Stretching my body around in these soft comfortable sheets I open my eyes and get hit with a banging pain in my head.

How the hell did I end up in my bed?

I slip into my slippers and hiss as I stand cause my whole body aches.

I can't even remember what happened after Jaxon pushed me against the wall.

Don't say he did something to me while I was unconscious cause that would be fucked up!

I brush my teeth and wash my face, tying my hair up in a messy high ponytail.

I creep out my door and tiptoe in my fluffy slippers down the stairs.

I hear some chatter coming from the kitchen, I peak my head around the corner to see the four boys standing around the island talking.

Maybe I should just stay back here and listen.

"Why the fuck was your girlfriend beating the shit out of her?" Devon asks confused.

"Because Scarlett was dared to kiss me and she did, so Melissa attacked her," Derek answers.

"And you didn't stop her?" Damon asks.

"I tried but Melissa said she was going to fucking breakup with me if I kept trying to pull her away, so I let her go," Derek say's.

He's such a dick!

"And what the fuck did you do to her? I left you there to watch her and I come back to see her lying on the ground unconscious," Derek says pointing his finger at Jaxon's chest.

"I don't know, I can't remember," Jaxon say's blankly shrugging his shoulders.

They're all fucking assholes!

I slowly step back still trying to listen incase I miss anything else they say, but that doesn't really go to plan as I stumble over my feet and fall on the ground making a loud thud.

Footsteps are heard from kitchen coming closer, he stands above me narrowing his eyes while looking down at me.

Scared I quickly move back away from him.

I whimper, terrified as he walks closer. Quickly I shuffle on the floor backwards, him getting too close.

I jump up and run but he wraps his large arm around my waist catching me, he spins me around in the opposite direction as he pulls me into him so I can't get away.

I squeal at the quick movement of him capturing me.

With his arm wrapped around my body Damon pulls me into the kitchen where the rest of the boys stand.

He lets go of me "sit now!" He orders loudly.

Making me flinch from his tone I do as I'm told, I pull out a seat in between Derek and Devon.

I gulp as they all stare at me.

"Am I in trouble?" I ask.

Damon wipes his hand over his face as if he deciding on something that's quite complicated.

"So here's the thing we're in a ga-," Damon says but gets cut of by Jaxon.

"Damon! You sure you want to do that?" Jaxon questions.

"What do you mean? What were you going to say?"

I ask confused looking at them all.

"If we tell you things are going to change," Derek says.

"Okay, annnd?" I say getting even more curious as to what they want to tell me.

"I don't know if you should," Devon say's butting in.

"Just tell me," I say getting frustrated now that I know they're hiding something from me.

Damon sighs "fine. But promise you won't say anything to anyone about this or you will be in fucking big trouble," Damon warns.

"Okay I promise," I say.

"Well...all four of us are gang members and I'm the gang leader, we are the black blood." He says very serious.

What?

Are they fucking with me?

I narrow my eyes as I'm so confused "isn't the black blood gang the most dangerous gang in the city? An-and the gang leader is the most ruthless, violent, cold-hearted person rumoured in this city?" I ask completely terrified.

"Bu-but you said you are the ga-gang leader," I say as I slowly stand up and walk backwards away from the group of boys I thought I kind of knew.

What? Like what the fuck!

Damon stares at me with slight anger in his eyes, maybe from how I've reacted or from the way he just is...a monster.

I wondered how he could be so disgustingly violent to me and just in general, so this whole time I've been living with gang members. And like what the fuck! I dated a gang member, Jaxon!

He didn't even tell me that asshole, that whole time we dated he never told me what he did for a living.

"Scarlett," Devon says but makes me flinch as I'm shocked and scared from these people in front of me.

I know they could see the fear in my eyes that's caused by them.

Derek steps forward as I take several steps back holding my hand out to keep much distance.

Who knows what they'd do to me, they would kill me if they wanted to.

All those times they threatened me I thought they would never take it that far, yet this whole time they actually could end up really hurting me or even killing me.

I whimper as he comes closer "Stop, don't," I say to Derek.

He keeps coming forward I move back but stop as the couch is in the way, I stand on the couch moving backwards yet not knowing what I'm doing as I'm more frightened from what's in front of me I fall off the couch landing on my ass.

I yelp in pain.

Derek walks around the couch and stands above me with both his feet on either side of me.

I crawl back but he instantly sits on top of me capturing me.

I scream "ahhhh! Stop get off me, please get off me!"

I throw my fists at his torso as I can't sit up, he grabs my wrists leaning over me pins my hands down.

"I'm not going to hurt you," he says calmly.

I cry.

Cause he's already hurting me, his weight is hurting me as my whole body aches of pain from last nights party situation.

"Scarlett, I'm not going hurt you," Derek says slightly annoyed.

I cry uncontrollably "you-your already hurting me," I say.

He looks at me confused.

"M-my bo-dy hurts from la-last night," I try to say.

He notices that his weight is leaning on my weak body.

"Fuck!" He says and instantly lets go of me and stands up.

I quickly shuffle away from him, standing up I run out and upstairs to my room. Locking the door I hop into my covers and knock out asleep.
