♪Ashton's P.O.V ♪

It was the last month we had left of summer break before we had to go back to school. I can say right now that I'm not the same person that I used to be. That sweet and innocent fifteen year old was replaced by cold-blooded now seventeen year old killer. Michael only knows about me selling drugs and not about the killing. It would only hurt him and my two other friends, Luke and Calum, once they realize how broken I truly am. God only knows how hard Michael, Luke, and Calum have tried to get me out of the gang. In all honesty I know that I'm never get out of this gang no matter how hard I try to get out.

The only thing keeping me sane is the band we started, we can only hope that this will lead us to brighter future. That is if nothing comes up and tries to destroy the only thing that gives me some hope. My phone suddenly rings and I see that it's Zach and my good mood suddenly goes away."What do want?" I said as soon as I answered. "We got some more stuff that came in today and I need you to come and help us deliver it," Zach replied. "Okay. Where am I going to pick up the stuff at ?" I asked him. "Same spot as usual Ash," he said and then hung up the phone. Without another word I grabbed my car keys and headed out to the location.

As soon as I got inside my car I got a text but I decided to ignore it and just go to the location and get this over with. It took me about an hour to get to the abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere and lets just say I'm really annoyed right now. I pulled into the almost empty driveway of the warehouse and got out. "About time you got here Ash," I heard a familiar voice say. "Well I'm sorry I live an hour away from this damn place," I replied sarcastically. "Whatever. Just get in here and get what you're supposed deliver,"Zach replied. We both then headed inside the building to get the "merchandise" and load it up in my car.

Guess today was my lucky day considering that I don't have deliver as many things as I thought I would have to. As soon as I was in my car I checked the text message that I had received while I was on my way here. It didn't take long to realize that the text came from Michael and two other texts that came from Luke and Calum. They all texted that they wanted to hang out today and quickly replied to all of them that I'm busy right now that maybe later we could hang out. It didn't take long for them to respond that it's fine and that they'll do something else. Sometimes I wish that they hadn't gotten involved in my life. The thought of them getting hurt if I did something wrong killed me; these guys are like my brothers.

I better get started on the deliveries considering that the drive is going to be about a five hour drive.The first couple of deliveries were up in Melbourne.This is going to be a long day that I'm not looking forward to.

Later That Day
»→»→»→»→

It was around 5 pm when I got back to Sydney and I still had one more delivery to make. Now I have to head over to the airport. I know what you're thinking "who the hell asks to meet at an airport for a drug deal?" My phone went off for like the fourth time throughout the whole time I was out making deliveries. I checked it once again and realized that Michael had been calling me for the past couple of hours. After listening to the voice mail he had left I called him back and told him that I wouldn't be able to hang out today. It took me while to find the guy I'm supposed to sell the drugs too but I eventually found him. On my way out I saw this beautiful girl making her way out with someone who appeared to be her mom. The way she walked with so much confidence made my heart beat go faster. I don't know who she is but I know one thing for sure is that she's going to be mine.

♪Elizabeth's P.O.V ♪

When we finally arrived to Sydney it was like 5 pm or something like that. Mom and I walked towards the baggage claim to get our stuff. It never occurred to me to ask her where we're going to be staying until we get a house. "Hey mom. Where are we going to be staying ?" I asked her. She suddenly got very still and didn't say a single word. Before I could say anything a man came up to her and hugged her. "Who the hell is he?" I asked my mom. "Elizabeth this your dad. . ." mom began before I interrupted her. "Dad? You said that he abandoned us as soon as he found out about me," I started to say. "He wasn't ready to be a father yet. So he left to try and straighten out his future,"she said trying to defend him.

"You told me you that you got an abortion," the guy said. My mom looked so conflicted and it almost made me feel bad. Key word: almost. "You know what? I'm not staying in the same house as that man! " I shouted at my mom. And without another word I walked away from parents. Within a minute of being here and I was already starting to hate it here. I took out my iPhone and started looking for nearby hotels. It didn't take very long for me to find a hotel and a number to call a cab to come and get me. Luckily I had remembered to grab my suitcases before I stormed out of the airport.

When I glanced around looking for the cab I caught sight of a boy staring at me. I couldn't help but stare back at him. By looking at his build I was able to determine that he works out. Seeing all his tattoos made me wonder the meaning behind each of them. At that moment I felt as if he was going to mean something to me sometime in the future.

♪No One's P.O.V ♪

Little did they both know that they're bound to meet each other. But it's too soon for them to be able to prepare for anything. Can it be possible that they'll meet each other at school . . . or out in a public place? Can their futures somehow be intertwined together no matter what they want to do for themselves? Will she be able to show him the way to find her heart or his?
