Thief (n.g.)

Chapter 25

When I make it up the stairs, I find Nash in his boxers watching the the television that I hardly ever see on.

"Well are you gonna get in bed or are you going to stare at me?"

He remarks.

"I haven't even got dressed." I reply.

"Just take your pants off."

"Yeah right." I answer walking to grab my pajamas.

I go to the bathroom and change out of my day clothes into my night close. I throw my clothes into the pile of dirty clothes next to the door. Maybe we should get a hamper, it would make it easier for me to carry the laundry down stairs.

I enter the room and lay in bed next to Nash. It's kind of weird, we've never laid in bed and just hanged out together.

"That was funny when you tripped over your feet in the store." He chuckles.

"You saw that?!" I blush.

"Yeah. I looked away like I didn't see, you embarrassed me."

"Says they guy sitting in the cart like a four year old!" I point out.

“Just kidding."

So maybe Nash is a good guy, maybe he just has a big ego.

"We should order a pizza."

"We just got a bunch of food. Don't you want to make something?"

"No, I want to chill out, so chill."

His word were a little demanding, It made me a bit nervous so I had no hesitation.

"Okay, sorry..." I say meekly.

He looked as if he were about to say something but he doesn't, and grabs his phone and dials in the number.

He orders a medium. I tried to convince him to order a large so there were left overs for the rest of the house, but he was sure that after every business trip they get take out. He promises that we'd have enough food for Hayes if he woke up.

After  we eat, I begin to worry. They've been out a while.

"Shouldn't they be home?" I ask.

"Yeah, I think I'm going to call Cam and see what's going on."

He grabs his phone to dial in, he sits a couple of seconds.

"Something is wrong." He says to him self pressing the end button. "He didn't answer."

He dials in his phone again.

"Brenna?" "Are you crying?" He jumps up out of bed. "What happened?" "Why didn't you call me?" "Sissy, I need you to calm down, where is everyone else?" "No! Tell Tasia and Matt to sit there asses down! I'm on my way."

Fear rushes over me as Nash frantically pulls his pants over his legs. The seriousness of his face is almost heartbreaking.

Nash's POV

"Brenna?" I ask.

"Nash?" She clearly sobs.

"Are you crying?" I panic while quickly getting out of bed.

"Yes." She inhales unsteadily.

"What happened? Why didn't you call me?"

"I forgot to." She says trying to hold back her cracking voice. "We had a meet up at a warehouse this time, and Cameron told us to wait in the car so he could check it out. He was in there for about 5 minutes and we heard a gun shot." She takes a deep breath. "Brent and me tried to stop Shawn from going to see what happened but he wouldn't listen."

"Sissy, I need you to calm down, where is everyone else?"

"We're all in my car. No! Tasia, Matt please stay!"

"No! Tell Tasia and Matt to sit their asses down! I'm on my way."

"Okay." I hear her trying to collect herself.

"What's going on?" Babe ask me with worry in her eyes.

"They lost Cameron." I answer, leaning over to open my dresser drawer to grab my gun.

"Oh my goodness Nash!" She squeals of surprisment. "Why do you have that?!"

"I'm apart of a gang, and have two pretty sisters, what do you think?" I snap.

"Brenna where are you at?"

She pauses for a second. "Don't be mad, Nash. Please."

Flashback

"Beth, hurry up!" I yell up the stairs.

"I'm sorry!" She smiles. "Beauty takes time." She says gesturing to her blonde hair.

"You don't need anything to look beautiful baby." I say before kissing her.

"Gross!" Brent snarls. "Can you please do that after we leave the restaurant, I don't want to loose my appetite!"

Beth giggles, and I smile. She really brought me happiness.

End of Flashback

"You're not!" I growl.

"I'm sorry Nash, please come."

I see Brenna's car beside Cameron's behind the abandoned wear house. I get down low and crawl to the car. I tap on the window and she opens the door. Nobody looks scared just a bit shaken, Brenna's eyes are red from crying.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

They all nod.

"I'm going to go in there."

"Me too." All the boys say, including Tasia.

"No, I need you girls to stay in the car. You hear me?" I say pointing to Tasia. "Stay in the car."

Tasia let's out a sigh.

"Carter come with me." I instruct.

"I'm coming-"

"No Matt! I need you to stay with the girls you too Brent. We already have two people we love in there, alright? No more people." They nod. "If we aren't out in about 45 minutes," I say looking at the car clock. "I want you to go."

"No Na-" Breanna begins but I hold her face. "Our baby brother is at home, he needs you, okay. Do you understand that?"

She nods.

"Alright." I lick my lips. "I love you guys." I mean it.

“Love you too." Everyone says.

"C'mon Carter."
