Doing It Right

Chapter 19

This is completely pointless. They can't honestly expect me to train this...child. I sigh as Hayes attempts to point the gun i handed him at the fence. His form is off, his postures bad, he's shaking, and plus he's holding it at a weird angle.

"Hold it straight! Stop shaking!" I yell.

As Hayes repositions the gun, he closes his eyes. I gonna give him a reason to close his eyes in a minute. 

"Stop closing your eyes!" Before I can stop myself i add, "Your brother is in a damn gang! Why can't you be more like him!?"

"Gilinsky!" I hear Kenzie scream. Shit. I went too far. I look at her scared. She's gonna dump me for sure now.

"Get over here now." She demands. I slowly walk over to her leaving Hayes to himself. 

"yes?" I ask stopping in front of her.

"Stop being so mean to him! Can't you see you make him nervous!?" She crosses her arms.

"He should be nervous! We should all be nervous! He could turn on us at any minute." I feel a rant coming and decide to continue. "He could be spying for his brother! he could harm you and plus," I gently take her hand. "I don't like the way he looks at you...it makes me jealous."

"Awww..Gilinsky you know i'm yours though, and Hayes is just a friend. Alright sweetie?" She smiles at me. I smile back instantly.

Suddenly i hear a gun go off. I pull Kenzie down, pulling my own gun out. I look at Hayes to see him staring at the gun in his hand. You've got to be kidding me.

"What the hell is going on!?" Crawford asks running outside.

"You gave him a loaded gun!?" Kenzie asks standing up.

"I thought I took the bullets out!" I say standing up.

"I put them back in...I mean what if something happened while you were flirting with Kenzie?" Hayes asks. And now i'm going to kill him. 

"I wasn't flirting with Kenzie!" I say as Kian and Chris come running outside.

"Cause holding hands isn't flirting." Hayes rolls his eyes. He's gonna get me shot or fired or worse, killed.

"You were holding hands with my sister..." Kians eyes narrow and he reaches for his own gun.

"No! I fell and he was examing my hand for cuts." Kenzie is quick to respond. Kian looks at me and I nod. He then looks at Hayes who also nods. Oh thank god.

"Be careful with that gun alright?" Kian says before heading back in the house. That was way too damn close. Chris walks over to me and whispers.

"I saw everything."

"I don't know what you're talking about." I whisper back.

"Better watch out, if you aren't careful i won't even have to tell Kian. You'll give yourself away and Kenzie will be all mine." I go tense as Chris grins walking away. I watch him leave wishing to just beat his damn ass already.

"Gilinsky?" Kenzie says walking over to me.

"What?" I snap.

"Woah..sorry." She starts to take a step back, but i grab her hand not wanting to screw up again.

"No! I'm sorry...he just...he saw what happened between us...he didn't hear anything though...I just...have to be more careful till I get your brother's permission." I sigh.

"You will. I'll talk to him alright?" She smiles at me. I give her a small smile before going back over to Hayes.

"Alright bro, if you're done accidentally firing the gun." I say.

"Sorry again." he blushes.

"It's fine. Did you at least keep your eyes open?" I ask.

"Yep. I guess seeing Kenzie happy with someone is a bit of a shock that i accidentally pulled the trigger." He says.

"We aren't together." I frown.

"Yeah, not yet." He gives me a knowing look as i hear giggling coming from the alley. I turn as i see people walk into the backyard out of the corner of my eye. I instantly regret turning cause i see my sister kiss Matt. I also notice Mariah. Not this asshole again. 

"What the fuck!?" I say pulling my gun and aiming at Matt. My sisters boyfriend or not, he's on the wrong turf.

"No Gilinsky!" I hear Kenzie cry out right before a gun goes off and Matt fall clearly hit.

"Matt!" Kenzie screams.

"Oh my god!" my sister cries out kneeling next to Matt, whos sister starts crying as Kenzie races over. I didn't fire that gun, so that means.... I turn to look at Hayes whos eyes are wide.

"Hayes! What the fuck!" Kenzie screams.

"I'm sorry! I thought he was dangerous!" Hayes says. I like this kid.

"He is." I say walking over and kneeling next to Matt to see where he got shot.

"I hate you." Matt spits at me.

"Yeah, i don't like you either, but you are Kenzie's best friend so i have no choice but to help you." I say helping him up.

We quickly go inside where i shove Matt down in a chair in the kitchen. I then grab the first aid kit and get to work getting the bullet out of his arm. The air in the room is very uncomfortable as i have to watch my damn sister kiss Matt everytime he winces.

"Okay Hayes, if you've fired one more gun.." Crawford starts walking into the kitchen. He stops lookin at all of us. "Umm, what is going on here? Matt, why are you bleeding? Gilinsky, why are you helping him? Mariah, what are you doing here?" he starts firing questions.

Mariah quickly runs over to Crawford and hugs him. Well there's obviously something going on there.

"Oh my god it was horrible! Hayes shot matt!" Mariah says hanging all over Crawford.

"I said sorry..." Hayes mumbles.

"Okay, we need a new weapon for Hayes." I mumbles as i finish with Matt's arm. Which honestly since he shot Matt i don't have a problem with him using a gun, but for everyone else's sake.

"Agreed." kenzie says.

"Thank you." Matt nods to me. I glance at Kenzie before replying,

"you're welcome." 

"No, i heard noise in the kitchen." We hear Chris say. God damn it this prick again?

"Hide them!" Kenzie says. Crawford opens the sliding door and shoves Matt and Mariah out the door, then shuts it standing in front of it. They move out of sight right as Chris walks in with Connor.

"Hey guys." Chris smiles then frowns looking at the counter where i forgot to clean up the bloody stuff from Matt's wound.

"Alright who got shot?" Connor asks crossing his arms.

"Uh..." I look from Hayes, to Crawford to Kenzie. No one says anything.

"me.."We hear. I turn to see Matt renter the kitchen with his sister.

"What are you doing here!?" Connor asks reaching for his gun.

"We left JC's gang..." oh shit...
