After I'd ended the phone call the Indiana boy was inspecting the pills "What are these even for?" he asked "They'll bring you to a happy place" I said "Babe, this is LA, nothing will make you happier than sunset blvd. rock n' roll, you don't need pills to be happy.'' he said. I smiled, saying 'okay then'

Everyone finished their cigarette and we went back in. i saw a guy with big black curly hair standing in a corner checking me out with a smile on his face. He kinda scared me to be honest. i knew no one here and everyone seemed to know each other, I kinda felt like an outcast here right now. I wanted to get away from this crowd. So I did. I sneaked out, no one was noticing because everyone only had eye for the person in front of them. I walked to the round-a-bout where Steven and I met that evening. There was no one to be seen so I decided to walk on the road, which for some reason felt like freedom.

"Baily wait!" I heard someone behind me. I turned around, I saw Axl somewhere in the distance. He wasn't far away, but there was some distance. "hey" i said. I stood still, he was walking towards me. Just now I realised how attractive he actually was. "MOVE?!" he shouted, running up to me. I was very confused. He ran up to me and pushed me away. There were sounds of squeaking brakes all over the neighbourhood.

Just seconds after I realised what had happened. I was laying on top of Axl in the grass beside the road. A car, driven by some drunk teens, with no lights on almost hit me. And Axl saved me.

"Thanks" I said. "No problem." "No seriously, you saved my life."

We stood up.

"Why did you leave?" he asked. "I just felt like I didn't belong there, and there was a really creepy guy who kept staring at me." "what do you mean, you felt like you didn't belong?" "i don't know, everyone seemed to know each other and I don't know anyone." "you just need to settle in, make some friends. I know how you feel, I went through the same stuff" "yeah well, I'm not so good in making friends" i said under my breath. "what?" "nothing" I said. "you wanna go to a park and sit there for a while?" Axl asked.

We walked to this really beautiful park that had a really big nice lake.

In the distance U heard a woman cry and scream "help!" "I'm sorry Axl, but my duty is calling." "I'll help" We ran up to where the noise can from and quickly figured out that is was a girl getting raped. "give me your flannel" I said to Axl. He did. "If you do the guy, I'll handle the girl" "sounds like a plan"

Axl started to attack the guy and tore he away form the girl. I walked up to her and hugged her and I kept telling her that everything would be okay. She was crying and shaking and I felt so bad for her. "Here, put this on" I said, handing her the flannel. It was oversized so it covered everything. She was still crying so I hugged her again. I walked with her to a bench and sat her down. I looked over at Axl "I'll be right bac babe, everything will be okay."

I walked over to Axl. "KEVIN! oh my fucking god. you didn't!" "you know this guy?" Ax asked. "yes, he's my brother." I took out m phone and called the police. "Yes hello, my brother just raped a girl, he needs to go to jail. Axl; they're asking for the name of the park." I told them all the things, and soon enough they were here. Kevin got taken to the station and so did the girl.

"Did you just safe another girl's life?"
