Alex's POV..."She's over there," I say as I gaze at Sebastian."Ok. Thanks," Sebastian says before he walks away from us, and making his way to Rachel.I watch Sebastian approaching Rachel. He starts talking with her, and even though I couldn't hear what they're talking about, it already bothers me to know that this guy keeps trying to get into Rachel's life in every aspect. As they continue to talk, Alfredo walks in while also holding a bouquet of white roses."Who are they?" Nate ask as he starts to stare at Sebastian who is talking with Rachel."The new students at college who smells like trouble," I say."Where are they from?" Nate ask."Las Vegas," I say.Liam starts glancing at Sebastian and Alfredo as we watch them talk with Rachel and Mark. "How long have they known each other?""A few days. But damn, they've been trying to get into her life too fast," I say with an annoyed tone."So Rachel literally has only known them for a few days?" Jack ask."Yeah," I say.Liam starts to

Alex's POV....My eyes slowly flutters open as I hear the sound of crying from a familiar voice. I see Rachel crying on my right side while kneeling down beside the bed. She has her face covered with her arms placed on his bed as she cries."Rachel?" I say as I stare at her who is crying beside me.Rachel turns her head and is surprised to see that I am awake. She wipes her tears with her thumb as she stares at with a shocked look."You're...you're ok?" Rachel ask with a surprised look. I knew she had been crying for a while since her hazel eyes looks really puffy. The thought of her crying for me actually made my heart broken. I never wanted to see Rachel crying, especially because of me. "I'm ok," I say as I stare into her beautiful eyes that are filled with tears. The sight of it already kills me slowly. "Don't cry. I'm alright.""You are hurt! Just look at you," Rachel says. She starts to study the bruises on my arm like the typical over-protective mother."These bruises just nee

Rachel's POV....I stood in silence as I find myself surprised to what I just heard."Alex..." "I know it sounds surprising, to ask you to join a gang. I promise I won't let anyone lay a finger on you. I'll teach how to fight and even shoot. I just don't want you to get into danger out there," Alex says as he stares deeply into my eyes."Alex...it's all so sudden. The guys, will they be ok with that?" I ask."They are all welcomed to have you! We even asked our leader, Chad, and he was happy with the idea," Alex says. "He's been wanting to find female members for the squad." I stood in silence as I stare into Alex's eyes with mixed feelings. Though I would still be surprise if I ever find myself becoming a part of a gang, yet a part of me really wanted to join. Why? Not only because I want to spend every time with Alex (yeah, I do). But other than that, I also want to learn how to protect myself. I want to fight for myself, and I want to know who were the people that took away my ha

Jack's POV...I stopped running when I realize that I had lost Rachel in the crowd. Damn, this is dangerous! That girl is being after by a mysterious criminal, and she just ran away due to a heart break. This is a disaster.I quickly grab my phone from my pocket. I tried to call her a few times but she didn't pick up. I sigh as she didn't answer my 5th call. Realizing that she's not gonna pick up my calls anytime sooner, I decided to call the guys. I put my phone back in my pocket. I was about to walk through the large crowd, when I almost bump into a couple who are holding their ice creams. It's Alex, and his girlfriend, obviously."Jack!" Alex looks at me with a surprised look. He looks like he is frozen to death as his eyes widens at the sight of me. I guess he didn't want me to caught him like this? Whatever."I'm surprised to see you here," I stare at him with a sharp look, and feeling way too irritated. I would have smack him right now for making Rachel ran away, but I had to l

8:55 PM....Rachel's POV..."Hey! I was wondering if we could talk for a moment?" Alex ask. His soft voice tinkles through my ears."Ok," I answer casually. "Where?""The garden." Alex leads me to the garden to have a private talk, away from the boys.We enter the garden and close the door of the house. The two of us standing as we look at each other face to face. It's been a while since we last have some alone time together."So, what is it?" I ask him.Alex looks down on the ground with a guilty look. His face looks like he's trying to put together the right words to explain. "I just want to apologize to you. I should have told you about what I'm going through in the first place," Alex says. "I shouldn't have lied to you about it."I let out a sigh as I stare at Alex with disappointment and shock. I didn't expect him to apologize to me this way, and that it was done unexpectedly. Honestly, I'm still disappointed by him, but looking at him tonight face to face reminds me on how much
