Kellin Quinn Imagines

You're In A Gang

~ Kellins POV ~

I was just strolling down the street after a long day at the studio recording with the guys, when I get pushed into a wall. A large group of extremely tall men surround me, and for no apparent reason, start beating the shit out of me!?!
"Stupid fucking white boy! What the fuck are you doing in these parts!?! They're claimed! Who the fuck are you with!?!" One of them throws questions at me along with his punches.
"I-Im not with anyone for fuck sake!" I manage to blurt out.
The guys face seems to harden before he continues punching me. I get kicked to the floor and punched in the eye. I spit out the blood in my mouth and attempt to defend myself. Its no use, there's no way Im escaping these assholes. So, this is how it ends, huh? A black circle surrounds my vision, and it starts closing in on me, until there is nothing but darkness. Suddenly, I dont feel pain anymore, I dont feel...anything. I guess this is what it feels like to die.

I cough frantically and wake up, feeling something damp on my forehead. I try and open my eyes, but only one of them will open.
"You've got one black eye dude, it wont open." I hear a soft female voice beside me.
I turn to face her and have to blink rapidly with my one working eye. Holy shit. She's beautiful! "Wh-Where am I!?!"
"I found you in the street, passed out and looking thoroughly beaten up, so I took it upon myself to bring you here and make sure you were ok." She smiles slightly at me. How did a small girl like her carry me here!?! That doesnt make any sense!?!
"But...you cant have carried me here all by yourself!?! Did you get some help? And where exactly is 'here'?" I ask curiously.
She runs a hand through her hair and laughs slightly "Dammit, you're smarter than I thought." I raise an eyebrow and am about to question her further, when there's a loud knock on the closed door to this small room. Her eyes widen and she throws a blanket over me "Hide under there, dont let him see you!" I nod and hide myself beneath the blanket, I hear her open the door.
"(Y/N), Rico says you werent inside the boundaries earlier, where the fuck were you!?!" Some obvious douchebag asks from the door, I recognize his voice immediately, he's one of the dudes that beat me up.
"What, Im not allowed to leave the house now either Vince!?!" She replies sassily.
"No, actually, you're not! I dont like the idea of another guy looking at you, which is exactly what any guy can do if you leave this house!" I am liking this Vince dick bag less and less with every word he says to be completely honest.
"There's no point in you bothering to get jealous, its not like any guy looks at me twice anyway." The girl replies quietly. I would argue with her on that, but the dick bag speaks first.
"Thats fucking right, you're ugly and worthless, remember that!" Vince replies.
Ok I know he kinda beat the shit out of me earlier but that does not mean I will not kick the shit out of this fuck tard while making repeated Kick Me references.
"Its not like you ever let me forget." She mutters before clearing her throat "What did you want anyway?"
"To make sure you wont leave this place again! You know the rules (Y/N)! You've got the mark, you're in this for life!" Vince explains. Im confused!?!
"I didnt ask for this!" I think her name is (Y/N)? I dunno. Anyway, she seems outraged now.
"Thats not my fucking problem, just swear you wont leave and we can resolve our dispute!" Big words from a guy who probably doesnt know what the word 'contraception' means.
"Fine, whatever, if it gets you off my case, I'll stay." (Y/N) responds through gritted teeth.
"Good. I'll come by again later to remind you why you should NEVER leave again, and trust me, it'll be a lesson you'll never forget!" After that very rude and aggravating threat, the Vince piece of shit walks away.

(Y/N) sighs as she shuts her door. "You can come out now."
I pull the blanket off me "You cant let that douchebag talk to you like that! Whats he going to do when he comes back!?! Does he hurt you!?! That mother fucker! What does he mean 'you've got the mark' and what exactly are you 'in for life'!?! Where the hell are we!?! Whats going on!?!"
(Y/N) laughs slightly "Woah, woah, woah, one question at a time! In answer to your first few questions, when he comes back he'll probably beat the shit out of me like he usually does." She sighs "Another bruise to add to the collection, how lovely."
My jaw drops "No fucking way! I wont let him touch you!"
She smiles appreciatively "Thank you, but you'll be long gone by then."
"What 'mark' have you got and what are you 'in for life'?" I ask again.
"You may not be aware of the gang wars that still go on, but right now you're on probably the worst side of the battle. You were walking through claimed territory, my boyfriend spotted you and thought you were on the other side, which is why he beat the shit out of you. I was forced to join this gang a few years ago because I stupidly got into a relationship with Vince. They gave me the mark that means I can never leave, so Im basically fucked." She explains.
"That dick bag is your boyfriend!?!" I ask in outrage, she just nods. I nod slowly. "That still doesnt explain how you got me in here."
She laughs slightly "I heard the guys beating someone up and went downstairs to see who the unlucky human was, and saw you lying on the ground unconscious. At this point Vince had already run off, seeing you unconscious meant his job was done. I leant over you and protected you from their fatal blows, they instantly stopped and agreed not to tell Vince as long as I paid them, which I did. I then called on the neighbors, who arent involved in the gang wars, and they helped me carry you in here."
My jaw drops "Y-You protected me!?! But you dont even know me!?! Why would you risk yourself like that!?!"
She shrugs "Nobody should have to put up with the abuse I've been forced to endure for the past few years, I'll save anyone I can if it means they dont face the fate I have."
"You're the most selfless person I've ever met." I conclude, before changing the subject. "Whats the mark they gave you?"
She sighs shakily "Its a huge ceremony thing, everyone in balaclavas, spiritual bullshit, they cut a straight line across my wrist before burning the gang symbol into my wrist below that." She lifts her sleeve to show me, and Im unable to believe my eyes.
"Thats so fucked up! Didnt it hurt!?!" I ask in shock, holding her wrist carefully in my hand.
"Yeah, but they held me down so I couldnt get free, they forced me into it in the first place." She turns away from me "Im honestly terrified of Vince coming back, especially if his henchmen tell him I kept you here and helped you." She basically whispers.
I sit up and open my arms out to her "Come here." She blinks a few times in shock. I smile at her "C'mon, I wont hurt you, I promise." I say softly. She nods and flings herself into my lap. I wrap my arms tightly around her and hold her against me, knowing she wont have felt such caring gestures in a long time.
"Th-They took me away from my family, my friends, everyone I ever knew and liked! They all think Im dead! Vince forced me to witness my own funeral, it was fake of course, but my family were all crying! The first guy I had ever properly ever loved was there, Liam was his name, I had to stand there and watch him cry, watch his heart break infront of me! None of them know Im here! I have no-one!" She starts crying into my sweater.
I shake my head frantically "You know you're way around this territory, right?" She nods into my sweater. "Do you think you can get us to my place, if I give you the address?"
She nods and sniffles "I-I can give you directions so you can find your way home, i-if thats what you mean."
I shake my head again "No, Im not leaving you here, we're going to my place together, Im not leaving you here to suffer alone."
"I-I cant leave! Im bound to this gang for the rest of my life! Not only that, b-but i-if we do escape and Vince finds me, he wont hesitate to kill both of us! I couldnt cope if he killed you Kellin!" She cries harder.
"We'll sneak out, nobody will see us! Im in a band, we travel almost all the time, it'd be impossible for Vince and his midget dick to track is down. I promise you (Y/N), you'll be safe with me, I'll protect you. I know I look like shit right now and your boyfriend beat me up, but thats because I was out numbered and caught off guard, I'll take up Karate if I have to in order to protect you! You saved my life, I'll forever be indebted to you." I conclude.
(Y/N) nods and stands up out of my lap, making her way over to her door. "What exactly is your plan once we get out of here?"
"First we'll have to relocate so they cant find us, then we'll inform my friends and family about you and your situation, they'll all want to protect you too once they've met you and know what you did to save me. After that, we'll find your family and friends and you can reunite. Then...we'll just see where the future takes us I guess! Obviously I'll take up Karate at some point too." I decide.
She nods and smiles slightly "You were serious about the Karate thing?"
"If it means I'll be able to protect you, then fuck yeah!" I reply, determined and courageous.
She laughs, then goes silent. She seems to be debating with herself, until she nods. "Ok, lets go!" I stand up and grab her hand, we run out of the door, down the creaky stairs, out the old wooden door and onto the common and trash littered street. (Y/N) starts pulling me to the right, we turn snd start running, hiding behind trash cans, trees, crouching behind bushes and standing around corners to avoid being seen. We reach the end of a street, and I tell her my address, she nods before pulling me with her as she starts running again. Our fingers are locked in a death grip, both of us terrified at the thought of being caught, but also excited to see what the future holds for the two of us. We manage to avoid being seen. (Y/N) tells me when we're safe because we're out of the claimed territory, and our place slows to a walk. We get to know eachother a lot better in the short journey between the territorial barriers and my front porch.
We see the lights of my house, and I stop walking, turning to face her. "I never told you my name, how did you know what it was?"
She smiles up at me "I never told you mine either!"
"No, but I overheard Vince saying your name, nobody said mine, how did you know my name?" I ask, beyond curious as to how she knew my name.
She bites her lip nervously "Before I met Vince, I was your typical fangirl, obsessed with multiple bands, and it just so happens that Sleeping With Sirens was my favorite. The last song I ever listened to was your cover of Iris, its absolutely beautiful."
I smile down at her "You're a fan!?! Awesome!"
She nods "Yeah. I had to listen to music in secret for a few years because Vince was always jealous of my love for you and the guys. The last time I listened to music was a week ago."
My jaw drops "You havent listened to music in a week and you still know what the last song you heard was!?!"
She nods "Yeah, I tend to recite the lyrics in my head to the last song I listened to up until I listened to music again, it helped me deal with the general absence of music."
I pull her into my arms "You dont have to live that way anymore (Y/N), you can listen to music whenever the fuck you want, and if you ever want me to sing to you, I'd be honored."
She snuggles into my sweater "Thank you Kellin, for everything."
I kiss her hair "No problem (Y/N), it was my pleasure."
