Chapter 16

I stand at the entrance of the alley for a moment, looking down at the phone, it has one contact named 'Mom...' I instantly ring it, feeling hopeful, the other person answers within two rings,
"Hello Courtney." I hear a familiar voice say, this is the real gang leader, I feel oddly nervous but confident at the same time,
"Why did you put the contact in as mom?" I ask, walking slowly towards the apartment,
"Well it would be obvious if I was put as 'gang leader' wouldn't it?" He laughs,
"I believe I have you at a huge disadvantage, what is your name?" I question. He pauses for a few moments,
"Let's keep it at that disadvantage. Keep this phone close, answer it whenever it rings, if your with them say you need to go to the toilet or some shit like that. I don't care, just get the money before the raid." He mutters, then hangs up, leaving me gawping at the phone like a fish. I slip the phone into the pocket of my jeans, then I realise how obvious it looks. I look around and see no one, then I quickly slip it into my bra.
The lift opens as soon as I get to the top and I see Michael grinning at me,
"And she returns! You were gone for so long!" He practically shouts, I laugh, but it sounds odd and nervous, he quirks up an eyebrow at me in confusion, but then grabs the bags from my grip. I look down at my hands and realise the plastic has cut slightly into my skin, I sigh and follow Michael into the kitchen, where the rest of the boys are.
"Card." Ashton says, outstretching his hand out for me, I pass the card and the receipt to him, and he scans down the list.
"You got pizza yes!" Calum says, I bought 4 pizzas considering they were on a deal. I just shopped like I usually would, going for all the cheap options.
"I think this is the least we've ever spent on shopping, yet we got exactly the same as we usually get." Luke says, looking at me, I just smile,
"You get used to living on a budget." I shrug. Luke frowns to himself, but smiles a small smile when he sees me looking,
"Can you shop more often for us?" Michael says excitedly, like a kid at Christmas. I laugh but nod, Ashton is putting away the food items systematically, I honestly think he as ocd.
"I'm so bored!" Calum groans, it's a Sunday evening, and nothing is on the television, and after playing Fifa for an hour, they got bored.
"What did you usually do. Like before I came?" I ask shyly, they all look at each other,
"We went...out, bars and stuff." Calum shrugs,
"Don't let me stop you, I'm fine being here by myself." I reply quickly, I need some time to talk to Mr. Gang leader anyway.
"I'm down for it." Michael says standing up. Ashton reluctantly agrees but Luke bites his lip nervously, even when they're all ready to go,
"I'll be fine, seriously. I need to catch up on Keeping up with the Kardashians anyway." I quickly say, as convincingly as possible, he pulls a face at my choice of television program and then leaves.
As soon as I hear the lift stop, signalling they've reached the bottom, I jump up from where I am sitting, and run into my room, where I immediately call the only number on this phone.
"Problem. How am I supposed to get the money?" I say as soon as the other line picks up.
