We enter a second building, also underground. I can finally breath clearly. Two men and a woman are standing near.
"Look what the cat dragged in" an older-looking man says
I look at him in annoyance, rolling my eyes.
The girl, standing beside the older man, crosses her arms over her red curly hair. Taller than me, but the shortest out of the four people. The youngest guy looks at me with pretty blue eyes. If I wasn't so tired I would think he feels sorry for me.
"I'm Jenny" says the red head.
"And that's Tate." She points at the older man.
"I-i'm Leighton" the last one says.
"Well I am-"
"We all know who you are" Tate says.
Jenny comes closer and circles me.
"Addisyn" she says under her breath.
"So sorry to break conversation but my main question here is what do you want with me?" I say, hoping for a good answer.
"I'll explain later" Caden says
Leighton gets a worried look and I say "or you can explain now?" I fire back
"Feisty?" Tate remarks
I ignore Tate and watch Jenny, still circling me.
"So am I a prisoner or something?"
"I said I'll explain later!" Caden says furiously.
Caden walks me out the door. We go back to the same place I started out.
"Caden... Please don't leave me here again. It's so cold and-"
"I won't. I'll take you to the guest room. Don't tell Jenny. She gets jealous."
"Wow Jenny? Does she have a thing for you? Sounds like she's got a soft side after all."
"Whatever. And Jenny is my sister. Not my girlfriend. C'mon."
I frown and walk beside Caden quietly. We pass by Leighton and Caden puts a finger to his lips, telling Leighton not to tell. He leaves the guest bedroom, awkwardly telling me goodnight. I lay on the queen size bed and my eyes drift off. Someone knocks on the door and I panic sitting up fast. I'm not afraid of Jenny but any jealous girl is scary. The door opens and I clench my fists preparing myself. When I see Leighton my fists are relieved and I calm down sinking back onto the bed.
"Umm I hope I didn't wake you..." He stutters
"No you're fine" I reply.
"Are you okay in here?"
"Kind of... I mean it's cold and not my house..."
"I'm sorry... Wish I could help" he says apologetically. Why is he so nice? What makes him different from anyone else here?
"It's okay I just wish I knew what was going on. I might be able to sleep better"
"I would tell you but you look tired already..."
"Oh well Caden said he'd tell me tomorrow. Do you know what time it is?"
"11:42 p.m."
"I've been here for five hours now???"
"Sorry. Ya know Addisyn... You're really pretty."
"...seriously?"
"Um I'm really sorry..."
"It's okay... And thank you Leighton"
He sits down beside me and leans over me, staring at my lips ready to kiss me.
