I sigh not taking my eyes off the roaring fire in front of me. Its 9 pm and Kian's bonfire is in full swing. All his friends are here, his gang is here, Hell even Chris is here but Crawford hasn't shown up. I would ask Chris where he is, but he would just say I like him and if Kian heard that all hell would break loose.

Kian is super protective of me. Its nice at times but others I just want to strangle him because I need my freedom. He thinks that just because he runs a gang and I'm his sister, guys are going to come after me. So far it hasn't happened. He also doesn't let me date. So if Chris mentioned the possibility of Crawford and I dating, I would never be able to see him again. And that would tear me apart, because Crawford is my best friend. We've been friends since kindergarten and our older brothers have been best friends since 4th grade when they both pulled a prank on their teacher and got in trouble. Let's just say my parents were pissed. But anyway Crawford has been there for me through everything, so he knows how protective my brother is and he wouldn't do anything to jeopardize our friendship.

"Is this seat taken?" I hear. I quickly turn my head expecting to see Crawford and instead JC is standing there.

"I guess not." I go back to staring at the fire. Where the heck is Crawford?

JC sits down next to me and sighs. I study him out of the corner of my eyes. Today he's wearing jeans, a white tee and a blue hoodie. He has a black bandana around his head.

"You done checking me out?" he asks causing me to jump. How did he know I was looking? I wasn't being obvious at all.

"Its alright, I was checking you out too." he grins looking at me, Its then that I see his eyes are the most beautiful shade of brown.

"Don't check her out too long or someone will beat your ass." we hear. I turn my head to see Crawford standing there looking pissed.

"Crawford!" I exclaim getting up and hugging him tightly.

"Hey beautiful." Crawford hugs me back just as tight. I pull away and take my seat next to JC and Crawford sits next to me.

"You didn't tell me you have a boyfriend." JC says.

"She doesn't. I'm her best friend. But I will kick your ass if you try to make a move on her." Crawford warns. What has gotten into him?

"No worries dude, I'm not trying to get with her." JC raises his hands in surrender.

"That's not what you told me." Another voice says. I turn to see a guy standing there in all black with a black bandana around his hair which looks like its dyed blue. the kid looks young, maybe about my age.

"Sam what are you doing here?" JC asks.

"Ricky sent me to get you." Sam crosses his arms.

"Of course he did." JC groans.

"What is taking you so long!" A tall dude walks over also wearing all black and has a black bandana around his blonde hair.

"Ricky calm down I got caught up talking to......" JC looks at me.

"My name is Kenzie. Kenzie Lawley." I smile.

"Did you just say Lawley?" JC suddenly looks panicked.

"Yeah, she did." Crawford says.

"You are Kian Lawley's little sister!?" JC asks.

"yes..." I slowly nod.

"nice going JC." Sam says.

"shut up sam!" JC says.

"Let just get out of here before trouble starts." Ricky says.

"Too late boys, you are on our turf now." Kian says walking over with Trevor, Connor and Chris.

"Look man I'm not here to fight." JC says standing up.

"Well I think you are." Kian says cracking his knuckles.

"We don't want any trouble." Ricky says.

"JC should have thought about that before he started making moves on my baby sister." Kian narrows his eyes.

"I am not making moves!" JC protests.

"Kian stop!" I stand up and Crawford follows my lead.

"Kenzie just stay out of this!" Kian snaps.

"No! JC wasn't doing anything but talking to me so calm down!" I am about to scream, because Kian is so infuriating.

"exactly." Sam says.

"Shut up! No one was talking to you." Trevor snaps.

"You wanna go?" Sam asks pulling out a knife. My eyes go wide are they really going to stab each other!?

"That's enough!" Kian shouts.

"I agree." JC crosses his arms.

"Don't agree with me. Just get the hell out of our backyard." Kian says.

"come on..let's go." Ricky says grabbing JCS arm and dragging him away. Sam quickly follows.

"and as for you, inside now." Kian says to me. I glare at him, shake my head and start walking towards the house.

"Trevor go with her." Kian commands.

"I can go by myself." I turn around glaring at Kian again. I then look at Crawford, "you coming?"

Crawford nods and follows me into the house and upstairs to my room.

"Well that was intense." Crawford says shutting my door.

"how dare he talk to JC like that!" I explode. "he doesn't even know him!"

"umm Kenzie you don't know him either." he says sitting down on my bed.

"yeah you are right..but I'm going to get to know him." I smile

"that should go well with your brother. 'hey bro I'm just going to go meet up with the person from the opposite gang and hope I don't get raped.'" he shakes his head

"Crawford I'm serious. he seems like a nice guy." I sit next to him.

"Kenzie I'm sure he is but I don't want you to get hurt." he sighs.

"I will be fine." I smile.

"so...when do you plan on meeting him?" he asks.

"tonight."
