Leo

"Oh Leo!" I heard Nate's annoying voice.

I don't want to wake up yet. Maybe if I ignore him he will go away.

"Leo!" He yelled and made a loud ringing sound hitting two pans together creating an unnecessary loud and annoying sound.

Leave my pans alone.

"Stop that!" I groaned and grabbed one of the pans.

"Oh you're awake" He pointed out, "Good morning sleeping beauty" He said smirking and leaned on the wall.

"You are the most annoying person on earth" I groaned and got up.

"And you're wearing batman boxers. I'm embarrassed for you"

I was embarrassed for myself too, but I had no choice.

I rolled my eyes, "Will you get the fuck out of my room? Why are you in my apartment, how did you even get in here?" 

"I might have used my lock picking skills"

"I will kill you" I growled.

"All bark and no bite" He said rolling his eyes, "Now let's go talk to Ares. He wants to talk to us"

_______

Ares sent me on a mission to find some guys. Nate insisted he comes with me, but I told him I could handle it. He did get really worried though.

"Text me the moment you get there and when you're about to leave and when you arrive home or I'll place a tracking device on you next time" He had said.

I was back in the neighborhood that they'd found me three years ago. This place brought back memories. I could still remember how terrified I was. I wasn't that terrified boy anymore. I knew and trusted myself. Whoever tried anything would not end up good.

We had tricked these guys into thinking I was going to buy from them. Little did they know.

I heard footsteps coming my way, but it sounded like someone was running. Before I knew it someone bumped onto my chest and I heard their hard breathing.

I looked down to see a girl there and raised my eyebrow.

"I need to get out of here" She mumbled and I saw two guys walking towards us.

"Too late little girl" They said.

What's with girls always getting in trouble in the neighborhood? Could she be the same girl? She has curly hair too.

"Get behind me" I told her getting in front of her ready to take out my gun.

"No" She said firmly.

"I said get behind me"

"I can handle it" She said. She looked furious.

"Wait aren't you the guy we were supposed to sell our stuff too?" One of them said.

fuck.

"You're with her?" The other one asked clearly getting angry.

I grabbed the girls hand and started running as I heard their footsteps behind us.

I stopped when I found a hiding spot and turned to her, "Why couldn't you just do what I say and let me handle this?" I whispered clearly angry.

"Why-" She started loudly but I shushed her. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, "Why couldn't you let me handle my own problems and not step in to play the hero" She whispered.
