As fall had started to approach and the air got colder I started to wear more layers, but since I loved wearing skirts I just wore stockings on my legs. Even the coffee shop felt cold sometimes, work was as usual for a few weeks. I had solo missions, working on my own without Liam felt weird sometimes after all the joint missions. I had sent in a application for a collage, which when it returned I had gotten so lucky! I got accepted and I started collage in November, I had already told the news to Liam. The only problem was that it'd be in another town, but not to far away none the less, I had already started to pack up my things to move to the collage dorms.I was super exited about possibly making some new friends, I knew that I'd have a roommate. I hope she's nice! The collage that I applied for was a art school, since I had a ton of money from my real job I didn't need to worry about getting a high paying carrier. With my passion for art, I hope to get much better in the near future. Sally had already moved away for collage awhile ago, we stay in contact through our phones though. I was heading down to the coffee shop to start my shift, as I tied on my apron a girl that looked somewhat familiar walked in. "Hi, I'm Lilah and I'll be working with you from now on. Ashley." As she said my name her eyes narrowed into a glare."Do I know you or something?" I asked as she put on her apron. "Not yet, but Liam does." Thats just the thing that jogged my memory, she was the woman trying to seduce Liam a month or so ago. "I know who you are now, well what's your relation to Liam anyways?" Lilah snorted at my words. "Wouldn't you like to know." She was a serious jerk, as I was thinking of a hundred ways to end her life I saw Liam walk through the door. He was always the first costumer of the day, He smiled at me but when he saw Lilah his smile turned into a glare.Before I could ask Liam what he wanted Lilah jumped in front of me to ask him. "What can I get for you today handsome?" Liam gave her a disgusted look and turned towards me. "Babe, since when has Lilah been working here?" When Lilah heard him call me babe she exploded. "BABE?! YOU TWO ARE DATING? I was here first!" Liam sighed and clearly didn't wanna talk to her right now."I can date whoever I want to, what's it to you?" He retorted, Lilah's facial expressions were practically like a pleading dog. "I was a better choice! Even your parents thought so!" Liam was not having it right now. "We can talk about this another time, Ash can I get my usual." I nodded and got to work on it while Liam and Lilah glared at each other at the counter.I gave Liam his drink and put his money in the register, once Liam leaves I looked over at Lilah who was already staring at me. "Soooo, what's your history with Liam?" I asked as she rolled her eyes.
"He hasn't already told you? Well before his parents died they told us we were to get married when we turned 18, but after they died Liam didn't show any interest towards me at all. But the worst part is that he slowly started to hate me, why he hated me I may never know. He also didn't feel the need to go forward with what his parents wanted when we turned 18, at first I thought he might just need some time. Because of the 'incidents' during his teenage years. He had shut himself in his room for a long time after that, everything I did to try and help was rejected and returned in hatred. He blamed me for everything because I asked him to go out and get something for me from the store that night when he was abducted for 2 years. He never let me help at all..."
Tears started to stream down Lilah's face as her despair was visible, I didn't really know what to do since all of the information was new to me. Liam never opened up to me about anything of the sort, I went and got a tissue for Lilah. It was the best comfort I could give at the moment, although I had questions for Liam they would have to wait until we spoke again.After work had ended for the day I made sure to get Lilah's number, I had a feeling that she might not like me the best right now but maybe we could be friends. When I got home I received a call from my boss for a mission that I needed to show up for on location, it was a simple assassination job.When I showed up at the location with my katana I walked up to the house and looked through a window to see someone sitting on the couch watching tv, I smirked and walked up to the front door. I knocked on the door knowing that this was the easiest way to decapitate the target, when the door opened I raised my katana and with a quick slash they were decapitated.The blood spray was minimal, I walked inside the house to make sure there was no one else inside. When my search was completed I went home, I was feeling so tired right now. My bad habits of staying up late are getting to me, but I needed to make it home. Passing out right now could get me caught, when I got home I took a quick shower and went to bed.When I woke up the next day I remembered it was the weekend and was about to go back to sleep when I heard a sudden pounding on my door. I sprung up and ran to answer it, when the door opened I saw Liam standing there. He was out of breath and had clearly been running. "Can I..... Come in?" He said gasping for air, I stepped out of the way and let him in.When he caught his breath he started laughing at me. "What?" I asked as he slowed his laugh. "Your in your pj's still, its literally so late in the day already." Liam's laugh and smile was refreshing but not so much right now. "its only 10:00, besides I was trying to sleep in." Liam refrained from there and sat back on my couch, Liam looked at me like he had something to say."Look Ash, I know that Lilah told you her part of the story. Wanna hear mine?" Was Liam actually going to open up to me? "Yeah, that'd be helpful.""Well you see, I never actually hated her. The night I got abducted... lets just say those two years weren't fun at all, but what I can say is well. We were kidnapped by the same people around the same time. But instead of getting Jason in charge of me I got Violet, it was hell on earth. Granted when I got released the day I turned 18, I was not stable at all. I shut myself in my room to prevent any lash outs against Lilah, I couldn't hardly get my head on straight at all. I was terrified of almost everyone I came in contact with, a little pathetic I know. When I got a mysterious offer to become a spy I accepted as fast as possible, I ended up pushing people away so they would never know the truth about my job which got me the money to start up my business. The reason me and Lilah act the way we do now is because she's head over heels for me and I never felt that way for her at all."Liam's face was a mix of emotions, impossible to read right now. Although the fact that we were both in that mansion at around the same time was weird, I never knew anyone else had been abducted there. "Thats a lot, I don't know how to act right now..." Liam grabbed my shoulders and gently pulled me in for a kiss.He was blushing so hard right now, as he pulled away he stood up and looked at me. "If you don't know what to do just kiss me." His face was beet red right now, I got a call for a duo mission for me and Liam to do together. As the day faded into night time we headed out to complete it.The mission was a simple job where I took out everyone and Liam did his job as a spy, as we sneaked inside of a Wearhouse I noticed how high the security was. I was ready to kill on a drop of a hat, when we made it into the tech bay I quickly pulled out my katana when I saw everyone in the room. I was going for the playful method of killing, it was quick but the blood spray was all I cared for right now. The sound of my katana effortlessly gliding through every opponent filled the air, My blood lust was at a all time high tonight. When I was done the walls and the floor had blood on them, even I had a good bit of the blood spray on me.Liam quickly glided to the computer he need the data from as I stood behind him on watch for any more opponents, everything was silent except for Liam typing away on the computer. My head started aching, the sight of blood splattered walls was starting to look disturbing for some reason. My vision started to blur as I held my katana tightly behind Liam, I took a stance and started to swing at nothing. I was trying to stay awake but my vision was fading.I felt a tap on my shoulder from Liam, he had the documents we needed in his hands. We snuck our way back out of the building, when we got outside Liam asked me if I was doing ok to which I replied yes. My head was spinning my vision was fading, I was doing anything at this point to not pass out.Liam walked me home to my house before turning in the documents to the boss to make sure I was good, he knew I wasn't doing so good. As I stumbled inside I didn't have the energy to shower and just tossed down my katana and plopped on my bed, falling asleep instantly.The next morning I had never felt better, it was Sunday morning. I walked to the window and opened the blinds to let in the warm sun, I went and took a shower and cleaned up. The day was feeling great already, I made my breakfast up and ate at my table before heading into my room. It had been a few days since I had played my games, I fired up my computer.I turned on one of my favorite games, the joy of playing it again was unmistakable. I had online friends on this game which I loved talking to, as I played I lost track of time and soon it was already 2:00 pm. I decided to ignore the time and just play until bedtime.
