He looks down at me and a little smile turns the corners of his lips up.
"Everyone here knows how to hold a gun, correct?" the lady asks, bored.
"God bless it, I forgot how to," Lincoln taps his head. She spends five minutes showing him something he already knows how to do before we're released into the actual arena.
"Five minutes to get ready, turn on your lasers and vests. An announcement will sound when it's time," she closes the door behind us and the place is just hardly lit up with fluorescent-like lights.
The guys run off and Grey turns to me.
"Don't target me," I warn.
"I'm not going easy on you," he raises an eyebrow.
"That's not what I said. I said don't target me," I poke his chest twice. He grips onto my hand and pulls me to him, kissing me slowly.
"It could've been me and you Lilah. We could've been a team," he mumbles in between kisses.
"Then I would carry our team the whole time," I tease and the corner of his lips rise. I reach around and pat his butt a couple of times.
"I'll see you on the flip side Sugar," I smile.
"I love you," he kisses me one last time and my heart flutters out of my chest. I hold back from squealing but I feel my body shimmer in happiness.
"I loveyou," I reply and start to walk away.
"Grey, you know what? You better take it a little bit easy on me, I can't even walk fast," I raise my finger at him.
"Go fuckin' hide somewhere," he shoos me away and I scrunch my nose at him to which he mimics.

"Oh my gosh," Abby whispers frantically. I think we're in a real warzone. I peek from behind our small hiding space and the sounds of the guys' laser guns going off is a nonstop ringing in my ears. And some shouting.
"Why couldn't we have gone bowling or something?!" I whisper shout.
"We're gonna get found soon," she winces. Our hiding spot isn't the greatest ever. Footsteps pound the floor near us and in less than a second, Oakee is throwing himself between Abby and me.
"They're like animals. I need protection from y'all," he lays his head on my shoulder.
"Pew pew motherfuckers," Theo suddenly appears in front of the three of us and we all try to scatter. He shoots Oaklee immediately and tries to get Abby but she's able to run away quickly.
"Oh, I'm sorry Azale-" he pauses when suddenly his vest turns red and then his gun shuts off. His mouth drops open.
"Did I kill you?!" I gasp, holding my heart. Why am I feeling bad? He was about to murder me cold-blooded.
I'm an actual bad-butt.
I don't even know how to use the gun and I killed him? Wasn't I just standing there?
"Only I can shoot her, fucker," Grey glares at Theo and my mouth drops open.
"You killed me?!"
"You killed him?!"
I thought I did. Gosh dang it.
Theo stomps away unhappily. Then Grey sets his sights on me. I poke out my bottom lip.
