⚠️!TRIGGER WARNING!⚠️ - Use and mention of drugs (mild) [This will be the last warning like this as the majority of the chapters to follow have mentions of drugs, suicidal thoughts and other heavy topics. However if it is really heavy I will of course put a TW]

Isla's P.O.V

"What the fuck were you thinking Isla!? This shit again?" Joe yelled at me. It was around ten o'clock and I had woken around half an hour ago on the couch. Maddie and Joe have been shouting at me in turns for the last twenty minutes when they found me awake. Jay just sat on the other couch eating cereal and ignoring us.

"I'm sorry, okay? I never meant to. Besides nothing happened and I won't do it again!" I tried to reason but they never moved from where they stood in front of me with their arms folded. "You bet it won't. Next time it does I will be phoning Collin and you know how he'd react. He thought you had gotten better. So did everyone. Clearly fucking not." Maddie said and looked at me with the most disappointed look. I get it, I'm a fuck up. No shit.

"Look guys, yelling won't help. We'll just have to keep a closer eye on her, okay?" Jay finally came into the conversation. They always save me. I smile and nod in agreement as Mads and Joe just look at me wearily.
"Hmm, well if anything like this happens again, I will kick your arse so fast into rehab you won't get a chance to protest. Understood?" Joe said and glared at me.

I just nodded and my eyes filled with tears thinking of my last time in rehab. They looked at me with sympathy and gave me a group hug.

"I'm sorry for working so much guys. I wish I could be home more" My Dad said as he looked at us with so much sadness in his eyes it made me want to cry.

"It's okay Dad, I love staying at Jess' and as much as I miss you I know you need to work." Logan said and got up to give him a hug. I nod in agreement and go to get up to join them when the waiter comes to take our order.

Dad finally had the next three days off and decided to take us out for dinner. Due to it being Sunday night it was quite busy but we managed to get a seat. I looked at my family and although I was smiling and felt happy I couldn't help as the dread and sadness began to creep up.

Ash's P.O.V

"They're real name is Jeremy Orcato. They work for our rivals the 'SharpBlades' who are currently the main drug suppliers for high-schoolers which are causing some deaths and hospitalisations. Not to mention how addictive the pills they are selling are." Via lists off from their notes as they give me intel on that Buzz person I got for them last night.

"You're telling me that this "new gang" called themselves 'The SharpBlades'?" I ask and try not to laugh but when they nod their head I burst out laughing. "What a stupid fucking name, and I thought ours was bad. Oh my fucking God." I laugh harder when Via glares at me.

"Our name isn't that bad." She starts but I give her a look that says 'that's bullshit'. "Fine it is quite shit. Anyways, more important matters to attend to here Ash, like kids dying. Or did you miss that part?" They asked and I became serious again and shook my head.

"So what's the plan?" I ask and she starts to tell me when Ruby came in followed by a puppy. "Awe, you did get a puppy!" I said and kneeled down to pet it. "Looks like a staffy. It a staffy?" I ask and look up at Ruby who nods with a massive smile on her face.

"Knew he'd be a distraction." Via mumbled and I stood back up. "But look at his little face babe, how can you blame him?" Ruby asks and picked up their puppy. Via failed to hide her smile as Ruby sat on the desk next to her with the puppy on her lap.

"Anyway, as I was saying. We will get as much information out of him and then send him back to the Blades with a message. Their gang is of course smaller than ours so they should feel threatened and if not then we take care of it. You and Sasha go to the warehouse where he's kept and get that information. Then I want him sent back hanging by a thread. Understood?" She asks in a very serious tone. "Understood, boss." I reply with a head nod and walk out and look for Sasha. Todays going to be fun.
