Me: Blah, I don't like this one. Too melodramatic if you ask me. But anyways, I own only Lexus and my characters. Thanks to the people who reviewed. :)

Happy reading!

I walked slowly though the streets to get back to my apartment. When I spotted the familiar building, I smiled. I quickened my pace and soon I was in the parking lot, to be greeted by my landlord, Miss Green. Miss Green was a young lady with honey blonde hair and icy blue eyes. She was a rather pretty lady.

"Hi Lexus!" She greeted. Did I mention that she was insanely perky? To the point that it kinda reminded me of my aunt.

"Hey Miss Green. I only come to feed Bling."

"Well, your rent is due." I mentally groaned. Of course she would ask. I dug into my pocket and handed her a bunch of bills.

"Thank you, Lexus."

"Yea, whatever." I muttered as I brushed by her and walked up the stairs to my apartment. I dug around in my pocket and pulled out my key. Before I opened the door, I glanced over my shoulder to see the black car from before place into the parking lot. Narrowing my eyes, I slipped silently inside my apartment and walked to my room. I smiled as I greeted Bling and gave her some food. I heard a knock on the door. I smirked. I knew that my auntie warned me to avoid people of suspect, so I opened my window and slid down the emergency exit. When my feet hit the pavement I smirked.

'God, I love my escape routes.' I thought and dashed for Miss Green's office.

"Lexus, what are you doing?"

"Look, I need you to feed Bling for me. She's my ferret and her cage is in my room. You can find the feed in the cupboard under her cage." She gave me a look and I made my eyes glitter like a sad puppy. My auntie told me that when ever I did that, I looked adorable, so that look was reserve for times when I REALLY wanted something. She sighed defeated.

"Alright Fine."

"Thank you!" Then I ran off down the road. I looked over my shoulder to see the men who were at my door run down the stairs and get into their car and start to chase me. I willed myself to run faster and I was eternally grateful that I had long legs. I could hear the car's engine behind me as I ran though the streets. I sharply turned and dove in one of the bushes in the park with a grunt. The car sped passed and I allowed myself to breath again.

"Fuck..." I hissed breathlessly.

"May I ask why you're in the bushes?" I looked to see Lysander standing on the other side of the bushes in his pose giving me an amused look. I blew a tuff of hair out of my face.

"I'm just enjoying how comfortable this bush is." I said flatly. I stood and tried to get out of the bush only to trip and fall over again.

"Oof!" I glared at the bush as Lysander chuckled.

"Perhaps you need some help." He said offering a hand. I looked at the hand and took it. He pulled me to my feet and I brushed myself off.

"So why were you in the bush?" I rubbed my neck sheepishly.

"Well, heh, it was a funny story behind that."

"Enlighten me if you please." I sheepishly told him about my lovely life for the last few days.

"So men were chasing you?" I nodded with my hands on my hips.

"It was a part of my father's elaborate plan to try and find me again."

"Wow, I was not aware." I waved my hand.

"It's fine, Castiel and Iris are really the only ones who know about it."

"Oh. Well, I was headed for the clothing shop, would you like to accompany me?" I smiled.

"Sure, I would like that." Lysander offer me his arm and I chuckled as I looped my arm in his. We walked to the small shop on the other side of town that his brother ran. Along the way, Lysander asked some questions about me and Castiel.

"It's not really big yet, he mostly is becoming a close friend." Lysander chuckled.

"Yes, well, he used to talk endlessly about you." I giggled.

"That's kind of cute." He stopped and looked at me.

"I know that this probably isn't my place, but I would prefer to not see Castiel get hurt again."

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused and Lysander looked away.

"I think that Castiel should explain about it." I stepped away from Lysander and he looked at me.

"I think I should be going, thanks for listening, Lysander." I smiled and he nodded. I turned and walked off, wondering what Lysander meant.

Castiel had been hanging around her aunt's house, watching the sky as the setting sun painted the sky bright colors. He spotted Lexus walking slowly up to him.

"That took you a while. Your aunt was thinking of calling the cops." Lexus snorted.

"My aunt's just being paranoid. I'm fine." That was when Castiel took notice to the minor cuts on her arms. He took her arm and took a closer look at them.

"How did you get these?"

"It's nothing." Castiel locked his eyes with hers.

"Lexus, you can tell me." She yanked her arm away from him.

"I handled it, and what about you?" Castiel gave her a funny look.

"What are you talking about?" She glared at him.

"Apparently I wasn't the only one keeping secrets." Castiel frowned, his eyes widening.

"H-How-?"

"It doesn't matter how I found out." She said sharply.

"All I know is that you kept telling me that you were tried of all the secrets I was keeping and yet you were keeping secrets yourself." She looked like she was ready to break down, but she regained her composure.

"I think it's time you left." She said evenly. Castiel didn't comment about the coldness in her voice, though her tone was even. Castiel shrugged and walked back to his bike that was waiting. Lexus stood on the doorstep with her fists clenched. Castiel sat on his bike for a moment when he called her name.

"I didn't tell you because I am still healing. To be honest, I didn't want to believe I was ready." He pulled his helmet on, revved his bike and left the driveway. Lexus swallowed and stood frozen in her spot. The girl looked up at the sky. Though it was beautiful, she couldn't enjoy it. She shut her eyes as tears stung at them. She entered the house and locked herself in her old room and silently wept with her back against the door.

'Damn.'
