My heart did not stop its harsh thuds for the whole car journey.
"How do you look like Kilo?" I ask, voice still quivering.
The person presses something on his wrist and, suddenly, he didn't look like Kilo, instead, he was a scrawny teenager with messy blond curls and green eyes. Quite the opposite to Kilo. He seemed pissed off.
"Name's Ash, but you have to call me Asher."
I was in disbelief of what I just witnessed. His skin got replaced with a slightly more pinkish, less olive complexion and he just... transformed.
"H- how-"
"Close your mouth, you look like a fish."
"Okay cool, Ash."
He let out a slightly amused grunt.
"And relax, I had to act tough so you would feel threatened, I'm not actually like that. Your boyfriend is fine."
"He's not my boyfriend."
I don't exactly know why I said that.
"Didn't seem like it when you guys were walking to school together."
"Wait, you were spying on me?"
"For months."
The rest of the car journey, I was in disbelief and found it impossible to digest everything that has happened in the last hour or so. I felt like opening the car door while moving and running but I couldn't let Kilo down. I felt like killing Ash or Asher, I felt like wrapping my hand around his throat and squeezing. But then I wouldn't know where Kilo was.
We stopped at a service station. Ash sighed, "Sorry, just need to get some food. And, uh, sorry for kissing you."
As he left the car, I wanted to say I didn't mind but I had to remind myself that I did.
When he got back, I asked how long was left.
He replied half an hour.
I asked if I would ever be able to see my mother again.
He replied that I probably wouldn't.
The blood drained from my body.
