Sierras POV
"What's up with you today?" I whisper not wanting Bonnie to hear us while she's watching the tv in my apartment.
"What do you mean?" Ace ask in a whisper raising an eyebrow at me.
"You know exactly what I mean" I whisper remembering how off he was on the phone the other day too.
"I'm going to have to ask you a huge favor and I'm going to need you not to ask any questions" Ace whispers making me start to worry that he's in some kind of trouble now.
"What is it?" I ask looking back at Bonnie.
"I'm going to be away for the week and I'm going to need you to watch Bonnie for me. Don't ask why or where I'm going to... please" Ace ask and I stare at him blankly.
Ace is never the type to ask for anyone's help I'm something much less if it has something to do with Bonnie.
He's not one to say please for something either making me wonder what he's up to.
"Jake?" I ask below a whisper just in case Hayden is in his apartment.
Ace nods and I sigh. "Same routine?" I ask and he nods again.
"You're the best, Sierra. You know I wouldn't ask this much of you if it wasn't important. I have to leave in less then an hour" he says and goes over to Bonnie and I see him kiss her in the forehead and hug her goodbye.
"Everything she might need is In her backpack"
He says as I lead him out of my apartment.
"Matthew" I say turning serious. "You better be careful or else I will find you and tear you limb by limb myself" I warn him and he laughs it off.
"I will. Call me if it's important. You're the best and thank you, Sierra" he says pulling me into a hug before leaving.
When the elevator comes up Hayden passes Ace to the elevator and Ace waves at me before pushing a button on one of the machines.
I wave back and just as the elevators close he starts to make a few funny faces and that's when I notice that Bonnie was in front of me now.
I laugh noticing Bonnies funny faces.
"BYE DAD!" Bonnie shouts.
"BYE BUNNY!" Ace shouts even if the elevators have closed already.
I hear the door slam shut from Hayden's door and I raise an eyebrow wondering if everything is alright with him.
"Why did he shut the door so hard?" Bonnie ask looking over at Hayden's apartment door.
"I have no clue" I say thinking the same thing.
"Can we make him a cake so he can feel better?" Bonnie whispers and I shrug.
"Are you sure the cake is for him and not for you?" I ask and she starts to giggle as she's turning a shade of pink.
"Nooo" she says suspiciously.
"Fine but first you need to eat something" I say and she hugs me.
