"Oh...so she does belongs to you" Hiroshi said still pointing his gun at me, I was too shocked to move out of the way, it's funny how you don't know exactly what to do, your so scared that your frozen, you can't move, you're legs won't let you, your mind won't let you even think about it.

"Don't point your gun at her!" Tom yelled at him, still not answering his question.

"Or what?" Hiroshi said with a sly smile on his face. Tom didn't say anything; he just pointed his gun downwards and shot Hiroshi in the leg, causing him to shoot accidentally as he was falling down to his knees.

I closed my eyes and I was ready for anything. I thought that this was the end but I felt a little wind flow past me. I opened my eyes with a heavy breath and just waited to feel pain in my body. I didn't want to look, I was just waiting for the pain. I couldn't hear or see anything because of the panic I had but to my surprise there was no pain.

At that moment Tom came running towards me as they all started to fire. He rushed into me and we both crashed to the ground. I was still shocked and couldn't even push him away from me while he was on top of me .He stared into my eyes and I could feel his warm breaths on my face.

but his facial expression slowly changed and turned into raging,he got up quickly and grabbed me from the ground. He pushed me hard into his car and I watched them behind the door. George grabbed Gustav and leaned him to his car. Bill was helping those four guys to make a way for themselves to get back to cars . The sound of the gunshot was loud and I couldn't hear Tom properly. He was talking to me but I was looking at Bill, he was running towards us and got to his car but one of those four men that were helping Tom and Bill got shot multiple times and they didn't even care, not even moving a sel to help him.

I screamed and ducked as a bullet went through the window and Tom sped off as the others .

As Tom took a sharp turn I smashed against the side of the car and cried out as my elbow stung in pain and Tom paid no notice. He looked mad, like always and he just drove faster.

I watched out the window and waited for the car to come to a stop. He stopped after a while and I got out of the car in a rush. Ria came running towards me "Lisa are you alright" She said as she was holding back the tears, touching me all over to check to make sure I'm okay.

"I'm fine" I groaned as I pushed away her roaming hands.

She threw her arms around me "Can we go home now?" I said into her hair, my eyes searched for Tom, he was against his car talking with the three boys that were a part of his gang, the two with their girls by their side, I had finally gotten a good glimpse at Morgan.

She had short brunette hair, her eyes were a green color that were surrounded by heavy dark eye-liner.

"I think so"' She said as she pulled away to look at Bill.

"What do you mean you think so" I said annoyed, her best friend was about to get killed and was pretty scared why does she THINK SO?

She ran over to Bill quickly and I watched as Bill pulled her away from the others to talk. I ignored them and turned my gaze back to Tom who was walking around his car, wiping sweat from his forehead that I had noticed before when I was on the ground with my bum on the air. He reached the side and leant down so I could no longer see what he was doing.

it wasn't until I heard him yell "Fuck!" that I realized he was looking at the shot in his car's window.

He leant back up and his eyes were on me right away. My heart banged against my chest real hard, like when something jumps out at you either real life or in a scary movie and I stared at him wide eyed while taking steps backwards, I know he thinks this is my fault. Ria was suddenly beside me again pulling me away from the crowd "Let's go home" She said with worry.

***

It has been almost two weeks or maybe three. i don't know, I don't want to know when it was, I wanted to believe that night never existed. Ria sometimes tries to make me go with her but she knows that after that accident, I would rather die than to be there again.

She still goes to that place and comes home late every night. I begged her and cried out my eyes to not let them know where we live. Eventually she agreed and she goes there by herself every night. I don't want Bill to come here and pick her up. I don't want any of them to know where I lived. i want to live my life safely and happy without any of them in my life.

I don't see her much in the house anymore so I always keep myself distracted. Mostly reading a book or watching movies on TV, and I had found a little bar near our house. When she goes out I usually go there by myself to keep myself distracted.

It's 8:30 and Ria came out of her room, dressed up and I knew where she was about to go. I didn't need to ask. I just stared at her while putting chips in my mouth.

She walked up to me and spine around "How do I look?"

I analyzed hair from head to toes and lifted my eyebrows. Her top was too open that at any moment her tits would jump out of it and her black tight skirt was too short that I could see some of her butt cheeks.

"cute but I can see your whole world under that skirt"

"mhmm " she said, playing with her curly hair.

"Ria.. have you two guys ?... you know "

She looked at me confused but after a few moments she realized and laughed."Oh no. Lisa, trust me you'll be the first one to know that! your my best friend"

" yeahh.." i said trying to keep my cool. as if she wasn't acting all distant and strange for these couple of weeks.

"Ok i'll be going i guess.. "

I nodded but she turned back again, looking nervous."Lisa.."

"Yeah?"

She looked down and stole her gaze from me."Will you .. come with me today? Please, I need you there.."

"Ria" I snapped at her which made her jump out a bit. she nodded and walked up to the door, she already knew my answer but why would she keep asking when she knows i'm not interested.

••Ria's P.O.V••

"Ria got in the car" Bill said, I nodded and silently made my way to the passenger seat.

He started the engine and took off "Where are we going?" I asked, glancing at him wearily.

"Why isn't she coming anymore? It's been over two weeks and she hasn't shown up once, Tom is getting... impatient"

I swallowed "She's not coming back Bill, after that incident.. incidents, I mean, she isn't interested in coming back"

"Tom is going to need a better explanation than that" Bill laughed in a funny way; there was an edge to it, like I was an idiot for not knowing I should give the full story.

"Lisa doesn't like Tom very much...okay ! i'm trying to not use this word but she hates him and after he went to hit her she just isn't interested in coming back, she's stubborn, and has made it clear how she feels about Tom. Oh and the gun incident" I tucked my hair behind my ear.

"Having a gun pointed at her face made her not so much of an outside kind of person anymore" My voice was weak, but I couldn't help it, he made me like this, the man that sat beside me, he made me weak, not just because I had to do everything for him, but also because I swear I was falling in love with him.

I had only known him for over a fortnight and I already felt as if I loved him. I wasn't entirely surprised, I have fallen in love many times, just after a few weeks, Lisa always scolded me, said I was like a little school girl, yet instead of crushes I actually fell in love with the men; idiots in her words.

She was always so strong, always stood by me and made sure the guy I had fallen for this month was good enough for me, then pretended to like them just for me, and she always ran out and got vanilla ice-cream and caramel chocolate during the break-up's. Lisa and I are almost complete opposites, she's never fallen in love, hasn't had a boyfriend in years, she doesn't open up to anyone, never lets a guy get close to her, she hasn't experienced life's treasure's in my words, but she doesn't care, said she doesn't need a man to complete her life, she's always giving me that advice, but I never listened.

People looking in would think I'm an idiot, it's clear he has no feelings for me, he treats all the girls the way he treats me, It should anger me, I know, but it doesn't, it just...ache's.

"But Tom protected her from Hiroshi, he practically humiliated himself for her, and that's never happened before" Bill said with a slight chuckle as if remembering the whole night and his smile made me slightly laugh.

"She doesn't care about one kind act, he was going to hit her, she isn't going to stand for that"

"Ria" Bill snapped, and I stiffened in my seat "You have to get her back here, I've told you over and over and you still haven't brought her" Bill said his voice rising and his hands gripping the wheel tightly that his knuckles were white.

"I've tried Bill, I really have, but she won't give in, she does not want to see you guys again"

but the truth was, i didn't try my best , i didn't want to. I have seen Tom and I don't want him to hurt my little best friend. I love my best friend and I don't want to be the one who hurts her. I should protect her like she does for me.

"I don't care," Bill yelled at me and I slightly winced. I didn't speak, not unless he asked me to, but for now I was just silent, not wanting to anger him anger

"I'm sorry princess" He said his voice softening "It's just you know how much Tom beats into me about getting her here and if she doesn't soon he'll start coming to you, and that wont be pleasant." He was right, Tom was the one I wanted to stay away from the most.

He was dangerous, much worse than the others; already I had seen him kill an innocent man. I hear him sometimes beating up Yumi, she cries and whimpers but always asks him for more, to beat her harder. He would tie her up to his bed and do whatever he pleases to her.

I can't tell if she enjoys it or not but it always creeps me out. It sickened me, he would come out with red sore knuckles and no emotion on his face, no regret and she would come out with bleeding cuts and red bruisers that soon turned into a mix of dark blue, yellow and purple.

But she would run after him, after he beats her she would find a way to get back up and run after him, calling his name and clinging onto him.

He would always do the same thing, push her off him, yell at her, spit at her, and kick her, whatever it was he had to do to release some anger.

I had spoken to her once, whenever I brought up Tom she would brag about how much she loves him and he loves her and how good he is in bed, it was like she was oblivious to the beatings, to the way he really looked at her, like she was an animal.

He looked down on everyone, but the three other men in his gang, he was alpha and he definitely knew that but he treated them three like brothers, to what I saw anyway. But he looked at everyone else like they were nothing, which to him they were. He treated us girls like his slaves, as the others did but he just liked to demand us to do something now and then to show he was in charge, he loved being in charge.
