Zara's pov ( i can make outfits again! thanks Shoplook!)

Erik and me had been walking forever now. At least it had felt like it. My knee was throbbing. My limping was way more visible to the eye now.

"How much longer?" I asked exhausted. He looked at me and examined me quickly. He reached his hand inside his pocket and pulled out a phone. My mouth fell open. "You had that the entire time?!" i yelled.

"Yeah." he said simply. He tilted his head slightly to the side. "why?"

"I could have called Laurent! He could've picked us up!" I yelled. His ear phone popped into my mind. "We could've skipped this whole situation!"

"You never know. He could also be a spy." he said looking at his phone and then putting it in his pockets again.

"you're kidding." I said. He shook his head.

"I'm here to save and bring you back home. If this Laurent guy caused you a problem, consider him gone." he said. My eyes widened in fear.

"Y-you wouldn't." I stuttered. He looked at me with a very slight glare.

"oh I would. Don't think I won't." he said.

We continued walking in silence. finally we got to Paris but we were still at least a 30 minute walk away and I was a suspect for a murder. I grabbed Erik's arm and dragged him into the shadows of the alleys.

"what are you doing?" he asked. I shushed him.

"I'm a suspect for a murder here." I whispered. his eyes widened.

"what the hell did you do?"he whispered.

"I didn't do anything. Laurent assassinated my Ex Adam because he was cheating on me. I haven't gone home yet." I said. He groaned.

"how are we gonna get you back now?" he asked. I smirked and looked up. He looked at me confused.

"In Paris, Laurent and Me always get around by jumping buildings." I said looking at him. He looked terrified. I laughed out loud. "come on. It's not as hard as you think." I smiled. I grabbed the ladder from above me and pulled it down.

When I started climbing I looked behind me to see Erik not climbing yet. I sighed.

"what are you waiting for?" I asked. He looked up at me and glared.

"I'm not like you. I won't be able to." he said. I scoffed.

"The buildings here aren't even far apart. some I might even be able to step over without jumping. Now get your Butt up here before I make you come up here!" I yelled. He mumbled something under his breath that I didn't hear and started climbing.

I climbed the rest of the way up and waited patiently for Erik. He got up quite quick and sat down panting.

"ready? we have a bit to jump." I said. He looked at me like I was insane.

"you're injured though." he said. He looked at me concerned. I put my hands on my hips.

"I've been doing this since I was around 19. I can do it now." I said. Erik stood up. he brushed off his jeans.

"where to?" he asked. I smirked.

I just started running and after a few building jumps I looked behind myself and Erik was trailing behind me. It took us awhile but I finally ended up right next to the Warehouse. Erik was a bit away so I turned around and waited for him.

When he caught up he was panting out of breath. I laughed. He looked at me confused bent over with his hands on his knees.

"that was awesome!" I said. I was also slightly out of breath. It had been awhile since I had gone Building jumping. Erik looked around and looked at the warehouse.

"you live there?" he asked standing up straighter and pointing at it. He looked at me confused.

"Yeah. Why? It's not the warehouse you though I lived in?" i asked smirking. he shook his head.

"it just looks uncomfortable." he said. I glared at him. He put his hands up. "sorry." he murmured quietly.

I sighed. "shall we go inside and introduce you to Laurent?" I asked. He nodded unsure.

I jumped from the building and once I hit the floor I rolled nailing my landing. I stood up. "come on!" I said. he looked between me and the floor. 

"are you sure?" he asked. I groaned in frustration. 

"you know what, you wait up there and complain like a 6 year old. I'll be back." I said. I turned around and started walking to the warehouse. I heard a thud behind me and smirked. When I turned around Erik was standing there.

"ow." he said. He looked at me. "how are you not in pain?" he asked.

"I am. I've just trained my mind to ignore it." I said smiling. He looked at me in shock and then shook his head.

"Kurt must've trained you well." he said.

"actually, I mostly trained myself. Now, do you want to meet Laurent or no?" I asked.

"do I actually have a choice?" he murmured. I laughed and grabbed his arm dragging him.

"nope!" I said popping the P.

Erik's pov

I didn't want to meet this Laurent. Not at the slightest but I would for Zara. She looked at me and smiled. My heart thrummed in my chest and i felt goosebumps spread throughout me.

This was not okay. I could not fall for her, and she already has a boyfriend. I shook my head. she grabbed my arm and we ran into the warehouse.

At first I didn't see anyone but then I saw a figure in the darkness.

Zara's pov

"Laurent!" I yelled as we entered. I let go of Erik's arm. I looked around but didn't see him anywhere. When I looked to the side slightly I saw a figure in the shadows. "Laurent?" I asked.

They came running at me and from the corner of my eye I saw Erik tense up. Laurent emerged from the darkness and quickly wrapped his arms around me tightly. My arms instinctively wrapped back around him. He cried into my shoulder.

"where were you?" he sobbed.

"it's okay. Erik saved me." I said. He sniffed and lifted his head.

"Erik?" he asked confused. I turned my head to Erik. Laurent looked over. Laurent let go of me and walked in front of Erik. I looked between the two of them nervous. 'Please don't beat the crap out of each other please.' i thought.

Laurent stuck out his hand for Erik to shake. Erik looked at his hand shocked but he took his hand and shook it.

"thank you for bringing her back." he said. Erik nodded and added a small smile. Laurent let go of his hand and he walked back over to me and kissed me suddenly. Of course I kissed back. When we had to stop for air I discretely looked over to Erik. He was facing away with tears streaming down his face.
