Life sucked. I didn't think it could get any worse.

*

It was the day of the gang party. I didn't feel very safe and I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen today. I had just gotten my dress delivered to me by Kaylie. The dress was definitely a gorgeous one. The dress top was almost like a Y of red glitter, as the dress looked like it was made out of. The back of the dress was also exquisite. It had an X that came down and connected to a half square-ish shape with a pentagon shaped hole. It went down 7 inches above the feet. There were really no words to describe how amazing the dress looked. Although, I couldn't imagine myself wearing this extraordinary cloth. It was meant for a movie star or a wedding of some sort. I guess Ace really knew how to shop for girls. Kaylie's dress was quite similar, but less sparkly and shorter. 

"You'll look like a goddess in that dress, Kyrah." Kaylie commented

I shook my head while smiling. "Will I?"

Kaylie nodded. "You always look like a goddess. Besides, those dresses are mostly ordered for gang queens. We haven't had a gang queen yet, being as we are the only females of the group. And me not liking guys is a problem with being a queen. Supposedly, the queens are supposed to end up with the kings. In our case, Ace. But it doesn't always have to be the gang leader that is king all the time. It's sort of a Sadie Hawkins situation, the queen gets to choose her king, if she wants one at all."    

"Wow, I learn something new about the gangs everyday. Thanks, Kaylie. Maybe after the party, you can teach me more about the gangs and such."

"Of course. I'm always happy to help." She smiled her innocent smile, although I knew she had not had much innocence left in her. In fact, I don't really know much about Kaylie at all. Maybe, instead of learning things about the gang after the party, I could learn more about Kaylie, and who she was.

Kaylie looked at me. "Do you want to try them on now?" 

I grinned at her, “Thought you would never ask.”

 for some odd reason, this moment with Kaylie  made me think of Kitty, and our past together. As children we would dress up as Disney Princesses and pretend we ruled the world. just like any little girl would do. But these little girls didn't know what treachery lie ahead of them. They didn't know at the time that there would be so much heartbreak during their last year of high school. High school was supposed to be freedom that year. You wouldn't have to be pushed around and be told things anymore unless you chose to go into a job that had people above you. You could choose to stay home and write, or you could choose more school or just a quiet life. Although, the little princesses probably didn't dream of the future at their age. Their lives would be changed, and never be unchanged. One would leave off to a better place, while the other stayed behind having to stare in the face of darkness and reality. It's funny to think about, when you were younger, all you wanted to do was grow up, and now, when you reach that point in your life, you want to go back. Back to a place where reality couldn't hurt you. Where you didn't have to grieve or watch your best friend die. I wanted to go back to simpler times. When I was still “Daddy's girl” and “Mommy's little princess.” But when you were in a place like I was, in the gang that I was in, there was no childhood. There was no place to go back.

 No daddy's girl.

 No Mommy's little princess.

 It was just life. Cold, harsh, unforgiving life.

 To think that a child would develop into this, was sad.

 The dress looked amazing. Fit for a gang Queen. as the time passed and the makeup and preparation was done for the gang party, we all admired our outfits. Kaylie and I both had our hair curled, our dresses on, and our makeup done. Once the rest of the gang entered Adrian's dorm, Kaylee told the rest of the gang to bow down to our first gang queen. Adrian had a smile on the entire time. He never stopped complimenting me on how I looked. For once, I agreed with the compliments. I think I did look like a queen in the dress, well, a more modern queen. It's brought by a limo and we all piled in. Me and the back of the limo, in the middle, with Kaylie sitting on my left and Adrian on my right. It was sitting up front with the driver and Ashton, Cameron, Dylan, and Sammy were all sitting across from us. We drove up to the mansion and carefully got out, all putting our fancy and professional personalities on. we walked in, it was pitch black. Were we early? Or maybe late? The lights beamed on and around us were 20 gang members. All from the same gang. it was obvious, the white rose gang. It was very carefully planned, it had to have been. There was no other way.

“Well, hello there, Red Skulls.” A man in a blue suit with dark hair and dark eyes spoke.

Ace looked at the man with immense anger. “What the hell is all of this?”

“For a gang leader,” the man spoke again. “You are pretty damn stupid.”

The 20 gang members all raised their guns, directly at Ace.

“Stop!” I shouted

All the heads turned to look at me.

“Kyrah, don’t..” Adrian whispered.

“It’s me you want, right?” I spoke

The man in blue smiled. “You’re bright, no wonder you were made gang queen.”

I stepped forward, but all guns still remained on Ace. Everyone in Red Skulls but Ace and I drew their guns, and pointed it at the man in blue.

“Come, your majesty, or all your friends will perish.”

Adrian grabbed my arm. “Kyrah, no.”

“Adrian, stop. It’s 20 against 8, there’s no way to fight back. I’m not going to let you guys be killed because of me. It would haunt me forever. Kitty’s death was enough. I can’t lose you guys too.”

Adrian sighed and let go of my arm

“Take care of Kitty for me.” I said as I stepped closer to the man in blue.

“There you go, darling. Good choice.” He looked at me with a wicked grin on his face. He then looked at the two of his ‘friends’, signaling them to walk over to him. “Take her, bring her to the leader.”

As I was carried away, I looked over to see the Red Skulls all staring at me in despair. Would I ever see them again? The rest of the White Rose gang, except for the man in blue, followed the two men carrying me into double doors and into what seemed like a dungeon. Only the two men that were carrying me entered a room made out of stone and threw me to the ground. One of the gang members from outside locked the door. But there was another being in the room. I could feel his presence. It seemed like the Devil’s incarnate himself was towering over me. But I knew who this man was, he was very familiar to me. My father. 
“Hello daughter.” His voice felt like a sting of cold poison washing over my entire body. He was no longer my safe place and he no longer had love, I could tell. His whole presence just felt cold. Freezing cold. 

“Hello, father.” I replied, trying not to lose confidence.

After I saw what he held in his hand though, my confidence was no longer existent. He grinned his cold grin.
 
“What happened to the warm and loving father you once were?” I asked, my voice cracking.

Tears started to form in my eyes. He pointed the gun to my head. 

“You think I loved you?” He laughed harshly.

It was like the memories of me and him when I was a child never existed in the first place. His laugh dripped with hatred.

"The biggest regret in my entire life was getting drunk and conceiving you. You were a mistake, you ruined everything!"

There was nothing I could do anymore. I could only sit there in the dark corner, trembling. Tears flowed down my cheeks, I could taste the saltiness of them.

"I want you dead! What's the point of keeping you alive? You're useless!"

This is the end.

BANG
