WARNING
this is my first attempt at Risa's POV T.T
so if it sounds weird... I apologize x.x
I swear it gets better in the next chapter
Risa:
(Muahahahaha finally!) Risa watches silently from the seat behind Roland and the strange blond, and she barely even notes her hand softly clutching Connor's as they fly back towards the Junk Yard.
Yet her mind is far from silent.
She catches every glance between the two, and she finds herself captivated by the way they... well, outright compliment eachother. Whenever she shifts, Roland shifts as well, if only slightly. To Risa, it's almost... cute.
But she doesn't let her guard down around Roland. He proved to be enough of a danger when they had first met him.
Still, it amazes her the way he seems so.. careful around the girl that just blew up the Chop Shop and evidently rescued them from Happy Jack. She admits, she is rather grateful to be out of that place, but it just seems so.. odd, to her, the way Roland reacts around this girl that is not much older than herself.
Risa watches as the blond locks of that girl flit ever so slightly when she shifts, and her gaze slides to Roland, watching him with a tinge of amusement as he shifts to match her. Risa wonders if he's even aware he's doing it; she doubts he is by the concentrated look he has on his face as he flies the helicopter.
The sky is beginning to darken, yet the sun still shines ever so present in it's wake.
The flight is awkward, laced with silence, and they can feel every shift in the winds current.
To Risa, she feels like she's been boxed in.
Roland's voice cuts through the silence, and even though his voice is just above a whisper, everyone hears as he asks,"How long?" The blond looks over at him, and Risa notes that same gaze there: calm. She knows, however, that there is a lot more than to hat one gaze.
It takes a few seconds for the girl to reply,"If you don't count how many times I thought it over, or how long it took for me to actually leave, then I'd say about three hours." Roland smiles, and Risa finds something there in that smile... something that he's never shown before: True happiness.
Risa's watching them like a hawk, readying herself in case they decide to take them out, or Roland decides to crash the helicopter... either is a possibility.
Yet as she watches them interact-sees the way the girl's hand traces the outline of the shark on Roland's forearm, and how he doesn't seem to mind-she wonders if this is different.
"So your parents just let you walk out the door to come find me?" Roland asks, cutting the quiet again, and Risa notices something: neither of them seem to notice that her, Lev, and Connor are listening. It's like they're in their own little bubble..
The girl shrugs as she replies,"They knew I couldn't last long without you after you escaped; my dad said that I should do what I thought best." Roland nods, and soon asks another question,"How long did it take you to find out where I was?"
The girl scoffs this time, hiding a smile as she says,"Not long, it's not that hard to track someone when you set your mind to it." Roland grunts, amused as he replies,"I taught you that." The girl smiles this time, sliding over and leaning into his side as she replies softly,"I know."
Lev can barely hide the gagging noise, and Risa shoots him a look to shush him. He looks back with a blank facade.
She knows he's changed.
Connor squeezes her hand, breaking her out of the trance that is the couple in front of her. She looks up at him, and gives him a smile. Connor returns it, and she rests her head on his shoulder as she gazes ahead. (lmao PDA xD well in my story I can do PDA! So There! Take that you squirrels.)
Her ears tune in to the couple as they speak again this time more softer and sweeter to each other, and even if Roland does not take his hand off the steering device (O.o what do helicopters steer with? A stick or a steering wheel? T.T I'm confused!), he leans against her as well, and it almost seems as if he is holding her.
"So then, why did it take you so long to come get me?" Roland asks as the girl wraps her arms around him from the side. (rofl Christian side hug ;D) The girl sounds amused as she answered,"It may be easy to track someone to where they've been, but catching up is a hastle, especially when someone," she sounds annoyed, yet playful now,"gets on a plane."
Roland actually chuckles slightly, and the sound is interesting for Risa to hear; it's... really care-free. "It's also hard to keep away from the Juvie Cops," he replies, watching the sky before him as he flies. Risa figures they must be getting close, now.
The girl nods in agreement as she says,"They came after me after about a month, my parents couldn't keep the curious teachers away for long. Not to mention my friends; they were probably really suspicious after the first two weeks I was gone." Roland nods back, and all becomes silent again as they begin to see the edges of the Junk Yard, and the planes.
Risa wonders what will happen now.
Just as she wonders if this girl; this one girl, on her own, could change Roland into a better person.
Her mind is confused, she'll admit, but even as they come closer to their destination, and even as Connor kisses her temple softly, secretly, a thought stands present in her mind.
They didn't kill us, so maybe things will be alright.
Soooooo
