I wake up from the sun hitting my face and my stomach growling. I grab my black jacket and pull out the herb I stole and I walk over to the drawer and look for a clean t shirt and I find a white one that is my size .

I stuff the plastic bag at the way bottom of the storage compartment and walk into the bathroom and wash my face with the bar of soap they had .

I head down stairs and I hear pans hitting against a stove and I hear Dana talking . Hopefully not Aaron , what an asshole . I don't like him even if did nothing to me or for me .

I finally step on the first floor and I see Dana's eyes glow up when she sees me and I look around to see no one but her . She is talking on the phone with someone and she seems really excited .

" hey Meg imma have to call you back " she says smiling at me .

" good morning .... are you hungry ? " she asks finishing the bacon that were on the skillet .

" uh yeah . Starving " I say sitting at the nice island in the middle of the kitchen .

She laughs lightly and sets a plate filled with bacon , egg whites, pancakes and a bowl of fruit to top it off . She sets it in front of me and I dig in quickly .

" tea ? " she asks .

" yes please ."

She hands me a cup and she stares at me looking like she is waiting for something from me . I look up at her and she is semi smiling , I guess .

" so how have you been , Harold ? " she says taking a quick sip from her hot tea .

" uh you know doing okay ..... I mean I could be doing a lot better but for now okay " I say stuttering a bit bringing my hand to scratch my neck .

She walks over to me and sits in the stool next to me . She sets her cup on the marble counter top .

" Harry tell me what happened last night . ? " she says calmly taking a couple deep breaths .

I told her everything that happened last night from taking the pot from sleeping in my car .

" did you get rid of it ? " she nervously ask "you know if they catch you and they search my house , I could go to jail from keeping a felon of something like that . " her words rambling on .

" yes I threw it away last night after I went to bed , and I have never gotten caught with the possession of pot . I am not on the grid . " I say reassuring her .

" what if that guy Liam tells on you ? " she says

"Dana this is how it works , you snitch you get a bad reputation and how the fvck is gonna tell the cops I was selling weed to a customer and he stole from me " I laugh " he is going to jail before I do "

" okay I just want you to feel welcome , do you have any of your stuff with you . ? " she asks getting up and dumping the rest of the in the sink and washing it out .

" well my car is useless , I broke my phone last night and all my clothes are at my now pyshco  girlfriend's apartment ." I explain

" um do you wanna try to go get some of your clothes and you know your stuff in general. " Dana asks me .

I go up stairs and take a quick shower and put on the white t-shirt and my black pants from yesterday.

" let's go ." She said

As we are driving in to my neighborhood Dana is getting really scared from all the mean glares and the poverty I am practically living in .

" so where is it . ? " she asks driving about 5 mph .

" up there make a left " I say

She drives a bit more till we come to a complete stop . I unlock the door and she stares at me like don't leave me .

" would you like to come up here real quick ? " I ask her gently.

" yeah ... Yeah " she swallows the lump in her throat.
We walk up the steps to my apartment and I knock three times on the chipped wooden door .

Dana's POV

As I walked up the stairs for some reason I was really scared like something felt off . Every one that was outside just gave us a blank stare . My anxiety level is sky rocketing. I held on to my keys and phone tightly as the door opened , it was a red headed girl that looked like she was crying her eyes out she doesn't  say anything when we walk in side . We turn into a hallway and she gets pulled to the side fast .

I gasp and I feel Harry's hand feel my waist and I hear him say quietly " stay behind me"

We walk into the torn up living room , red cups scattered everywhere , picture frames crooked on the wall , pizza boxes on the coffee table and a couple of bongs on the floor .

We see a group of men in black attire , holding this scared girl in a chokehold. My eyes go wide when one of them pulls out a gun and puts it against her head .

" is this what it takes for you to pay up ?" One of the men said in a low deep voice .

" oh my g-gosh " I say shockingly, I am honestly gonna have a nervous breakdown .

" look I don't have anything , don't hurt anyone I need time  " Harry yells "she had nothing to do with this "

" you know this can't never be settled , you started a war . " one of the men say pointing the gun towards us .  " it may never end until we all feel satisfied." He says with a nasty grin painted on his face .

" but aye styles it is just like old times , right ? " one of them chuckles into the girls ear and looks straight at me .  " you never learn mate . However from hear on out you will know what it takes to solve a situation." He pauses and punches his mate in the nose and blood starts trickling down his mouth " correctly "

My heart is pounding so fast it could come out of my chest .
Until one of them asked who I was that is when I knew my heart is no longer in my body .

" who is she styles ? She seems perfect to be my new bitch " he says in a cocky manner.

" shut the fuck up .... she has nothing to do with this . " Harry grasps my wrist and holds it tight .

The red head girl is still crying her eyes out and the guys all smile widely , with every tear she makes a streak of black liner comes down her wet cheek .
" okay I guess he chose wisely " and with that a bullet flew threw her skull and she died instantly . After the first bullet more were charged at us and we ran out of the apartment so quickly .They continued to shoot bullets in the apartment even when we were out .

" give me the keys ." Harry's voice it seems like it is just a big blur .My head is starting to hurt and my ears are ringing badly .

" Dana give me the damn keys !" He says and I hear him clearly . I throw the keys at him and he catches them perfectly . We both jump in my new suv with bullets being shot at us .

As we are out of that neighborhood we end up going on the freeway to God knows where . I haven't talked since we left that place , the only thing in my mind is I saw how scared the girl was and in a instant they kill a girl .
It is eating me alive , that sentence is repeating over and over again in my mind .

" pull over " I say quietly

" what ? " Harry asks confused

" PULL THE FUCKING CAR OVER !!" I scream and with that Harry pulls it over to the side of the freeway .

I get out of the car and start to vomit and cry . I hear Harry get out as well and I feel him grab my hair and rub my back as well .

" why , ? " I say crying into Harry's shirty .

" you are fine , don't worry . " he says in a hush tone " I won't ever let them hurt you let alone touch you ."
