“Why do you have that?” Macy’s voice shook while she spoke the words slowly. Nate stood closer to her seeing that everyone was now around their girlfriends. She was the only one that didn’t have someone.
“I need to get your guys attention somehow.” Mark shrugged. Zayn glared at the guy in front of him.
“Let us out right now.” He said through gritted teeth. Jasmine squeezed Zayn’s hand not wanting him to say a word. Mark had a gun and she didn’t want him to get hurt in the process.
“Hey there buddy.” Mark smiled looking at his old friend that he hadn’t talked to in forever, “When was the last time me and you actually had a good old conversation.”
Zayn gritted his teeth pulling away from Jasmines hand, “If you want to talk then let them go and just talk to me.” He said qiucky. Jasmine grabbed his hand again.
“Don’t listen to him. If you keep him, you keep me.” She said sternly.
Mark chuckled, “Well cutie, I’m keeping all of you. So no need to try and sacrifice one another for someone else.”
Zayn shook his head with anger rising, “Get to the point we don’t have time.”
Mark shook his head, “If you aggravate me it won’t be pretty.” He said slowly.
Zayn glared at him, “I’m not afraid of you and you know that.” He met his eyes. Mark sighed walking up to the group. He stood at the bottom of the step and pointed to Jasmine.
“You.” He said. She looked up at him with a questioning face, “Yes you. Come here.”
Jasmine was going to take a step forward but Zayn pushed her back behind him, “No.” He said sternly, “You do not get her.”
Mark smiled with a nod he pointed to gun to the ceiling and fired the top. Everyone jumped at the sound of the bullet resonating through the ceiling.
“Jasmine come.” He said again once everyone had caught their breath. Jasmine tried pushing away from Zayn but he wouldn’t let her go.
“Zayn, we can play the nice way or we can play the Mark way.” Mark informed him.
“You don’t get her.” Zayn spoke every word with anger dripping in his voice.
Mark sighed and walked up slowly to the first person that caught his eye. He pointed to gun directly towards Trinity’s head. Vincent’s eyes budged out. He pulled her away quickly and stood in her place with the gun touching his temple.
“How cute.” Mark said with a nod, “You see this guy. He’s just like you Zayn.”
Jasmine pushed past Zayn and ran up to Mark so that he would stop pointing the gun at Vincent. Zayn was about to rush and grab her when Mark pulled her back with him and grabbed her wrist placing the gun against her temple.
“One more move from any of you and she’s gone.” He threatened.
Trinity stood frozen not knowing what she could do to help Jasmine. It was bad enough when the gun was on his temple. Seeing it on Jasmine was just horrible. Zayn stopped where he was in place not wanting to risk Jasmine’s life.
“Money. Grades? Anything we can get it for you but please let her go.” Nate spoke softly trying to reason with Mark. Mark grabbed Jasmine and pushed her against his body with his arm wrapped around her neck and the other hand placing the gun to her temple. It pained Zayn so much to see his girlfriend in so much trouble.
