"Heidi." Justin says as he walks inside her dorm, only he finds it empty.
Where could she be, she doesn't really like being out much, and with who most importantly. He whispers to himself.
"What are you doing here?" Heidi spoke appearing by the door.
"I came to talk, Well more like apologize." Justin explained
I lift my left eyebrow and don't say a word.
Him apologizing? Yeah unbelievable.
But might as well and hear this so he can call it good as always.
"Are you not talking to me again?" He asked
"I'm waiting for your so called apology." I state.
I could already feel the tension rising, we were going to so get into another argument.
Maybe him and I only worked better as friends, at the beginning I hated him, and look at us dating it's not any better than when we met.
He's so egoistic.
"Well I don't know what exactly I'm apologizing for, but apparently girls always want to hear that they are right and boys are always wrong" he argued.
"Excuse me, if that's what you call an apology it's pathetic." I blurt out , "and also girls aren't like that. This time your the main problem." I state.
He looked stunned by my sudden outburst, but honestly I didn't give a shit.
"Sorry, fine let me try again." Justin says rolling his eyes.
Jerk.
"I'm sorry for sending Lance, I know you think that's wrong but when being in my gang you have to fight guys, and well I guess you didn't find that helpful." He states
"It's my gang also." I reply
"Seriously you a-"
I cut him off and don't let him finish.
"Do you even know how a relationship works?" I ask
He just stares at me for a moment, "Look, you are the very first girl I have ever even mentioned to the gang, every other girl the boys just saw me with never met them, but you're different and I'm sorry, I've never committed this is new to me."
Kennedy comes through the door, before I can even say a word.'
"AJ and I are dating!!!" She screams out
I chuckle and give her a hug.
"Congrats, I'm happy for you." I say
"Thanks, I'm so happy." She says, and she looks at Justin, "Um, I'm sorry did I interrupt?"
"No." I smile, and Justin gives me a look, "Justin was just leaving."
I say as I close the door in his face.
"Hey, do you by chance know when we can go see that condo?" I ask
"I think we can go tomorrow, I'm so excited!!" She squeals
Honestly it was about time we moved, Kennedy and I would split rent and I found this beautiful condo by the beach.
I was certainly not going to miss that chance, so I wanted to see it as soon as possible.
"When are you also getting your new car?" Kennedy asks me
"I am working on that, first I want to get get everything else settled, then I'll look for a new car."
I was trying to make changes in my life, I had money and I wanted another car.
—
I met the gang back at our house, Justin sent us a message, strange though since Kennedy got none.
I was not that excited, usually I stay and help from the offices, and not go with them, but Justin wanted me to attend which was really strange.
"Alright everyone lets head to the weapons room and gear up!" Justin ordered, like hello I'm supposed to take charge also, I don't even seem like a leader here, just one of your puppets.
We headed to the weapons room, lucky for me with the training I'd done, and with Cole around I knew the different weapons, gadgets everything they used and how they worked.
Justin told us what to get.
I had no idea why he wanted us to always carry handguns.
We were never in danger, well at least I never was.
Anyways as I grabbed one I looked towards Justin who was getting knives.
What kind of mission was this?
Once they were set Justin looked my way.
"Come on princess." He says
I give him a dirty look and make my way outside, Cole comes next to me.
"What mission is this? And why am I involved?" I ask
"I don't know why he is bringing you along, maybe it's not such a mission." Cole states.
I shrug, and we all make our way to the armed cars, the other gang members weren't here so that meant it was only us.
Something was definitely off, I didn't feel so good about this.
We get off in another side of town, it's literally creepy, I see some guy, not being able to recognize him, we all keep walking towards him.
I stay behind them all as we approach, Lance was here.
Oh great.
He had a man tied up, he was sitting in a chair.
He looked familiar, I didn't know him but he had a resemblance to someone.
What was going on?
"Lance as always amazing work." Justin compliments.
They take off the duct tape not being gentle at all.
I was scared, what were they going to do to him.
And why would he compliment that!?
"Justin I won't do it again I'm sorry, I'll pay back for all I took." The man panicked.
"Yeah, yeah, Whatever." Justin mumbled
He took out the knife, "AJ, Nick" he called them over.
"Do the honors." He says with a smile.
"Heidi come here." Justin ordered.
Oh so now I was Heidi not princess.
I was behind Cole, I walked over to him.
"Hold this" He says handing me the other knife he brought.
I looked at the man, and Nick threw a punch directly at his abdomen.
"I'm sorry but this is what happens when you disrespect me!" Justin yells
AJ cut his cheek, and went further. He stabbed him over and over again.
The man screamed in pain, I didn't know what to do. I wanted to leave I could not see this.
I turned around and started walking away.
"Where are you going?" Justin demands
"To the car." I sassed
"No your not come back here." I didn't move an inch and he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.
"Watch and learn." He says
He grabs my chin and makes me look directly at the guy in pain.
Tears start streaming down his face, I couldn't take it..how cruel could he be.
"Let him go" I yell out and try to move from his hold.
"Heidi be quiet! Your going to see this a lot and you need to be prepared!" Justin screams back at me.
"Justin she doesn't have to see this, just let her go." Cole insists
"Cole Shut up." Justin says
Unbelievable.
Cole came over and tried to pull me away from Justin whom pulled out his gun.
"Cole are you fucking kidding me right now!" He yells
Cole moves back seeing the gun in his hand, but instead he points it directly to the guy tied up.
Is he going to do what I'm thinking?
No, he won't do it.
"No please" The man begged
Justin held the gun to his face and pulled the trigger. I saw blood go everywhere.
I stood there frozen. My clothes had blood, everyone's did.
Tears streamed down my face, how could he.
"Get over it, your going to see a lot of this like I said." Justin said and walked away from me.
Cole came to my side and grabbed my arm gently and pulled me away from the scene.
"Heidi, I'm so sorry. I didn't think he would do that to you." Cole spoke
"H-he is a monster." I reply
"Heidi this isn't meant for you. Not even this toxic relationship." Cole says
He had a point. I didn't want to be around these kind of things.
But if I left, broke up with him would I end up this way also?
"It's okay. I can manage." I say and fake a smile.
I was not going to end up dead just because I didn't want to be with him anymore or at all.
"You shouldn't be scared of him Heidi, we have your back." Cole insists
"No. Cole I'm not letting any of us end up like him!"
Nick and AJ look my way surprised, I just start walking back to the car and sit in the back.
Justin rolls his eyes seeing I didn't go in the front with him.
"Silent treatment? Or what are you playing today?" Justin mocks me.
"I hate you." I mumbled, "Guess if I disrespect you I'll end up that way too."
Not sure whether he heard me or not but I was saved by the guys coming inside the car, claiming everything was set.
I knew what that meant. They got rid of the body.
Nick and Justin laughed the whole ride home, I didn't find anything hilarious about what they did back there.
On the other hand Cole, AJ, and I just shared glances and didn't speak a word the whole ride home.
AJ stops me as I'm pretty much running to my so called room here.
"Hey, I'm really sorry about back there. He gets out of control. I don't know what's going on with him but we got you." AJ gives me a reassuring smile.
"Thank you AJ." I say smiling back.
I take a very long shower, I felt so dirty.
I threw away the clothes I had on, and I went to the dorm.
"Heidi! Are you okay? AJ told me everything." Kennedy says
"I'm okay." I choke out
"Why don't you break up with him?"
"I can't, Kennedy I don't think you should be in the gang, he is going to do the same thing to you." I say
"It's okay I can handle it, he's such a dick though." Kennedy sighs "We need to distract ourselves and I know how."
I had no idea what she was talking about but a distraction was sure something I needed to forget about today.
