The Gang Leader's Girl

Stone Cold

Tori's POV

Word had gotten out that I was the new temporary gang leader and nobody liked the idea, but I didn't care.

Rumors spread of how weak I was and how I let my emotions get the best of me. I knew that if I wanted to keep this gang alive and kicking I would have to hide my emotions behind a cold, numb exterior. I would have to train to be able to defend myself I would have to learn how to use a gun.

For a split second I questioned myself.
"Am I really prepared for this lifestyle."
The. I realized that I was born for it.

Once again I was back to Corey asking him to train me. He refused until I reminded him of who he was talking to.

*Later That Day*

After my intense training session with Corey I thanked him a went off to see Noah.

It has been nearly a week and Noah was still in a coma from the bullet. I desperately wanted him to wake up just so I could see that smile of his. I wanted to hear him laugh. I wanted him to get protective of me. I wanted him to be the gang leader.

I open the door to Noah's room to see that he had flatlined.

I lost him.

He was gone.

As the doctor and nurse work i stand in the doorway unable to move.

I just watch.

I could do nothing.

They try everything.

Nothing worked.

Their last option was to try to zap some life into him.

The first try was a fail.

The second try they got a faint pulse for a few seconds before it was gone again.

They always said third times a charm.

Whoever said that obviously didn't know what they were talking about because nothing's charming when you're love is about to die.

I was pulled away from the room by Corey I didn't fight it because I couldn't I had no energy left in me to do or say anything.

As he pulls me down the stairs I hear a beep and then another.

I guess the rumors about me being weak were true. I felt numb and cold emotionless. This is how I needed to feel on the job not when I'm at home.

That night I didn't sleep. I didn't dare enter Noah's room.

I'm a horrible person. I should be there for him but I can't bring myself to see him just laying there.

The next morning there was faint knock on my door from the school's linebacker Sebastian. I hated him when I first met him. His cold blank face was unreadable. His ride gestures instantly made me dislike him even more. I now understand why he has to be like this.

I snapped out of my thoughts when he told me I had to meet the rest of the gang. "Oh great." Sarcasm seeping through my words.

I walk down the stairs with Corey and Sebastian by my side. I stop in the middle so everyone can see me all hundreds of them. As soon as I stop so does the noise. It is silent. They are all waiting for me to say something.

"I am Tori. You're temporary leader. You will do as I say no questions asked. You will treat me with respect. You step on my toes you die. Do I make myself clear?" Choruses of yes erupted in the room. "Things will carry on just as if Noah was here." It was silent for a few moments until someone in the crowd spoke up. "Why should we listen to you? You are nothing but a pathetic weak little girl." I look him straight in the eyes not breaking contact as I walk down the stairs. I walk calmly up to him and look him straight in the eye with one swift movement he was on the ground with my gun to his head. The look of fear in his eyes made me feel something... Power. Without any thought I shoot him right between the eyes.

I walk right back up the stairs to Corey and Sebastian who have a smirk of approval of their faces. I turn around to face the rest of the gang and yell. "Now if anyone else thinks I am some weak little girl please step up." Of course no one did giving me the sense of satisfaction.

I have turned into a stone cold bitch.
