Chapter 2

The moment the cupboard opened, I was determined to lock this bastard in there.

But to my surprise, he also got in and closed the door from inside.

"What are you doing-" He placed his index finger on his lips to keep my mouth shut.

He leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Another noise, and we are dead meat." I kept quiet, but my heart continued pounding like hell. Can't blame it for this was the first time that someone held me this way.

"Where the hell did he run off to? Find him."

A strong and damn scary voice reached our ears. The noise of breaking bottles and other things falling to the ground was also heard from across the room.

"What’s happening?" I asked.

"Relax lady, I will explain everything later, Let's just wait for them to leave" He whispered very quietly.

The sound of footsteps disappearing made us believe that whoever was here has left.

Still, to be safe he placed his ear on the door to make sure they had really gone.

The door swung open suddenly and we fell right away, hitting our heads on the hard surface of the ground.

I sneezed because there was so much dust everywhere then heard him snickering.

I suddenly felt pain shooting through my head and groaned.

"Why the hell did I tag along with you? Ouch, that hurt!" I rubbed my head, frowning again in annoyance.

"You know what? You should lose some weight, you are crushing me to death!" This made me realize that I was sitting on his stomach.

"Rude. I am not heavy at all. I only weigh 39!" I said, while getting up.

"Really? Then there was something wrong with that weighing machine because you weigh as much as a fat elephant!" He continues, making me even angrier.

"How dare you say that!" I landed a punch over his stupid face. Then sighed in annoyance. "And stop trying to dodge my question, what the heck did you do?" I couldn't be fooled so easily, and it was time for him to understand that.

"Okay, okay, I’ll tell you, but first let's go somewhere else." He got up and again walked towards the cupboard.

"Into the cupboard again? Are you serious?" I let out a slight snort.

"Yea baby." He kicked the cupboard making it open up.

What? B-baby? Is this how common people address other girls?

"Let's go." He pulled me inside, and locked both of the doors from inside.

All we could see was darkness, until he shook his smartphone and the flashlight showed a deep stairway in front of us leading to nowhere.

We carefully walked down the stairs and reached another door.

The street boy pulled a golden key out of nowhere, but instead of putting it in the keyhole, he placed it over the perfectly curved key design on the door, making it open with a creak.

Jumping in surprise, I gave him an excited yet confused look. A mysterious smile made its way to his lips. 

He walked inside and I followed him to a pink table in the room. The only color in the place was pink, pink curtains, pink wall, pink ceiling...

Why the hell is everything colored freaking pink?

He ran his hands through his dirty brown hair while looking at me.

"It's my grandma's room." He said, as if knowing what was going on in my mind.

Why in the world was your grandma living inside a cupboard?

Everything started getting ridiculously weird since the moment I ran away from my house.

He put his phone on the table then pulled out a chair telling me to sit.

He sat on the other chair across from me, I folded my hands in front of my chest as I watched him.

"It's explanation time and don't you dare try to avoid my questions this time." I say, looking straight into his eyes.

"Well, you also dodged my question when I asked, why you were running like a mad woman." He smirked, his mysterious green eyes drilling into my brown ones. 

"See, we're both hiding our reasons because we know that there's no need to explain it to a stranger," He stated.

He was right, but the feeling to know about why made my heart sink to my stomach. True he's just a stranger, but telling him won't be a danger.

"Fine, I promise to tell you everything, but you have to do the same. Now, get started already." Knowing things were getting interesting, I placed my hands on the table to hear the secret he was hiding.
