"So, just out of curiosity, what made you agree to come?" He asked sincerely. I lift my head up to face him before saying, " honestly, I don't really know, I guess I just figured you and I are alike." A small chuckle escapes from his lips, "how can you say that when you don't even know me?" I think for a couple of seconds knowing that what he said is true, "well I mean I know you enough to know you're on the run, I don't know who or where from, but I just know you are," I glance up towards him, looking deep in thought, "I also know you just saved my life, again I have no clue why, but you did." At this point he's gone from seeming deep in thought to staring at my face intensely, "you think I saved your life?" He questions jokingly. Now I'm confused. "I've been searching for that man for quite some time, he did something to me I could never forget!" I take a step backwards, shocked at what he'd just said, I couldn't let him know how uncomfortable that made me feel, "well you still saved me, wether you meant to or not." Is the only thing I can manage to say. Instead of replying to me he smirks. "what?" I question, completely confused. "You're not scared?" He asks, his voice deep and low. "Of what?" I reply simply. He takes a step towards me before whispering, "aren't you scared of me?" I gulp, "no." Is the only word that leaves my mouth. He steps away from me and continues to walk, "you should be." For some reason this really angers me, how dare her tell me I should be scared oh him when he has no clue of anything bout me or who I even am! I turn around and begin to walk away, my gusts clenched, it's happening again. "Where are you going!" He shouts running up to me, grabbing a hold of my shoulders. This makes me jump, "get off of me!" I scream as my palm comes into contact with his cheek, tears streaming down my face. The look in his eyes turn from anger to sympathy, "hey, hey, what's wrong?" He asks. By now I'm completely out of control, I'm in such a state I can't even speak. "Come here." He says softly whilst pulling me into his muscular arms, hugging me tightly. I feel bad for him, he must think I'm crazy. "Come on," he shakes me calmly, "my cars just around the corner, you can relax in there." I nod my head following him slowly. I don't know what it is about him that makes me trust him so much, I just do. He's mysterious but I think that's partly what draws me in, I've always liked adventures and the feeling of not knowing what's to come, it's thrilling and it gives me a rush."

"I'm sorry." I quietly whisper as he shuts the door to his car. He turns to face me in the passenger seat, "what for?" He questions. I look down towards my feet, not wanting him to see my red and puffy face, "I'm sorry for getting so angry and hitting you, I don't know why I do it, I get angry and I loose control over my body, it's as though we're two separate people, I'm so, so sorry." I say whilst lifting my hands to my face, I'm crying again. "Don't be. It happens." Is all he replies. A couple seconds later and I hear the car engine turn on as he begins to drive down the darkening road. I sit there and watch the sunset, it's soft pastel colours beautiful, before long I feel my eyes begin to close as my body relaxes, I feel safe.
Ethan's POV
Something about her draws me in, I don't know much about her, yet I find myself unable to get enough. She's beautiful, I guess that's why I followed her from In' n' out, I wanted to tell her the truth in that I did save her purposely, but I couldn't bare to think about how scared she would be knowing that I killed a man in doing so, instead I just pushed her out of her comfort zone and told her that she should be frightened of me, which I guess she should, but clearly that was a mistake. I don't know what to do, I have this feeling inside I've never had before that's telling me I need to protect her, and that if I'm not there for her something bad is going to happen, but at the same time I have my own business to deal with, it's not something I can just forget, I need to do it for him, for my brother.
