The boys locked the doors behind them.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

There was a full-on fight going on in this warehouse.

This very warehouse that I happen to be standing inside of.

I looked around.

Kyle was nowhere to be seen.

Did I get the coordinates wrong?

Am I at the wrong place at the wrong time? Or am I at the right place at the wrong time?

I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts when I heard a loud crash.

I looked up to a now shattered window, close to the ceiling.

As I watch a boy jump down from it, and land on his feet.

Wow. Incredible.

When I finally see the boy's face I freeze up.

Kyle?!

He's wearing a black long sleeve shirt, with a bulletproof vest on top, black joggers, and black combat boots.

Kyle's glaze somehow lands on me.

He looks shocked and confused.

Without him saying a word, he just punched the boy who was holding my arm, and then Kyle grabbed my arm and pulled me behind himself.

Then, he hides behind some stuff.

"Ellie, what are you doing here?" He asked.

"I found a note with coordinates on it in the hotel room, and then Alicia drove me here," I said.

"One, who the hell is Alicia? And two, I thought I threw out that note!"

"Well, you didn't. And Alicia was the woman at the front desk," I said.

Then, I started hearing gun fires.

I started screaming, but Kyle quickly covered my mouth.

"Babe, don't scream!" He whisper-shouted.

Then, he took his hand off of my mouth.

"Why shouldn't I? There gun fires!" I whisper-shouted as well.

"I know. Listen, I'm just going to get straight into the point. I'm in a gang called 'The Pythons' and..." he took a deep breath.

"And what?" I asked.

"And...Austin's in the gang. He's the leader." Kyle continued.

My jaw dropped.

Austin's in a gang? And he's the leader?

My boyfriend's in a gang?

Why didn't he tell me?

How long has he been in a gang?

Obviously, I have a lot of questions.

"W-what?"

"Listen to me, okay?" Kyle began. I nodded.

"I'll tell you more about it later, but right now I need to handle something. Austin is on his way along with the rest of the gang. We trade weapons for drugs and sometimes money, that's what we do. Except, these people that didn't give us the drugs or money. But, you're not allowed to tell anyone about this, okay?"

"Okay."

"Good girl," he said. "Stay here, you'll be safe."

I nodded.

I watched as he pulled out a gun from a black bag he had.

"K-Kyle," I said, as I looked at the gun.

I don't like violence very much.

"Sweetie, it's okay. This will all be over soon." He assured me.

I nodded.

Kyle kissed my head, and then he ran and kicked some guy in the gut. The boy fell down and I think he was unconscious.

Then, a girl was pointing a gun at Kyle but he noticed her.

"Ellie, cover your eyes!"

I listened and covered my eyes.

I heard a gunshot.

And I knew that girl was gone.

- FlashBack -

"Ellie, do you want to play cops and robbers?" Noah asked.

"Yes!" Eight year old me said.

"Alright. How about you and Jack are robbers and Daniel, Noah and I are cops?" Max asked.

I nodded.

"Okay, let's begin!" Jack shouted.

Everyone nodded.

I ran to the backyard and decided to hide behind the house.

But, of course, elevan-year-old Noah found me.

He had a fake gun in his hand.

But, of course, being eight-year-old me, I thought that it was real.

I tried to run but Daniel grabbed me and pushed me against the house.

I winced in pain.

They laughed.

I looked to my right and saw that Jack was in jail.

So, he couldn't save me, not that he would anyway.

Max was guarding the jail.

Then, Noah placed the gun to my head.

I started screaming.

My brothers were confused.

They didn't know why I was screaming.

They just didn't understand that eight-year-old me didn't know that the gun was fake.

I continued screaming.

"Let's shoot her!" Noah and Daniel both said.

Noah nodded.

They pulled the trigger.

But, nothing happened.

I screamed again.

"It's a fake gun, loser!" Noah yelled in my face.

"Pathetic little brat!" Daniel said while Noah and Daniel put the guns down on the grass.

They all started laughing, encluding Max and Jack.

I started crying.

"I want mommy and daddy," I said, while I leaned my back against the wall and slid down the side of the house.

"Well, too bad. They're at work." Max said.

Then, Max took Jack out of jail and they walked over to Daniel, Noah, and I.

The four of them whispered something to each other.

And the next thing I knew I was getting beat.

They were hitting, kicking, punching, and grabbing me.

I was crying and they were chuckling.

But, they wouldn't stop hurting me.

They never did, no matter what I would say or do.

I just had to live with that pain.

- End of FlashBack -

I heard a loud bang.

Then, the next thing I knew the doors busted down.

I watched as Austin and some other teenagers walked into the warehouse wearing bulletproof outfits.

Some bad guys in the warehouse held up guns and pointed them in Austin's direction, but Austin quickly shot them.

I tried my best not to look, knowing that it will forever scar me.

But, hoping that if I accidentally look that it won't scar me as long as the scars on my skin.

Austin spotted me and ran over to me.

"Hey, baby, what are you doing here?" He asked.

"Kyle." Was all I said.

"Of course." He said, rolling his eyes.

We laughed.

"Listen, I'm guessing Kyle already told you about how I'm in a gang called 'The Pythons' and how I'm the leader." He said.

I nodded.

"Yep. And why didn't you tell me?" I whisper-shouted.

"I didn't want you to break up with me or think that I'm a bad person," Austin said.

"I wouldn't have broken up with you and I don't think you're a bad person. ut, you are a bad boy." I said.

He smirked. "Oh, I know," he said, which caused me to get a little tingling feeling in my stomach.

I rolled my eyes at his comment and snapped back into reality.

"Can I help you guys?" I asked.

He chuckled. "No."

"What? Why not?" I asked.

"I don't want you getting hurt."

"Please."

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"Pleaseeee?" I asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Ugh, fine!"

I smiled.

"But, don't make me save your butt again!" He said.

I sighed. "Okay, and just so you know you're my superman," I said, which made him smile. Not smirk, but smile.

He kissed my head. Then, he reached into a black bag and handed me some extra clothes to put on.

A girl, who looked about 17 came over to me.

"Hi, I'm Alexa. Follow me." She said.

Hi, I'm Alexa, a portable speaker.

Those words went through my head, and in an instant, I burst into a fit of laughter.

"Hi, I'm Ellie. And okay." I said.

She began running towards the back of the warehouse. I followed her.

It looked empty.

She led me to a room.

"Here, you can change into the clothes that Austin gave you. I'll stand out here, and make sure no one comes back here." Alexa said.

Hi. I'm still your portable speaker.

I nodded. "Thank you."

"No problem!"She said, while she exited the room and went into the hallway.

Then, I turned around and shut the door behind her.

I quickly took off my clothes and put on the new ones that Austin gave me.

I decided to leave my other clothes in here, and grab them before we leave.

If I make it out of here alive.

Don't even say that, Ellie.

I chuckled at my thoughts.

I finally finished changing into the new clothes.

I walked over to the small bathroom and looked at my reflection.

I was wearing black joggers, a long sleeve back shirt, and black combat boots.

I decided to put my hair down.

I took out some lip gloss from the pack pocket in my jean shorts that were now laying on the floor in the empty room.

I walked back into the bathroom and put on the dark shade of lip gloss.

What? It's not like I look like a clown or anything. It's just a little lip gloss. I mean, why not add a little difference to my look.

I applied some of the dark shade lip gloss onto my lips and then sealed the top back on.

Then, I put the lip gloss back into the back pocket of my jean shorts and opened up the door to reveal Alexa staring at a wall, blankly.

"Hi," I said.

She turned around. "Hi."

She saw my look and smiled. "You look nice!"

I thanked her.

"You're welcome. Now, let's go!" She said.

I nodded and we ran back to the main part of the warehouse.

We saw glass shattered on the ground, some blood on the floor, and some people that are unconscious.

Austin noticed me and his jaw dropped, and so did Kyle's.

"You....look....hot!" Austin said.

A smile crept onto my face.

"Thanks, but we need to focus!" I said.

"Right!" Kyle said.

Austin snapped out of his trance and ran towards some guy.

He punched him in the face, which caused the guy to fall down to the ground.

He groaned in pain.

I laughed for no reason in particular.

I just thought that it was funny.

Austin pinned the guy to the ground, and then looked at me.

Then he started laughing as well.

But, I don't even know why we were laughing.

"Why are you guys laughing?" Alexa asked.

"I have no idea!" I said while laughing.

Kyle started chuckling.

And then so did Alexa.

Kyle had to clutch tightly onto his stomach because he was laughing so much.

The rest of 'The Pythons' started laughing as well.

And then the bad guys started laughing.

I snapped out of my laughing coma when I felt two muscular arms wrap tightly around my waist.

I looked up to see a boy, around the age of 19.

I struggled to get out of his grip.

He chuckled at my failure.

"Let the hell go of me, you creep!"

"I don't think so, sweetheart." He said.

I decided to fight him.

I stepped on his foot. Which caused him to loosen his grip on me.

And I heard him groan in pain.

I guess that must've really hurt because of the combat boots.

"Oh, I'm sorry I must've not cared to watch where I'm going," I said sarcastically.

Kyle laughed. I smiled.

The boy looked at me with pure hatred in his eyes.

I smirked.

Then, I used my leg to kick his stomach as hard as I could.

He let his grip go.

Then, I took the opportunity to punch him in the face.

He sighed.

"Aww, you're such a little baby," he said, in a baby voice. "Too bad I have to do this!" He said while slapping my face as hard as possible.

I screamed.

He chuckled.

"What the hell did you just do to my girlfriend?" Austin shouted.

"Oh, so she does have a boyfriend?" The boy began. "I didn't think a girl as ugly as her, would be taken."

"Ellie is beautiful! Don't you dare say she isn't or else I'll beat you to a pulp!" Austin began. "Ellie, I would come over there, but I have to take down these idiots over here!" Austin said.

"As if I care, pretty boy," he turned his attention away from Austin, and back on me. He looked down at my arm. "Oh, so your name is Ellie, such a nice name for a... little depressed girl." He said while pouting his lips.

I know he's just trying to get to my head.

"I know you're suicidal. I don't know why you wouldn't mind killing yourself, but why not just let me do it for you?" He said. "I'm just saying, I'd make a great deal with you."

I took a moment to pause and think.

Should I do it?
