Toxic Devotion

Chapter 22: gang problems

Max's p.o.v

I woke up and it was 11am, I checked on what the boys were doing, they weren't here, except for Dylan, they all went to the gym. I decided to text ashley and ask her if she wanted to have breakfast somewhere, of course, without the gang knowing.

I put my phone on my bed before I went in the bathroom and took a quick shower, I put on some sweatpants and a shirt before going back to the room. I saw there dylan holding my phone, and looking extremely pissed.

'Why do you-' I was about to ask him what was he doing with my phone but he interrupted me.

'Ashley just replied to your text saying she wanted to have breakfast...she's here, and you didn't tell any of us' he spat his voice full of venom.

'Dylan I-I was going to tell you' I stuttered.

'Tell me what maxy, that you just broke the bro code?' He asked glaring at me. 'And now I'm going to break your own ass in a half' he hissed at me before wasting no time and tackling me down. I tried to fight back but he was stronger than me.

'So that's where you were last night, with ashley?! Didn't you know that she was mine!' He yelled hitting my head repeatedly on the floor.

'Dyl-an' I gasped trying to stop him but he didn't.

'Im gonna make you regret ever lying to me max' he promised as he started punching me in the face. He then got up before kicking me twice in the ribs, I spat blood. He then sat on the couch, not saying a single word. I clutched on my stomach but couldn't get up, I just laid there in my own blood..before I blacked out.

Ashley's p.o.v

Max had texted me back asking me to go to this hotel room..it was weird but he gave me the address and told me none of the gang members were there, and that they won't be coming back until night time.

I took a cab and went to the hotel max had texted me about, I asked the receptionist and she told me which room he was in.

I knocked on the door, but to my surprise, Max wasn't the one who greeted me.

It was Dylan. My eyes widen, I just stood there puzzled.

'Oh, hey ashley' he said glaring at me, no amusement in his voice.

'You came here to see max, well come in' he drawled. I didn't even answer him, I didn't know what to say. He grabbed my arm and pulled me in the room before slamming the door shut, I jumped at the sound. I turned around before I found max laying on the floor, looking half dead. I put both my hands on my mouth.

'Max' I whispered running towards him and kneeling down.

'Max' I tried shaking him, but he wasn't gaining conscience. He just mumbled something, I couldn't understand.

'Dylan what happened' I asked him.

'So how was your date with maxy yesterday night, had fun?' He rasped.

'Dylan..I didn't want to tell you guys I was here, Nicole and I were just walking and max found us..I told him not to tell you guys..because I wanted a day in New York having fun without having Val yelling at me' I confessed.

'Oh really? And you decided to tell max, instead of me? You know you could have trusted me, you knew damn well I wouldn't tell. You're a liar ashley, there's something you're not telling me. It's not about Val is it?' He asked. He knew me too damn well. Why couldn't I lie to him.

'Ill tell you, unless you answer me. I only have two questions' I told him.

'Shoot' he answered.

'Did you just beat up max, because he spent last night with me?' I asked him.

'Ashley, he lied to us-' he started but I interrupted him.

'Just answer me, yes or no?' I questioned.

'Alright yes..yeah I just beat him up' he spoke. I looked at him with disbelief.

'Did you kill mia jones?' I spoke above a whisper, Dylan's eyes widen.

'Who told-' he was about to ask me but again, I interrupted him.

'Did you kill her Dylan?' I asked.

'Yes..I did..I fucking did okay! I killed her! I KILLED MIA JONES' he yelled.

'Don't you ever talk to me, in your life ever again. You are nothing but a killer!' I yelled back as I was about to leave the room he grabbed my arm and turned me around so I was facing him.

'Don't walk away from me' he growled.

'Dylan let go right now' I said but he didn't. And so without thinking, I slapped him. He clutched his cheek.

'You just made a mistake' he spoke slowly, his lips twitched.

'I have to go' I informed him.

'Oh, ashley, you're not going anywhere now' he whispered. His voice sent shivers down my spine. I couldn't look at him, but then he forcefully lifted my chin up to make me look at him.

'Im not Sarah, nor one of those pathetic girls you spend your time with, so be careful with what you're doing here' he threatened. I think I've never been more scared in my life.

'Ashley' max coughed slowly getting up.

'Want some more max?' Dylan raised his eyebrows, he was making his way towards max. I ran and stood in front of max placing both my hands on Dylan's chest.

'Dylan please stop' I begged.

'This fucking cunt-' Dylan cursed.

'Are you pissed at the fact I could steal your girl?' Max taunted. Max was seriously not helping his case.

'Seems like max didn't learn his lesson' Dylan spat.

'Dylan please' I cracked. I broke down. I started crying uncontrollably. I was hiding my face with my hands and crying my heart out.

'Whats going on?' Lucas asked coming in.

'Ashley!' I heard Val's voice.

'Just...all of you leave me alone! Get out of my life, I hate you all!' I shrieked.

No one said anything, they were all shocked.

'Im sorry' Dylan started but I ran outside, Val following me.

He grabbed my arm and turned me around.

'Please not right now Val, just not now' I cried.

'Come here' he said engulfing me with a hug, I just cried in his arms.

'Who made you sad lil sis?' He asked but I just cried harder. Wow that didn't happen since..dad died.
