I woke up still tied up. Luckily my jacket was still on. I'm trying so hard to reach in my sleeve pocket and grab my knife, with my hands tied it's kind of hard. I can do it. I have to. I have to fight. At least until I'm free or hopefully Bran shows up."Come on Laura, you can do this." I muttered over and over again. I finally managed to snag my knife free and cut one hand free. Now to the other. Before I could even start, foot steps echoed in the hall getting closer. "Shi-" I put my knife back and hung looking exhausted. "Well, ain't you a pretty thing." A guy dressed in all green with blonde hair and deep green eyes stood in front of me. "Let's have some fun." He smirked tugging on my shirt. "Let. Go. Of. Me." I whispered. "You're my new toy. Come on, let Robby see what he's got." He pouted loosening my other hand. "Back off." I growled. "Or what?" He chuckled. "You're too weak to do anything." He pulled my shirt up and started undoing my pants. I decided to go along with h

Waking up in this room beside Bran, was almost like a dream. Getting up was hard, I mean I know we kind of slept together last night, but I still wasn't use to having a "boyfriend". It was weird, especially after swearing I'd never date a guy, let alone a gang leader. But it was awkward now considering I was butt ass naked under these sheets. I swung one leg over the side of the bed slowly, then the other. I used my feet to fill around for my underwear and clothes. When I didn't fill them anywhere I gave up. I scooted back up, when I turned to look at bran he was awake and watching me with amusement all over his face."Really?" He tried so hard not to laugh. "I-i usually always do this." I lied growing embarrassed. He laughed and pulled all the sheets off me exposing my bare skin. "There. Embarrassment over." "That's not fair." I pulled the sheets back on me and off him. Of course he'd be wearing his boxers. I rolled my eyes."I don't sleep naked." He shrugged with a laugh. "I m

Today was the day I go talk to my mom about her choice to join us or die. I hope she chooses us, I hate to admit it but I really needed her. I crawled out of bed slowly and threw on a clean pair of clothes and walked to the elevator to go down. Bran was sprawled out on the couch passed out with a blanket thrown over him. Part of me wanted to jump on top of him and kiss him, but. I still needed time. Marla saying she was pregnant was a slap to the face. "Morning." Lisa whispered frowning. "I heard what happened. We need to talk." I nodded my head "ok." She grabbed my hand and pulled me to a corner away from the other gang members. "I'm pregnant. Bran showed me the test Marla give him. It was mine not hers." She let out a sigh. "It was in my room, she must've taken it while we were gone. We were wanting it to be a surprise." "So I owe him an enormous apology." I frowned looking over at bran. "I just- I don't know if I can right now." "Take your time." She half smiled. "He cares ab

"It's not your time. My sweet girl, we love you. We are always with you." My grams silver hair shined in the bright light. My gramps perfect white teeth shining in his mouth. "Don't leave me again!" I begged. The light was fading along with my grandparents. Erratic beeping started and my eyes slowly opened to a bright room. "Oh, my sweet girl." My mom sobbed squeezing my hand. "Mom?" My voice came out as a whisper. "Where am I?" "You're in the hospital, my love. You've been in and out for a few days." My mom sighed wiping her tears. "Why would you try and kill yourself?" "I can't take anymore." I fought back the tears which threatened to spill. "I'm so tired." "Then don't fight, rest." My mom nodded. "But you can't leave me." "Dinners here. She awake?" Sunny chirped."She's up, come on in." My mom sighed releasing my hand.A bunch of gang members walked through the door with balloons and flowers. Not what you'd expect, but it meant they all cared. I didn't see bran anywhere th

The sound of he bedroom door busting open and mark screaming woke me up, along with bran. "What the hell, man!?" Bran yelled rubbing his eyes."Ben is gone!" Mark yelled completely shook."What of my mother?" "She's gone too..." mark frowned.This can't be happening. I felt the betrayal of my mother hit me hard, like I been hit by a car. Bran reading the expression on my face wrapped me into a hug. "We don't know she betrayed us." He whispered kissing the top of my head."Who else would've had access to Ben, bran?" "A lot of people. Mark check the cameras footage. I wanna know who the last person in there was!" "You got it boss." I hid my face in brans chest trying to gather every ounce of courage and calm I could muster. Life was getting harder to bare. I didn't know how much more I could take. "We will find her and Ben. I promise." He muttered not letting me go. "No one will hurt you." At least that made me perk up a bit. Bran was basically my knight in shining armor. He has
