Aria's P.O.V

I felt like I was going to choke and die on the spot when Louis said 'Justin'. No, it can't be true. How can Justin be behind all this? He's too sweet...Does that mean he's part of a gang too? Oh god, why are everyone I know part of a freaking gang! I rubbed my temples in frustration as Louis eyes scanned the note over and over again "How?" I ask.

He looks up at me questioningly "What?"

"How do you know? 'J' could be anyone. Why Justin? And how do you even know him?!" I ask.

"Don't you know? He's part of a gang, he's our enemy and he's threatened Zayn that if he leaves Yasmin or causes Yasmin any pain he'd kill him and the entire gang" Louis explains.

Someone swallow me up now, how is this possible?! And all this time I've been crushing on a murderer. Well, I'm not even sure if I actually like him, I thought I did but ever since that double date I wasn't so sure. Now I hate him.

"Why have you got Zayn's jacket?" Louis asks, narrowing his eyes at me.

"He gave it to me" I say, fighting back a random smirk that was starting to creep up on my face.

"Why?" He asks, a flight hint of disgust in his tone.

"'Cause he wanted to" I say, shooting him an annoyed look.

He mutters something under his breath before walking out of my room. I kiss my teeth in his direction before picking up the note from Justin that lay on my bed. I sigh before crumbling up the note and throwing it in the bin. When I turn back to my bed I realise Louis left his phone. I smirk, picking it up and unlocking it. I scroll through his contacts and find Zayn's number. "Bingo" I whisper under my breath before typing the number on to my phone and throwing Louis' phone back on the bed lightly.

I decided to send something stupid,

Malik, meet me at the alley in 10 minutes got some serious business to talk about, If you don't come you're dead.

It sounded stupid enough so I click send, giggling to myself with excitement. I grab a pair of ripped black jeans and a plain black top and go into the bathroom to change. After I finished I tied my hair up into a pony tail and put on Zayn's jacket and black combat boots, grabbing my phone and quickly heading downstairs and out the door. Just then I quickly ran back inside and took Natasha's black hoodie that lay on the sofa and put it on before slipping the leather jacket over it. I put up my hoodie and stuffed my hands into my pockets as I left the house.

Zayn's P.O.V

I lay on my bed singing in a ridiculous high pitched voice until I heard my phone ding. I groaned as I got up to get my phone.

Malik, meet me at the alley in 10 minutes got some serious business to talk about, If you don't come you're dead.

What the hell? It was an unknown number which annoyed me. I sighed before grabbing my jacket and a gun if the idiot's business was to kill me.

Aria's P.O.V

I stood, my back facing the entrance of the alley to make it seem more dramatic and a plastic knife in my hand that I quickly bought on the way. I'm so stupid but I was getting pretty bored so I just had to. The hoodie covered most of my face only my bottom lip and chin in view but I could see a little bit, so I knew where I was going. It was still scary to be here since this was the very place I had gotten beaten by Zayn and his gang but I pushed my thoughts aside.

I heard foot steps coming "What do you want?" I heard Zayn spit.

I gulp before clearing my throat and continue tapping my foot "You" I say in a deep voice, biting my lip to hold myself back from bursting out laughing.
