"DAMN IT Y/N! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT LEAVING ME BEHIND LIKE THAT?! I ALMOST GOT CAUGHT! AND FOR ONCE I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!" There he goes yelling at me again for another successful heist.

Grow up bro, geez. Y/n thought to herself as they arrived home. She had successfully stolen the mayor's wife's ring. Don't ask how or why but the mayor and his wife were furious.

Y/n walked into the abandoned apartment complex feeling completely exhausted. Sure stealing a ring doesn't sound that hard. But there was so much more to it than just slipping it off her finger.

She had decided to go into their estate while they were sleeping and steal it off of her limp, slumbering body. There was a very large amount of security watching them at night so that made it harder. All her brother managed to do was be a distraction out in the front yard.

She waited till all of the security left to take care of lewis so she could get into their bedroom. After that, it wasn't that hard. She took the ring off of the slumbering woman's slender finger, placed it in her zipper pocket, and left her signature symbol.

A beautiful drawing of a bleeding rose. But she would change one thing about the drawings every time she did something depending on what she did. Today she drew a rose with blood dripping onto the beautiful ring she just took off the woman's finger.

After leaving the drawing on the woman's nightstand for her to find in the morning she made quick work of exciting the building. She found a way to sneak past every guard on her way out and not alarm anyone of her being there.

In fact, she almost ended up leaving her brother there. Well, she was leaving him there till he saw her start to walk down the street towards their apartment. He realized that she was going to leave him there so he got his ass out of there and caught up with her.

That was why he scolded her the whole way back to the apartment. Now she sat on their leather couch in their living room and flipped the news on the T.V.

"Breaking news! The villain known as Balthazar Bratt had recently attempted to steal the Dumont Diamond off of a cargo ship. The diamond has been taken to the museum where it belongs and where it is safe." "Oh, Bullshit!"

"Language y/n."

"Oh shut it Lewis."

He's still kickin huh. I haven't seen his ass since we were teenagers. I wonder if he is still a big goofus.

"Hey lew, ima get some sleep. I have something I'm gonna do tomorrow morning, so don't come to ask me shit. I ain't gonna be here."

Y/n went to her room and plopped on her bed going over all of their past memories. If she was being honest, she missed him a lot. When they were younger they met at a talent show being held at the local park.

~Flash Back~

"Y/n!" Oh my goodness it's my turn already!? What if they don't like me? What if they don't like the song I chose? I mean I love Michael Jackson, but what if they don't and they make fun of me?!?!?

Y/n was torn from her thoughts when she made it to the stage. Here goes nothing...

She began to sing as the music played in the background. Halfway through singing man in the mirror, she met a pair of brown eyes in the far back of the crowd that had formed from the past acts.

Something about the look in those eyes gave her the confidence to express herself completely. She put her heart and soul into every word and the crowd was loving it. One person more than the rest.

The boy who was the owner of the brown orbs she looked into before her talent burst was impressed and excited to go up on stage next.

After she sang her heart out she exited the stage and entered the crowd looking for a nice spot in the front.

After a couple of minutes, a boy that looked to be 3 years older than her walked up on stage in a purple suit with shoulder pads. Heh, cute she thought looking up into his eyes.

His brown eyes met her E/C orbs once more and she realized that those were the same eyes she saw in the back of the crowd earlier.

The music began and she could tell it was smooth criminal. "This song is for the lovely girl that sang before me, my fellow Michael Jackson lover" for some reason this made her blush and look away from him.

He saw this and smirked down at her and began to sing. He was amazing the way he could hit every single note and hit every dance move flawlessly.

The whole time she couldn't keep her eyes off of him and the way he seemed to flow across the stage. All of the girls around his age in the crowd were screaming for him and stretching their hands out to him but he seemed to back away from them seeming uninterested in them.

He looked back at the girl to see her smiling and singing along with him quietly. This made his heart flutter and he knew he had to do something to try and catch her attention completely.

He began to sing straight to her locking their eyes together for the rest of the act. Many of the girls in the crowd felt jealous but they were too scared to put any action behind their feelings.

After the act he walked off stage and grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the stage and into the quieter part of the park.

"Hey, my name is Balthazar, but you can just call me Bratt." She smiled at him and giggled a little.

"Hi Bratt, I'm Y/n, but you can just call me n/n (nickname)"

He smiled at hearing her beautiful voice saying her own name. Coming off of her tongue like soft butter.

Ever since he heard her voice for the first time, he wanted to hear it again and again.

"You were amazing up there n/n, Im so happy that someone else likes Michael Jackson as much as I do. Would you want to maybe get something to drink? I heard there's a really nice cafe down the road." Well that was a lot to take in. She thought before processing what he had just said.

"Thank you, and you were incredible up there. I've always loved listening to Michael, even when he was with the Jackson 5. And yeah, I would love to get a drink. Let's go!" She said grabbing his arm and pulling him along with her.

They spent the rest of the day laughing and drinking f/n/a/d. ( favorite non-alcoholic drink.)

At the end of their "date" so to speak, they exchanged numbers and went back to their homes.

~end of flashback~

"God its been so long..." After saying this she closed her eyes and drifted off into a rest full sleep.
