Chapter 5

I can wreck these people in no time. It'll be a piece of cake.

"Hey y'all!" I exclaimed, flashing them a wide grin. They all turned their gaze on me. I was almost satisfied, until I saw that man number 2 had his grip on the girl's arm as he continued to look at me.

"Who are you and what the fuck are you doing here?" A man spoke up. Which I'm assuming is the boss since he's the scariest one and largest.

He had a huge scar on the left side of his face. A yellow teeth that proves that he doesn't brush his teeth. And a shaved eyebrows. While the other two looked like they were twins. The only difference is that one of them is bald and the other one has a buzz cut.

"Hi. My name is...ehh-" I started noticing that the man's grip around her was starting to loosen up. "....Erin." I lied.

"What the fuck do you want?" he spat out angrily.

Damn, this man is super straightforward.... just like grandma.

Thinking of my grandmother, I know she'd want me to kick these guys' asses. Fear no longer run in my veins, but instead, it was replaced with amusement. I wonder how this one will go.

"I was wondering if you got some..." I responded.

Confusion made it's way to his face as he eyed me suspiciously and dangerously. My eyes left his and landed on his nose hole. It was surrounded by white powder, clearly confirming he's high.

"Some what? Bitch!" he bursted out so loud. His loud voice almost made me laugh. This guy's temper is something else.

Why the sudden change of tone, jerk?

"Some drugs, asshole!" I matched his energy.

I don't think he liked that very much because for some reason, his angry expression became angrier every second that passed by.

He started walking towards me, lifting his hand in the process to slap me later on.

I glanced at the woman. She was finally free from his grip as Mr. Inhaler grabs ahold of her. When Samuels' son noticed that the guy was approaching me, about to hit me, his eyes widened as he panicked.

I was quick to look away and back at the huge man to avoid any suspicion. The other two was just now minding their own business because one of them was picking his nose and the other was petting the rat that sat on the top of the garbage. Man, they're really are high.

I glanced back at him and the woman again and saw that he was about to drop a huge brick.

BANG.

The guy was inches away from hitting me but was distracted when the sound Samuels made cut him off, making him attempt to turn around to check where the noise came from. And now, it was my turn to widen my eyes.

I tried to think fast. They can't see them. They'll chase them right away. Or maybe even kill them.

"ASTRONAUT IN THE OCEAN!" I said out loud, screaming.

The man turned his gaze back to me as he gave me a dirty look.

I didn't know what came out of my mouth at all. I had no control over it. It just came out. And I'm just thanking my quick brain for thinking such thing. It saved my ass.

"Isssssss....the song I like to sing when I'm high on drugs." I flash him a sheepish grin.

That was a good lie....I think.

"NO WAYYY....THAT'S MY FAVORITE!" One of the twins smiled at me, before high fiving his brother.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" The big man pointed straight at the girl and officer Samuels' son as soon as he catches them running.

That made my reflexes grab the shattered bottle near me and hit his head. Strong and hard. "RUN!" I screamed at them.

I ran pass the big man and straight pass both the twins, since they're not in the right state of mind.

My feet was stomping loudly. I looked at him and saw that he already had his hand out, waiting for me to reach him, and somehow, that made me smile.

Once my hand collided with his, he dragged me away from the drug dealers. The girl was already running towards another direction.

I felt wind brush through my hair once again, but only this time, it's better. I throw my head back laughing from my stupid acts. Later on, he joined me and laughed too.

It felt so good to do shit like this. I would do this every day if only it isn't illegal.

The butterflies erupt inside of stomach. The happy feeling felt like it lightened my entire soul up.

We were about to cross the road but something stopped us. My eyes widened at the sight of all three of them, already infront of us. A mad look on their faces.

Our feets back away for a few steps.

They probably know all the short cuts here.

This time, they were quick to run to us. They were fast.

Two hands grabbed my shoulders and turned me to face the guy who uses inhaler. "Do you trust me?"

"What?" I asked in confusion.

Any second now and they're gonna reach us.

"Do you trust me?" he repeated louder.

Do I trust him? I mean he threatened to report me to his dad. He almost ditched me and left me alone to deal with the drug dealers. So do I trust him?

"No."

I didn't get to ask what he meant by that as he picked me up, bridal style. My arms automatically wrapped around his neck as I held on tight.

His grip on my legs and waist was tight enough to ensure me that I won't fall. I don't trust him...I think.

He leaned his mouth into my ears. "Kick." he whispered in a gravelly and low voice.

I didn't have to be asked twice to follow his words. My feet went and kicked the jaw of the 6'6 guy. And not even a second later, he dropped me to the ground quickly but softly at the same time.
