Anastasia's POV
"We are gonna be the queens of the party Ana" said Payton aka my best friend. We've been through it all. You name it we've done it.
"Yeah, sure we are" I said as I rolled my eyes. We are currently walking to a new club that's really popular at the moment in New York.
We were almost there when I had a strange feeling that someone was following us. When I turned around that person was gone. Weird.
"Hey Pay, we should walk faster it's getting dark" I whispered to her. She nodded understanding what I meant by saying dark. The part of town that we're at is not a particularly a great town. It was a bit dangerous, when the sun goes down that's when the crimes are done. Rape, murder, kidnapping, violence etc. Its not a great town that we live in.
As we walked I still had that strong feeling that someone was following us. I turned around unexpectedly and caught the person hiding. It was a man. Hurriedly, I grabbed my phone from my cultch to call Matthew.
"Hey, we're being followed" I whispered into the phone. Payton looked up suddenly hearing what I said.
"Okay, where are you guys?" he yelled through the music.
"We're going to the club. We're between 14th and 13th." I whispered to the phone.
"Okay. I'm coming. What did you guys do to get followed?" he said.
"I don't know! Can you please hurry up?" I silently yelled into the phone.
"Okay! You should be thankful I'm coming. I could just not come and let you guys get beat up." he said. I can almost hear the smirk in his voice.
"Fuck you. Fine. I'll just called boss." I said about to hang up.
"Fine, fuck. I'll come. Wait for me at 14th." he said and hung up. What a dick.
"He's coming." I said to Payton, I saw her smile. She never admitted it but she always had a crush on Matt. I personally think he's a dick.
"What do you hate him so much?" Payton asked.
"What do you mean?" I said.
Payton saw an alley and we both slipped into it waiting for Matt.
"Matt. You seem to really hate his guts." she said while showing a smile on he face.
"I don't hate him. I just think that he's an ass" I simply said to her.
"He seems pretty nice." Payton said trying to hide her smile.
"Ohhhhhhh Pay, just ask him out already!" I whisper/yelled in the alley.
"Ana, are you out of your mind? Guys would have zero feeling for me." she said.
"He's a dick to everyone else except you, don't you think that means something?" I said trying to convince her. She didn't say anything else after because she knows that it's true.
Payton is a gorgeous girl. Her beautiful brown wavy locks frames her face perfectly, and with her brown eyebrows it makes her ocean blue eyes stand out.
"Please Pay, I want you to be happy. This job that we do, we can die any minute. Hell we can get shot in the head right now. I just...you're my best friend. I want you to live your life to the fullest. Ya know?" I said trying to explain how I feel.
This job that we do isn't the safest. We basically help deliver drugs to other black markets that are willing to buy them. Boss has so much enemies I'm suprised no one tried to kill him. Instead his enemies would kill the people that he loved. Boss had no childeren, he had a wife, but she got killed by the Westerners. We're the only family he has left. Even though we work for him, he was practically a dad to us.
"I know, Ana. I just.....ugh" she said out of frustration.
Just as she said that we saw headlights shine. Matt's here.
"Heeeeeeey Pay." Matt said as he got out of his car and opened the passenger door for her.
"Hello" Payton mummuered quietly trying not smile too wide.
"Ummm...I'm here too, idiot!" I said teasingly.
"Eh. I see you everyday Annie, but sup?" Matt asked.
"Oh nothing just waiting for my idiot friend to pick me up from a sketchy alley, while I'm freezing my butt cheeks off. But what can you do, right?" I said sarcasstically.
"Oh whatever." he said while rolling his eyes.
"Before I forget, Ana boss wants to see you when we get back. I don't know why so don't ask" he grumpled as he closed my door.
"Alrightly. You really have no idea or are you lying to me?" I asked.
"No clue, Annie" he said.
Annie I hate when people called me that, but me and Matt knew each other when we were 7 when we were in the orphanage. We both escaped the place at 16 and boss saved us. Matt's the only person that is allowed to called me Annie, no one else dared to called me that.
I shut my eyes as I look out into the beautiful city of New York.
