'' it's my money, mine!, it doesn't matter how I got it '' She looked desperate, her eyes threatening to spill tears over. Twenty million dollars is a lot of money especially to poverty stricken Hannah and her family, with a mishap, she ends up living as someone else, with mirrors threatening to break at the littlest touch, wealth might just not be as rosy as Hannah thinks
'' you are getting thinner ''
Bella's lip thinned as she gives me a worried glance
'' its nothing new, let's just get this over with''
I was nervous but I try not to show it
Our eyes darts to the entrance before walking fast down the aisle with me right behind her, we have done this so many times that I would dare to say we are pretty professionals.
'' maybe take something actually edible this time ''
I whisper harshly to the girl beside me as she zips open her bag, her bangs over her face and a lost look in her eyes, her perfected look of innocence.
She grins at me and I sigh
'' The doll was perfect for lily ''
I shrug idly skimming the dairy products in front of me
'' well she was happy but only for a while before she was teeth deep into the doll because she was that hungry ''
There was a awkward pause making me feel bad for saying that
'' lets just steal something''
I smile trying to lighten the tension .
i was on lookout and Bella is the expert at swiping things, my eyes are trained on old Joe since there are no other customers in the store, we have been doing this for years and have never been caught but I feel that day might be coming soon, we should just live in the moment for now.
'' pack a lot of instant noodles ''
I made the mistake of taking my eyes off old Joe for a minute remembering the survival food of our house
'' hey!, what are you doing ''
The gruff voice resounded in the silent store startling us, Bella's hand is mid air from packing more noodles
'' shit ''
I cursed taking the bag from Bella and her hand sprinting out of the store before old Joe can catch us.
'' thieves, catch those fucking rats ''
He bellowed out getting the attention of others by the sidewalk, suddenly there are three men chasing us
I could feel my eyes sting from the tears, thinking of many scenarios that could happen, knowing how dangerous our neighbourhood is, we could get caught and killed or handed off to marc, the drug kingpin that takes in all criminals from the street, the best scenario is we get handed to the police, what the hell am I thinking, the best scenario is to not get caught
We rounded off to a corner immediately getting into the hidden passage and winding up at the other side, I knew that place would come in handy
'' fuck, that was fun ''
I panted heavily staring incredulously at Bella as she laughs at me, I didn't see anything fun in this, it was dangerous and terrifying
''I am sure you are very grateful that I had us wear a mask ''
I pointed out standing on my feet after catching my breath
'' yeah at least we got those noodles ''
Bella said
I look at the bulging bag feeling my mood brightened, the kids would be so happy
'' yeah let's get home ''
I moved to take the bag when something flew to my face blocking my sight and making me shriek, my hand went to my face thinking it is some kind of animal only to see its a paper, a newspaper to be exact
'' what the hell, you should have seen yourself ''
Bella laughs out coming up to my shoulder
'' fucking newspaper, I deadass thought it was an animal ''
I sigh in relief ready to throw the paper away
'' hey wait, there could be something informative here ''
Bella snatched the paper from me holding it up to her face like my dad does in the morning after a beer or two
'' can you even read ''
I joked sluggishly walking down the street with Bella behind me
'' what do you think of me, of course I can ''
She smiled though I can see her eyes flickering to an unrecognizable emotion
'' dude, can you really not read ''
I panted out
'' that's not the point, you are on the news bitch ''
She yelled making me rush to cover her mouth, those men could still be lurking around
'' what is it ''
I gritted out not trusting her to keep quiet
''Youareinthenewsbitch''
I quirk a brow before removing my hand
'' look ''
She shoved the paper to my face, I stilled looking at the picture of the girl who looks exactly like me, her eyes wide and expressive like mine are now, this couldn't be possibly real
My eyes went over to the captions
'' MISS AMELIA WHITE, THE DAUGHTER OF THE PRESTIGIOUS WHITE FAMILY STILL MISSING AFTER SIX MONTHS'
'' I think you have been found ''
Bella chirps behind me
