After meeting some new faces in the gang, I see a familiar one. "Joey?" I ask while running up to him. "Darling" He says while opening his arms for me to hug him. I give him the biggest hug I could give while he spins me around like a rag doll. "I missed you" I say while he puts me down. "I missed you too. What are you doing in LA? Not that I'm not happy you are here" he says with a big smile. "I live here now. I'm attending UCLA." I say with a big smile too.

Let me give you some more back story. Joey and me have known each other since I first joined the gang years ago. He's the same age as me and he was the first friend I made in the gang. He was always like an overprotective big brother figure to me. When I say overprotective I mean it. He punched a kid once for looking at me the wrong way. But he still is one of my favorite peoples in the world.

"I can't believe I get to see my favorite girl again" he says with his full out country accent. "You get to see me more than you wish to now" I say while laughing at me. While we are catching up I notice a pair of eyes glaring at Joey. I look at notice it's Ryder and when he notices me he rolls his eyes and walks off. How weird.

After another hour of hanging out with the gang me and Jackson head back to his house. While we are in the car I give Jackson a nice warning "just a little warning when we get home you are gonna want to run" I say while glaring at him. His eyes go wide and he turns to look at me and says "what did I do?" He squeals in fear. "You told my life story to some guy that I didn't know at all, asshole" I say with annoyance. "Look I didn't tell him the important parts. I only told him the other parts because he needed hope. He went through something similar and I needed to show him that you made it out alive" he says with what seems like sadness. "What do you mean? What happened to him?" I ask. "It's not my business to say but just know this isn't his first time in a gang." He says while parking the car. "Okay now I need to know if you are still going to hurt me or not because I need to be ready to run" he says while eying me down. "No I'm too tired. This is your only free pass from a beating" I say while getting out of the car. "Thank god. I'm sorry I told your story I just admire what you did" he says while side hugging me a giving me a kiss on the head. "Thanks but you really shouldn't admire it" I say walking to his guest room and closing the door.

I look at my phone and see a couple text. One from Joey that reads
"Hey darling! Do you want to get lunch the day after next?"
I reply with "Sure text me where and when :)"
I go on to my next texts to see they are from a unknown number.
"Hey princess"
"Guess who?"
I respond with "Let me guess the jerk I live with?" I say and lay down on the bed. The next thing I know my phone buzzes.
"The incredibly good looking jerk ;)" he responds with. "Cocky and arrogant too" I say. "Look tomorrow I want to talk to you about something but for now Goodnight Princess" I question what he wants to talk about and ignore it and respond with "Goodnight jerkface" after that all my thoughts are filled with Ryder and what he wants to talk about. After thinking for a while I drift off to sleep.
