Gene's POV

*flashback*
"...It's raining..." (Y/N) stated as she stood in the doorway. She reached her hand out before retreating it, sighing.

"I wish I listened to the stupid news and brought my umbrella." She looked at Sasha, who just shrugged.

"Sorry... I... have to share my umbrella with Zenix. I lost a bet, heh." (Y/N) smiled before nodding, turning back to the outside.

"Guess I'll just have to wa--"

"W-We can share mine!" I suddenly blurt out. I cover my mouth as I turn to Zenix, whose wiggling his eyebrows. Dang it Zenix.

"A-Are you sure? I don't wanna be a burden--"

"Your fine! You live (Address (cuz Gene is some crazy stalker--)) right?"

"Y-Yeah.." I get out my umbrella and open it, before letting (N/N) under it. We silently walk in the rain, when we come across a road. (Y/N) suddenly stops as she sees a car from far away, which wouldn't even hit us if we crossed five minutes from now. I sigh and take her hand.

We finally get to her house and I close the umbrella

We finally get to her house and I close the umbrella. I let go of the umbrella and fix my hair. She slightly smiles and sticks there umbrella out.

"Here. Thanks for sharing with me." I smile and push her hand back.

"No problem. And, you can keep the umbrella."

"What? But you'll get--"

"I'll be fine. See ya tomorrow!"

"S-See ya tomorrow..."
*end of flashback*

Choice B

"I... think (N/N) is right..." Zenix slightly growls and we make eye contact.

"What?! How?"

"I don't wanna see any dead bodies the moment we set foot out of here. I won't risk anything." I finish. (Y/N) smiles at me and I smile back, before turning back to Zenix. His eyes are darker.

"You... Your all so stupid! Why don't you get it?! We'll all get out of here faster!"

"I already told you! I'm not risking anything. (Y/N) is--"

"(Y/N) this, (Y/N) that! You only side with her because you like her. You only care that you guys get out, right? You don't care if the rest of us rot here, RIGHT?!"

"Zenix! Calm down!" (Y/N) exclaims, making her way towards him.

"Listen. You guys do whatever you want. If you guys make it out here before me, congrats, you were right! But if you wake up one morning and I'm not here, you'll know why."

"Why can't you see that we are just trying to help you?! We care about your well being and don't wanna risk anythi--" (Y/N) tries to explain. He then turns to her and slaps her directly in the face.

"Shut it. I've heard enough coming from your know-it-all mouth. I've heard enough from all of you!" (Y/N) stays quiet this time and runs into Sasha's room, then I hear a zap. I rush over to the door, only to find out she disabled the sensors. Great. I turn to Zenix, who is storming over to his room.

Your POV
"I-I just don't want anyone to get hurt..." I sniff as I hug my knees tighter. Sasha pats me on the back.

"It's ok, I understand. Boys are stupid most of the time." I softly giggle at that statement. I look up from my knees.

"Just know that I'll support you no matter what."

"Thanks Sasha. Can I stay here for a while? I want to cool off from the little... incident."

"Oh? Yeah, yeah sure."

Here is where the story continues for both choices :)

Your POV
This... scenario reminds me of something.

*flashback*
(This is in middle school. Hayden hasn't adopted you or Laurance yet and for the sake of this story your dad died, and for your mom...)

"(Y/N)! Why can't you see that we only want the best from you?! Your grades have decreased ever since you've started hanging out with the 'Shadow Knights'." My mom says, I hiss at her.

"I don't care! It's only for the best of me, huh?! When did you ever care about my grades in elementary school, huh? That was the only time in my life when I worked hard to get your approval, and I got no reaction what so ever! No praise, nothing! And now that I actually have friends, you start noticing it! Do you want me to be lonely all my life?!" I yell. Mom's eyes suddenly turn a scary red as she slaps me in the face, so hard to the point where I fell to the ground.

"Listen up, you sad excuse for my daughter. If they start finding out our little sessions, they'll start to call the cops and BLAME ME! You will cut off any contact from them, is that understood?!"

"No! I'll live my life however I want to!" I cover my mouth, knowing that I crossed the line.

"...If I had to suffer through everything alone, you'll have to as well." She then kicked my stomach (I was sitting up) and I groan in pain, flying back, laying down. She then starts hitting me over and over and I cry out in pain. I eventually use all my energy to get up and run into Laurance's room, locking the door.

"Hey (Y/N---" he looks at me horrified as I collapsed on the ground, darkness surrounding me.
*end of flashback*

Oh... that's right. Me and Laurance had a dead father and an abusive mom. Well, she started getting abusive once learned how to socialize and got friends. The Shadow Knights. Laurance alway advised me to stop hanging g out with them, but I refused. He always said one thing when he visited me in the middle of the night to check on me:

"You could've been okay. But nothing's your fault. It's the bullies to blame."

Mom got arrested when I reached the end of sixth grade because Gene called the cops on her with supporting evidence, but I still have scars from her. Hayden then adopted us and we were one happy family again. I wonder what they're doing now...

I hear a knock at the door.

I really have nothing to put here...

Oh!

If you ever go to Six Flags and go on Wonder Woman (lasso of truth), then sit in the seats that face the beginning of the line. If you do this, you'll always be on the top. At one point, you'll feel like your upside down and it's great :). I learned this from experience.
