"I used to think you were someone I could trust." Mahone said to me. "I experienced everything drug related with you, and then you decide to go against all of that and defend a woman that we were trying steal from? An absolute stranger?"

I rolled my eyes at him. This was the part where he tried to make me feel guilty for making the one positive choice in my life.

"Do you understand what that feels like?" he continued, hurt in his tone.

"Mahone," I began to reply, "saving her might've been the best thing I've ever done. She's helped me get through all of this pain. I'm sorry for what I did to you, but I don't regret it."

I took a deep breath as they kept dragging me along to the elevator.

"What I do regret, however, is choosing to live this life. Not so long ago, I used to think it was cool and exciting. That it was the only good thing I had left in my life. But I was wrong."

Mahone scoffed at me. "It's sad what you've become."

"No," I butted in. "it's sad what all these lies have become. I'm done believing in them, and I'm done having to live in them."

"It's never too late to change." I told him. "I've learned that now, and I'm continuing to do so everyday."

Austin shook his head, narrowing his eyes at me.

"You just don't get it, Hansen."

His friends pointed their knives at my sides as we entered the lobby. They were going to take me somewhere.

I knew that if that happened, I would never come back.

But I acted fast, and as soon as we walked out to what appeared to be a truck, I simultaneously elbowed both of the dudes in the balls, and began to fallback a bit so that I could stand my own ground.

It worked pretty well, actually. I didn't think I could pull it off.

The only reason I was going to escape is because I didn't wanna die without being able to tell Camila how I actually felt. It would've been very unsatisfactory, since the only thing I admitted to was loving her.

"Fucking stab her if you have to!" Mahone ordered, and his two friends came lunging at me.

I took on only one of them though, because Lauren appeared at my side in the nick of time so that she could take the other one.

"Do it, I dare you." she threatened with cold eyes.

Austin joined his friends and went directly for me first. I had already pushed the guy I was fighting away, and faced Mahone as he launched his fist towards me.

Dodging it just barely, I countered with a hit right where his jaw was still bruised, causing him to scowl in pain.

Him and I continued in our own little duel for a little while, taking each other's punches in an effort to determine a real winner.

Lauren hit the guy she was taking on in the balls, and basically backhanded him across the face.

Needless to say, nobody could wreck our asses.
