Paige POV-

I'm with Melissa and we are going to meet the people she was telling me about. We are somewhere in Philly I had to lie to Emily saying I was Melissa at the law firm doing some papers. And Emily believed me we are front a building and there area is not good so we get out of the car. And we go inside.

'' Paige don't be scare they won't hurt you ok'' Melissa said we are going up the stairs

'' I won't be scare but if someone gets out of line with me I'm going to punch someone the face'' I said to her and we get to the six floor and Melissa knocks on the door. Then a guy opens the door they greet each other then he greets me and he lets us inside the apartment.

'' Melissa glad you can make it'' A guy says to her

'' It's been a while how you been?'' Melissa asked

'' I been good so this must be the girl you told me about'' He said looking at me

'' Paige this is Ted'' Melissa said

'' Paige is nice to meet you'' Ted said

'' You too nice to meet you'' I tell him and we go to the kitchen and I see two guys and a girl coming into the kitchen

'' Paige I want you to meet Noel, Sean and Mona'' Ted said and we greet each other and Melissa tells Ted that I want to hear about the plan first before I can say yes.

'' I'm good at breaking into safes and I'm a counterfeiter'' Noel said with a cocky smile

'' And I'm a smuggler and I'm the getaway driver'' Sean said

'' I'm Mona the con artist also I'm good with technology '' Mona said

'' And also she is the getaway driver too'' Melissa said

'' What about you Ted what is your special skill'' I said

'' I'm the master mind I plan everything and I give orders of what we steal Paige they are highly skilled criminals this is how we making a living'' Ted said

'' You should tell Paige what's the plan'' Melissa said

'' We are going to rob a bank and inside the vault there are valuables and cash also safe deposit boxes worth $100 million in uncut diamonds and not to forget $28 million dollars also'' Ted said

'' Wait a minute rob a bank I never did major crime like that before I mostly I did home invasions I'm not a high skill thief'' I said

'' It's simple we done this before and we gotten away with it. All you have to do is you and Noel also Sean will go inside the vault and steal every single thing inside the vault. And Mona will wait as the getaway driver'' Ted said and I look at them

'' Paige they been doing for a while now and they never once got arrested'' Melissa said

'' Yeah Paige the cops never caught us we will do this late night we got everything plan out we just need a third person helping Noel and Sean'' Mona said

'' Mona will be the getaway driver and will work the technology making sure the security cameras won't focus on you three. Also Mona will jail break the alarm system giving enough time to do the job'' Melissa said

'' But the job has to be done fast and I will listen and mess with the police car radio while Mona give them the wrong address in case the alarms are set off in the bank'' Ted said wow they everything happen out but it's a huge risk I never done something like this.

'' You are thief then what's wrong helping us because we will give you a cut what are you scare about?'' Mona said

'' Yeah like Mona said or maybe you are just low life thief and if you want to upgrade then help us rob the bank we got everything plan and we have the tools to do with'' Noel said

'' Ok first of all I'm not a low life thief and I don't want go to jail because on the last crime I did I got caught by the cops'' I told them

'' You got caught because you didn't plan it right you just went in and if you did it right you would have never got caught by the cops in the first place'' Sean said

'' When will this happen?'' I asked

'' Frist you have to say yes and if you do we will tell you everything'' Ted said and I look at Melissa

''And what you will be doing?'' I asked Melissa

'' I will get the blue prints of the bank and I will be helping Ted'' Melissa said I take a deep breath

'' Ok I'm in so what's the plan'' I said and Ted smiles at me

'' Good choice Paige by any chance are you good with guns'' Ted said to me

'' Yes I know how to use a gun and clean it also'' I said they explain to me how the job will be done the only need we need is the blue prints of the bank so Melissa will get that first. Then from there he will show us where the vault is and the safe deposit box. We talked more about it and how everyone is getting and it seems a good share of what everyone is getting.

'' When people know you've been a soldier, they judge you: you are a thief, a lost boy'' Mona said but I don't know what she means by that

Next day-

To Emily: Hey babe are you free today?

From Emily: Maybe

To Emily: Maybe? I want to take you out for breakfast

From Emily: Where are we going?

To Emily: How about ihop?

From Emily: Ok I haven't been to ihop in a while :)

We decide it to go to ihop when Emily picks me up from my house I get inside her car she reaches over and we kiss.

'' I love kissing you but I'm starving'' I tell her with a smile then she laughs

'' Yeah me too let's go eat'' Emily she starts to drive and it didn't take long to get here at ihop we go inside the restaurant and then hostess take us to our table and then we sit down and she give us the menu. Then bit later the waitress comes and takes our order.

'' I think I will get the New York cheesecake pancakes'' I tell the waitress

'' And I will get the strawberry banana pancakes'' Emily said to the waitress

'' After we eat I have a surprise for you so you will have to wait and see''

'' Can you give me a hint'' Emily said a smile

'' No there is a reason why it's called a surprise'' I tell her then waitress brings our food and we start eating.

'' I love spending time with you'' I said to her

'' Me too Paige I got a question what is your most favorite song?'' Emily said

'' Hard choice I have too many favorite songs but my top two favorite song is called calling all stations by the band I Hate This Place. And second favorite song is summertime sadness by Lana Del Rey. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go?''

'' Anywhere really don't mind to travel to different countries ok where you see yourself in five years?'' Emily said

'' Well I don't know really but I hope we are still together in the long run'' I said and we reach over the table and we kiss.

We done eating and I paid the bill we leave the restaurant and I put the address in the GPS and we are going to an aquarium. When we get here at the aquarium and I look at Emily's face hoping she won't think its lame.

'' So what do you think we are here at the aquarium you hate it don't you I'm sorry. We don't have to go inside if you don't want'' I said in a low voice

'' No I like it I think it's cool lets go inside'' Emily said and she gives me a kiss on the cheek and I smile then we get out of the car and we go inside and I pay for the tickets. We go inside holding hands and this place is huge with so many types of fish and other animals. The first sea creatures we see are the longhorn cowfish and we hear the speaker a voice talking about the longhorn cowfish.

'' Longhorn cowfish can be found in the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific region. Longhorn cowfish can be found in bays and estuaries among weedy areas near rocky areas, coral reefs, mud flats and sandy habitats. Adult longhorn cowfish are typically solitary but can be found in pairs when mating. Fertilization of the eggs is external and both the eggs and larvae are pelagic, meaning they wander through the open ocean'' the narrator said

We see so many different types of sea creatures and reptiles and I have a surprise for her I have the ring and I'm going to give it to her. Next we see is the Argentine Black And White Tegu.

'' A large lizard species, the Argentine Black and White tegu can reach lengths of 4 feet and can weigh up to 15 pounds. And their ranges are Southern Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Northern Argentina, and Northern Uruguay. Omnivorous diet which includes fruits, vegetables, small rodents, snails and eggs'' The narrator said

This place is really big and in here the lights are dim then Emily wants to take a picture by the penguins and we asked a stranger to take our picture and he did.

'' Paige I'm having fun being here with you thank you I love it'' Emily said with a smile on her face and we go see the seahorse Emily stands in front of me and I put my hands around her waist. And I lay my chin her shoulder while we look at the seahorse swimming around in the tank.

'' A young lined seahorse will be 5/8 inch long but within 10 months can reach an average size of 5 inches. The average number of seahorses born at one time is 100-450. A newborn seahorse is extremely tiny, and nearly transparent. Most species of seahorses are monogamous, and couples start each dawn with a greeting dance that can last up to ten minutes'' The narrator said

'' I didn't know about that seahorses are monogamous'' Emily said puts her hands on top of mine

'' We both are learning a lot today it's kind of cool here'' I said then we go the gift shop and I buy her a stuffed sea turtle then we leave the gift shop and we go sit down on a bench. We are both facing each other then we look at the huge tank next us and inside are the sharks swimming around.

'' Emily there is something I want to tell you'' I said to Emily I hold her hands

'' Paige is everything ok?'' Emily asked holding my hand tight

'' Yeah its nothing bad ok when I was in the hospital I had dream I think. Well I saw my uncle Dave and his wife and it felt so real. We talked and we hugged and I miss him a lot we well he told me about this ring he had and gave to his wife but she passed away when I was a baby. So the ring he told me about it was in a storage locker in New York that's I had to go. Do you think I'm crazy?'' I said

'' No you are not crazy Paige and did you find the ring?'' Emily said

'' Yeah I did'' I said and I take out the ring box from my jacket and I open the box and I show it to Emily.

'' Wow it's a beautiful ring Paige'' Emily said

'' Emily I want you to have it''

'' Paige I can't but why are you giving it to me you should keep it was your uncle's ring when he gave it to his wife'' Emily said

'' Emily I will never get tired telling you that I love you with all my heart and I don't want to love another person like the way I love you. And I want you to have this ring because there are not enough words to explain of why I love you and I love everything about you'' I tell her and I see her eyes are forming tears then goes down on her cheek

'' Emily I'm sorry if you'' I try to say something but then I feel her lips on mine it's a small kiss then we break from the kiss.

'' Paige I love you too and when I'm with you I feel happy and safe also I will never get tired telling I love you either. You will always have my heart no one else Paige and its joy of tears'' Emily said and I have a huge smile on my face and I take out the ring and I take her hand and I put it on her ring finger.

'' Does it fit?''

'' Yes Paige it fits fine thank you'' Emily said and we kiss again we break form the kiss and we rest our foreheads together then we break away from each other.

'' So this means I'm stuck with you forever?'' I said with a small smile then Emily playfully smack my hand

'' You making it sound like you are forced to be stuck with me'' Emily said

'' Emily I didn't mean like that you know I will be happy being with you forever''

'' Well good you should be happy'' Emily said and we both laugh

'' Let's go home'' I tell her

'' Yeah thank you I love this ring'' Emily said gives me a kiss on the cheek we both get up from the bench and we leave the aquarium.

Few nights later-

Melissa and I are here at Ted's place tonight. We rob the bank last night Melissa got the blue prints and Ted told me Noel and Sean of where to go and how many safe deposit boxes was inside. Now Ted is explaining the plan to all of us what will do and how fast we have to do it.

'' Does everyone knows what they have to do?'' Ted asked and we all said yes so now Noel, Sean and I pack everything we need and we changed our clothes and we wear all black. And then masks we are going to wear cover everything but our eyes.

'' Paige are you ready?'' Sean asked

'' Yeah but I'm just bit nervous'' I tell him while we pack our tools and we grab our pistols just incase

'' Don't worry Paige you will do fine'' Sean tells me with a smile the three of us get done ready

'' Ok listen up you two Ted said I'm in charge ok so I don't want any problems'' Noel said to me and Sean also Mona is waiting for us outside in the car. We leave the apartment and we get into the car and Mona starts to drive. While Ted and Melissa listen to radio of the cop car making sure they won't catch us. Plus he gave a walkie talkie to Mona and she gave a wireless mini spy ear plug to Noel.

'' You guys know what to do so get ready'' Mona said the car is behind the building where the bank is at and behind the building there is a door so we put our masks on and we get out of the car. And Mona is messing with the alarm system giving us time to get inside.

Noel uses his kit to pick the door then we go inside slowly making sure no one is here the place is empty. While inside we see the vault where the money is put away Noel takes out his angle grinder then puts his goggles on. And starts cutting the metal while Sean and I are the look out. Noel is done then takes out plasma cutters turns it on it starts burning the metal. After he gets done burning the metal he also takes out the bore scope and into the safe to get an intimate look into a specific part of the security container.

Noel is done opens the safe and Sean and I go inside quick. While Noel is putting his stuff away Sean and I take the money putting it in the bag. The money is on a long table stacked in rows so much money then there are safe deposit box. Then Noel comes inside and starts opening the safe boxes just taking everything and putting it inside the bag.

There were rows of money on the tables and Sean and I took it. The bag I have is getting heavy when I get done taking the money I start to open the safe boxes. And inside I find gun money and jewelries and a lot more. Ted gave us a key that opens every single box with the same key and I didn't ask where he got it from.

'' Hurry up grab everything we are running of time'' Noel told us

The three of us open every single safe deposit box we took everything what we found.

'' Come lets go'' Noel said Sean and I follow Noel leaving the vault we go through the same way we came in then we hear security guard yelling and running after us. The security guard runs at me causing him to hit my back and I almost fall I drop the bag. And I punch the security guard in the mouth and I punch him again in the stomach. Then Sean grabs my arm and I grab the bag fast and we run out of the building. We get in the car fast and Mona starts to drive. The three of take our masks off and we smile at each other.

'' Took you guys long enough I just send the wrong address to the cops'' Mona said and I take off my mask and the guys do the same

'' Holy shit we got away with it'' I said breathing little bit hard

'' Told you we don't get caught'' Noel said then we hear cop cars sirens but they are not following us we see them driving somewhere else passing us. For a minute I thought they caught us. Then we drive back to the apartment we grab the bags and we run upstairs and quickly going inside. And we look at each with big smiles on our faces then Ted and Melissa looks at us and Ted opens a bag and sees everything inside.

'' This call for a celebration!'' Ted said goes gets two bottle of champagne opens it and everyone gets a cup and we all start drinking then Sean gives me a hug and gives me a kiss then cheek. Then the guys open the bags and dump everything on the table and everyone has the biggest smile like we won the lottery.

'' Told you Ted she will be good for the job'' Melissa said smiling at him then me

'' Did a good job with helping the guys Paige'' Mona said

'' You too you great skills giving the cops the wrong address'' I said to Mona and I keep drinking but I can't drink too much right now. Then Ted puts the money into the counting money machine then gives everyone a cut and everyone is happy with their share. And they kept the other stuff because I didn't want it I just wanted the money.

'' Melissa I have to go home'' I said to her

'' Alright Paige I will take you home'' Melissa said

'' Paige here take this'' Ted said and he gives me his number on a piece a paper

'' What is this for?'' I asked

'' If you ever need something call us'' Ted said then I say bye to Mona, Noel and Sean then Melissa and I leave the apartment. Then bit later Melissa drop me off and I go inside the house I hide the money in a envelope and I hide it in the night stand draw and then I go take a shower.

I get done taking a shower I go to my room and I see Taylor on the bed with the envelope where I hide the money inside and he doesn't look happy.

'' Paige where did you get this money?'' Taylor asked and I didn't say anything I just stood shut

'' Are you stealing again?'' He asked and again I didn't say a word then he gets up comes close to me then hits me with his left back hand and I lose my balance and I taste blood.

'' Why did you hit me?''

'' Paige I know you are stealing again there is no way you should have this much money and you don't have a job'' Taylor yelled

'' But you didn't have fucking hit me!'' I yelled back at him

'' Paige I'm tired of this crap you getting into trouble with the cops and your dad, I'm tired of everyone talking behind my back and I want you to leave this house. And don't come back and hurry up get your shit and leave before I call the cops, you got five minutes to leave'' Taylor said with anger then leaves my room and I start to cry and I pack everything fast and I take the money and I leave the house.

I start to walk with my back-pack with everything I packed. And I'm still crying if I call Emily she will ask why and I don't want to lie to her and if I tell her truth she will leave me. I don't want to call anyone I just want to be by myself. I keep walking and I see a motel called Mosley motel. I go inside and I pay for a room and he gives me the key inside the room it's has a single bed white walls with a ugly picture frame hanging on the wall. And a old TV I go inside and I lock the door. What I'm going to do now and I cry myself to sleep.
