kiss and tell

1- Threatened

'But you will remember me, remember me for centuries..'

When my favorite song by Fall Out Boy starts playing I know it's my mom again. She's been calling for the past 30 minutes, and I know she's worried. Of course I left. I made mom a promise 2 years ago. As soon as she hit me I would leave. Not forever but for 24 hours or so. I know she never meant to hurt me, but I'm also smart enough to understand it's wrong.

The road is empty. Like always. That's why I always choose this street while wanting to take a minute for myself. Apparently this street were mostly a waste of space, but no one had the time nor energy to remove it. The street lights seems tired. The flickering light disturbs my eyes. I'm on my way to the closed drugstore, which is closed. That's where I go when mom freaks out. Even though nothing's in there it's warm and cosy. And when the road got closed the store did too. But I found away to kick the door open some months ago, so now it's always open.

When I reach the drugstore I notice the lights are turned on in there. Which they never are, since no one tend to be here.

Of course I want to check it out. The last 9 months this store has been my safe house. And somehow someone is in there, and shouldn't be.

By putting my hand over my eyes, squinting them I can see about 5 shadow in there. I can only see their backs and the lights in there are flickering and muted, just like the street lights.

I open the door carefully, trying not to make the bell sound go off. I listen.

"What the fuck, Jacob! That was the dumbest thing you've ever done, what were you thinking!", A dark voice says.

"And if I didn't kill him what would he do, huh? He would fucking tell the cops, and we'll be arrested, Mason, 'kay?", Another one says.

I move forward a bit to hear them better, but by mistake I slowly push the door, until the bell goes off.

They all look at me with surprised looks. And they all are handsome and muscular.

"Fucking get her, she heard what we talked about!", One of them says standing up.

Like a reflex I let the door handle go and starts running for my life. Obviously these guys weren't good news and I know they could do bad things to me. The best thing were to run.

The cold air kissed my face as I'm running through the darkness. I can hear footsteps behind me, but I tend to focus on getting away more.

Suddenly a pair of strong arms grabs my waist, and drags me backwards.

"Hello, there, little thief", he says while I'm staring into his gorgeous eyes.

He lifts me up and puts me on his shoulder while walking back to the others. He puts me on a chair and holds my shoulders so I won't be able to stand up.

"Mason, get me some ropes", he says.

"I swear, I didn't hear anything I was just-", I tried explaining but he cut me off.

"I don't give a flying fuck about you, okay? Why are you here?", he asks and receives the ropes from Mason. He takes my hands in one grip and puts ropes on them, so they burn my skin. "Ouch, it hurts...", I tell him, but I know that he doesn't care. "Shut up", he says.

I look around in the store and notice that there's no difference than it's been all the other times I've been here. Only that this time I'm not at the floor, alone, listening to my favorite music from my iPhone. No, this time I'm tied to a chair, in the middle of the store, being asked questions.

"Hey, slut, what about answering our questions, huh?", The guy who put the ropes on said.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I heard behind, at the same time as a door opened. Wow, another guy. I thought these guys were enough.

I close my eyes thinking about the lyrics in Rihanna's song 'FourFiveSeconds'. Mostly just trying to think bout something else. Now I know that you're home tonight. Thinking, how could I be so reckless.. But I just can't apologize. I hope you can understand...

"Colton, we were just..", Mason said.

"I don't want your fucking apologizes, m'kay? Who is she?", my eyes are still closed.

"She overheard us talking about the corpse", he said.

"Here's what we're going to do", Colton says walking so he's in front of me, squatting so he's on my level.

As fast as he saw my face his jaw dropped.

"We'll not kill you", I exhale, "But you'll join us."

"Colton, what are you-" Mason tried saying but Colton held up his hand, making him stop in the middle of the sentence.

"We are PradaFakers. Let's say we aren't angels. We rob, we kill and we have some temper. You'll join us, and do some of the dirty work, so you can't turn us in, cause you're a part of us. Okay?", Coltons says, looking me in the eyes, with his perfect eyes.

"Do I have a choice?", I ask them.

"No, gorgeous, you don't."
