The secret side of me

Chapter 32

Chapter 32~ Layla's pov

Niall and I jerked forward as we collided with the car in front of us. We had a second to recover before Erika rear ended me.

"Layla are you ok?" Niall asked but I shushed him quickly when I saw the people in the car in front of us getting out.

Not only the driver but also the passenger was getting out and I knew this was all wrong. They stepped out no in a way of a panicked driver worried about their car but in a way that told me I just played right into their hand, who ever they were.

I reached behind Nialls seat and unzipped the bag while I kept my eyes on the two people in front of me. I felt around in the bag before I felt the handle of a gun.

"Niall stay in here." I said calmly and quietly.

"What, why?" He said but I ignored it and knowing he would try to be brave and do this with me a put a child lock on his door before I finally stepped out of the car.

I couldn't see the faces of the two in front of me in the dark of the night that seemed to have come to soon. In the middle of the empty road there was no means of light besides the moon which only gave enough light to see figures in the dark. I could tell both of them were men.

"I'm sorry I didn't see you stop until it was to late." I decided to play it off and see what happened, I might be taking this the wrong way.

"Layla you -" I tensed.

"This is like an old movie scene, my enemy and best friend both against me." I laughed bitterly. "But we all know how this movie ends." I said cocking my gun behind my back.

"Layla just listen to what he has to say-" Josh's voice was like a stab in the chest.

"I'd never -" before I finished the gun was being pulled from my hand and all in that split second it clicked in my mind.

"Your going to listen." Erika said tossing the gun to Mikey, the other man with Josh, and grabbing my arms before I could even comprehend.

I struggled in her grasp but now Josh was at her side to aid her in holding me down. Now I was on my knees bent in front of Mikey and over powered.

"Listen Layla I want to propose a deal." He paced in front of me in the empty street.

"I don't want any part of you fucking deal." I spit back at him and suddenly my face stung badly.

I could hear the screams coming from the car and I prayed the three other were oblivious to it.

"Layla, why do you fight? You have nothing left to fight for. Your whole family is gone so why do you stay with them?" His voice lowered.

"I-" his fist came down on my face hard again.

"Listen." He said sharply. "What we want is to have the dark angel on our side." He bent down to be eye level with me.

I struggled to raise my head to look him in the eye. "I would rather die." I spat in his face and his features were splattered with red.

"So be it." He hit me again and again, harder and harder each time and the pain became to much and it was becoming a struggle to keep my head up.

Above the ringing in my ears there was loud shouts coming from the car and I wanted nothing more than for him to stop.

"Put her in the car." He wiped the back of his bloodied hand off. "Oh, and grab the boy too." Fuck.

I was dragged to their car and thrown into the back just before it all went black.
