Escape

Paris' POV
If only Shaylah would've stayed out and listened to the rest of what happened. She's so broke. But I can understand why, I wouldn't want my best friend helping some girl my pretty much sister just beat up.

After Jack went up to talk to Gabby, he came down and was furious.

"Jack," I asked.

"What," he said without any emotion.

"What happened? Are you okay," I walked over to him.

"Look, I know we're best friends and everything but I hadn't broken up with Annabelle yet. So I went over to see if she was okay just so she wouldn't get mad at me and press charges against Gabby or try and hurt Shaylah. Did you see the text she sent Corbyn? Annabelle is capable of anything and I-" I cut him off

"Guess what, Jack? Gabby is capable of many more things that Annabelle will be of," I said putting my hand on his shoulder.

"I don't want you guys getting hurt by her. If Gabby is out, it's up to Monica and Emily to do something. They aren't as physical as Gabby. And yes, Annabelle is physical, if she gets through Mon and Em, you guys are screwed," he said looking down at me.

"Jack, I know Shay and I aren't the fighting type, but we know how to protect ourselves too..." I took my hand off of his shoulder.

"Paris, let me explain this. You don't know Annabelle like I do. I broke up with her. She's coming for all of you now. I didn't mean to put you guys in this position. And Shaylah won't understand that I did it to keep you guys and herself safe."

"Jack-," he cut me off.

"I don't want to hear it anymore. I'm in the right here." Jack walked out the front door and I ran up the stairs to find Shaylah.

Gabby's POV
I was pissed. After everyone went into the house, I left. I had to get out of there. I was so mad. Not at my friends, but Annabelle. I needed to get my anger out and I couldn't with everyone watching.

So here I am, the edge of Los Angeles at 1 am looking down at the city screaming at the top of my lungs.

Birds flew from the trees.

*ding ding*

C- baby where'd you go?

G- for a drive. I'm fine.

C- no you're not.

G- I'm perfectly fine. What makes you think I'm not.

C- you just caught Annabelle trying to seduce me. you're not okay.

G- okay fine you're right. I'm not.

C- come back, baby. i miss you. im worried.

G- not right now, no need to be worried.

C- gabrielle. get your ass home.

G- goodnight Corbyn.

I set my phone down and sighed. I saw a flash and looked back. It was a car. I've seen it before.

"Jack," I said squinting my eyes.

"Huh? Who's that," he asked slowing stepping towards me.

"It's Gabby.." I said looking back to my view.

"What're you doing here?"

"Same thing as you, I suspect? Letting my anger out."

"Oh, yeah, same," he said coming to sit by me. "You okay?"
