Relief.

Thats what flooded through my body when I saw his face.

He had a bloody lip.

Yet he still smiled brightly when he saw me.

It felt as if the world slowed down as I ran across the parking lot to him.

Police parted way for me.

I scooped him up into my arms hugging him tightly.

I squeezed my eyes shut distantly hearing yelling.

"I wasn't gonna do anything to him!"

"He's lying.." Lance whispered.

"He said he was going to take me back to his house.. and when I said no..he got mad." He murmered trembling.

"It's ok..you don't have to worry about that anymore." I assured him.

I opened my eyes to see the police shoving a middle aged man into the cruiser.

I don't think I have ever despised somebody more.

Who was sick enough to try and steal a young boy away from his family.

I looked over to where Boone was sitting by Milah seemingly listening to the police giving some sort of information.

"Hey..I think you should go say Thankyou to Boone." I whispered putting him down.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because I'm pretty sure he's the one who found you."

He looked over and his eyes lit up, "He's a hero like bolt now!"

I smiled at his childish behavior.

He ran over to Boone kneeling down to hug him.

Letting out A shaky breath, I walked over to Milah now as well.

"Lance, wanna ride back in the cruiser?" Milah asked.

Lance nodded wildly, "Can Layton come!?"

Milah looked at Julie who nodded, "Sure.. we're going to follow you guys home.."

The rest of us took that as a cue to get back to the car.

~~~~~

Boone

I had ended up switching back to normal behind a random car. Which was stressfull, I was terrified that somebody would see me.

That's just embarrasing.

Jessie rested her head on my shoulder adjusting her seatbelt.

I shifted as well using that chance to sneak a peak at Rogue.

His eyes were trained on the police cruiser in front of us. JJ was trying to distract him, but he wouldn't budge.

I finally caught his eye, I flashed him a shy smile.

His eyes widned slightly, cheeks dusted pink.

JJ noticed the quick exchange and smirked.

~~~~~

Rogue

Just seeing his smile made me feel a little better.

Ok wow.

I just thought that.

I felt myself blush as I looked down.

JJ nudged me smirking.

"Hm?"

"What's got you all flustered?" He whispered.

"He's not making me flustered." I muttered.

"He?"

Shit.

"I..You..just shut up." I said looking away.

He shrugged with a cocky smile.

"Whoever "he" is. If he makes you happy, I think you should go for it." He whispered before leaning back.

Did he have a point?
