Before I went to bed, I received a sweet text from Harry.

Harry
I had a wonderful time earlier. maybe we can do it again sometime? xx

Although I had just met him, Harry was making me feel so appreciated. I'm not used to this feeling, I'm always replaced.

Rowan
I enjoyed today as well, thank you again.

Harry
anytime, love. are you busy tomorrow?

Rowan
i'm not sure

Harry
meet me at the cafe at 7:00 xx

Rowan
i dont know, that's pretty late.

Harry
late? darling, the sun barely goes down at 7:30. I'll see you soon ;)xx

I didn't reply to his last text. A part of me felt embarrassed when I told him 7:00 was late. My curfew is at nine, and I'm really hoping he doesn't keep me out too late.

In a matter of minutes I was asleep, dreaming about the green-eyed mystery.

Harry's point of view

I arrived back at the river around five. In about two hours, Rowan would be here, but I had other things to take care of.

As pathetic as it sounds, I'm apart of a gambling/bidding business. I'm ashamed of it, honestly. Money, drugs, fighting, you name it, it's involved, including death.

Since I've been apart of this group, five people have been killed. If you don't follow through, they eliminate you, the process is simple.

I met up with Niall and Liam in an alley. Sketchy, right? Thing is, nobody ever goes in dark alleys except for this group.

Behind Liam, there was a brunette girl. She was awfully pretty, but it was obvious she had no self respect. She was wearing shorts, so short that her a.ss was hanging out. Along with that, she was wearing a leather jacket with cleavage the only visible thing coming out of her jacket.

"Who is she?" I pointed at the girl. She stepped out and walked closer to me.

She grabbed my shirt in a fist and pulled me down to her height.

"The names Jessica, pretty boy." she cooly introduced herself and gave me a light smack on my cheek.

I shot Liam a confused look.

"Anyway, what is it that we need to do?" Niall asked. I don't know why he's in this business, he's always so clueless.

We were sent here to beat the s.hit out of this man, who should be meeting us here, thinking we're giving him money.

Moments later, a tall man, maybe an inch or two taller than me, came through the alley.

"Where is the money?" he spat, coming closer to us.

I didn't waste any time. I quickly threw a punch and it hit him directly in the jaw. Blood was already coming out of his mouth.
