Let's Go Before Trouble Comes

Chapter 4

After chapter 5 is published, updates won't be as regular. I would also love some feedback, thanks again. I'll be quiet now...

"Luke!" I hollered the second I walked in the door. One of the guys who had been sitting and talking jumped up and pulled gun on me, totally startled. Luke came running out of his room and slid down the rope.

"What's wrong?" he asked, taking hold of my hand and staring at my makeup that had been completely distorted.

"Did you know Arrow was arrested?!" I screamed at him. He looked innocent, a fake innocence.

His eyes wandered down to the bare skin on my stomach, then scanned my legs. I so wanted to kick him down south. "Yea, what's the big deal? I finally got rid of that asshole." Luke smiled as he talked, but I ripped my hand out of his.

"I can't believe you!" I slapped him, and walked away.

"Did you really just do that?" Luke yelled, rubbing his cheek and following me.

"Yep." I grabbed the ladder and prepared to pull my self up but before my feet can leave the ground Luke grabs my wrist and spins me around.

"Don't ever try that again," he hissed in my ear. His nails dug into my skin, not drawing blood, which is new. Everytime I see him, I have to throw away the clothes I have on. They all end up red.

"Or what?" He didn't hesitate to hit me, hard. Nor did he hesitate to grab my neck. I strugled to breathe, and I clawed at his arms. Eventually, he threw me to the ground.

"Raven, get your ass down here!" He hollered, before climbing up the rope and walking into his room.
I immediately followed his lead, disappearing into my own blankets.

Hex walked in, with Raven in tow. "Go away," I screeched at them. But Raven just walked over.

"Sit up." He commanded. He wasn't playing around, no fun at all right now. But still quiet, peaceful.

"No," my reply was muffled, but I know he understood. I felt like a child as he picked me up, and sat me down beside Hex on the bed. He didn't speak, just worked. And I didn't resist, but I know I wasn't helpful.

It felt like we had been there forever, but eventually Raven quit his examination. "A broken knuckle, thats about it. Luke let your neck go before any damage was done." He did the same thing I saw him do to Arrow not to long ago, and it just made me ache for him more. They left, and I fell back sobbing.

I had just started drifting off to sleep, when there was a quiet knock on my door. "Go away! I am so not in the mood."

"It's Forge." His reply was soft.

"That doesn't change a thing." I pulled my blanket over my head, letting it soak up the tears.

"Ash, please," he cried.

"Why should I let you come in?" I called back, sitting up and looking at the door.

"Because I didn't want to be alone." I still didn't open the door, and I didn't answer him either. "Okay, I'll leave you alone. Just remeber, you're not the only one who cares about Arrow." I heard his footsteps as he began to walk away.

"Forge, wait," I yelled, jumping out of bed and yanking the door open.

"No, no. You didn't want to be bothered." He walked down the hall, going towards his room.

"Hey, I'm sorry." I ran after him, grabbing onto his shoulder.

"You should be." He kept walking.
