Chapter Two

I walked out of the bakery shop. I smell the cake one more time and gosh, it really smells delicious. I can't wait for eating. Valex gives me some money to buy food. Thank god or not, I'll starving here. I on my way to my apartment. Suddenly, I bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry." that person said and walked away. I shrugged my shoulder and my eyes landed on something on the ground. I frowned and kneel down. It was Pendrive. I think it belongs to that person. But, he was already gone. I take it and should I keep it or send it to the police? Oh god, let just keep it. I put it in my bag and walked away. Suddenly, Valex calls me.

"What?"

"Hey, do you want to hang out with me?" Valex asks, I frowned.

"Why so sudden?" I ask. Valex chuckle.

"I think that you might get bored with yourself. So, why not having a sibling's time?" Valex said. I think about it for a while. Well, if I were at home, there's nothing I can do though.

"Okay. Where?"

"Great! At the club." said Valex. I sigh.

"Is there any place where we can hang out?"

"Well, you want where?" Valex asks. I know he won't want to force me because I'm not a clubbing person but when I think it again, having fun for a while is not bad, right?

"It okay. Let's just go to the club."

"Woah. Okay." said Valex.

We hang up. I continue walking to the club.

~~

I look around and a lot of people dancing and drinking. I'm not really a social person. I try to find Valex and it hard for me to find him. There's a lot of people.

"Leah!" a voice calling me and there he is. I walking toward him and hand him the cake. I know it his favorite. His sparkling and take it.

"Thank you!" said Valex.

I smirked and sit beside him.

"Actually it was for me to eat at home but since you will treat me today, so why not?" he chuckle and patted my head.

"I will." said Valex.

"Who is this, Val?" a voice interrupting us. I look in front of me and it was a guy with blonde hair. I raised my eyebrows.

"Who is this?" I ask Valex.

That guy looks at me with curiosity. It makes me uneasy. I scooting a bit to Valex. I think he notices my act. He stops eating and tapped my laps.

"This is Richard. My friend." said Valex. I mouthed 'o'.

"Woah, I don't know you have a girlfriend, Val." said Richard. Valex face-palmed. He scoffed and push my head and I glare at him.

"She? My girlfriend? That was a funny thing I ever heard." said Valex. I rolled my eyes. "She's my little sister." added Valex.

Richard jaw dropped.

"She? Wow, I don't know you have a little sister." said Richard. Valex shrugged his shoulder.

"You don't ask." said Valex, he continues to eat.

Richard looked at me up and down.

"What's your name?" Richard ask.

"Leah." I answered simply. He nods and gives me a drink.

I stare at that drink. He looks at me with confusion. I look at him and that drink. He raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Richard ask. I shake my head and push the drink.

"I don't drink." Valex chuckle.

"You don't have to give her a drink, Richard. My sister wouldn't drink it." said Valex.

"Drink a little wouldn't hurt." said Richard.

"No thanks."

"Come on sis. Just a little." said Valex.

I sigh and give up. I hold the cup and slowly bring it to my lips. The smell of it already hit my nose. Ughh, so smell. I glance at them and they waiting for me. I drink it.

"How was it?" Richard ask. I look at them with surprise.

"Not bad." Valex and Richard laughed at my comments.

"Just rink. I will pay it for you." said Valex. I nod. Usually, people said a big brother has to take care of his little sister but we got the opposite of it. Valex takes care of me but about the social thing, we must ask him first. He always on if it was a good thing.

"Don't drink too much. You might get drunk and your apartment is far from here, you know that right?" Valex warns me. I nod.

~~

"Valexino!" I hugged him and him sigh.

"I told you already. Do not drink too much." said Valex. But everything is blurry to me. I felt like I'm not in the right mind.

"Valexino?" Richard laughed. Valex smacked his head.

"Don't laugh!" said Valex.

"But, why your name Valexino?" Ricard ask.

"She always makes a fake name with my real name." said Valex.

I giggles and jump.

"Let's party!" I yell. I can see they sigh. I about to walk but I felt weak. Something wants to come out from my mouth.

"Leah? Are...Are you okay?" Valex ask. I pressed my hand on my mouth as I felt it getting harder.

"Don't tell me..." Valex slowly approached me bt too late.

"Arghhh! Leah!" Valex and Richard yell. I already vomit. I just chuckle and fall on the couch as I felt my eyes are getting heavy. I can't hold it anymore so I let it be.

This is my first time getting drunk. In my whole life, I never got drunk because I'm not a social person. I'm very a lonely person but if someone talks to me, I can reply back but it just that...it will be awkward for me.

~~

I wake up as I felt something wet on my forehead I leaned my hand to touch it. I think I have a headache. I sit up and look around the room. Something is not right here. My apartment's color is not brown. It's grey. Where am I? As I felt worried and panic, I can't control my breath. I always like that.

I'm scared to be alone in a stranger's place. Where is Valex? I get out of bed and my legs are trembling. The door suddenly opens and it makes me sit at the bed.

"I told you to get a strawberry. Not chocolate." said Valex. He and Richard come in with a bag of plastic.

"I forgot okay. " Richard rolled his eyes.

"Leah doesn't like chocolate." said Valex. I think they didn't realize I already wake up.

"Fine then. I'm wrong." Richard said. He raised his hands like a criminal.

Valex shakes his head and landed his eyes on me. He gasps and rushes to me.

"Are you okay?" Valex ask. He checks my temperature. I remove his hand and smile.

"I'm just fine." he sighs in relief. Richard hand me the plastic.

"We bought you ice cream. It just that, the flavor is chocolate." said Richard in guilty.

"It okay." I take it. I lifted my gaze to Valex and Richard who still arguing about the ice cream.

"Where are we?" they look at me.

"This is not my apartment." they change the look. Valex let out a heavy sigh and kneel down.

"This is my secret from you and our parents. I'm scared if you guys call me a criminal and a bad guy. But trust me, we didn't kill anyone without any reasons and we're good actually." said Valex. I frowned.

I'm really confused about what he said. Why did he say that so suddenly?

"What you mean?" I ask. He sighs again and locks his eyes on me.

"I'm working for a dangerous criminal, Liam. And we' at his house."
