The picture above is Lucy Hale and she plays the main character Bailey, and this is what I thought she would look like so here you go to everyone too lazy to look her up if you do not already know her. <3

June 19th 11:16 am

I paced around my bedroom contemplating on what to do as Douglas sat on the edge of my bed his head going side to side as he watched me pace.

"You're seriously not going are you?" he asked still watching me pace.

"Yes Douglas, I am"I stated running my fingers thru my hair.

"You can't be serious. You'll be killed!" 

"I am. I have to protect my family. Why do you care anyway?"

"Because I don't want to lose you. You're my best friend and the only one in that whole dword school that doesn't treat me like I'm a nothing."  he said staring at me.

'Friend, he thinks of me as a friend. Of course, he does idiot. You haven't given him a reason not to.' I thought to stare back.

"I'm not going to die, they need me. I can be someone they can't have. I can be their spy. I can can get them to want and need me. Do you think I got this far by not making people want me? Of course not. Doug you've got to trust me. I know what I'm doing. Please."  I said giving him my best sad puppy eyes.

"You know for someone who just got attacked yesterday, you sure are confident," he said looking at me with a small hint of admiration.

"What wrong with being confident? Demi Lavato."  I said giving him a smirk. 

"Did I come over here to argue and lose to you or did I come to organize your closet?"  He said returning the smirk. 

"You are so right!" I said in my best squeaky voice.

I walked over to my white stressed long waist high dresser and opened my computer and started playing the song Feelings by Lennon Stella.

I walked over to my closet to find Douglas sitting in the floor hold two different pairs of heels, with the most confused look on his face.

'This is going to be fun' I thought.

I sat next to him and the long boring hours melted away to exciting seconds.

June 19th  8:53 pm

I stood out behind Dollar General waiting for my attackers to show.

Suddenly I heard footsteps and my heart immediately went wild with fear, but my face showed no emotion. 

I turned to my left and saw five people emerge.

Three guys and two girls.

The first guy was Hispanic and looked to be about 5'7 and in his mid to late 30s

The third guy was a staggering 6'8 from the looks of it, with his short brown hair stuck straight up in the air, and it made him look extremely hot.

The third guy was of average build with blond hair styled like Jack from Titanic.

Then I noticed the tall girl with long purple hair. girl with combat boots and a glare that could kill.

The other girl was much shorter and looked to be 5'1 or so. She had wavy blond hair that held my attention for way too long than it should have considering I might have been about to die.

"Hello there, Miss Hall." said the Hispanic guy coming toward me.

"What do you want from me?" I asked eyeing him warily.

"I'm not going to hurt you if that's what you think. At least not yet anyway. My name is Jose. I am the leader of the infamous gang Familia! And my dear, you have something we want." he said with a sadistic smile.

"What do I have that you could possibly want? You already got my father. Isin't that enough?"  I asked wishing I had brought a knife.

"You, my dear, have the ability to be inconspicuous. No one would ever think that you would ever join the gang that killed your father, now would they?" he asked smiling ever so menacingly.

"Why?"

"Because if you don't. Your family will pay. And you don't want that do we?" 

I looked away contemplating possibly the most important decision in my life. "No. We don't."

"Very well. Welcome, Bailey. Meet your fellow members." he said turning around and motioning to the others.

"Wait. No initiation or anything? Cuz that was way to easy."

"Well, my dear, you are a special exception. Since we asked you and everything."

"Right,"  I said not buying what he what he was saying. I'd pay for this later. In one way or another.

"This is Eva." he said motioning to the purple headed girl. "She's crazy and will do literally anything. She's tough. And will never bail on anyone. If you ever find yourself in jail, she'll be right there with you."

"This is Calvin." he said looking at the tall cutie. "He's usually our distraction. Being that tall it's hard for him to become invisible. He's mostly a lookout. If he sees anything he tells us and then goes distract them while we make our getaway."

Calvin looked at me with the second most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. (after Douglas.) And lifted his head quickly as if to say 'Sup'

"This is Mickey." I turned toward the Titanic guy. "Ignore his awful name, his mother is a huge Disney freak, she even had a job at Disneyworld as the princess Belle. (P.S. sorry if your name is Mickey, no disrespect.) He's our getaway driver. Straight out of fast and furious. Well kinda. He's also an illegal street racer."

And this is our sweet little Jenny." I looked at the other girl and she did not look sweet. At all. "She may look sweet, but she is not! She bit me once. I still have the scar." he said showing me the scar on his arm. "She is our smarty pants. She can decode any alarm system in only a few minutes."

"Meet us in the field with the burnt trucks tomorrow at 7:30 sharp. We're going to play a little game to test your abilities! Sound fun! Good, cuz it won't be. Don't forget!" he said following the rest of them away.

He turned around and waved his hand at me from behind.

I turned and ran back to my house as fast as I could. Not looking back.

'What did I get myself into?' I thought
