We waited patiently for good 15 minutes but dad still didn't come. I left the meeting room to go check when I saw him talking to a...little girl?

I started walking towards them and saw a girl who was about my age. She had mid-length brunette hair, big brown eyes and soft lips. She looked so cute in her blue jeans and red top.

"Aren't you one brave girl?" Dad asked.

"That I am mister" She said proudly.

Damn. She was so confident.

Why is she at such a dangerous place though? More importantly how did she even come inside?

"Dad" I called.

Dad turned around to me and said.

"I was about to come inside. Let's go" Dad said as he said bye to the girl and left but I just stood there. I couldn't help but stare in her brown eyes they were so beautiful.

"Um, hi" She said.

I kept my cold face.

"Who let you in?" I asked harshly.

"My Dad was here to deliver your dad a parcel" She explained.

That's how she's here!

"You shouldn't be roaming around alone this place is dangerous" I warned her.

"No, it's not." She said.

"Whatever your name is, leave" I ordered.

"1. It's Olivia

2. Mom says we should be nice to others, you can be nicer too." Damn.

Before I could reply there were gunshots everywhere. Fuck.

"We're under attack" I heard someone yell.

Fucking Mexicans.

I looked at her and she didn't look the slightest bit scared.

"Olivia I need you to leave, now" I said.

"No, I wanna stay" she whined.

Did she not hear the gun fire? Or is she dumb?

"OLIVIA LEAVE" I yelled.

She didn't budge.

I pulled her by the arm and took her to the door as I instructed her how to get out.

She sighed and started running, but the minute she closed the door it blasted. Bomb.

I didn't know if she crossed it or not. I couldn't help but scream.

End of flashback.

"NO!" I jerked up.

I was sweating as I saw Olivia jerking up too.

"Blaze? Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.

I saw her next to me and immediately took her face in my palms and pressed our foreheads together as I convinced myself she's okay, she's alive, she made it out that day.

"Blaze! Blazeeee! BLAZE" she snapped me out of my daze.

I saw her worried expression.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Nothing, go back to sleep" I asked as I took my t-shirt off.

I caught her staring at my abs but didn't say anything as I was still recovering from my dream.
