Vanessa- (2 weeks later)

Today is Elliot's last day in Spain & I'm not too happy about him leaving. I love him so much & I wish he'd stay a bit longer. He suggested to go to the mall today & we are on our way to the mall with Leo. Sage isn't a big fan of shopping so he stayed home.

The driver parks the car & we step out, walking inside.

"I want to go home." Leo huffs & I slap his head, playfully.

"Damn, we just got here." Elliot chuckles & I nod.

"My social battery ran out." I laugh. Very relatable. I lock my arms with his & smile.

"I'll get you ice cream." I suggest & he hides his smile.

"Deal?" He holds his pinky & I laugh. Copycat.

"Deal." I nod, interlocking my pinky with his.

...

We have been at the mall for 2 hours & my legs are about to give out. Leo is tired & so am I. Elliot has shopped in every store. I've also got some things for Apollo & Milo. Leo hasn't really bought anything but a few t-shirts.

"Elliot, I'm hungry & tired." I say, sighing & Leo nods. I stand against the wall & Leo rests his head on my shoulder, shutting his eyes.

"This is why I shop online." Leo says & I nod in agreement.

"Okay okay, I'm done. Lets get something to eat." I nod & Leo huffs. I grab his arm, dragging him to the food court. My eyes widen at the packed food court. I spot an empty table & point. We rush over to the empty table & sit down, Elliot sits his bags on the floor.

"What do you guys want to eat?" Elliot asks & I shrug.

"Anything." Leo says & Elliot laughs, nodding. He walks away & gets in line. I put my head down & Leo rests his head on my back.

"I want 2 tubs of ice cream because I'm never doing this again." Leo slaps the back of my head & I kick his leg. I feel someone burning holes through my head & I lift my head up, looking around.

"No, put your head back down I was comfortable." He whines & I roll my eyes.

"Don't you feel someone staring at us?" I ask & Leo stares at me in confusion.

"No, why?" He raises an eyebrow & begins looking around.

"Never mind, maybe I'm paranoid." I say. I look over my shoulder & make eye contact with a middle aged man. He is directly staring at me. I notice the corner of his lips begin to lift. I  cringe & turn around.

"You sure?" Leo asks & I shake my head.

"There's a man staring at me weirdly. Don't turn around." I whisper & he turns around anyway. I punch his leg & he winces.

"Ow." He rubs his leg & glares at me, flicking my forehead.

"Why did you turn around?!" I whisper yell at him.

"There's no one staring at you." He chuckles & I turn around. The man that was staring at is gone. Maybe he mistaken me someone else. Elliot approaches us with 3 bags of food & I smile.
