Chapter 8

Recap:

"I'll only give you back your phone if you tell me what the FUCK IS GOING ON" I scream at him.

"Ok, ok I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I get off Ashton's back and lie on his bed, handing him his phone as I do so. He gets up, groaning in pain, and glares at me but I think he's kinda (HOT THO) impressed. He sits down by my feet and sighs, burying his face in his hands. Whatever his big secret is, it must be important.

"Ok, I'll start at the beginning" he says, looking up at me.

I nod, signalling for him to go on.

"When I was 16, a dude attempted to mug me.. but being me" he smirks ".. I fought him off and managed to knock him out. Two days later this other dude came up to me and told me one of his friends had seen me fight the mugger and had said I was good" Ashton swallows and looks down at the floor. "He asked me if I wanted to join his... Street fighting gang"

I stare at him, shocked

"I said sure" he continues "and I introduced him to the boys and well... here we are"

"You're part of a... street fighting gang"

"Actually I'm the.. um ... leader of the gang"

"...What"

"Well Jacob moved away and I'm the next best fighter, so... yeah"

"So you fight other gangs for... money?"

"No, we.. uh, fight for turf."

"...oh"

There's a long pause. Suddenly an alarm beeps on Ashton's phone. "Aw shit I'm meant to be at training" He says, grabbing runners and sports gear and throwing them into a bag. He's about to walk out the door when... "I'm coming with you" I say. "You can't" he says turning around.

"I'll tell Anne Marie"

"You bitch"

I get up and slowly walk towards the door.

"Okay! fine but just this once"

I run and get changed into black leggings, a black sports bra, a loose grey racer back shirt, black nike runners and Ashton's leather jacket. I grab my bag and a water bottle and run downstairs and outside into Ashton's truck.

"What did you tell Anne Marie?" I ask.

"That we're going to the gym and then staying over at a friends for the night"

"Oh, ok"
