Lexie is a 14 year old girl who has been through hell. Her parents have died, she's been abused, she nearly got shot, fell in love, tried to find a killer in Mexico. She realises that she sees Riggs as a father figure.
"Your dad got murdered?" "Yeah, sucks, right?" I roll my eyes and I walk ahead.
"What're you gonna do if you find him?" He grabs my arm and stops me.
I look at him for a while.
"Do exactly what he did to my dad." I whisper and I smile.
"Woah, Lexie, you can't do that!" He shouts. "You'll get arrested!" "I won't.." "Trust me, you will." "I won't because I won't get outta there alive!" I shout back.
"What..?" Disappointment and sadness cover his face. "I don't wanna live anymore. Before I die all I wanna do is kill that douchebag."
"Then your gonna... kill yourself?" He rubs the back of his neck. "Basically. If it all goes to plan." He steps back.
"You can't." "I can, and I will." I say walking away again.
He doesn't follow me. "Grayson.. come with me, please." "No, I'm not helping you die." He says and I see tears in his eyes.
"I'm gonna do it whether you come or not." And with that he decides to follow me.
Me: thanks for telling me your in Mexico! Me: dickhead
Riggs: rude Riggs: and sorry
Me: I'm pissed
Riggs: I know
Me: anyway Me: where abouts are you? Me: is it nice?
Riggs: pretty good Riggs: and why do you wanna know where I am..?
Me: no reason Me: have you found him yet?
Riggs: no Riggs: sorry
Me: ok Me: soooo where abouts are you?
Riggs: oh turn around and you'll see me
I panic a little and I turn around.
I see Riggs, Roger and Grayson.
I laugh nervously. "What the hell are you doing here?!" Roger shouts. "I don't know..." I say slowly.
Riggs walks closer to me. "Why'd you come here?" "Why do you think?!" I say in disbelief.
"You can't be here, Lex. The people who killed your dad, they're looking for you. That's why you weren't allowed to come with us." He says seriously.
I look down.
"GET DOWN!" I hear Riggs shout.
I hear gunshots and I get behind a brick wall with the others.
Riggs and Rog shoot them and me and Grayson sit there.
"Okay. I think we're good." Roger says and we stand up.
"How did you find me?" I ask confused. "Well, your buddy, texted me." Riggs smiles. I look at Grayson.
"Did you?!" I ask angrily. He looks down and nods. I sigh and roll my eyes.
I'm pissed.
We go back to their hotel and they pay for me and Grayson to stay in the room.
Riggs puts his hand on my shoulder to stop me from walking. "What?" I rudely say. He raises his eyebrows. "You know, Lexie, it hurts when you talk to me like that." He pretends to be sad and he puts his hand on his chest.
I smile. "Okay, what do you want?" I politely say, still smiling. "That's better! And, I need you to promise me that you won't run away and try and find Gabe." He turns serious.
He sees me thinking about it. "Lexie, promise me." He quietly says. "Fine, I won't." I smile and he returns it. He puts his arm around me.
Grayson sees us. "You know in the room there's only two double beds..." Riggs begins. "I'll sleep on the floor." I say laughing. "No need. You can share with Grayson." He taps me on the back and walks into the room, where Roger already is.
I look at Grayson and I walk into the room.
"Riggs, I don't think you know how much I hate that kid." I say in anger. "You mean the kid who saved your ass?" He asks with a smug smile across his face
"Your superhero." Roger joins in and Riggs laughs. Grayson looks down and blushes. "Yeah, okay." I sarcastically say. "I can take care of myself."
A few hours pass and I'm sat on the bed with Grayson. We're laughing at photos on my phone.
I look over at Riggs and he's smiling at us. I get confused. "Just so you know, I wanna be in the front row." Riggs says still smiling.
"Front row..?" Grayson asks. I think too.
A wedding.
"You're so annoying!" I shout throwing and I throw a pillow at him. He laughs and Grayson rolls his eyes.
"Aren't you supposed to be looking for-" I try and say. "No, no, we'll do it tomorrow." He says. "Can't be having you two on your own." Roger says chuckling.
"Oh, my god. That's gross." I say putting my head in my hand.
Another couple of hours pass and I get changed into this:

I lay in bed to see Riggs and Roger getting in the same bed.
"Aww, how cute." I say smiling. "Don't even start." Roger says. I laugh at him. "He did tell me he loved me." Riggs randomly says.
"I didn't mean it!" Roger shouts and I laugh more. "Yes, you did! Don't lie, Rog." Riggs argues. They get into a little argument.
Grayson lays next to me and I put an alarm on at 4:00am. Nobody sees me do it.
