Start from the beginning
                                        

They both sat down to eat and Owen started to wake up after drinking some of the apple juice that Mark placed in front of them.

We all had finished eating, I told the kids that Mark and I will be going out today so Tiana or Tia, as the kids call her, will be watching them today. The twins were excited but Luke only nodded his head with an okay, since he didn't know her like the kids did.

A ding sounded from my back pocket where my phone was pulling it out I saw I had two messages one from Ryan and one from Tiana. I decide to open Ryan's first.

Messages from Ryan:

H is Hope
R is Ryan

R: Hope you're getting ready, we're picking you up at 1 o' clock.

H: Ok👍

Message from Tiana:

T: When did you want me to come to watch the kids

H: Come around 12 because we leave at 1

T: It's 10 now so I'll be there in 2 hrs

After I sent my replies I told Mark to put on his swimsuit and when we're leaving. So until we left me, Mark, and the kids played in the game room until the guys came to pick us up. Sometime in between games Tiana joined us and started to play games with the kids.

I look at the time and see it's 11:05 so I started to pack my big purse that looks like a beach bag with things I might need including sunblock, extra beach towels, sunglasses and my laptop (just in case I get bored).

It's now 11:59 and as soon and the clock stroke 12, I heard the doorbell ring. Opening it I'm greeted with Ryan.

"Hey, you look great the guys are in the car, ready to go?"

"Yeah just let me get my things," say.

"I got it, let's go," Mark said from behind me with my bag in his hand. I grab it from him and tell the kids bye and Mark and I get into the back seat with Ryan me in the middle and the boys on either side of me. Tyler shared a look with Ryan but just shrugged and drove off toward the beach. There was an awkward silence in the car so I put my earbuds in to listen to music, the music was loud but not loud enough for me not to here the boys when they started to question Mark but I pretended that I couldn't hear them.

"Soo... Mark can I ask you something?" Tyler asked from the driver seat of his Hummer Jeep.

"You just did," Mark answered with a sly smile and put his arm over my shoulders, I look over to him then out the window resuming in eavesdrop.

"Does Hope know that you're in a gang," Tyler asks ignoring his comment but gives a look into the rear view mirror at seeing his arm around me.

"Yes, does she know that you are to oh and by the way, you guys terrible liers even J agreed with me on that night," he said chuckling.

"What is he talking about," Ryan asks but doesn't get a response from anyone because they continue with their conversation.

"What are you doing with us anyways we only invited Hope, not you," Tyler said while Hunter was listening to the conversation but Ryan stayed confused.

"Maybe because it's natural for a girl to ask her boyfriend to join her when hanging around other males," Mark smugly replied.

"YOUR DATING HER!" Ryan all but replied almost killing my ears if I hadn't had my earbuds in.

"No, because I definitely didn't just say that," was Marks sarcastic reply along with an eye roll.

"But aren't you like thirty something," Hunter finally said something.

I could see the that Mark was holding himself back from choking Hunter who is sitting right in front of him, Mark really hates it when people get his age wrong mainly when that age is above his actual one.

"No, I'm twenty-one," Mark calmed himself probably not wanting to have witnesses when he kills Hunter later.

Hunter shrugs and mutters, "whatever."

"Now let's answer my questions, where were you two actually at on that night," Mark acts turning serious.

"Why would we tell you, you'd problem tell J, who would tell my father then get us into more trouble for lying," Hunter explained why their not telling.

"Ok, fine don't tell me but either way, me and J could have called bullshit on your lie the night you told your dad that pathetic lie, but we didn't, so are you going to tell me now."

"Nope," Tyler said stopping the car.

I take out my earbuds, "Are you guys going to sit hear or are we going to get out," I say to them and motion for Mark to open the door.

I was going to make this into a longer chapter but then thought otherwise and decide that the next one will be!

Questions...?

What's with all the questions in the car towards Mark?

and...

Why won't they tell Mark what happened? We're they embarrassed they got beat up and knocked out?
