I've become a master at breaking my own heart with simple thoughts, dreams, and hopes that are impossible to achieve. Things that I will never accomplish, places i'll never go, and people i'll never be able to love because my mind holds be back so very much it makes me sad. And frustrated.

I stood still trying not to shake or show fear. Turning my head I glare at the beat up and bloody, Paxton. The twins were holding him down but he was to weak to make a except.

Oliver had just dropped him off around a hour ago, he told me he sent the message. Lazaro was coming with Winter, the white haired girl. Meaning Ryan and Mavis would be at the docks. Mavis ended up staying longer for some reason.

It had been a week since I told everybody the plan and so far it has been quite from the South.

Oliver said that he only agreed if it's both of us. So that's why i'm here with Paxton.

I rocked softly back in forth, I had on simple black turtleneck and a plaid skirt. The black heals matched my outfit. "Oakley, we have two snipers looking out for you. Roland is one of them." I heard Reed say through the ear piece. I mumble a soft "Ok."

"We will have group surround the building once they are inside ok?" I heard another voice, it was the first time he spoke more than two words to me making want to scream at him. Roland ignored me this week and I really didn't understand why.

"Fine." I spit out harshly making me hear a sigh. The door slams open making me flinch and look over. His large body walks slowly inside, his brown hair was slicked away as his ice blues eyes stared at me. His eyes trailed over my body then he looks at his brother. I harsh glare crossed his face making me take a step back.

"I'm a busy man, my love." He says with a smirk. I watch as Winter appears next to him, she was wearing a tight black dress. She crossed her arms as she looks at me. "So give me my brother and let's go." He mumbles placing a hand on his waistline, or his gun. I tense up softy. I nod over at the twins making them throw Paxton to the ground. A load groan leaves his lips as I take a step towards the three. His hand comes out to grab my waist as soon as i'm next to him. I flinch away from him causing him to grip my hip pulling me into him.

I hear a soft "Now." causing me to pull out my gun and place it on his head before he could react. Winter stoped helping Paxton, pulling out her gun aiming it at my head. Everyone froze, I knew if I shot him I would be shot as well. "Your going to die if you shoot me." He says trying to get me to put down the gun. I stay still a flat expression on my face as I tighten my grip on the gun.

"Do you think I care." I hum making him tense up. "One life to stop a person who would take any life that got in there way, it's simple."

"Your lying. Your the same bitch I fucked all those years ago," He spits making tears come to my eyes. "You couldn't kill me, your to scared."

"Your right I am scared." I whisper. "I didn't ask for this and never wanted to be in this situation. But your also wrong. I am not the girl that you raped all those years ago. That girl wouldn't do this.." I mumble as I pull the trigger causing red blood to splash out of his head.

I heard another bang, I shut my eyes ready for the pain to come.

It never did, I opened my eyes as soon as I did I heard loud thumps. I look down to see both there lifeless body's. I stumbled back as my head started spinning. I felt people appear but I couldn't hear what was happening, everything sounded far away. Then I heard another gun shot causing me to turn around. Roland stood above Paxton with a gun in his hand. Blood was spilling out of his head making me suck in a breathe.

There was so much blood. I felt sick, looking down at my hands that were shaking violently. What was happening to me. I felt someone come in front of me making my eyes leave my hands.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." I heard him whisper as his hands run through his hair then gently on my cheeks. "Angel, calm down." Roland said leaning over so I could look him in the eyes. That's when I felt the wetness of my tears that were rolling down my cheeks.

They say some people survive chaos and that is how they grow. And some thrive because that is all they know. But what about the people who can't escape or get past it. The ones that are consumed by it. What happens to them? What will happen to me.

"I knew I should've done it. I shouldn't have let you do it." He says, mainly to himself. His eyes seemed in pain as he stared at me. I was still shaking as the bodies were being dragged away somewhere. His hands moved to my hips pulling me up and into his body. My legs rapped around him as he carried me off somewhere. Resting my head in the crook of his neck I felt my breathe start to slow.

I killed someone, I took a life away. He deserved it yes. But something about it made me feel guilty. I knew I would think about the fact that I did it a lot before it happened. But every time I closed my eyes, it would replay in my head.

The car ride was short and silent. As soon as we got out people were talking all around us as we moved through what I now knew was the house. Roland was ordering men and people were telling him things yet he still was holding me tightly and just letting me be there near him.

After everyone was gone he brought me up the stairs and into his room. As the door shuts I lift my head up slowly to look at him. "You are strong, Angel." He whispers as he kisses my hair. I get out of his arms, standing in front of him.

His shirt had blood on it and so did his pants. I couldn't imagine what my clothes looked like.

"Do you want to shower?" He whispers softly as he kisses my cheek. I slowly nod looking down as he pulls me along into the bathroom.

"Everything is done with, the South is gone." Roland says as we eat dinner together in the dinning room. It had been two days since everything has happened and i've calmed down a lot. Also Milo was coming back for a day to check in on me and everything.

I slowly chewed on the steak that the cook made. "What about there men?"

"We gave them two options. One to leave this life and one to work with us. We killed the men who couldn't make up there minds." He says with a frown.

"Ok." I squeak out. He reaches over to grip my hand is his, I send him a small smile. As I finish my food we clean up quickly.

"Come on Angel, we need to get dressed." I frown softly at his words as he walks over to me. His head dips into my neck kissing me softly. I tilt my head letting him have more access to my neck and jaw.

"Why are we getting dressed?" I say trying not to let my voice crack. His lips moved from my neck to my jawline kissing and sucking roughly. My back pressed against the countertop making him lift me onto it. His hands moved lower one resting on my hip as the other squeeze my ass tightly.

"We have a meeting, with the other two leaders. We have to figure out a plan for the extra land and the future." He hums against my skin making me squirm. I nod softly, I push him gently off me making him groan as he follows me to his room. I had moved almost half of my clothes into the house so I can have some at both places.

Entering his room I walk to the closet, he walks in after me watching me carefully. I skimmed along all my dress before I turned to him. "What should I wear? Is this like formal or fancy or what?!" I say slightly confused.

"A nice dress, it's just a dinner meeting." He chuckles causing me to nod softly before turning back to the clothes. I pull out a long sleeved black dress. I smiled turning to Roland.

"Out." I say causing him to glare at me. He eyes me up and down before he turns leaving me to change. I quickly slip it on and walk out seeing him waiting. He already had on a suit like always so he didn't need to change. "Can you zip me?" I say softly making him walk over to me.

I felt his hands grip my hip tightly as he stands behind me. I squirmed under his cold hands that gently touched my neck. After he zipped it up his hand moved to mine. "Ready Angel?"

I grab heals and smile as we leave the room. We needed to figure out a better way to co-exist but I knew all the boys had there idea of being king.
