The Other Side Of Fear

Chapter 10 Hangin Out

*Mary's P.O.V*

We got back to school after changing our clothes and stopping by McDonald's to eat for lunch. I shut my door just as a bell rung inside, which signaled lunch. We walked in and went strait to the cafeteria. We walked in and it smelt like stale chicken, bread, and fries. I started to look around for Janie until I felt something heavy on my back.

"Where were you today?" Janie asked loudly so she could be heard over the cafeteria noise.

"I was out now get off." I said trying to steady myself from falling over as Aiden chucked to himself. She got off and walked in front of me.

"What do you mean 'out'?" She put air quotes around out.

"I mean I was out, not here, gone, absent, would you like me to keep going?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Well where were you?"

"At this dirt field with this guy." I directed my thumb towards Aiden.

"Oh that's all I am to you?" He put a hand over his heart. "Just this guy?" He acted hurt.

"Oh shut up drama queen." I rolled my eyes and playfully hit him.

"Oh, I see how it is." Janie said with a mischievous grin on her face.

"Shut up." I rolled my eyes at her and Aiden chucked again.

"C'mon I'm starving." She started to walk to the lunch line but I stopped her. "What?"

"We've got McDonald's." I said and Aiden held up the bags and she smiled.

"Yay! Let's eat outside, it's too crowded in here." Aiden said and we both nodded.

"I'll text Lucas." She said as we walked outside. We sat down under a shady tree to cover from the warm spring day. Lucas came behind Janie and wrapped his arms around her, scaring her in the process. They were so cute together.

We were joking around, telling jokes and being weird. That's when I spotted none other than Sarah walking strait for us. I nudged Janie and when she looked at me I pointed to Sarah. Everyone in the group looked over to her right as she got to us.

"Sorry you've got the wrong place, we don't have any pimps here." I said giving her a sarcastic grin.

"Shut up bitch." She spat at me. "I know it was you two." She joined the rest of her 'crew' and folded her arms.

"You're right, we did win the award for sexiest beasts." Janie joined in the conversation, Aiden and Lucas started snickering at our comments.

"You know what I'm talking about bitch. My parents may not believe me but I know you two took the money." She took a step towards us as we say on the ground.

"Ok, you've been doing too much drugs. What was it, crack, weed, heroine?" I asked her pretending to be concerned. Her face got red with anger.

"Shut up you assholes!" She shouted, getting the attention of a lot of students, and a teacher that was supervising.

"Sarah!" The teacher yelled. "Principals office, now!" She pointed towards the doors. Sarah let out an aggressive 'UGHH' and stomped off, followed by her 'crew'.

"Bye Sarah." We all said in a smartass tone as we waved at her, after we all laughed. Aiden and Lucas gave us both high-fives for our comebacks.

"You guys wanna go to the warehouse after school?" Aiden asked all of us. The warehouse was where the gang hung out, in an abandon warehouse.

"Sure." I said then Janie followed with, "Yeah." We all looked at Lucas.

"Am I allowed there, I mean, I'm not really apart of the gang." He said nervously.

"You'll be fine." Aiden reassured him.

"Ok, then I guess if it's ok." He nodded his head.

"How we gonna get there?" Janie asked.

"Aiden will drive." I said casually.

"Don't you need a license to drive without an adult in the front seat?" Janie asked as she scrunched up her eyebrows in confusion.

"I've got one." He said pulling out his wallet and showing them his license.

"Your 16? Why are you still in junior high?" Lucas asked and Aiden explained as the bell rang, ending lunch. We all went back to class.

After school we met at Aiden's car and he drove us to the warehouse. He parked the car among all the other ones. We walked in, it smelled like alcohol and weed. There is always a party going on here. To the right there were foozeball and pool tables. To the left a bar, and about 30 feet down from that a DJ station. In the back corner were T.Vs with football and Xbox on them.

We walked in and Turn Down For What came on. Aiden grabbed my hand and pulled me into the crowd. We started dancing, and when the song would say turn down for what we all jumped in the air. We danced for about 20 minutes until we got tired, we walked over to one of the T.Vs that was unoccupied. Call of duty was on so we decided to play it. He beat me at everything, of course I had only played this game once or twice before. When we got bored of that so we started to play foozeball and pool. He beat me at pool but I crushed him in foozeball.

As we were playing around some drunk guy probably twice my age started hitting on me. He kept trying to get my number and if I wanted a beer. Aiden started getting really pissed off at the guy so we decided to leave. It was an hour before we had to meet back up with Janie and Lucas so we went on a walk through the city. We were laughing and joking as we walked.

"Did you see that completely drunk guy that face planted?" I laughed.

"Yeah, just because he was dancing." He finished the story and we sobered up from laughing.

"That was so much fun." I smiled up at him. It was around nine so the sun had already set. I checked my phone and it read '9:34'. "We should probably start heading back." I showed him my phone.

"Yeah we should."we started to turn around until he grabbed my arm and twisted me back the direction we were facing as he continued walking.

"What was-" I started but he cut me off.

"Shhh. There are two guys behind us that have been following us." He kept a hold of my arm.

"What do we do?" I asked in a hushed tone.

"Follow me." He took a hold of my hand and led me down an alleyway that opened into a busier street. I could hear the men's footsteps becoming louder and more rapid. "Give me the hoodie, quick." He said acting calm but had an urgent tone. I slipped off the hoodie he lent me and he put it on. "We need to make sure they don't see us."

"How-" I began but he cut me off as he pushed me against the wall and pressed his body against mine. His lips crashed against mine in an instant, they started working perfectly in sync. I put my hands up and cupped his face and he pushed my hips against his with his hands. I had completely forgotten about the two men until he pulled away from our mini make out session.

"I think their gone." He said looking around, still close to me.

"What was that?" I asked in surprise.

"When you see a couple making out do you really want to keep looking at them, or do you want to look away as quick as possible?" He asked, his breath blowing against my face.

"Well, look away of course." I stated in a 'duh' voice.

"Exactly." He grabbed my hand and led me away again. We went down another alleyway. I would have never have guessed what was waiting for us as we turned that corner.
