Chapter 55

My phone is practically died from all the calls I tried to reach Tori with, 34 to be exact.

Connor told me what happened with their little fight and, seeing how crushed he was, I thought Tori was off to go to something stupid.

The fact that she's not answering he phone scares the shit out of me, is she dead?

"Jc, c'mon calm down. She at Kat's remember? She's probably just talkin it out." Kian says, making his way past me to the fridge.

"Then why the fuck is she not answering her goddamn phone?!" I shout.

"Phones die stupid, or maybe it's just off. I doubt she's dead." Kian rolls his eyes.

"Or maybe she was abducted." he smiles sinisterly, I roll my eyes and punch his shoulder.

"Oh shut up, maybe I am overreacting a bit."

"Just a little." he grabs my bag of Cheetos- bastard- and runs back upstairs, leaving his phone on the counter.

A knock from the front door comes an I rush to it, sadly it's not Tori- but an old... friend?

"AJ? What are you doing here?" I ask her, my head cocks to the side.

"Oh just to ask for a favor, may I come in?" she asks politely.

"I don't think-" before I could finish my protest she slides right past me, her red flaming hair slashing my face.

"What's up...?" I ask her, confused as I shut the front door.

"I already told you, I've came to finish something..." she smiles sweetly, but I know that's never good.

"But you said you came for a favor." my eyebrows furrow in confusion.

Suddenly she reaches for her back pocket and pulls out a silver pistol, how the hell did I not see that in her pocket?!

I jump back, "What the fuck?! Why the hell do you have that?!" I say in a panic.

She raises it to me, then quickly swings it left and shoots Kian's phone.

That makes me jump out of my skin and socks.

"Now that I have your attention, I have your precious Tori in my possession. Not to mention her low light friend, Katerina. Now if you'll safely and calmly come with my I won't shoot your fucking brains out." she growls then perks up and smiles. She heads towards the front door, and waves me over.

I calmly follow her to the door, she places the weapon in her jacket pocket before we exit.

"Hey Jc! Hey... who the heck are you?" Trevor asks AJ, as of now he's sitting on a blanket on our front yard with Zella.

"I'm AJ, did Jc not tell you about me?" she asks evilly.

"No he never told me about you, are you a friend?" he asks shifting as his eyes narrow in on her.

"She's just a friend Trevor, we're going to pick up Tori because her car broke down. AJ came over to inform me..." I tell him, hoping my eyes tell him I'm in trouble.

"Ok..." he looks to me suspiciously, I widen my eyes and looks from AJ to him.

"Mind if I come?" he asks, he stands and brushes his pants off, "-I could get out of this house, I haven't seen LA since I got back."

"No, I don't have enough room kid, and you don't wanna lose your date now do you?"

AJ defiantly pin him in his place, Trevor's face flashes red in complete and utter embarrassment.

"She's not... I'm not... I-"

"Whatever we have to go." she says, before she could take another step, Zella pipes up.

"What's in your pocket?" she asks her, louder than I thought was even possible for a quiet one like her.

AJ stops in her tracks, she's trapped.

"It's... a candy bar... why the hell do you need to know little girl?" she snarls.

"Because it looks like a concealed weapon, but that's beyond me. My dad's picking me up in a minute, Trevor would you mind fetching him?"

Trevor looks beyond confused but he nods and jogs next door.

AJ tries to step away but Zella asks her another question.

"How did you guys become friends?"

"We met at a diner, why the hell do you care?! Tori's waiting for us." she groans.

"Ok, ok. Daddy!" she chirps, her dad comes rushing behind me to her- in a cop's suit.

"What's wrong sweetness?" he asks Zella.

I look to AJ- her face is the tint of snow, she looks like she's about to faint.

"AJ, can you show my dad your candy bar? I wanna see if I want it for my birthday party." she asks her, Zella's eyes batting.

"I-I-"

Before she could respond I reach into her jacket pocket and throw the gun onto the ground.

AJ steps back and looks to her poison, that might just kill her.

"Is that a concealed weapon, ma'am?"

AJ turns to run but the officer catches her Tiffany bracelet and reals her back.

"I'm being framed!" she says as the cop puts her in hand cuffs.

Zella's father rolls his eyes and snaps the cuffs shut, "That's what they all say."
