Undercover

I rubbed my head as I woke up. I tried to move my leg but it was chained to the ground. Where was I? I looked down at the concrete floor. I pushed myself up to sit and looked around in the dark room. I reached over to find Jack but my hand hit the cold ground. I had gotten used to sleeping next to the boy.

"Jack," I yelled out into the dark room.

"Alex, I'm scared," I heard Jack whimper.

"Where are you?"

"I can't tell, I've been pacing around a small room."

He could move around, that meant he wasn't chained to the ground. It's probably because the only bad thing he had done was follow me. I still didn't understand why he decided to follow me. I didn't understand why he let me lead him away from everything he's ever known and take him into the outside world.

I tried to think back to before we ran away. It was hard because all of my thoughts were taken up by Jack. His hair, his face, his smell. I wanted to hate all of it but it made me so happy. I knew I wouldn't sleep tonight without him next to me. Even on the hard sticks his soft snores and warm body were able to pull me into a deep sleep.

"Alex, I'm afraid," I heard Jack whimper.

"I am too," I bit my tongue there.

"Can you find your way over here and cuddle me?"

"I'm chained down Jack, is there any way you can come over here?"

"Let me see."

I heard footsteps in the room next to me, I could practically hear his hand against the wall, desperately trying to find me. I managed to pull myself so I was standing. Due to my training I was able to see we were in a cell, separated only partially by a wall. I pulled myself as far as I could towards the opening. I could see the raven haired boy stumbling, pressed up against the wall.

"Come towards my voice Jay, you're close," I encouraged him.

"How can you see me," he questioned, fear in his voice.

"This was part of my training, my body adapted. Just reach out, you'll touch my hand," I told him.

I felt his callused fingers hesitantly brush against my hand, electricity running through my hand. I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards me. He fell into me, making him shorter than I. I could barely see his dark brown eyes in the darkness. He softened, crying into me as I pulled him back into my section.

I walked forward, him in my arms. I didn't see the mattress on the floor causing us to fall, him on top of me. In other circumstances I would think differently of this situation. I instead tightened my grip around the boy and let him cry into me. I was almost reduced to tears, death was imminent.

"Alex, are we going to die," he whispered.

"I think we are. I think they found us," I whispered back.

"Would you think differently of me if I admitted something or rather did something?"

"Jack, you're laying on top of me crying as we both await the cold face of Isobel or Peter to tell us how many days we have left. There is nothing that would make me think differently of you."

"Lex, I can't think of a better way to say this so I'm going to just say it. I said I'd run away with you because I wanted to impress you."

I stared at him, knowing he couldn't see the emotion in my hazel eyes. I ran a hand through his raven locks. I was trying to be careful of the tangles and matted parts that had occurred due to little care. I was happy but I wasn't sure how to voice this. Should I give in to my desires that I'd been forced to ignore since I met Cati? The desires I was only allowed to show towards Rian but would never feel for him.

"I feel stupid, say something Alex," he whispered.

I could feel his breath dangerously close to my lips. Would it really be a bad thing for me to give in? It would be my last chance to be happy, I deserved at least that right? I placed my hand carefully on the back of his neck. I pressed my lips to his and it felt so right.

I saw a light flash over our bodies that pressed flush together. My eyes were closed but it was bright against the stark darkness. I didn't want to pull away from him, for the first time I was actually happy. I pressed my other hand to his lower back, pressing the shocked boy closer to me.

"Well Rian, do you believe us now? You're fiancée ran away from you, from us. You should've done your job while you had the chance," I heard Peter, my father, bark.

"I didn't want to believe it, I love him Peter," Rian said, almost in tears.

Jack pulled away to see the face of our soon to be killer. He pushed himself off of me, I was sure a blush had taken over his cheeks. To think I was part of the reason for that blush. I watched as the both left, leaving me and my friend alone in the dark.

"What was that Alex," he asked.

"The kiss? It was to show you that I felt the same. I want to spend what time I have left, even if only a little, with you. I want you Jay. You are my Cati, you are my everything," I whispered.

He snuggled next to me, I felt a kiss on my neck and couldn't help but smile. This boy, this stupid boy, made me feel as if I were a teenaged girl. And I couldn't be happier about that.

-------------------

I shot up out of my sleep. There had been no voice. Everything that happened hadn't. I looked over at the sleeping raven haired boy next to me, softly snoring away. We were still in the woods, we were still safe. They were still looking for us. I moved the raven bangs out of the sleeping boys face and kissed his forehead softly.

"Why am I falling for you," I barely whispered.

Notes

So, in case this is confusing, the past two chapters were a dream and they've been showing Alex a lot. They have not been found, they have not admitted any feelings and they are not at risk of getting caught. All of it was a hyper realistic dream and a dream within a dream (cause why not have some Inception shit in this). I really hope I didn't confuse anyone too much.
