted back.

  — Guys, stop it. Please?— said Zac.

  — Stay out of it!!—We shouted at the same time.

   Zac stopped the car to look at us. He first glared at me and then, when he looked at Skylar, his expression softened. What was up with this guy? Skylar caught him staring and he looked away, clearly embarrassed. When he looked at Amber he seemed to remember something.

  — Amber?— he said— why did you say what you said earlier?

   Amber looked at him, angrier than before. I also thought I saw a speck of pain cross her face.

  —My sister was always by my side. Ever since I was born, she was there for me. I was never alone, I knew I could always count on her. — she paused and her saddened tone was replaced by an angered one— But one day, she came home smiling with a picture in her hand. After that, she was never the same, she wasn't around anymore. My parents were happy, they thought she had finally found "a boy". A whole year passed like that. Every time my sister came back at night, her smile kept disappearing, she wasn't happy anymore, there was something else now: fear. She was afraid.  She never talked as much anymore. Every time we went out, she was constantly looking for something. Something horrible was happening to her, but that's not something she would talk about with me anymore. So one night, while she was away, I started looking for clues through her things. I found the picture that my sister had brought a year ago. It was a picture of her and a guy — she looked at Zac and pointed at him— You. After that, the phone rang. It was the police. They said that my sister and her boyfriend were conspiring against the Government. They also said that she was dead because you had used her and then killed her. My family and I never saw her after that, we couldn't even bury her body. I- I- I never saw Victoire again.

   After that whole speech, she started crying. Skylar hugged her and then looked at Zac, I think she was trying to decide what to think of him. Then I looked at my bro, his expression was pained. He was white with shock, but he managed to speak.

  — Victoire? Victoire Hunter?— he asked in a barely audible whisper.

   I then understood everything, how could I let that slip?

  — Dude, your ex!
