Ria's POV (Didn't see this coming did you?😉)
I'm sitting in the front seat of Charles car I hear Alex Gaskarth sing the chorus of Love Like War.
"Heart's on fire tonight, Feel my bones ignite, Feels like war, war, Feels like war, war, Heart's on fire tonight Feel my bones ignite Feels like war, war, Feels like war, war."
I give Charles a look and my hand races to the radio to turn it up.
Then I start singing my heart out while bobbing my head to the beat.
I look over to Charles and he gives me a look with admiration and a little hint of annoyance.
I wonder what that's about. Anyways the song ends and Charles turns off the radio before any other song I know turns on. "Buzz kill" I mumble "What was that" he says smirking.
"Nothing you just missed your turn" I say sweetly batting my eyelashes. He chuckles and turns around.
We pull up at my house and the first thing I notice is a unfamiliar car in the driveway.
"Whose that?" Charles asks nodding his toward the car. "I have no idea." I tell him shaking
"See you at school." I tell him and get out the car. When I get to the door I go in my bag and get my keys.
I walk in and the first thing I head to is the kitchen to raid the fridge of any food.
I walk into the kitchen to see my mom kissing a man, and let me tell you it was not my dad.
"MOM!!" I yell in horror, I know your thinking, why are you screaming in horror? You should be screaming with joy!
Your Dads a bastard who hits your mom you should be happy she's with another man.
But how much do you bet my moms cheating? And if my dad finds out she's going to be dead.
"Honey what are you doing here?" She ask me with confusion but mostly anger in her voice.
"Well mom I live here with you and Dad ." I use the emphasis on Dad on purpose.
"Ria you were supposed to have Volleyball practice, am I correct?"
"Yes you are."
"Then why are you not there?"
"Canceled, but that's not the situation here mom." She gives me a questioning look.
"What is he doing here." I point to the man who was kissing on my mom a few minutes ago.
"That none of your business Ria. Get the fuck out and don't come back until you have permission."
She tells me, but I just stand there not moving. I mean how can she do this too me.
Its complete bullshit. I get knocked out of my thoughts when I hear my mom yell my name.
"RIA GET OUT NOW!" My mother yells. So you know what that's what I do. I go to my favorite place. You guessed it, the library.

Adian's POV
(He's currently in his bed thinking)
I'm frustrated after leaving the gang fight. Now I understand why boss is too. The Strikers are one step ahead of us.
Every time we do something, it seems like they already know about it and then they do something better. So after the fight, boss suspected we had a rat.
He didn't tell no one other than me and Clay because if word gets around that boss thinks we have a rat, then the rat will tell the Strikers there on to him, which will make everything worse.
I'm honestly surprised we have a rat. I mean we're all like 'brother's', so it's hard to try and think about who would betrayal us. I hate betrayal with my whole heart because of Chase. Because of Chase I'm afraid to get to close to someone.
That's why I do one night stands with girls. Some are lucky of they get fucked by me a second time. Shit, I don't even trust the gang with my whole heart. That's what betrayal does to you. Now that my mind is on Chase I don't even think I can go to sleep.
So I jump out my bed and pull a sweatshirt over my head, and hop into some joggers, and slip on my black vans then I sneak out the window. I'm headed to one place. The library.
Breaking The Habit by Likinin Park comes on by the time I reach the library. I walk into the library to see Mrs. Mitchell talking to the girl who bumped into me today, or who I like to call stormy. Both her and Mrs. Mitchell stop to see who came, which was me.
"Oh hello my dear." Mrs. Mitchell says in a tone that's like, I already know why your here tone. Stormy looks back at Mrs. Mitchell.
"Uhhhhh I'm gonna go look at some books." Stormy says awkwardly then walks away.
"What's up with her?" I glance over my shoulder looking at her.
"Nothing Adian, she's just shy around strangers, doesn't like meeting new people is a way you can put it." Mrs. Mitchell explains. "You should try talking to her, she's actually sweet once you know her." She tells me, wiggling her eyebrows. I roll my eyes at her antics.
"I'm only going to talk to her because I'm curious." I tell Mrs. Mitchell. Then I start to head over where Stormy went. Before I get to far Mrs. Mitchell chuckles saying,
"Curiosity killed the cat Adian."
I finally spot her, in the Greek section. I hover over her shoulder to see what book she's looking at.
"Ahhhh the old tale of Aphrodite and her love scandal between Hephaestus and Ares." I explain and she jumps back with wide eyes.
"Gods!" She yells. "You scared the fuck out of me." She says and her wide eyes replace with a glare, and if looks could kill I would be dead right now because her glare is good. It doesn't phase me though.
"That was my plan Stormy." I say laughing quietly. She glares at me again.
"My name is not Stormy." She says sounding distasteful as she says Stormy.
"Then what is it, Stormy." I say trying to push her buttons.
"I am not giving my name to a stranger." She states.
"What is it you want to know?" I ask, quite annoyed.
She looks at me confused before she says "Your name."
"You expect me to give you my name if you don't want to give me yours?" I say looking at her like she's stupid.
"Do you want my name or not Mr.Violet." She smirks as my face reacts to my new nickname. I step closer to her.
"Call me that again and your dead." "Now my name is Adian and that is the only thing you will call me."
She steps back and takes a deep breath before she whispers in a tiny voice "Ria." Before she rushes out the library.
Hey guys, sorry for the wait. Me and Arshawna have been pretty busy the month of June. As you all know it's the summer, and we're trying to come up with quickerupdates but writing a book takes time, and we're trying to give you all the best chapters we can give. Stay tune for more! And if you see any spelling tell me in the comments. I didn't have anybody to edit this chapter for me, so if it's a little sloppy then that's why.
