[book 01 of the emotionally entangled series]
An attachment between two former best friends was something no one expected, especially from two polar opposites.
Owen Bowers was level-headed, imposing his influence wherever he went. With an unsympathe...

After the disturbance of some gang news from Owen, I couldn't help but not be able to sleep that night. It was bugging me how just four hours away, a gang war was arising and we were all trapped in the confines of safety. The majority of us couldn't sleep or the whole thing bugged us completely.
"Owen?" I was awake at two AM last night to see Owen pacing in our room and after I finally persuaded him to come back to bed, I fell asleep peacefully until morning where Owen was gone again. Seriously, where does this guy go at night? Am I using the wrong deodorant or something? "for fuck's sake, where are you?"
I pulled the cover back from my body and grabbed one of Owen's hoodies from the side. Wait, or is this mine? I mean, it doesn't smell like me or anything. I shrugged before throwing it on and opening the door slightly to peak outside. There was a bustle downstairs in the kitchen so that means people were up.
"Brielle, hey." I turned around to see Coco with a book in her hand. She smiled as she pulled Michael's jacket tighter around her, "are you looking for something?"
"Oh no—well, yeah. Have you seen Owen anywhere?" I asked her as she thought about it for a second. Her hair was tied up into a low ponytail as she slowly pointed into the first room on the left of the stairs.
"Last time I saw him, he was in there on the phone with my dad. He's a bit antsy at the moment though so I don't know if it's best for anyone to talk to him, but if you're going in there, good luck, girl." she patted me on the shoulder before walking past me and down the stairs quickly. I followed after her and headed to the door that was slightly open. There was just silence in there before a growl of anger, which made me jump where I was stood. Shit, it sounds like someone let a tiger in the house, I thought. I made a face before tiptoeing away quietly and into the gym across the entrance where I could hear voices.
Yeah, I think I should leave him alone for now. Wouldn't want to be eaten alive or anything.
As I headed to the gym, I could hear Darren and Kelly talking inside. The doors were closed except for the tiny gap in the doorway. I looked through, making as little noise as I could. Darren was busy lifting weights as Kelly paced around with a stressed look on her face. She gripped her hair tightly in her hands as they formed into fists.
"Calm down...you're making me dizzy." I heard Darren pant out as a scoff followed, probably from Kelly. She was wearing Darren's shirt from the night before as she stood there in front of him, "will you stop worrying? I've grown up in this life. I'm used to it and you grew up with Owen and Jaxon. Shouldn't you be used to this as well?"
"Just because I knew them when we were younger doesn't mean they involved me in this life. If anything, they knew as little as I did, but I'm not stupid. Darren, this is dangerous. Liam is dangerous and reckless—"
