PROJECT VOID. (Based on the mobile game)

Little excursion, big mistake

" Alright, pls an we go home know it's been way too long I'm tired" I whined.

" Oh hush its only been 6 hours" Alyssa scoffed." I even managed to reduce my time today for you non- mallers"

Did she just say it had been 6 hours?!
How?!

I didn't even bother wanting to know I just took my phone and called or of the boys , Nicholas ( don't blame me , I didn't want to call Tiff's teddy bear and Jake is absolutely off limits, I still don't understand what happened that day at the recovery room)

"Angela?" Nicholas' voice soft.

Oh my..."Nicholas, hey, was wondering if you could come get us from the mall , we're finally done with this hell of an excursion"

He yawned " ah? Okay, coming right now, be there in 10" I think he just woke up from a nap, he sounded so peaceful.

"Thanks, see you" I replied.
"See you" he said softly cutting the call.

I was shaken out of my daydream by Tiffany who seemed on edge and Alyssa who was beside her keeping an eye on some people.

"Angie, I think we should leave, were being followed..."

What?!

Followed? Again?

We briskly walked out of the building and as suspected the guys we thought were following us slowly but surely made they're way to us.
We had hidden behind a pillar outside quickly making sure we weren't seen.

My heart picked up in pace and my breathing got ragged. What do these people want? Are they involved with the person after us?

I felt a right squeeze on my arm. I looked to my right to see Tiffany's eyes closed and her breathing was uneven as well.
Alyssa kept looking to make sure we were in the clear.

I held her hand to let her know everything was alright. I think my silent gesture worked as she calmed down.

Then I finally got the call from Nicholas

" Hey , I'm outside the mall where are you guys?" He asked.
I calmed down and put the phone to my ear

" Nicholas listen to me very closely..." I started.

"There are some people who followed us out of the mall and they're currently looking for us , we don't know if they're associated with who's looking for us or not but we're hiding behind a white pillar close to the entrance,  do you think you can get to us unnoticed?" I say calmly.

" Yh, I've spotted the pillar , coming to you guys now, and Angel ...pls be safe" he cut the call.

Wait... Did he call me Angel?

Then the car pulled up infront of the pillar, I looked at Alyssa and Tiffany and nodded then we all ran into the car as quickly as possible and shut the door.

At that instant , it seemed as though our followers had realized our movement I turned to Nicholas with panicked eyes and he looked at me then he looked forward his jaw clenched.

He smashed the gas peddle and we zoomed off, making sure we wouldn't be easily followed.

******************************
We got back to the dorm and we ran out t of the car into the compound.

Tiffany ran to Damian and he hugged her close.

Alyssa walked slowly coming into the compound holding her forehead with her hands.
Jake looked at her at walked up to her and they started talking. He held her head and she leaned on his shoulder as they walked into the dorm.

I was still panting and my heart was still pumping really fast.

" Hey" Nicholas called out to me

" Oh hey" I smiled at him.

" That was a rollercoaster I'm guessing" he started as he came to me.

" Yh, I had never been aware of being followed and actually doing something about it, haha" I laughed, still feeling that adrenaline.

" Oh but you're a brave little girl" he mocked.

" Who're you calling little?" I spat.

He laughed and I laughed along with him.
We walked around the court and talked for a while , getting to know each other a little better.

Then he finally said " I don't really plan on coming for that party tomorrow..."

" Oh ? Why not?" I asked sounding a little disappointed.

" What if something happens and then none of us can call detective Stone or anyone else for that matter?" He started.

"Plus, parties aren't really my strong suit" he smiled putting his hands up in defense.

He was right as much as I wanted him to come he had a point.
"Alright, but don't get too bored alright?" I laughed nudging his shoulder.

" I should be telling you not to miss me too much" he teased.

" Me? Miss you? Ha! In your dreams pretty boy " I snapped.

" Oh so you think I'm pretty?" He smirked.

I punched him in the shoulder as he laughed at me, I turned red , i was sure I did.
His expression turned serious and I got scared for a second.

" If Jake tries anything you don't like , I want to pls feel free to tell me and watch your back at the party alright?" He spoke.
Where was this coming from?, I'm guessing he realized something off that day at the recovery room but he didn't need to tell me that twice.

" No problem, I'll be alright" I smiled placing my hand on his shoulder reassuring him. His shoulders finally relax.

" Good" he smiled cupping my cheek with his hands before walking back inside as it was late now.

He left me in awe... I felt... wanted? I wasn't sure but I liked it, I felt drawn to him.
He stopped Infront of the door before turning around to look at me" you coming?" He asked looking back at me with a confused but amused expression.
"Y-yeah, right behind you " I ran after him.

" I'll give it another try, only cuz it's her!" Nicholas shouted to Damian as we walked in, Nicholas ran upstairs.

Damian jumped out of his seat ...

" W-WAIT WHAT?!"...
