One Month~ Dolan twins and more Fanfic

Seventeen- Secrets

Lexi's POV

I recently have been sleeping in Kian's room, because I haven't been able to fall asleep alone in my room. It's now September 12th, meaning we've been here for thirteen days. We were taken on the day before the first day of The Month. There's eighteen days left until either A) I am persecuted or B) I get married to one of the guys and we both get by with no harm until a few more years when we have another Month and I will be killed then or C) I figure something else out.

I've been worrying about Sam ever since Kian told me yesterday that she had disappeared. I didn't know if she'd ran away, because I know how badly she wanted out of this house, and to go home. Or maybe she was taken by James and his brother. Or maybe she was with Shawn. Maybe they ran away together. Or he took her. There were endlessly theories I had as to what really happened.

Knock, knock..

"Who is it?" I asked, turning to Kian's bedroom door, suddenly realizing Kian hadn't come back when he left about half an hour ago.

"Devin." I instantly smiled when I heard that.

"Come in." I answered. He opened the door, struggling to hold two mugs while at the same time, opening a door.

"I thought you might have wanted a cup of tea." He smiled. I jumped out of bed, going to help.

"Thank you Dev." I said, going on my tiptoes to give him a kiss on the cheek. I took one of the full cups he was holding and walked towards the couch that Kian had on the other side of the room, next to the large window, Devin following me.

"Do you know where Kian went?" I asked, a hint of nervousness in my voice, after I'd taken a sip of the warm beverage.

"Yeah, most of the guys went into the city again." He nodded. I nodded, understanding, taking another sip.

"Can I ask you something?" I questioned.

"Of course." He smiled.

"Can we get out of the house tonight?" I asked excitedly, wanting to go on an adventure. He looked at me wide eyed.

"You wanna escape? We'd get in so much trouble." He laughed.

"No, you dork. I wanna go on an adventure! Get out of the house for once. Then come back after.". I explained, winking.

"Just you and I?" He asked, hopefully thinking about agreeing to my crazy idea.

"Yes. I'll just tell Kian I wanna sleep in my own room, except I won't, I'll come get you and we'll go." I stated, before lifting my cup to my lips.

"I think we could do that." He winked. I put my cup down on the floor and leaned over, wrapping my arms around his torso.

"You're the best!" I whispered.

--- That Night ---

"Lexi can we go to bed please?" Kian asked, mid-yawn as we were watching "If I Stay" on his laptop. It was around 1:30 am.

"I'm gonna sleep in my room tonight." I said quietly, shutting his laptop.

"Whyyyy?" He asked, grabbing me by my waist and pulling me against him.

"Cause." I smiled.

"That's not an answer babe, but good try." He laughed. Babe...

"I want to sleep in my room! I haven't for awhile. I can't sleep with you forever." I said, sitting up.

"Okay, fine. Goodnight." He said, kissing me.

"Night, Kian." I said, getting up and leaving his room, shutting the door behind me. And now time for the plan...

I went to my room- Sammy and I's room actually. I grabbed my phone and slid it into my back pocket. I texted Devin.

Me: hey is everyone else asleep?

Devvvv: yep, the coast is clear ;)

Me: k I'm coming downstairs. meet me in the kitchen!

Devvvv: roger that

Me: ok weirdo

Devvvv: I know ya like it tho ;)

Me: shut up I'm coming now

I laughed, quietly closing my door, and going downstairs. I turned the corner, seeing Devin's tall figure standing in the dim light of the kitchen. He smiled when he saw me, and I returned the smile.

"Let's go." I whispered, once I was within ten feet of him. We turned and went towards the front door, Devin entering the passcode and silently opening it. I went out first, feeling the cool almost-fall breeze against my bare arms. Devin followed behind me as we got in his red Mustang. When he started it up, it definitely wasn't quiet. I panicked a little, before he quickly drove out of the driveway and onto the private road.

"I have the perfect place in mind." Devin said, before turning on the radio. Slow Hands By Niall Horan came on. I'm surprised they still play this kinda music, I mean this song alone is 10 years old.

"This was my favorite song growing up." I smiled, turning it up. I sang along quietly until the song ended. We sang along to all our favorite songs for awhile, and I was just getting lost in the moment when Devin stopped the car.

"Close your eyes!" He quickly said, before I had a chance to look at my surroundings.

"How am I gonna get out of the car and not fall on my face?" I laughed, my eyes closed as he said. I heard him close his door and a moment later, mine opened. I felt his hand take mine, gently pulling me out of the car.

"Okay now let me lead you." He said. He held my hand, walking by my side. I giggled.

"Okay." I said.

"Open your eyes." He whispered, suddenly stopping. I did as he told, seeing thousands of city lights, and when I looked up, saw millions upon millions of stars.

"Dev." I breathed. "This is incredible."

We stood on the edge of the hill, talking for what seemed like days. Then it hit me. I looked at this amazing boy next to me, looking at the twinkling lights.

"I-I'm gonna get out of this Devin! That was your plan." I put my hand over my mouth. It really all made sense now.

"You caught me..." He smiled.

"Oh my god Devin." I gasped, in shock of hearing this. I wrapped my arms around him, him stroking my hair.

"But what about Kian?" I asked, as I took his hands in my cold ones.

"It'll be our secret. Okay?" He put one hand under my chin, our faces mere inches apart.

"Okay..." I smiled, leaning in to close the space between us, Devin's hand on my back, pulling me even closer.
