Charles

A loud banging was heard throughout the whole room.

"We know you're in there, might as well open the door." A deep voice said.

I grabbed my pocket knife and put it in my Timberland boot. I grabbed my rifle and gripped it tight.

I saw Nash looking at me with worry. I jiggled my rifle in my hand and he nodded.

He, (Nash,) grabbed his rifle and passed it to Taylor. He hid it behind him and nodded at Nash.

I unlocked the door and opened it.

Hayes

"I'm scared." Em whispered with fear in her voice. I grabbed her hand and held it tight in mine. "I'm gonna protect you, no matter what happens." I whispered, looking into her eyes. She smiled.

Charles unlocked the door and let the guys in.

A guy came in with two other (guys.) "My, my what fine group of people we have here." The, what I'm guessing, leader said, eyeing the girls up and down.

I felt Em grip my hand tighter. "You can't have em'." Charles replied angrily. "Calm down, not like your gonna keep em' for long." The leader said surprised.

He looked around and saw us staring him down.

"Oh, how rude not to introduce myself. Names Nicky. And these guys are Marcus and David." Nicky said pointing to the guys behind him.

"You're not taking anyone." Taylor said firmly. "Now who are you?" Nicky said "smartly." "No of your business that's who I am." He retaliated.

"That didn't even make sense." I whispered. "Shut up." He whispered annoyed.

"If you guys don't want to give up the girls, you have two choices, you either give up one of them, or give up the house." Nicky said.

"I'll volunteer." Ariana said, and stepped up. "No. Don't do it, just give up the house." Matt pleaded. "Are you crazy? Why give up this house, Ariana's made up her mind. She wants us to live." Shawn told him. "I agree. If she wants to do it then let her." Cam said stepping up from behind him, (Shawn, if ya' didn't know.)

"Plus I want to do this. I'm not gonna let some guys take my house. This is where I met you guys." She said, smiling at the last part.

Matt grabbed Ariana's hand and pulled her into his arms.

"You're the bravest girl I know. I love you." He said, and gave her a kiss on the lips. "I love you too Matt." She said as she caressed his cheek.

She left his grasp and walked over to Nicky and his gang.

"Made a good choice." He said, and left with the house with Ariana in his grasp.

"I hope you guys are happy. Hope you guys are damn happy about Ari leaving! All you wanted her to do WAS leave! This is all of your faults! Especially you, you little bitch!" Matt said walking up to Em, almost slapping her but I pushed him away.

"Don't fricking touch her." I hissed at him.

The guys came and stood in front of him.

"What are you guys doing?" He said in disbelief. "Carter, aren't you my best friend. You're supposed to stand by me."

"Not when I know you're decision is wrong. This isn't you. And we all know that. Ariana made you change. She made you turn against your own best friends. You might not of noticed it but we obviously did." Carter said, clearly ashamed of Matthew.
