Asher

My breathing is heavy and right now my head is a fucking mess as I stare at the person in front of me. Their blonde hair pulled back in a braid. They are bent over with hands on their knees catching their breath as they wipe the blood off their lip. Why the fuck are they here.

"Geesh dude. You could have at least seen my freaking face first. Like come on." She leans against the wall stretching her neck from side to side.

"Why the fuck are you even here! How did you- how the- what the fuck!" I say yelling.

"First of all. Don't you dare fucking yell at me buddy. Second of all," she lets out a huff, "I only want the same thing you want, and that's to keep Laylie safe" Nace says calmly. What they hell is going on. My breathing is ragged and my mind is fucked up.

"How are you-" she cuts me off.

Straightening herself off and standing tall she says, "it's a long story, but all I can say is I'm supposed to keep her safe and watch her, he told me ever since I could remember-"

"You mean to tell me, you work for her fucking father?!" I say pointing at her yelling. Before she can answer I groan loudly running both my hands through my hair.

"Hey! What did I fucking say!?" She yells. This is all too fucking weird, I had pictured her as the rich girl who was liked my everyone and got whatever she desired. Now she is standing in front of me, and is really a part of this whole shit.

"Laylie has no idea about any of this. My father and hers have been working together for years, they are practically brothers, so you see, it was meant for us to evidently become friends but then all the shit happened and that's when my father told me when I was practically still in diapers about Laylie and this whole situation. But yeah," Nace says. I lean against the wall staring up. So the girl who comforted the girl whose father vanished knew all along his whereabouts. That's fucked up.

"You've been keeping the biggest secret from the one person who trusts you the most in her life" I say still staring up at the sky then look down at Nace.

"It's was for her own protection. I had no choice! Don't start telling me about god damn lies, you're the one who works for the man who practically drove Dimitri into hiding, to leave his family behind, to leave Laylie alone" she says the last part silently. "You're as fucked up as me. You've caused her pain, so much of it. It's was all going great until you showed up and-" I can't stand it.

My anger is getting the best of me and I start walking away from this chaos.

"Hey! Stop." I keep walking. "I need to take her." I stop dead in my tracks. "I need to take her, somewhere safe." She repeats.

"She's safe with me," I say turned around now glaring at her.

"It wasn't a question" she says standing her ground.

"You're not taking her. She's safe with me, and that's final." I say walking away again.

She then yells from down the alley way, "safe" she chuckles, "you have no idea what the fuck you're even doing, you're sitting ducks waiting to be shot, and I can't let that happen" I whip around and just as I do she charges towards me. But I'm quick and move away.

"Stop! You're not taking her!" She tries to attack me and punches me in the gut.

"I need to! And you're not going to get in my way!" She kicks me in the face but I'm still standing tall.

"I don't want to hurt you!" I say moving from her punches.

"These are Dimitiri's orders to bring her to him safe no matter what" she the pulls out a pistol.
