Bailey

A couple days after fall break, our school was going to watch the 3rd swim match of the school year. Sam, Reggie, and I are in the bleachers with the rest of the student body.  Swimming is kind of big deal in Juniper. They even brought  the younger kids to see it. This year the team is at its strongest and with Jonnie leading the team they are expected to win the conference. 

"Its craazy how fit Jonnie is... Sometimes i forget..." Sam says as she takes pictures on her phone. Reggie starts cracking up. 

"You acting like he ain't your man all ready. Stop being thirsty!" 

"I can be thirsty with my own boyfriend as much as I want thank ya very much!" Sam sassily says. "I need more getting off material anyways." I nearly choke on my water. Who just says those things?! 

Reggie pats my back as she gives Sam an evil glare. "You can't show him your freaky side like that! He wasn't ready!" 

" I don't think i would have ever been ready for that." I mutter. But she is so sweet! Whyyyyyyyyy!?

The buzzer goes off and the swimmers are going. Everyone starts screaming and standing up watching them go. Jonnie's reaction time was spot on and he is gliding through the water. 

Reggie and Sam are screaming on the top of their lungs. Jonnie touches first and someone from our team finishing second. Jonnie high fives his team mate and gets out of the water. 

"Oh my god." says Sam who immediately turns pail. "Reggie." Reggie and I look where Sam is looking. 

"Shit." Reggie says. Victor, Tiago and R.Crew are rolling into the meet. The people in the audience knows exactly who they are and there was a wave of anxiety that went through the whole facility. Some people even left. 

"Do you know why they are here?" Whispers Sam. Reggie shakes her head. I watch Jonnie's reaction when he saw R.Crew rolling in. His face looks confused and then looks out in the crowd looking for us. 

"Im going to see whats going on." Reggie says as she slowly gets up. I grab her arm. 

"I don't like this." I say to her. She kisses the side of my face. 

"I know." She heads down and joins R.Crew. 

The next round of swimmers go. A man gets up and stands in front of everyone. 

"Oh my god. Its Victor." Sam says. Victor pulls out a gun and shoots it in the air 3 times. Everyone screams and duck. I pull Sam down. The swimmers stop in the middle of the race. Everyone was dead quiet. I look to see where Reggie is and she is sitting next to her brother trying to stay calm. 

" We have been trying to get Juniper's attention for a while now and ya'll think you can just shove us to the side and forget we exist. River siders are tired of being treated like second class citizens!" River siders started coming in from all angles locking the door behind them. 

"This isn't good." I mutter. 

"The cops last month shed some riverside blood..." A couple men hold random hand guns and points them at the crowd. "We are going to Shed some Juniper blood." 

Reggie screams, "EVERYBODY RUN!" Tiago covers her mouth and carries her away. WE all duck as bullets go off. People are screaming and running in all directions. 

"Oh my god." Sobs Sam who is terrified out of her mind. 

" I have to find Reggie." I tell her. "Stay here." She nods. I crawl to the ground trying to stay low. 

"BAILEY!" I hear out in the hallway. I run in there and before me was Victor, Tiago, and Reggie. Reggie had a knife up to her throat. 

"So you the one who been messing with my girl.." Victor says up to me. He is absolutely a Psychopath. "Bailey.... Why have heard that name before?" Some member of R.Crew grab me and hold me from moving. Victor walks up to me and studies my face. 

"Holy... Shit.." Victor says in shock. He points a knife at me. "You are Chief Anderson's kid." I start to try to break free. They held me tighter. "I overheard him having a son by the name of bailey. And your face seals the deal. You look just like him." Reggie starts squirming to try to get out of her brother's arms. 

"Baby its okay don't move." I say to her. Victor eyebrows raise. 

"Baby?" He stabs my thigh with his knife. 

"AH FUCK!" I yell in pain. Reggie is freaking out now. Tiago's knife is cutting her neck since she is squirming to hard. I try to fall on my knees but the guys keep me up. 

"I never agreed with what my father did..." I get out. "Neither did my mom, but yet you punish us over and over for what he did."

"I told your Father on the day we killed him that I will make the Anderson family pay in his stead. But you had to add a cherry on top by fucking my girl."

"She isn't yours!" I yell back. 

"Oh really? I think I put about 50 hickies to prove otherwise." I try to kick him but i only kick air. He punches me in the face causing my head to fling back. I feel blood trickling out of my nose.

"Stop! Please! Victor!" He grabs Reggie's face. 

"I AM GOING TO ASK YOU ONE MORE TIME DID YOU FUCK HIM?!" She shakes her head in tears. "Why don't I believe you? Right.... because you are fucking liar!" 

"I swear to you.. If you let him go i will do everything you say!" Reggie begs. 

"NO!" I yell at Reggie. What the fuck is she doing?!

"Anything?" Victor says curiously.

Reggie

"I will do anything you ask of me." I say softly. I can't let him get more hurt because of me. I can't take it anymore. 

"Don't do it, Reggie." Bailey gets out. 

"Im sorry." I mouth to him. Tiago lets go of me as Victor grabs my jaw and brings his lips to mine. I shut my hard trying to block out the sheer and utter disgust i am feeling. I grab the pocket knife that was in my pocket and stab Victor's side. He shoves me off of him causing me to fall on my back. All the guards left Bailey's side and ran over to Victor. 

"You stupid Bitch!" Yells Tiago as he kicks me in the gut. Bailey falls to the ground trying to get to me. 

"Police! NO BODY MOVE or we will shoot! We have this building surrounded!" Tiago tries to run but gets shot in the leg. Bailey finally reaches me and checks to see if i am okay. 

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Bailey asks me. 

"My ribs really hurt." I get out. I look in the corner of my eye and see Victor with a my bloody pocket knife and raised it over Bailey. He has no idea.

"BAILEY!" I scream! Victor stabs it in his side. Bailey yells in pain as he falls next to me. Gun shoots Victor to make him unable to move. Tears fall down my eyes as i lay next to Bailey. He just looks at me. I grab his hands. 

"You are going to be fine." I tell him. "Your okay, I am right here." I cry harder at the thought that he might die. "Please don't leave me." I say to him. He calmly looks at me and smiles. 

"Reggie.." He says as he close his eyes. I start hyperventilating. 

"Bailey!" I Scream. Ambulance started coming to take all who were injured to the hospital. Me and Bailey included. I had bruised rips and a light incision on my neck but nothing too serious. Bailey on the other hand was a different story. 

Sam, Jonnie, Bailey's mom, and I wait patiently in my hospital room for the news. I can't stop crying. Sam just holds my hand not saying a word. Bailey's mother looks a mess. 

"If i would've have known this would have happened due to my husbands actions i would have talked him out of it." Bailey mom says as she wipes away tears. 

"What is going to happen to Victor?" 

"Assuming he makes it out alive. He will be arrested as well as Tiago and a lot of other R.Crew members. " Bailey's mother says. "But Victor will definitely be put in jail. For the murder of my husband, and not mention your sexual abuse charges and many more."

"If Tiago goes to prison, ill have no where to live." I say. 

"Don't worry about that right now... You need to rest You have a lot of people here who are here for you."   The doctor comes in. 

"I heard the parent of Bailey Anderson's mom is here." Bailey's mom stands up. 

"Is he okay?"

"He is fine. We are finishing up with his surgery now. He should be out in 10 minutes." I sigh in relief as a happy tear falls from my face. 

"Thank goodness!" I say in relief. 

An hour later Sam takes me to see Bailey. Everyone leaves me alone with him. He smiles at and holds my hand. 

"Hey." I smile from ear to ear. 

"Hi." 

"Im so glad your okay." He says. 

"I think i should be the one to say that." I say back. "Baby, i am so sorry. I feel like i made your life worse because of me..." 

"Shhhhh, stop don't apologize. Don't ever apologize for that. Right now i want you to kiss me." I stand up and kiss him ever so softly. He places a hand on the side of my face and pulls me in for a deeper kiss. 

"Why are you crying?" He says softly as he put hair behind my ear. 

"I thought I lost you... I am so glad you are all right."  

"I feel like after this I need to take you on a proper date." I laugh. 

"I'll hold you to that.." I say shyly. 

"Who is this shy girl and what have you done with my loud and sassy girlfriend?" I fix his hair and sweetly look at him. 

"What can I say you bring it out of me." I go in for another kiss. I feel his warm tongue dance with mine as he wraps his arms around me. I pull away from him. He gives me a sad look on his face. 

"Where are you going?" He says shyly. 

"Anymore and i'm afraid you might pop your stitches." I say as I sit back next to him. 

"Its probably for the best." I smile at him. 

"Probably." I say back.
