Sam's POV

"We love her" my mom said as she sat  next to me on the couch. Diamond, Ruby, and Noah left a few minutes ago.

I was just watching a football game with my dad and Katherine.

"I'm glad you like her"

"But you know she's in danger right?"

"Yes I know"

I feel horrible about it. I love diamond too much to see her get hurt by my actions.

It's killing me inside not telling her the whole truth.

"You have to tell her" my dad added.

I nodded my head and went back to the game. Minutes later the doorbell rung.

"Did you order pizza" my mom asked with a stern look on her face.

Last month my mom made some fried rice with shrimp. I didn't like it so I ordered pizza.

She didn't talk to me for two weeks. I had to beg for her forgiveness. She didn't make breakfast or dinner for me in those two weeks.

"No I didn't" I got up and walked towards the door.

I opened the door and no one was there. I looked left and right and still, no one.

I was about to close the door but something caught my eye. There was a red box with a black panter on it.

This can't be good.

I picked up the box and closed the door.

"Dad, I think you need to see this"

He paused the t.v. and turned around. I placed the box on the dinning room table.

Once he saw the black panter on it his face turned red.

He opened up the box and slowly picked up what was inside. It was a bunch of pictures of Diamond.

The pictures were taken today because her hair and nails is the same.

After we took all the pictures out there was a yellow piece of paper on the bottom of the box.

I opened it and started to read.

To my buddy sam,

You have a very pretty girlfriend.  You have good taste I'll give you that. One day she'll be mine. But for now, I'll be a shame if something happened to her.

With love from,

The black Panthers

I crumbled up the note and threw it in the box. I don't know why I put Diamond in this mess.

"Son, go to her"

I nodded my head and ran out of my house. I can't let her get hurt. I'm not gonna let this happen.

In less then 2 minutes I pulled up in front of Diamond's house. I was doing 110 in a 80 mile limit.

The fact that they took pictures of her in her shorts and a tank top made me even more eager to reach her house in record breaking time.

I threw rocks at her window, hoping she would wake up.

I know she loves her sleep so I really hope she wakes up.

After a few minutes the windows started to open.

Diamond's POV

I rolled out of my bed and checked the time. It was 2 in the morning.

I walked to my window and opened it up. The cool breeze nipped at my skin as I was only wearing short pajama pants and a tank top.

Sam climbed through my window and landed on the floor with a thud. I didn't even bother helping him up. I couldn't even stand up straight myself.

"Hi princess"

"Hi sammy" I said while I rubbed my eyes. It's too late for this.

I'm supposed to be dreaming about Sam not have him wake me up from my sleep.

He pulled me in for a bone crushing hug. He hugged me like he was about to lose me.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

He seems a little off. He's anxious and mad at the same time.

He pulled away from me and kissed my forehead. His lips lingered on my forehead instead of him giving me a quick forehead kiss.

"Baby what happened" I said as I rubbed his back.

He pulled away and I looked in his eyes. His eyes were glistening in the moon light.

Was he crying?

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry" he kept on saying as he ran his hands through his hair.

"What did you do?"

"I put you in danger"

What is he talking about? What danger?

"What do you mean you put me in danger?"

"People are after you"

I stepped away from him and stared at him. What did this idiot do now?

"The black Panthers are after you" he whispered.

The black Panthers is the second largest gang in California. The Vipers are number one.

I heard that they are in a war with the Vipers so they can take control. They will kill anymore and everything that gets in their way.

They scare me to death. They don't care if your a girl, boy, or baby. If you get in their way you will be dead.

"Why are they after me? I didn't do anything"

I never have been apart of a gang and I never will be. I can't deal with the stress and constant paranoia that comes with being in a gang.

"Their goal is to hurt the person I love the most"

"Why are they basing it off of the person you love?"

His eyes wandered around my room. He couldn't meet my eyes. He looked very uncomfortable.

I heard rustling outside of my window. I turned around but, no one was there.

I faced Sam again only to find him gone. A hand pulled me to the other side of my bed.

I stared to panic. I didn't know who this is.

I turned around and I saw Sam with his index finger over his mouth. I nodded my head and stayed quite.

He pulled something from his waist band and pointed it towards my opened window.

I looked closer and I saw it was a gun. Why does he have a gun on him?

My thoughts were cut off by a man wearing all black and a ski mask that was climbing through my window.

Sam waited for him to be fully in my room. He cocked his gun and a bullets came flying across my room.

The guy was down seconds later. I was just screaming my head off. There is a dead body in the middle of my room.

Sam walked over to the guy and examined his face. He took his phone out and took a picture of the dead body.

It's a good thing my mom was at work right now because I would definitely be dead.

Sam picked up the body and threw it outside of my window. He's acting like what just happened is normal.

"WHAT'S GOING ON??"

Sam didn't answer me. He just stood there scratching his head.

"TELL ME NOW!!"

I deserve an explanation.

He woke me up at 2am and now there is a dead man in front of my house. There is blood all over my white fur carpet now.

"I'm in a gang"
