"Dakota what's going on?"

I can practically feel the crescent moons that I've dug into my palms, Treyton unclenches my hands gently. "What's wrong?", He asks softly

"I have to go"

He frowns as he holds my arm, "What? Why?"

I get off of Treyton and he follows, "Dakota-

"No stop, you just don't get it"

"Why do you have to go, because of him?" He scoffs

"You know it's not like that-

"Then what? Dakota you don't have to do what he says-

"This is not about doing what he says it's about doing what's right" I say annoyed

I put on my jacket before standing there for a moment and closing my eyes, I have the urge to cry but I just can't do that right now. "What do you mean what's right. Whatever right is this can't be it-

I tie my hair back, "Trey just stop"

I feel sick and tired, and I know that Treyton is worried about me but his constant theories about Khalil are just aggravating. I so badly wish that I could tell him but I won't, right now I have something that needs to be sorted out. And hopefully after this I can feel some sort of peace.

"Dakota he is dangerous and violent, his relatives are in a gang for fuck sake-

I frown as I turn away from the elevator, "How do you know that"

"Because I-... I just do-

"No don't lie to me"

"I just do ok!-

"Treyton" I say seriously

"That's not the point-

I scoff, "Oh my God"

"Dakota-

"You background checked him", I realise

Treyton sighs and I fold my arms, "Let me guess. Justus was involved too"

"It was my idea-

I scoff bitterly "I can't believe you....after I told you to drop it you still went and looked into him, what happened to trusting me!-

"How can I trust you when you told me that you fell off a porch... a porch Dakota. Do you think I'm stupid?!-

"Just leave me alone"

"Dakota if he's hurting you-

"He's not hurting me!" I finally yell

Without waiting for a response I leave. I leave because I'm hurt, I'm sad, I'm angry, I'm heartbroken and there's this giant hole in my heart that won't go away. I need my mother, but that's on the list of impossibles

I was in tears by the time that I made it downstairs, Tony even stopped me on my way out to ask if I was ok. Why does that question only make me want to cry more?

I put on a false smile, "I'm fine... just gonna get a taxi"

"Is everything alright with you and Mr Lee?"

"Yeah he's just um... he's not feeling well so I'm gonna go to the store real quick"

I know he knows that I'm lying but he also knows that he can't force the truth out of me so he let me go. Thankfully the minute I got out there was a taxi driving by and I immediately called out to the driver, I gave an address and we were off in seconds. I saw Treyton rush out of the elevator and head over to Tony who then gestured to the taxi that I'm currently in...but it was already too late.
