First it was just a couple of candy bars.

Then our friends stuff.

And eventually money.

We stole pretty much everything we could get our hands on.

We don't really know what made us do it. Maybe it was the boring teachers in school that made us want to get some action. Maybe it was our incredible boring friends that always did the same things over and over again. Or perhapst it was that the town in general wasn't very fun. 

It all started when we were 14. Zayn just moved in nextdoor and not long after we started to hang out. He started in my class and we were inseparable. One saturday I was gonna sleep over at his and we went to the store to buy candy. I didn't bring enouthg money so Zayn took the candy and put it in his pockets and just walked out. I just stood there staring at where he had stood and didn't know what to do. I looked around me to see if anyone was there but it was empty. I took the candy off the shelves and put it in my pockets just like Zayn had done and walked out as well. I walked past the casheir.

"No candy today?" She said and smiled at me. I was terrified. I just shook my head and walked out. I remember Zayn sitting on a bench chewing on a candy bar. My heart was racing and he looked so calm. I remember walking up to him and he had the biggest smile on his face. He didn't say anything and neither did I. I sat down beside him and just looked at him. Admired the way he looked so calm. And that was also the first time thinking that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.

After a while we got bored with stealing candy so we moved on to other stuff. We were now almost 16 and Zayn had gotten really good at reading people. He could tell your whole life story by just looking at you. He knew almost everybody's code to their lockers and after school we would tell the teachers and our parents that we studied but we just walked around to see if anybody had anything good in thier lockers. Our school isn't very good so they never really looked into the stealing.

I remember one time when we were on a hill in the forrest where we hid everything and Zayn had just stolen a camera from a guy in our class. He sat against the tree and looked through the photos while I was standing and looking at the town. I sighed.

"What?" Zayn said from behind me.

"I just wanna get away from here." He looked at me for a while before he answered. Click. And the flash went off.

"Soon. I promise."

Four years later and we're still living in the same town doing the same thing. But we're better now, much better. But tonight just didn't go as planned. We have studied this house for quite a while. The progress is very long, first we get to know the people that live there. Get them to invite us over and we studie the house from there. We install small cameras all over and we write down every single thing that is necessary. All the technical stuff was my work and it was my job to find out if they had any alarms and such. 

I thought I had it all under control until we entered the house and the alarm went off. I thought I had cheked the entire house for a sign that they had an alarm but I couldn't find anything! The cops were there in just a couple of minutes but we got away but it was just a matter of seconds. We were really close to get caught tonight and Zayn was furious. When we got to our safe place up on the hill in the forrest he yelled at me like never before. 

"I thought you said you had everything under control Liam?" He yelled.

"I did! I mean, I thought I did." 

"You thought you did?! Liam we have to be sure when we do this!" I started to get angry as well. This was not my fault.

"I was sure okay! There was no fucking sign of any alarms in that house okay? So don't you dare blame this on me." I said and took a step towards him. 

"Then who's fault is it Liam? I'm not the one in charge of that stuff, you are!" 

"How stupid do you think I am Zayn? And how stupid are you to think that I would risk my life just for a couple of thousand pounds? I swear I didn't know, but if you don't believe me I could just leave." His eyes softened a bit but he didn't say anything. I waiting for him to tell me to stay but he didn't. I fought back the tears that was about to fall and turned around. But before I could take on step I felt his cold hand around my arm, stopping me from walking. I didn't turn around to face him and he did nothing to turn me around. We just stood there quietly. But after a minute of silence he moved his hand up to my neck and walked around me. 

Without saying enything he kissed me. Just like that. It wasn't until that kiss that I realized what my feelings towards Zayn really was. And this one kiss proved it all.

I put my hands on his hips and started to kiss back. We both pulled away after a while. We didn't say anything, we didn't need to. Because we both knew what the other felt.

"I promised you that we would get away from here. I intend to keep that promise Liam." I smiled at him.

"So where do you wanna go?" He asked me.

"It doesn't matter. As long as I'm with you, I'll call it home."
