"Mom, this is the last time I'm helping you pay for groceries! You're a grown woman and you can't even pay for groceries for your children." I said as walked down the street.
"It's 10 at night too! Why did we have to do this now? We could have gone in the morning, it's dark and you know that not all the safest people come out at night! There drunk people everywhere, pedophiles, and gangsters doing lord knows what at this hour."
The night was dark and I couldn't help but have an eerie feeling something bad's gonna happen. My mom and I walked back home in the streets of the ghetto. Her footsteps were behind me but she hadn't replied to my rather abrasive comments, usually this meant she didn't really care. This infuriated me but despite this I couldn't do anything to control this. If I just got up and left my younger siblings would suffer and no one would help them, I wouldn't be able to take care of them. I'm only 19 and I'm trying to make a living of myself, I personally want to get out of here, move to a different state.
"(Y/N)!" My mom whisper yelled to me. "The men back there in that alley did you see them?!"
"N-no! ! Why?"
"We have to hurry! I owe him money for the... uh.. stuff I bought from him! I can't pay it off by the time he wants me to!"
"Then why do you buy this shit when you know you can't pay it?!" I said back to her.
"HEY! GET YOUR ASS BACK OVER HERE (MOM'S NAME)! YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY US!" A man's voice rang.
"Oh God.... Run!" My mom said quickly.
I dropped all the bags I had in my hand and started to sprint, my mom behind me.I pushed through the drunken people coming home from clubs in the middle of the night. My heart was in the middle of my throat and it was harder to breathe than it usually was when running, but I kept going. My mom and I eventually hit a clearing, we thought we were safe. Thought. I guess we're being to loud trying to catch our breaths we didn't hear them coming up on us. In the corner of my I saw a black shadow snatching my mother in their clutch.  I quickly turned towards it, the sounds of my mother's muffled screams were heard from the dark alley they had pulled her into.
"MOM!" I gasped.
Without any thought I ran in after her, immediately regretting it, I ran towards the light placed just over the middle of the alley. There, there was placed my mother in the clutches of four men, My mother struggling to be let go as the put restraints on her.
"Mom..." I whispered, accidentally grabbing their attention.
They all turned their heads towards me, getting up slowly was a big man, he was muscular yet not bulky, the tattoos on his body and smirk on his face gave a menacing aura.
"What do we have here, boys? What a beautiful little butterfly." He said getting closer.
My body froze not knowing how to react, my breathing became shallow and my stomach twisted into painful knotts. He walked slowly towards me, his large figure towered over me, my heart was frozen and it hurt to breathe. I dared to look up at his menacing form.
"L-let my mom g-go..." I barely whispered.
He let out at deep throated chuckle that send chills down my spine. His hand slowly made its way up to my cheek.
"Don't you dare touch her! Keep your filthy hands away from her!" my mom yelled causing them to pull her by the restraints.
The menacing man turned to my mom.
" I don't remember asking you to speak..." He said softly before smacking her across the face.
She screamed loudly in pain, causing me to jump and rush towards her.One of the men within the saw me and backhanded me making fall to the floor and my lip bleed.
"You need to learn your place little butterfly..." The leader said with a grin and turned back to my mother.
"How about I'll make you a deal, hmm?" he said to my mom "If you'll hand your daughter over to me, I'll relieve you of your debt and forget this all happened. I know quite generous, I must say I'm feeling quite blissful today... So, why not share this with others?... So, do we have a deal?"
He offered looking down on my mother.
"Mom? Please I'm sorry for what I said, just please don't let them take me..." I plead tears falling down my face.
"NO! It's my fault we're here not hers.." She said to the man, his evil smile faltered.
"Fine.. Let it be your way... Charlie, get the girl in the car, Funny, be ready to clean up a mess..."  The large man ordered, pulling a gun from his back pocket.
Panic engulfed my body completely, I thrashed in the man's arms making any movement to get myself out of this situation. As I continued to thrash and kick, the gang leader started to point is gun at my mother's head, my heart dropped in the most painful way possible.
"MOM! NO, DON'T DO THIS TO HER! MY YOUNGER SIBLINGS NEED HER! PLEASE DO ANYTHING ELSE! I'LL GO WITH YOU WITH NO FIGHTING BACK JUST PLEASE LET HER GO!" Despite my pleading the ignored me and before I even realised it  I was being restrained with rope around my hands and feet.  I fell backwards into the back of their van, I screamed at the sudden movement.
"No! Lemme go! Please!" I cry and struggle as the man who had tied me up, lifted me back up and putting me in on of the seats in the van, tying me down to that seat as well. I was in their van by then and rather fortunately couldn't see the death of mother. The only sound that emanated was the sound of a gunshot ringing through my ears. I froze, my heart immediately feeling a sharp pain, a lump in my throat began to form. The other men began to file into the van, tears silently streaming down my face, my mother was gone now...And the very last thing I did was yell at her for being a horrible mom, now I have no mother and neither do my younger siblings. What am I gonna do?
*time skip*
They blindfolded me before we start our drive to wherever they were taking me, when we finally arrived they harshly pulled me from the van. I was still tied up, I felt the rough ropes harshly digging into my skin every step that I took. The man with the chubby round face pulled the blindfold off of my face and revealed a big, white, marble mansion. He roughly lead me up the steps of the house, as we came up to the door their gang leader loudly banged on it three times. A man in a butler's outfit opened the door.
"Jordon, you know where to bring her." The leader, Johnny said walking off.
The man then proceeded to drag me up the stairs by my hoodie.  As we made up the stairs he lead me towards a door at the end of the hall.
I began to panic, struggling and fighting, twisting and kicking, making him pull me towards.
"You idiot, stop that you're gonna choke yourself to death!" He said, bring me up to the door before knocking on it.
The door was open by a young woman, her hair was brown, her gentle eyes and lips held a soft smile.
"Oh, Jordon you're home! Oh, and you guys brought a new little lady I see."
"Yes, Randi, we brought a home another one of Johnny's toys, you and the others make her at home please.." The man named Jordon stated.
Jordon roughly pushed me in and towards Randi, making me fall on my knees. I felt my knees burn against the cold, hard floor.
"Ugh, I'm so sorry, Jordon is a bit of an ass sometimes... But that's way I love him." The woman named Randi, stated.
"Why?" I asked bluntly.
"Well if I'm being completely honest with you, I'm not sure why I initially fell in love with him.. But he is really soft hearted once you get to know him, he's so funny too..."
She said leading me to the bed, I was really tired and my ankles were really sore. She had to help me up the stairs, putting an arm on my waist as I put an arm over her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Asia will patch you up too... Then she'll give you some clothes as well."
"Uhh, okay, I guess." I reply.
As we started walk towards the bed another woman walked out of the bathroom.
"Randi- Uhh who is this?" The woman asked.
"Asia, this is uhh.. What's your name again?" Randi asked.
"(Y/N)." I state bluntly, feeling myself sinking into the soft bed.
I close my eyes, I felt dizzy and tired, my head was hurting, my eyelids were heavy.
"(Y/N), are you alright?" Asia asked.
Squinted at her, momentarily forgetting why I was even here...
"Uhh, no I'm not okay... My mother just died..." I say without emotion.
"Oh, I'm so sorry sweet heart..."
"Whatever, I'm sure you both are, but please let me sleep..." I say, whispering towards the end.
"Okay.. Come with me." Asia said pulling up and off the bed.
I walked with her towards another door. The door lead to a small hallway, that lead to 3 doors.
She lead me to one immediately on the left and opened the door.
She lead me to the bed ad sat me down. She walked into a door frame that lead to a large walk-in closet. As she came out she was carrying a pale lavender dress with her, she came towards me and told me to put it on. I didn't fight her and grabbed the dress and walked into the bathroom. I peel off my jeans and my hoodie. I stare into my reflection in the mirror, I've always loved my body.. But now... I'm not sure how to feel about it, just the thought of some of these disgusting men, taking advantage of me..
A tear rolled down my cheek making me look away from my reflection and wiping it away. I put on the dress and walked out of the bathroom, when I did both of those women were gone.
I sat on the bed and looked down at my red and bloody ankles, the door opened but I didn't look up. The sound of footsteps slowly came towards me, I heard the sound of a man clearing his throat. I look up and see then man with dark brown hair and his carmel skin, his brown eyes captured mine but I didn't pay mind to it. In his hand he held a medical kit an he held a soft smile on his lips.
"Hey..." He said slowly. "Asia, told me to come check out those wounds on your ankles there.." he said pointing down to them.
I dropped his gaze and nodded, I didn't return his smile, but simply let him do what he had to. He don't on his knees and opened up the kit, pulling out gauze and alcohol.
He gently grabbed my ankle and I tensed up. He slowly started dabbing my ankle, the pain shot up my leg making me gasp and pull away, the burning sensation was longlasting and intense, making my eyes water.
Suddenly all the events of today and the pain of my ankles were mixing into one big tornado of emotions and I my throat began to burn. Dylan, watched me, he sat there with an  unreadable expression.
Suddenly a sob erupted from my throat and I couldn't hold any of it back. I sobbed into my hands, the burning sensation in my chest was the pain and anger I had held since the tragic events that enveloped over the course of the last few hours.
I heard him sigh and he grabbed my ankle again continuing to clean as I sobbed hysterically. My heart was breaking and my ankles were burning.
He finally finished and he bandages my ankles. He pulled away, but I continued to sob, he cleared his throat, but I Didn't look up.
"Hey." he said,but I ignored him.
I was lifting up by my armpits and was put on his lap. I finally looked up and his brown eyes were staring in my (E/C) eyes.
"Why are you crying so hard, sweetheart?" He asked, lifting my chin to look at him.
I didn't respond to him, I just looked away and ignored him, pulling my chin away from his hand.
"What's your name?" He asked, and I didn't respond.
This pattern went on for a while until he lifted me up once more and sat me on the bed.
"Asia and Randi have gone back to their rooms.. This is your room, I hope you get comfortable soon and I hope you'll end up speaking to me soon, cause from now on we're partners.." he said before leaving.
Partners?
