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.
My alarm goes off and I stop it as quick as possible. Trying not to wake anyone up.
I quietly get off bed and I go into the bathroom.
I wear this:

I do my hair and I take my phone off charge. "What're you doing?" I hear a sleepy voice ask. "Grayson, just go to sleep." I whisper.
"Where're you going, though?" "None of your business. You'd tell them anyway."
"Lexie, tell me." "If I tell you, do you swear you won't tell anyone?" "I swear." He says getting up. "Okay, I'm going to see someone." I say sighing.
"Who?" "A friend. I promise it's nothing bad."
Ha, a friend.
"Grayson, just don't tell them." I say seriously. He nods and walks towards me.
He stands there and stares down at me.
He places his hands on my waist and pulls me closer.
His lips slowly touch mine and our lips move in sync, once again.
My hands move to his neck and I feel him smile against my lips.
We both pull back. "Uh, sorry." He says nervously chuckling. "No worries." I smile and I wait for him to fall back asleep, which doesn't take long.
I walk to where I saw Riggs put his gun.
I grab it and I put it in my pocket. I look at him. "Sorry, Riggs." I whisper. Then, I leave.
I walk up to the abandoned warehouse and I look at it. "This is for you, dad." I say to myself, and I go in.
It's all light and I see about 20-30 guys surrounding this one guy, who looks important. But I recognise him from the file of Gabe Keaton.
He looks at me and smiles. "Hey, sweetheart.." he says walking up to me.
Anger just runs through my body. I get the gun out and I aim it at him.
All the other guys get their guns out. "Put them down!" Gabe shouts to the other people. Firstly, they look confused but they do what he says, and they put their guns down.
I don't move mine. "You killed him." I say. "Yeah, well, he deserved it." "No one deserves to die!" I shout getting a little upset. "And here you are, aiming a gun to my head." He laughs.
"But I bet you've ruined loads of families so I'm just doing it for them." I say, with tears running down my cheeks. "You sure ruined mine."
"What a shame." He mutters, smiling. An evil, menacing smile, which sends shivers down my spine.
He reminds me of the fear of my stepdad. But I can't be scared, this is for dad.
"Shut up or I'll blow your fucking head off!" I shout, more tears come down.
Suddenly, an arm goes around my waist and they knock the gun out of my hand. They pick me up because I'm kicking and screaming.
They put me in a chair and tie me to it.
"Let me go, Gabe." He completely ignores me. "You know why I killed your dad?" He asks standing in front of me.
"Shut up." I sob. "I killed that worthless man because he stole my wife." He says with anger in his eyes. "You killed him because of that?!"
"Your mom should've been with me!" He shouts, really loudly. "But she went to be with a fucked up man." "You're the one who's fucked up! Just let me go!"
"Do you wanna join your dad?" He asks bending down to my level. I stare at him and I don't answer.
Grayson's POV:
Everybody wakes up and I can't stop worrying about Lexie. "Where's Lexie?" Roger says looking at the empty space.
Riggs is in the bathroom. "Riggs? Riggs! Lexie's gone!" Roger shouts. Riggs runs in and looks at the bed.
"She promised she wouldn't go." He says quietly. He then looks through the draw. "My gun. My gun's gone!" He looks at me.
"Do you know where she's gone?" He asks quickly. "No." I lie. I've never been good at lying. He puts his head to the side.
I sigh and give in. "I promised not to say but... she said she's going to see a friend." His eyes widen.
"She's gone to see Gabe." Roger rubs the back of his neck.
Roger gives Riggs a spare gun. "Do you know where abouts she went?" He asks. I shake my head, which is the truth.
His phone pings and he looks at it. "It's from Lexie." He says opening the text.
I see the messages.
Lexie: help I'm in the abandoned warehouse
Riggs: what?
Lexie: please Riggs!
Riggs: I'm on my way
"You stay here." Roger tells me and I nod.
Lexie's POV...
I've got a gun to my head. He's stolen my phone. "Riggs is on his way.. to his death." He says laughing. "No! No, please!" I beg. The guy pushes the gun in my head more and it hurts.
I soon hear the doors open and they put a cloth over my mouth. I see Roger and Riggs and they see me.
I hear gunshots and they find cover.
I struggle to get the ropes around my wrists off. But I do finally.
The gun next to my head, I grab and I run behind a wall, which isn't too far away. I start to shoot them I see Gabe hiding away.
