It was the next morning after all the drama yesterday, we both went home before school ended, where Marley had to try and explain what happened to our confused mother, let's just say she wasn't happy. I finish getting ready for school when I get a knock at the door, I pick my school bag up walking over, I open it to reveal Marley stood there with a plate of toast in his hand.

"Call this a peace offering" he awkwardly smiles, I send him a little smile back taking the toast "does this mean you forgive me?" He asks, but I shake my head walking past him "what I gave you toast!" He says surprised, following me.

"You can give me all the toast you want, but you still went along and tried to start beef with the toughest guy in school!" I exclaim, turning around to look at him "we've all heard the stories of the horrible things they've done, so you go along and try to fight him!" I shout while turning back around walking down the stairs.

"Oh come on I can handle myself, why are you getting so hung up about this?" He asks, when I don't stop he takes my arm, stopping me himself.

"Because maybe I don't want my brother being taken from me like dad!" I shout, he looks at me for a second then sighs, he goes to take my hand but I move "no, just leave me alone for a while, I'm going to school" I say, walking to the door leaving the house.

I start making my way down the road heading for school, I didn't know him fighting would cause me this much emotion. When we were little, our dad was killed in a robbery, he was just minding his own business one night when a group of thugs went over and attacked him. He was the best person and dad anyone could ask for, but he was taken from us by people like Charlie and his friends, I don't wanna lose my brother the same way.

I hadn't realised I was already walking through the school gates, wow I didn't even think about where I was going, I just went. As I make my way towards the building, I just felt eyes on me, I try to ignore them not liking the attention, while I see Lily and James appear. Immediately, I'm wrapped in a hug by James, followed by Lily wrapping her arms around both of us.

"Thanks guys, you don't know how much I actually needed this hug," I tell them, they both hold me tighter for a second before pulling away.

"You're the topic of many people's conversations," Lily tells me, I just shrug following them into the school "I mean what you did was so badass, you smashed a plate over one of the guys head, then told the leader of the unconfirmed gang what to do!" She exclaims, I just laugh a little shaking my head, I did what I had to for my family.

"I knew no one was gonna break up that fight, so I had to stand up for what was right and like you said, unconfirmed gang" I shrug like it was nothing, but really, I still couldn't get my head around what I did yesterday.

"Don't forget, Mr Jones wants to see you after third period" James reminds me, great I actually did forget about that and I really wasn't in the mood, but I told him I would so I have to, honestly I'm too nice of a person.

The school day went pretty quickly, I had just finished science and was making my way towards Mr Jones's classroom. It didn't take me long to arrive, thankfully the person I had to tutor hadn't arrived either. I wait in the classroom on one of the tables when the door opens, I look up and come face to face with the one and only, Charlie Wilson.

"Miya, this is Charlie the boy I want you to help, now Charlie you can be a tricky person to work with but I hope you'll treat Miya with respect," Mr Jones says, Charlie walks further into the classroom closing the door.

"Oh don't worry sir, I'll treat her with nothing but respect" he smiles, I didn't know if I liked that sentence that just left his lips.

"Great, now I'm about to go to lunch but you two can stay in here, to discuss times and what have you" Mr Jones smiles, he packs up his things and leaves the room.

"Your brother isn't gonna be so happy" Charlie smiles, I just back away from him scared "and I have to say, what you did yesterday was pretty impressive" he continues to smile, as I was taking steps away from him, he was taking more towards me.

"I don't care what my brother will be happy about, and I only did what was right" I finally speak up, but I couldn't walk anymore as my back hit the wall.

"I like a girl who can stand up for herself, which reminds me, we never got to finish our conversation yesterday" he smiles, he was now standing in front of me so I was trapped against the wall.

"You need to stop living in the past, now I'm free to tutor you Wednesday's and Friday's," I say dismissing him, he looks down smiling but I reach over taking a piece of paper "this is my address, I'll see you tomorrow after school," I say, handing him the paper, he takes it where I push passed him starting to leave.

"Again, I like a girl who can who can stand up for herself" he smiles, still standing by the wall.

"And I like a guy who isn't full of himself" I smirk before fully walking out the room, once I was around the corner I put my back against the wall, what the heck keeps happening?

After a long day at school I arrive home, I walk through the door where Marley sat on the sofa. He never went to school today, which in my opinion made him seem weak but I wasn't him. Dumping my bag by the door, I walk to the kitchen for a snack.

"I heard Mr Jones asked you to tutor someone," he says, as I open the fridge I freeze hoping he didn't ask me who it was "so who's the unlucky person?" He asks with a laugh, I take a yoghurt from the fridge walking towards the stairs.

"That has nothing to do with you," I say, starting to make my way up the stairs but he stops me "I'm not telling you so go away," I say, whilst ripping my hand away from his.

"It's someone I don't like isn't it?" He asks, nope it's someone you hate "is it that Tom guy from your maths?" He asks, nope, but you're getting warmer.

I still don't answer him and start to walk up the stairs, the whole way up he was asking me a bunch of guys names.

"It's Charlie Wilson alright!" I shout, finally having enough of him being annoying, he looks taken back as I go to open my door.

"You aren't helping him, he can stay away from you," he says, this annoyed me as I was sick of people telling me what I could and couldn't do.

"This has nothing to do with you, I am tutoring him and you can back off," I say, walking into the room slamming the door behind me.

Why is everyone getting on my nerves lately?!

    It's been about a month since I spoke with dad, we haven't heard a thing from either parent, but honestly, we don't need them. Charlie, me and the guys all moved into the house with Marley as the house was much too big for him to live in alone, that and there was so many of us squeezing into Charlie's place. Speaking of Charlie, after everything with my family he saw that life was too short and reached out to his. They haven't met in person yet but they talk over the phone a lot, it's made him happy which is all that matters. Today was Marley's big football game, the guys and I were just finding our seats to watch him. Charlie and the guys have started to try and get on with Marley, I mean they kind of have to as they live in his house. Don't get me wrong they do have their moments, but at the end of the day, we all sit down, eat pizza and watch tv. Loud cheers snap me out of thoughts wher

  • Loving The Gang Leader    Chapter Twenty-Two

    For the whole lesson after that James didn't utter word, Tom on the other hand wouldn't shut up. He was going on about how proud he was of me and how he knew I'd do that one day, I didn't know where that came from in me but I'm kinda glad I did it. Once the lesson was over Tom and I head to English, a lesson Charlie was in and I actually couldn't wait to see him. Tom and I make our way down the hall, my arm linked with his as he went on and on about what happened, by the end I was laughing at him. As we walk into the class Charlie was already there, Tom had to stop off to chat this girl up and wouldn't let me leave, he didn't get her number if you were wondering. Charlie sends me a smile as we walk over to our seats, Lily sends me a smile where I look at Charlie and shrug. I take my seat beside her directly in front of Charlie, Lily immediately smiles as sit down. "I was hoping you'd sit next to me" she smiles,

  • Loving The Gang Leader    Chapter Twenty-One

    The next morning went by so quickly, I was kind of nervous to walk into school being completely different. I didn't have anything I normally would, I wasn't in my normal uniform and I didn't have my bag with all my supplies, I didn't even have a pen! As we make our way into the school gates I feel eyes on me, everyone stops and looks at us but mostly me. Charlie looks over at me smiling placing a kiss on my head, I look up at him smiling as he gives my hand he's holding a little squeeze. On our journey further into school, I caught sight of two people, James and Lily were stood there shocked staring at me. I take a look at Charlie who was giving dirty looks to some guy, I make us stop moving to talk to him. "I'll just be a minute" I smile, placing a kiss on his lips before running over to my two friends "Lil-" I start to speak, but I'm wrapped in a tight hug before I could finish my sentence.

    I stand frozen at the door not daring to turn, I could tell who it was by their voice. Charlie remained behind me with his hand on my back, the door was wide open at this point where my neighbours smile at me, but I couldn't return the smile. "Dad?" I hear Marley ask then he begins to cry along with my mother but I shake my head. "I can't do this" is all I say walking out the house, I hear my dad start calling my name but I don't turn my head even for a second. Charlie unlocks the car where I immediately climb in, out the corner of my eye I see someone running out of the house but I shake my head turning to look at Charlie. He sends me a soft smile turning the car on, before the person could reach my door we were driving away.

    We soon arrive at my house, I look at Charlie who parks the car up outside. I still didn't know if this was a good idea, it would make me feel better to have him there but Marley will lose his mind. Before I could speak Charlie shakes his head getting out, he knew what I was gonna say before I even said it! I sigh joining him outside the car, where my family home was stood right in front of me. I just had fear take over my body staring at it, I've never been this scared to walk in this house, actually, I've never been scared to walk in the house. Charlie takes my hand leading me down the path, with every step we took the more nervous I got. When we finally reach the door I just stare at Charlie, I didn't know if I should knock before we walk in. Charlie gestures for me to take the handle answering my question, I nod taking a breath before taking ahold of the handle opening the door. The smell of home fills my no

  • Loving The Gang Leader    Chapter Eighteen

    It's been a few days since Charlie told me what happened, I haven't seen Morgan at all as he's locked himself in his room. Charlie said he had a plan to get us out of here, he told me it was foolproof which I guess means it's good. But if this works I get to go back home to Marley and my mum, where I can ask my mum for the truth and will have to explain to Marley everything that's happened, I'm not looking forward to that. I was taking a midday nap, I mean there was nothing else to do when the door opens causing me to jump. Charlie walks into the room holding a bottle in his hands, he makes his way over to me stroking my hair. "You know I love you right, more than anything," he says, I just nod while he opens the lid of the bottle "then just know this is gonna keep you safe," he says, before he forces whatever liquid was in the bottle from m
