When I woke up I was in Jess's bed with the clothes I had on from last night. Throwing the duvet off me I quietly tiptoed over the snoring Roland that was on the floor in front of the bed.

All I remember from last night was dancing and talking. Though I do recall me and Mykah having a conversation about what her and Louis had been doing upstairs.

I reached up to the cabinet to get a glass when I accidentally knocked over some plates that had been in my way. The clatter had been so loud that even I cringed.

Jess came walking out of Treys room with an alarmed look in his face.

"What happened?" He asked me looking around for who knows what.

"I just knocked down some plates when I was trying to get a glass.."

It actually sounded a lot more stupid when I said that out loud.

"Too short to reach Ry?"

I punched him in the stomach.

"I'm not short Jess" I said stubbornly.

I was shorter but I wasn't THAT short. I stood at 5'5 and most of the time I wore shoes that made me normal height.

Just then Trey came in with groggy eyes and a limp.

"What happened to you ?" I asked him taking in his appearance. He had a couple of bruises along his arms and I could practically see the struggle in his walk.

He just waved me off. "I'm fine"

"You don't seem fine. Tell me what happened" I demanded.

"Me and Louis were just messing around yesterday. It's not a big deal. Leave it"

I turned to look at Jess and I saw something flash in his eyes.

"Hey can I talk to you. Now." Without another word he walked out to the front of his condos.

Wordlessly he followed him leaving me standing in the kitchen in disbelief.

What the hell is wrong with them. Lately Trey has been acting distant and snappy. I don't know what is going on with him but he needs to fix because I am not putting up with it.

After having what was as close to a breakfast as I could get. Trey and Jess still hadn't come back from their 'talk'.

Deciding I didn't have time to wait for them I took a shower in Jess's bathroom. I took some of his sweats and stole Roland's keys. He was so hungover he probably wouldn't wake up until tonight.

I didn't know where I was going but I didn't care at the moment. I just decided to wing it until I ended up somewhere.

I ended up at a small cafe that I sometimes came to when I had nothing else to do. It had a nice view overlooking a nearby city that was beautiful at night.

"Hello can I get you something?" A waitress asked me.

"Yea ill take a chocolate coffee and the special."

She scurried off to another table while I returned my gaze to the window.

The little bell rung that meant someone had walked into the cafe. That someone happened to be Mykah.

I waved at her and she sat down across from me.

"You don't seem hungover" she said inspecting me.

"Yea I have a secret. We don't do hangovers." I said laughing.

"Seriously! You have to teach me because I swear I have the worse hangovers."

"It's a trick my mom aunt taught me. Just drink a glass or two of water before you go to bed to wash it down. No hangover."

"Damn. It's that simple?"

"Yep!"

I took a sip of my coffee and a bite of my sandwich.

"Hey can I ask you something?" I looked at her.

"Sure what's up?"

"Was Louis covered in bruises yesterday?"

"Yea he was. And when I asked him about it he was being a dick"

I slammed my hands on the table. "That's exactly what happened to me this morning. Told me to leave it. I didn't even have time to tell at him before him and Jess were walking out the door to god knows where"

"Louis wasn't there when I woke up so they must have gone to the same place. "

Just then my phone rang. It was Trey. "Speak of the devil. Would it be weird if I yelled at him in a cafe?"

"Nah don't think so" she said with a chuckle.

I pressed the answer key and put the phone up to my ear. "So look who wants to talk to me-"

"Ryan I need you to get home. Now"

That caught me off guard. "W-what are you?-"

"Ry I need you to trust me."

I looked up at Mykah but she was rigorously texting someone with a worried look on her face.

"Oh-ok but why?"

"I'll tell you when you get home. Just go now!"

I grabbed my bag of food and what little money i had left. Shoving my phone and cash in my pocket I turned to Mykah.

"I have to go. I-"

"Me too." She said "Louis was worried and he's scaring me. But I don't have a car and-"

"It's ok you can come with me. But were going straight to my house."

She nodded and we ran out to Ro's car. My house was not too far from here and we could make it if I drove fast. My thoughts then drifted to my brother who was still at Jess and treys house, but I pushed it to the back of my mind and stepped on the gas.

We stopped at a red light and I groaned in frustration. Of course the one time I have to be somewhere there's a goddamn red light.

After what seemed like hours the light finally turned green. I heard Mykah breathe a finally. I started to turn the left onto my street when I heard a screech from behind us. A black sedan was speeding towards us. I turned the wheel to get out of the way but the car mirrored our actions.

Before I knew it the truck was barreling into us from behind.

I don't know what else happened but all I knew was that there was a lot of glass and a lot of rolling. The next thing I knew someone was picking me up and throwing me in the trunk of the truck.

Then there was black.
