Chapter Twelve: Punching bag
Dahlia pov
It all happened so fast. Alec and I were talking outside, then we heard a monstrous scream. I could see alec look at me, and I knew he was gonna do something to stop me from going. So instead I just ran toward the scream.And of course, he followed.He had to.Unless he wanted to get killed by Ajax or Jasper for letting me go, I stopped suddenly, looking in front of me was a little girl, about 6 years old, staring blankly at the scene in front of her.There was a guy probably mid thirties, beating a woman up, he was grabbing her viciously by her hair, and yet the child didn't have any emotions that she portrayed.I do the only thing I know how to, and walk up to the man, who still holds the woman captive. Then the guy stops, hearing the leaves crackle as I walk, then the man looks up at us starRelated chapters
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter thirteen: A life not worth living
Nathan takes me to his bedroom, which is quite large and very open in space, but barely any windows, he gets me to sit down on one of the chairs in the corner by the mini bar and I take that spare moment to ask him some questions, "Did you study medicine?" Nathan looks back at me from getting his medical supplies and replies, "yeah I did a bit in high school" but doesn't say much, so I ask him some more, "why did you stop?"Nathan ponders for a moment before he answers and then shrugs, "things came up, I had to take care of my brother before anything, and the high school I went to didn't really offer anything good"I nod, "did you have good grades?" Nathan smirks a tiny bit, "I guess" he pauses, "but it just wouldn't work out for a guy like me, not now anyway""you mean the whole 'i'm involved with a gang, you just happen to be on the most wanted list" I say to him, curious about him and the life he has in a gang. Nathan strides over to me from his 'work
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter fourteen: Team player
The gang keeps asking me questions, and I can't stop them but its hardly what I would call a good conversation, its more like an invasion of freakin privacy. but Ajax and Jasper keep out of it, almost like they know how mad I can get, I hate getting asked questions so I try and be as basic as I can be. but they don't even try and stop the others, almost like they know, I wish they would just shut up. I just want quietness again, please I beg of you. ha fuck that I am not begging for anything, ever again. Ever since Coby anyway.Jace tries to make the conversation go longer by asking the stupidest questions, "do you have any hobbies then, Dahlia?" I nod and give him the bare minimum of what they are, "I like killing people and reading" which is mildly true, but I hate killing people, I just can't do it without thinking about him. my thoughts however are interrupted when Jasper laughs, "If you wanna say knife throwing, say it, our sk
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter fifteen: Shut them away or shut down
I'm not sure if I should be happy or upset that I managed to find him, well I didn't exactly find him he was here all along under my nose, that stupid idiot. I'm angry and mad and a lot of everything, how could someone who supposedly loved me do this? why didn't he tell me sooner? I could have still been with him and had a life with him, but I guess he didn't feel the same.Ajax makes Ty leave and I move from standing right next to him to sitting down the furthest I can away from him, I hold my head in my hands and lower them near my lap, needing comfort in my own warmth. After 10 minutes everybody in the gang came back from their business jobs, and the look on their faces each when they walked in were enough for the atmosphere to turn extremely tense, even more than what was before, but they knew that something was wrong, yet they didn't ask, they know better than that-or well some of them do.Most of them stayed silent. Though a few of them like Jace
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter Sixteen: The leave
1:39amAfter all this time he is actually alive? How the actual fuck did I not notice this, he's changed so much that I have only been able to see it now, none of this makes sense. Do I call him Ajax or Coby? Do I mention this to anyone else or do I just forget about it and let it go? Fuck that.But while I sit and ponder I notice a shadow outside my door, and then after a few seconds knock hits, making me flinch only slightly. "Dahlia, you awake?" I roll my eyes, "When am I not?" he gives me a short laugh and then opens the door, shaking his head as he enters my room. "I wanted to see how you were doing" he pauses, "Fuck off, Coby" the words barely process my mind before I speak and I can tell he gets visibly hurt and disappointed at my words, now you see how it feels."You know that I had such a hard time having to do that, but I didn't have a choice" I scoff at him, "Are you fucking kidding me right now? I had to literally think I was

(three days since Dahlia moved in with Calvin)13:37 PMI know Ajax has ben trying to locate me, he managed to turn on my phone and nearly find me but luckily I caught him before it got any further, Cal wasn't happy when he found out that Ajax was actually Coby and he was my ex, he got mad at what he did and made me do, and once I told him everything he told me that he would make sure it never happens again.But I know for a fact that Ajax wont stop trying and I don't want him to hurt Cal, no we aren't dating, yet anyway I don't know if I want to create something in my head that isn't there, I don't even know if he actually does like me like that or we are just going off of some fling that we had years ago and it has been relite. Cal and I are baking chocolate chip cookies and dancing to old pop songs that we had both forgotten, I cant help but smile at Cal and his awful dancing and singing, but I can t
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter eighteen: should be, but are you
Dahlia povI know that nobody will find me, and apart of me doesn't want them too, I don't want to see their faces again: id rather die. I've been here for so long that I barely know when its day and night and the Scorpos don't help, they party all night and it makes my head hurt. I'm hungry, cold and haven't had any proper sleep for a long time, I'm not sure how long it's even been since I was kidnapped with Calvin, fuck Calvin, I hope he's ok.The last time I saw him he was unconscious after we got caught off the road, I hope someone found him in time. The last time Jaxon came in here, I heard some noise outside of the door, and knowing him he probably did put an extra lock on the stupid door. I keep telling them all that I don't know anything, either that or I don't answer at all, but its taking a toll on my body and mind and I definitely know if I don't give in soon I will die, but I've accepted tha

Dahlia povThere's a sudden knock at the door and its not like I can answer it so I leave it to the Scorpos, who don't seem to be happy about the arrangement. They don't stop knocking, persistent much? Avery gets up and sighs she goes over to the door and opens it. She just stands there, doesn't talkThe person at the door obviously is a stranger, because he tries to hit on her, but as Avery just ignores it, staring at them, "hi cutie, what's your name?From what I can tell, Avery just keeps blinking slowly at the person in the doorway, until they speak up again, this time with an actual sentence. "Okay then, I'm looking for Dahlia." the voice is Jace, and his arrogant behaviour towards Avery makes her even more hostile.But Edison, Link and Avery don't know who he is. I get up from the chair I was sitting at and go up to a place I know nobody can see me from the door. Avery still doesn't say a word, and jace just stands there, t
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter Twenty: Wake me before
Dahlia povYou never really feel the pain until your mind processes it and your world finally turns upside down, and im sure if you ask anyone who has been abused they will always say that it never really does get better, they just learn to lie with the thoughts encasing their mind every day, pain doesn't care if you are with family or friends, it doesn't care that you might be happy for the first time in months or years, it doesn't care about you, and it never will.its not like you can say 'hey pain fuck off' because I don't think It will listen to you. Maybe with time things will heal, but the scars remain for eternity, and they will always remain there, they will be the thing that hurts most. Its a reminder that, the thing you might be running from, is always going to follow you, whether you like it or not, you cant outrun your past, it's faster than you, stronger than you, and most definitely can be the thing that kills you in the end. Your past wi
