Life, Love and Gangs. {Book 1} *In Editing*

I'm A Melody

I lean my weight against the wall of the lounge room while I wait to see you I'm doing my rounds with. I look over to my father and watch as he writes down the remaining names and posts the lists on the bulletin board for everyone to see, I wait on one of the old couches waiting for the line to die down or for my partner to come and get me.

***

The line had died down soo much that I decided to check myself, I found the 'C' section on the list and I could find my name.

"Hey Dad, my name isn't on here!" I yell to my father who was sat in the kitchen drinking some coffee.

"That's because we have a new comer, I need you and Swifty to teach him the ropes." He says as I walk over to him, I see Swifty making himself a coffee as well.

"So, where is he?" Swifty asks turning towards our father, everything went silent seeing as we where the only gang members left in the house.

"Soon." He says finishing off his coffee, I really wanted to know who this guy was. Our father had half described him to us but it wasn't much help, he described the person to have dark brown hair and piercings and tatts. Lots of help dad..

I heard a knock at the front door, I let Swifty get it while I jumped onto the couch and chill, I hear Swifty open the door and start talking to somebody.

"Hey, are you the new guy?" I hear Swifty say in a sturn voice.

"Yep, I'm guessing that you are Cal's son?" I hear the voice say, the voice rings a bell.

I look over the couch to see if i know the person, I look over to see a tall guy with a mop of curls on his head. I looked closely and saw who it was.. IT WAS HARRY!! Why is Harry here?! Come on, has Niall sent him to stalk me? Or has he come on his own terms?

"Yes, I'm Swift, my friends call me Swifty." Swifty says to the guy, I get up off the couch quietly, not to be noticed. I sneak around to the back of Harry where I was in the shadows, Swifty noticed me and knew I wanted to speak to Harry alone, he obviously remembers how I described each of the boys.

"Wait here, I'll just go get my father." Swifty says leaving me alone with Harry, I walk a few steps closer to his back and tap him on the shoulder causing him to turn into me.

As soon as he turns I grab his shirt and pull him down to my level, I look him dead in the eye as his face fills with fear not recognizing me until last minute.

"What are you doing hear?!" I half whisper and half yell, in his face before I see a smirk apear on his face.

"Hello, love. We where wondering were you where." He says pulling away from my grip, I stare at him, almost about to punch him.

"Did Niall send you? Doesn't Niall trust me to go away? Why does he care?! I'm not his girlfriend or anything?!" I say, my voice getting louder and louder with everyword.

"Calm down, love. I'm here on my own terms, I want to join... Wait, why are you here?" He asks confused, I roll my eyesl and explain.

"I'm a Melody." I say, he raises his eyebrow and chuckles.

"You're not old enough, you would't even know how to fight, love." He says patting me on the head, thats it, thats fucking it!! He's going down!!

I fist my hands, just about ready to fight, then I hear my fathers voice behind me.

"At ease, Cinder. Now, Mr Styles. You have already met Cinder and Swift, time for you to show them what you've got." My father says leaving us to do our thing.

"Now Harry, come with me." I say, he follows us outside to the training area. I took him over to the undercover boxing area, he looks at me as I turn and point to the boxing ring.

"Okay, who am I versing?" Harry asks looking at my brother. Swifty and I look at each other and smile, swifty points at me as we smile back at Harry.

"You're joking? I'll end up killing her." He says confused.

"Trust me mate, she can take it." Swifty says passing me a drink of water, I jump up into the ring and stand in my corner.

I watch Harry take his shirt off, reveling his tattoo's. I put on my gloves and stand before him, I wait for my brother to start saying the rules.

"Why haven't you changed your clothes?" Harry asked.

"Because, what's the point in changing your clothes when you will be changing back into them in a minute." I say as Swifty finishes saying the rules.

"FIGHT!" I hear Swifty yell, Harry takes a swing at me and I dodge, I look at his smug face. He puts his arms out to his side to show I can have a free shot, I smile and focus. I punch him in the stomach, right where his abbs where, causing him to pull in towards him stomach. I take my advantage and give him an upper cup making him fall from the impact.

"Not so good now ay, hot stuff?" I say, one foot on his chest.

"Cinna wins!" Swifty yells and raises my hand in to air, I look down at Harry's smug face. I stick my tongue out at him and he does the same, I notice that he had a tongue piercing as well as snake bite.

"Okay, I admit defeat. You are stronger than you look, love." He says as I give him a hand up, I can't help but stare at his chest. On his chest was two birds on either side of his upper chest, they looked beautiful.

"What are you doing?" He says snapping me out of my thoughts, he chuckles and waits for my answer.

"Just doing some bird watching." He couldn't stop laughing at my comment. I look at the tatts on his arm, there is one part of ink of the tatts that Niall had in the exact same spot..

Is there some connection between each of the boys through there tatts?
