Broken Locks

I can make you do anything....

So you know the struggle when its finals week, it's all hectic, and hard to update, but I'm trying!

Now enough of this small chatter, and lets go on to the story!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My eyes widen realizing who it is, Tyler, I forgot about our meeting in the midst of the chaos and panic.

I open my mouth to comment but nothing comes out. He gives me a look and gestures for me to take a seat. I don't need his permission to sit, I'm a big girl, and this is my house, not his. So defiantly I remain standing, even then I'm beyond scared. Why am I daring him, I don't even know what he can do to me and I'm challenging his authority. I must be nuts!

He keeps his composure, simply raising an eyebrow at my behavior as a smug smile appears, he shrugs. 

"It is going to be quite a long talk, feel free to sit whenever and we will begin." He comments.

Now it's my turn to raise my brow, I scoff. "For one, you scared the crap out of me, in my own house! Two, it's my house, so I don't need permission to sit." I cross my arms over my chest. The door closes behind me and I jump squeaking in surprise, turning in a full 180 my eyes rest on Jack's figure.

I purse my lips, upset with myself for being so jumpy, what is wrong with me.

"Fine, lets start with you explaining why you are late." He states, business like, still smug. 

My face falls, and it feels like my heart has been shattered once again, my actions become timid, and cautious, holding back more tears. "Sorry, Mar--- my best friend who's like a sister to me, got in a pretty bad crash this morning. I went to go see her in ICU...." I trail off not really wanting to really talk about it.

I glance at him, his smug eyes turn soft with pity, and I shake my head. "She's not dead yet, I don't need the pity." I snap, not knowing what came over me.

He nods and goes back to business. "I was informed that you didn't want any part of the group." I nod. "Except it wasn't a choice, especially now that you know what we need you for. It's an order."

I couldn't help myself and burst out laughing, both Tyler and Jack are staring at me bewildered. I wipe some tears from my eyes as I finally finish my episode. "I'm sorry, but, please enlighten me, who the hell are you to tell me what to do?" My sass level at maximum.

Jack who at this point is standing behind Tyler, widens his eyes and shakes his head, discouraging me to continue, but me being stubborn, I continue. 

"I mean, I barely know you, as far as I know your a freaking psychopath. What you want me to do is illegal, mind that. There isn't possibly a thing that you could do to make me listen to you. I'm not just some pawn, and I most definitely don't take orders from the likes of you."

All the smugness and polite gentlemanly looks I've come to associate with him evaporate from his face, up until now I can't say I've ever seen him as a threat. He narrows his eyes, snarling at me as he gets up and walks up to me, I slowly back up till my back hits the wall. His face up close to mine, his eyes viscous. 

"I can, make you do what you want. For one, there is your best friend, Marissa." He grins. "If I truly wanted to make you do something I can force the hospital to take her off of life support. They could inform her mom that there was just no hope and that it was just best to unplug her. I'm sure you don't want that."

I shake my head, terrified. I never thought he could get violent, but then again I barely know this guy. He smiles satisfied with my answer, his eyes gleaming with confidence and snark once again. 

He just riled me up to see how I would react! I just obeyed like a little baby! That- ugh!

"Good. I see you and Jack went together to the hospital, I do hope he was good to you. I've given him straight orders to cool it, his behavior toward you today was purely precautionary. Not personal, I assure you." He smirks. "So you guys can get along better as a group I'm also requesting that, Jack, as the leader of the group either stays here with you, or you go to stay with him. That is an order, who stays at who's is up to you two to settle."

With that he walks out the door with pride and confidence, leaving me and Jack behind.

I did it loves! I updated! Took me all day between classes to get just 800 words done!! Now I didn't want/expect Tyler to ever become scary, his personality is cool, collected, smug. Most definitely not threatening! It shocked even me! But I think this will be the only time he loses his cool.

Hope you guys like, and I apologize for the lateness of it all!

You know what to do!
