Chapter 15
Alicia's eyes fluttered open. She started gasping for air. Hiro, who was sleeping beside her suddenly woke up. The girl blinked a few times, confused and shocked to see him in the same bed as her. She backed away to the headboard.
"Hey…" Hiro called softly, holding out his right hand to her, "Are you okay?"
Alicia bit her lower lip. She hesitantly placed her hand into Hiro's extended one. The boy slowly pulled her closer to him. He explained to her that nothing happened. She rested her head on his chest. He rubbed her shoulder as comfort. She was still trembling in fear of something. Hiro looked over at the clock on the wall. It was noon. He had only a few hours left with her before having to turn her in.
"Are you hungry?" he asked her.
She slowly nodded. He smiled. He told her to take a bath while he went to prepare lunch. Alicia took one long bath, thinking about the dream she had had last night. She tried to remember what happened before she went to sleep but all was a blur to her. She shook her head rapidly. When she got out, a dress was on the bed for her to put on. It was Aunt Cass' dress when she was Alicia's age. It went all the way down to her legs. She made her way down the stairs. Hiro had succeeded into whipping up something for them to eat. She smiled weakly at him as gratitude.
"This is all I could prepare. I know you don't really like spaghetti…" he shrugged.
"This is fine… Thank you," she muttered, faintly blushing.
"After this, we can maybe go out and on a walk or something," Hiro suggested.
She shook her head. "I'm really sorry, but I don't really think I should go out. People hate me," she said sadly.
Hiro nodded. "I understand. We'll hang around in my room," he sighed.
They ate quietly after that. Hiro kept on taking glances at her swollen eyes but Alicia just stared at her food. She didn't want to say anything. She felt guilty for turning to Hiro instead of going back to her home.
"Did you…" she started, grabbing Hiro's attention, "Did you tell my family that I'm here?"
He shook his head and explained, "No. To be honest, I have to turn you in before sunset today."
Alicia sighed. "I see…" she drawled.
Alicia spent the rest of the day inside Hiro's room. She didn't want to go out because the people would start bashing on her. Baymax and Mochi the cat kept her company. Hiro helped out around the café like he would always do. Aunt Cass was having a hard time that day. Many of her customers questioned their generosity towards Alicia, saying that they shouldn't be helping out a criminal. Hiro sighed, ignoring the questions thrown at him. He was tired of explaining and he didn't really want anyone to know about her split personality.
"You should just dump that girl on the streets," a female customer said to Hiro as he served her the coffee she ordered.
Hiro flashed a small smile, controlling his anger. Carla barged in, all sweaty. She stomped her way towards where Hiro was standing. All eyes were on them.
"We need to talk…" she whispered to him.
Hiro blinked a few times. "S-Sure…" he replied.
They went up to his room. Alicia was sleeping with Mochi when Carla and Hiro came in. She sleepily sat up in Hiro's bed, looking towards the guest. She nodded to her.
"Have you been sleeping all day?" Hiro asked.
"Baymax ran out of batteries, there was no good movie to watch and Mochi was tired so…I just slept," the girl explained.
"Well, if you want, you can continue sleeping," Carla said with a smile.
Shaking her head, the girl replied, "No. It's inappropriate."
She went to freshen up and came back to listen to Carla's stories as well. Mochi hopped onto her lap as she sat beside Hiro.
"I was able to contact the two last men," Carla started.
"What did they say?" Hiro asked.
"They said that they will meet up with Alicia if she is behind bars," the older girl explained.
"Wait, what?" Alicia exclaimed, surprised.
"Fred has an idea on how to cure you without having to send you away," Hiro explained to the confused Alicia.
He started to explain what they had been planning since Alicia got arrested. The girl froze at their explanation. She didn't know how to respond to what they were about to do. Will the police be fine with this plan? Will her father and her brother accept this as well? Hiro and Carla glanced up at each other after his explanation. They waited for Alicia to say something, but she didn't.
"Anyway…" Carla drawled, turning to Hiro, "I've already written a letter to the chief about our plan, but I need you to send it to him."
"Sure. I'll send it this evening," Hiro said.
Alicia glanced up at the clock. There were approximately three hours before she had to go back to the police station. She had enough of burdening Hiro for one whole day, so she didn't protest at all. Hiro, on the other hand, didn't want to let her go. He loves her after all. He didn't want he to be locked in prison, away from him, but for the plan to proceed, he had to let her go. They were spending time in his room. Hiro told her everything that had happened since she was turned in. Alicia rested her head on his chest as she listened. She clasped her right hand with his left one. Hiro faintly blushed at her action. She was blushing too.
"Hiro..." Alicia whispered.
"Y-Yes?" Hiro replied, turning to look at her.
Her face was beat red and her breathing was ragged. Hiro was feeling the same. He unconsciously pinned her down onto the bed. Alicia looked away because she could feel Hiro's piercing stares on her. She was wearing his hoodie at the time, savouring his scent. He grabbed the zipper. Alicia's eyes glimmered with panic.
Gulping, Hiro asked, "M-May I?"
Biting her lower lip, she slowly nodded. Hiro took a deep breath before pulling the zipper down. Alicia took off the hoodie. Before he could proceed to the next step in his mind, Aunt Cass' shouts interrupted them.
"Hiro! Asch is here!" she called out.
Hiro sat up immediately. Alicia did the same. She rubbed her left arm, embarrassed. Hiro scratched the back of his neck, ashamed of what he was about to do. Asch came up to his room and found them in such an awkward state. He made an annoyed face.
"What were you trying to do with my sister, huh?" he demanded.
"He wasn't trying to do anything!" Alicia defended him.
Asch chuckled. The girl wrapped her arms around Hiro's torso. The boy panicked because his girlfriend's brother was watching them as she did. Asch shook his head. He extended his arms to the side. Alicia beamed happily. She rushed into his arms. He hugged his beloved sister.
"I missed you..." he whispered.
"I missed you too..." she sobbed.
Hiro smiled at the two. Asch spent some time with his sister. He told her about their family's condition after she had left.
"Mom has been better, Dad is as usual. They're glad to hear you're safe," Asch said.
"What about Kate and Joey?" Alicia asked.
"Kate's getting ready for the showcase at SFIT. Joey…well, he's Joey," her brother joked.
"Oh, she's registered?" Hiro asked.
"Yeah, she was so excited when Dad approved," Asch replied, sighing.
"That's great! I'm sure she'll be able to get in," the younger boy exclaimed.
Asch nodded and suddenly said, "Oh look at the time! One more hour! I better get going...see you!"
He gave out a smirk to Hiro who gulped. Once Asch was out of the room, he quickly turned to Alicia who was already blushing. He gulped at her action but then he abruptly smiled. Alicia was confused.
"Close you eyes...and don't open it no matter what," he whispered.
Alicia obeyed. She was taken by surprised when another lip crashed onto hers. She tried to pry away but his hands were at her waist and the back of her head. She gasped when she could feel his tongue on her neck. Her body started to shiver as the hand behind her back touched her stomach. Hiro bit her skin leaving a clear mark. Alicia shuddered. The boy backed away after that, blushing hard. He covered his face with the back of his left hand when his girlfriend blinked at him.
"I won't go all the way..." he muttered.
Alicia nodded, blushing furiously. "Hmm..."
"L-Let's go get something to eat..." he offered.
"Okay..." Alicia replied.
He held her hand as they went down to the café. All eyes were on them. The customers started to glare at Alicia. She hid behind Hiro who protectively pulled her to the kitchen. Some customers circled Aunt Cass immediately, asking her questions. Hiro shook his head at their nosiness.
"Sorry, you have to see that..." Hiro sighed.
Shaking her head, she grabbed Hiro's arm. "It's okay..." she kissed his cheek.
Hiro forced a smile. She faintly blushed at her actions. It has been a while since she acted so bold. Hiro placed a hand on her head. He pulled her to rest on his shoulder. Alicia sighed. It was almost time for her to go back.
"I have your favourite donut here!" Aunt Cass called.
The two pulled away immediately, both blushing furiously. Aunt Cass chuckled at their reactions. She handed the donut to Alicia. The girl started to eat it while her boyfriend went to make her some drinks.
"You are very precious to Hiro," Aunt Cass whispered to her, glancing up at Hiro, "He never stops thinking about you. I'm glad he has someone he loves."
Then, she went back to the counter. Hiro came back with a cup of milked coffee. He smiled at his girlfriend. Alicia stared at her drink.
"H-Hiro..." she suddenly called, catching his attention.
"What is it?" the boy asked.
"Ummm...uuhhh..." she rolled her eyes nervously. "L-Let's go all the way..."
"Alicia, I can wait you know. We're still underage..." Hiro explained.
"I love you! I may not make it back you know?" she half shouted.
Hiro gulped. The boy gave in and slowly nodded his head. Alicia heaved a sigh of relief. They went back to his room. They told Baymax to guard the entrance. Alicia sat in bed with Hiro. He kept on staring at her small body.
"Are you really sure?" Hiro asked again.
Alicia nodded once. "Yes. I want you to be my first..." she whispered.
Hiro took off his shirt. Alicia looked away, embarrassed. Hiro reached up for her dress. He helped her slipped it off. Now she was even redder. She covered her face with her hands because she knew Hiro was staring at her half naked body.
"Hey, look at me... Keep your gaze on my eyes..." he soothed her.
Alicia turned to look at Hiro. Their eyes met. He was blushing too. Keeping his eyes on hers, he gently laid her on the bed and started to kiss her lips. Alicia braced for what was coming next.
Alicia was locked in the prison. She was holding her Hiro plush like always. Hiro had escorted her up to the prison. She smiled weakly at her boyfriend. Then she went to lie on the bed. Hiro had requested to see the chief. The police showed him the way.
"What brings you here, Hiro?" the chief asked.
Hiro placed the letter on his table. "A letter that gives a brief explanation of our plan to help Alicia..."
The chief took if, nodding to Hiro. He told him he would contact him once he read the letter. Hiro nodded. He took his leave after that. He contacted his friends to inform them about the plan and letter. Gogo suggested that he should inform Alicia's family as well. The boy agreed. He made his way to the Koizumi's place.
"Ah, Hiro! Come on in," Mr. Koizumi greeted him.
Hiro smiled and nodded. He went to sit with his girlfriend's father in the living room. Mrs. Koizumi joined them after serving some tea for the three of them.
"So, what brings you here?" the mother asked.
"Umm…I'm here to explain about our plan for Alicia and the last two men," Hiro started.
The couple glanced up at each other before turning back to the boy. Hiro flashed a nervous smile. The two nodded to him. He started to explain their plan to Alicia's parents. Asch was secretly listening too, with Kate. The two looked at each other.
Meanwhile, Alicia was having a hard time sleeping. She kept on having vague dreams about the time that she and her twin sister were kidnapped. It was driving her crazy.
"H-Hiro…" she whispered sadly.
A policeman was looking after her. He hated the job because Alicia is Hiro's girlfriend. They were told to give her extra care because of that. Most of the police hated if they were put on duty to watch over her. Even the female ones would beg for any other task. Alicia didn't mind at all. She knew the whole San Fransokyo hated her because of what she had done.
"What do you want?" Ashley hissed.
"Oh, don't you worry… We just need you to follow us…" one of the men surrounding them said.
"A-Ashley…I'm scared…" Alicia whispered.
They were taken to a basement. Ashley kept on standing in front of Alicia as the men called their boss. She looked around for a way to escape. Suddenly, one of the men grabbed her and pried her away from Alicia. The man tied Ashley at a pole, a few metres away from Alicia. Alicia was dragged away into a room.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" Ashley shouted angrily.
"Ashley!" Alicia screamed.
"What are you going to do to her?!" the older twin demanded.
"Heh…don't worry. We're not allowed to hurt her," the man who was on the phone said to her.
Ashley growled angrily. She could hear her sister screaming. Alicia was taken into a dark room. She couldn't see anything. Suddenly a sting landed on her skin. She screamed in pain. She suddenly felt hands around her body.
"No!" she screamed.
The hands were trying to take off her clothes. Alicia tried to fight them but another sting landed onto her back. She cried out her sister's name. She could feel the cold air touching her bare skin. She shivered out of the cold and trembled in fear. Another sting landed on her body.
"Help!" her voice let out a scream.
"Alicia!" she could hear Ashley's voice.
"Ashley?" the younger twin whimpered.
"Alicia! Hang in there!" the older one shouted out for her.
"Ashley!" Alicia cried out loud.
"Proceed to the next plan," the man who was torturing Alicia said to another one of his gang members.
