Hooded Teens

Chapter 29

BRANDON'S POV

"What the hell? Are you on a suicide mission or something?" Boston yelled.

"Not quite... But I was afraid it would come to this. I can't let you win," he said through gritted teeth.

We all froze. We didn't know what to do.

"Go," Boston said quietly.

"What?" Austin asked.

"GO!" He yelled.

"Not without you!" Isabel said.

"Brandon... You're the leader of the group, so make them go! It's your only choice!" He paused. "Please..." Tears began to run down his face.

He tackled John, and he pushed him out of the window, with himself. We began to run. There was an explosion and the building shook. It began swaying. We barely made it out before it collapsed. We ran to our car, but before we took off, Austin told me to stop.

"Why?" I asked. He simply pointed at Ethan.

"Ethan, get in the car!" I yelled. He looked surprised. He probably thought we were going to leave him. He climbed in, and I slammed the gas. Isabel was crying. We all were, but she was the only one with a real connection with Boston. After all, he was her dad. He was her only blood related dad. The only family she knew besides John, who wasn't really family after he became the boss of the organization.

PEYTON'S POV

I held Isabel's hand, and put my head on her shoulder. I didn't know what to say, or even if I could help at all. I was crying too. Even Ethan was crying. He wasn't crying as hard, though. We eventually got to our house and turned on the news. It was on there.

A FEW DAYS LATER

We just got done with Boston's funeral, and we all cried. I don't know where Ethan went after that, he just said he had to go.

"You know I love you, right?" I asked Isabel.

"I know. I love you too," she said between sobs.

ISABEL'S POV

3 YEARS AND 5 MONTHS LATER

"Do you like the view?" She asked me.

"Of course!" I responded.

We were on a hill, and the sun was high in the sky. She got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. I covered my face and began to cry.

"Isabel... Will you be mine for the rest of my life?" She asked.

"That's funny," I said. She looked shocked. "Because I was about to ask you the same." I pulled out the ring.

We hugged each other, and cried happy tears.

AUSTIN'S POV

SOMEWHERE ELSE

"I'll bring the cake," I told Brandon.

"No, I'll bring the cake," he argued.

"Okay, okay, we'll both bring the cake."

Later, we both met at the park. We made each other a small cake. I couldn't wait for him to find the surprise I put in it. I began cutting my cake, but there was something hard in it. Did I get the wrong cake? I dug it out, and there was a small plastic box.  I looked up and saw Brandon holding a small box as well. We open it at the same time, and there was a ring located inside.

"Will you–" Brandon began.

"Wait. Don't ask. Because the answer is yes."

We both kissed each other for a few seconds before our phone started ringing. It was a group call, with Ethan, Peyton, and us. I answered it.

ETHAN'S POV

They both finally answered.

"Put it on speaker." They both did.

"ETHAN!!!" They all yelled.

"Was this a setup?" Austin asked.

"Umm, well, uh, maybe?" I laughed.

"Well, it's kinda obvious since you told us to do it, and even paid for us to get the same ring," Isabel said.

"You did the same thing for us!" Brandon yelled.

"Okay, okay, calm down. I did. I thought it would be cute," I admitted.

We spend the rest of the day at the house, planning for the wedding.
