-Two weeks later-

-Jason-

"Jason?" I heard a voice call. I recognised it to be Matty's.
"What's up, kiddo?" I replied with a smile on my face.
"Don't call me that!" He said getting slightly red in the face.

Matty was the youngest one of us all, so we embraced that. It annoyed him a lot, but we all found it funny.

"Anyway, we've got to have a meeting at JCeys at 10pm, tomorrow night. I don't know why. I've just been told to pass the message on"

I felt my throat dry up as I took a harsh gulp. Whenever we had a meeting at JCeys, it was always for a mission. Not just the small missions, either.

Fuck. It was 11:13pm right now. Me and Lexi would need as much sleep as we could get for this meeting because they tended to last a while.

I didn't want to take her to that horrible place, but I wasn't going to leave her at home on her own. Everyone would be going to the meeting. Usually these meetings involved another gang and sometimes, they figured out where we were staying. I wasn't going to take any risks.

I headed back to the bedroom with mine and Lexis drinks at hand. We put a channel on the T.V and settled down to it.

I absolutely adored holding her in my arms. She just always seemed so peaceful. I would always protect this girl. I wasn't ever going to let anything bad happen to her. Not now, not ever.

I looked at the time and realised it was 8:36pm. Shit. Did I really sleep that long? I pulled Lexi closer to my body.

"Morning handsome" she said in a whisper. "Finally awake then?"
I groaned, rubbing my eyes.

"I need to talk to you" I said, softly. I had to tell her about the meeting before just taking her. I wouldn't want to upset her.
"What's that about?"
"Erm, we've got to go to a meeting, tonight"
"What kind of meeting?"

I bit my lip and fluttered my eyes around the room. I didn't want to tell her because I knew she wouldn't be okay with it. She got the hint by my slight change in behaviour.

"No, Jason. I'm not going"
"Please. I can't leave you here on your own"
"You know how I feel about them"
"Yeah, I know but. Normally they're not as serious as this. This ones with another gang, and if something goes wrong, I won't be able to protect you."

She sighed. "Fine. But I'm not okay with this and you owe me" she replied. I took a breath of relief at her comment. Thank god.

-Lexi-

I walked through the building of what seemed to be a night club. The smell of alcohol and smoke filled my nose, making me want to gag. All around me were people making out, laughing, enjoying themselves.

I thought we were going to stay down here and join in the fun, but boy was I wrong.

I clutched onto Jason's hand as he lead me through a dark hallway. So far that I couldn't even see. Then we came into a room with three or four doors.

Outside one of the doors were two, massive men. They both had muscle bulging out of their bodies. Jason had a similar build to them, however he was taller and his muscles didn't bulge so much. They had a serious, stern look plastered on their face. They didn't seem to move, besides when they blinked

We walked through that door and were greeted by a tall, slender man. He shook each of our hands. Upon shaking Jason's hand, he looked at me and then winked at Jason.

Jason just smiled at him, but I can tell he was hiding the anger he felt. I could tell that he was effected by this mans gesture.

After he shook Jason's hand, he took mine, got down on his knee, and kissed the back of my hand. As if a man would do whilst proposing to their partner.

Once we started walking to the rather large table, with a sofa placed all the way around it, I felt a hand brush past my bum. I looked behind and realised it was that man.

At the table sat a few other men. One of them had a girl sitting in know his lap, whispering things into his ear. Two of them had girls standing behind them. There was only one other man, who didn't have a girl and then there were three girls. All of them seemed to be dressed in black. In fact, come to think of it, all of us were dressed in the majority of black.

Me, Jason, Shawn, Emma and the rest of his gang sat around the table.
Jason, Shawn and Tyler sat down with me, Emma and Sophie on their laps. Not in the way the other three men did. But in a gentle, caring way.

"Take no notice of Kameron, he's a pervert" Jason whispered into my ear. I knew instantly that he was talking about the man who greeted us. I nodded at his words and then relaxed in his lap as his arms held me, as in for protection.

Kameron sat down on a chair at the opening of the table. Then the meeting began.

"So, fellow gang members. Of course there's a reason as to why you're all here today." Began Kameron.

All of the boys looked at him with a serious look. I could feel the levels of tension rise in the room, which made me extremely nervous.

I wish I could just get out of here. This was not my type of background at all. I hated it. I wouldn't forgive Jason for bringing me here.

This place scared me. I think Jason could tell how worried I was, because he started rubbing his thumb over the top of my hand, in order to comfort me.
