Love and War ( Lauren/You )

| 3 | In The Night

The first order of business, besides killing Joseph, was to find the competition. They couldn't really do anything without knowing who they were.

So that's why Y/N and Chris were currently out at one o'clock am on a Tuesday. Both were given guns by Jay, and told to patrol the cargo docks and areas around the beach. Y/N had picked Chris up at eleven, after he confirmed his whole family had gone to bed.

They were currently walking around what seemed to be an empty cargo ship. However, as they got to one room they heard talking. Chris and Y/N shared a look before standing beside a door, listening in.

"he won't last long, not with us." They heard a muffled voice from inside.

"I've gotten word that he has a gang of teenagers, and they're gonna be the main ones on our ass." Y/N gulped as she heard this. She saw Chris's eyes widen.

"His daughter is one, and she's the main leader." With this Y/N knew she was royally fucked. "We'll have to tell boss once he gets here."

All the sudden Y/N heard footsteps coming from behind her.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" The person asked, rather loudly.

"Oh uhm, we were just bored. We'll be leaving now." Y/N said, hoping they'd believe her. Y/N and Chris both quickly walked away until they heard the door that the meeting was going on in open, and rushed footsteps.

"Run!" Y/N yelled and they both quickly darted towards the exit. "Don't shoot unless you have to."

Chris got ahead of Y/N, jumping into the passengers side of her jeep. Y/N quickly jumped in, starting the jeep immediately. Right as it started she noticed three guys run off the cargo ship, guns in hand.

"Fuck!" And with that Y/N slammed on the gas. "Chris, stay down."

Chris quickly ducked and Y/N sped off, hearing gunshots echoing through the air, a few hitting her door.

They drove away from the scene as quickly as possible. "Are you okay?" Chris asked as his head popped back up.

"Yeah, but this stuff is serious," Y/N paused for a moment. "Also, I need a new car." She pouted slightly.

Chris just shook his head and laughed. "I'm sure you'll figure something out."

They rode in a comfortable silence the whole way back to Chris's house. Y/N continued thinking of how she'd have to protect everyone. She couldn't let people get hurt because of her. She now knew her and her whole group had a target on their back, plus the competition knew who she and Chris where now.

She pulled up to the Jauregui's house and turned off her jeep. "Chris, we have to be extra careful now. Just, don't do anything alone. Our whole group is in danger, especially you and I."

"How come you and I are in the most danger?" Chris asked, turning to look at his friend.

"They saw us tonight and they wouldn't have shot at us if they thought we were some random kids." Y/N sighed before continuing. "Just be careful."

"I will, goodnight, Y/N." Chris said before getting out of the jeep and walking towards his house.

Y/N drove back to her and Dinah's apartment in edge, praying no one would see the bullet holes in her door. She didn't even know what it looked like yet.

Once she arrived back home she got out to check her jeep. "Fuck." She muttered. There was at least 8 dents in door. Her jeep was her baby. "C'mon, dude." She whined, kicking the front wheel.

Once she walked in she saw Dinah sitting on the couch watching some random movie.

"Dinah," Y/N said, plopping down on the couch. "You'll never believe what happened."

"Hm?" Dinah hummed, not taking her eyes away from the screen.

"Chris and I almost died." Y/N dead panned.

Dinah's head immediately shot up to look at her. "What the hell?!" She yelled.

"We found the cartel, but they knew who we are and shot at us as we drove away." Y/N explained. "By the way, we're taking your car to school tomorrow."

"Are you both okay?" Dinah asked, concerned.

"Peachy!" Y/N said with a sarcastic smile. Dinah slapped her on the back of the head and Y/N sighed. "We're fine."

"Okay, well we should probably sleep. We have school tomorrow and we're gonna have to tell everyone else, plus we had orders." Dinah said while standing up.

Y/N followed her before turning towards her own room. "Goodnight, DJ."

Y/N took a shower before getting into bed and trying to not think about the future.

The next morning Y/N and Dinah arrived in Dinah's black Nissan, which made many people stare. The school was used to the two getting out of her jeep.

Alycia quickly ran up to them. "Where's your jeep?"

Y/N looked at her for a second before looking forward again. "I'll explain later. At lunch. Now, we have deliveries to do. Find Austin and take care of them." And with that Y/N walked away from the both of them.

She quickly went on the hunt for Chris, needing to make sure he was okay. She walked through the halls and figured he'd be in the back of the library, where they often met to talk business. Once in there Y/N walked to the back and didn't find Chris, but his sister.

"Lauren, hey. Have you seen Chris?" Y/N asked while walking over to the girl.

Lauren looked up and gave her a confused look, but answered nonetheless. "Yeah, he was going to the bleachers."

"Cool, thanks!" Y/N said, quickly turning away.

"Y/N!" Lauren exclaimed causing her to turn back around. "Uhm, what's up with you and your gang?"

Y/N eyed the girl for a second before taking a seat next to Lauren. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, my brother is in it, and I just wanna know." Lauren answered quietly.

Y/N noticed Lauren seemed to be scared of her which made her frown. "We're just a couple of kids that got labeled as a gang." Y/N answered.

"Really?" Lauren asked incredulously.

Y/N put her hand on Lauren's that was laying on the table, causing her to feel a strange feeling in her stomach. She shook it off before answering, with a smile. "Positive." And with that Y/N walked away, leaving Lauren with the same strange feeling Y/N had.
