Kelvin? How would Kole know that Kelly's nickname is Kelvin. Molly had never trusted new people, she kept them closed out, sure she was sociable but she never let people know the real her in case they were lying and THIS, This was clearly a lie he wasn't the nice guy he was pretending to be, she'd had a feeling and this was a sign.

Out of nowhere, Molly stood up and walked back behind the bar. Of course, Kole was the one to notice, instantly coming over to her. "What's wrong little miss?" He poked almost sounding sincere but his stupid smirk was there again. 𝘶𝘨𝘩, thought Molly "Fuck off." She murmured. "What was that?" He stuttered, stunner as if he'd never hear a cuss word before. "I already told you, my name is Molly. NOT little miss, now FUCK OFF!" She screamed, leaning over the bar to yell in his face. Being that close, she noticed the faint scar running along his cheekbone and stared for a minute. Kole raised his hand to cover it when he noticed she was looking then stepped back. Kelly ran forward, she looked almost frightened as she grabbed him by the wrist. "Kole please." She begged before he moved her back with his hand. In a second, he flew forward onto the bar slamming his hands with a loud echo as he reached it. He placed one hand on the pump then tilted his head as he peered at Molly. Her heart pounded, the noise of his hands slamming down on the wooden surface had shocked her and now she could do nothing but stare. They stayed like this for a few seconds, the laughter of the group dying out behind Kole's shoulder as they began to notice what was going on. Molly peeked over his shoulder for a split second and she seen the horror in his friends faces, as if he would murder her, as if she was about to die. And how could she be certain she wasn't? This man knew inside jokes between her and her friends, he'd been there everyday for the past three weeks and she'd seen him fight with stranger from the street, leaving them a pulp on the floor every time. "Whatever you say. Molly." He barked and slowly he retreated back over the bar and leaned back with a sadistic smile. "You look like you need to rest, go home." He ordered. Although he wasn't her boss, Molly felt like she needed to obey this order. She looked towards Kelly, who was stood petrified behind Kole and she gave her a reassuring nod as if to say 'listen to him, for your own good.' And she did. Molly grabbed her denim jacket, that she had been wearing before changing into her all black uniform, which was really just a simple black top and jeans, from the stool she usually sat on and walked past Kole towards the exit. "See you around miss." Kole mocked as she opened the door. She said nothing, just left.

The journey home was silent. She took the bus back to her semi-detached house on brocker street and got off at the stop at the opposite end of the street to her house, Tammy's house. Calmly, she walked towards her house, she started to think back on the past three weeks when she'd mentioned the nickname kelvin but she knew inside there was none. Kelly has spent the past three weeks at above the bar in her apartment starting up her new vodka brand, which Molly one wasn't going to happen but Kelly likes to pretend, Liv and Molly never referred to her as kelvin to other people so there was no way... yeah, NO WAY that Kole would know unless he was stalking someone.

Slipping the key into the door she rested her mind. "Shit." She grumbled. 𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵, she thought, turning round and walking to her mail box at the end of the drive. Bills, that was it. She looked at the senders address then straightened up ready to go inside until she seen that car in the driveway opposite her own. Max? Max was back? In pure fear, Molly ran back to her door unlocking it and slamming it shut behind her. She did the chain up locked the door again and fled to bed.

Twenty minutes later, she calmed down and decided to make a hot drink. Suddenly, she felt really unsafe and with Tammy gone... that was heightened. Max was Molly's worst nightmare. He was the one person that could bring her life crashing down. Max's mother was Tammy's best friend and nineteen years ago they had gotten pregnant at the same time, not on purpose, Tammy was single at the time but they had decided that the were gonna name their children with the same initial, M. However, Tammy lost her child, that's why Molly was such a miracle to Tammy, she was the perfect age Tammy's own child should have been with the perfect initial and Molly loved being that symbol for her. Despite that touching fact, Max hated her, he thought she was a 'replacement for the person who should've been his best friend' well that's how he worded it when they were eleven and he fell out with her for calling Olivia her best friend. He'd always been like that, evil almost. And after what he last did to her... let's just say he was the most unstable, sociopathic, psychotic person she'd ever met. Or so she thought.

After Kole left the bar, he retreated back to his apartment in the busy part of the city. His father had kicked him out of their family home to live in this apartment and even though he was furious that he couldn't see his mother, the peace he got from his four brothers was exhilarating to him, his oldest brother Jordan was the most controlling of all, Kole was the second oldest of six, and when Jordan wasn't around, he was the boss but then Jordan would come back into town and knock him right back down to one of the middle children, although, he was definitely his mothers favourite. She called him her favourite devil, which of course made him laugh. He had always been the worst behaved of the family but then again that was only because he didn't follow there rules, however, if you asked who was the worst legally... Jordan took the prize every time.

"Hey mum." Kole greeted her as she answered the phone. "Darling!" She cried, he voice quivered with excitement, how she'd missed her boy. "Mother dear." He teased. "Now, tell me what you've done." She sighed with laughter. "Nothing mother. But I've met a girl." He stuttered, he felt silly telling his mum such things but he was infatuated with Molly and he had to let her know. "Her name?" She asked. "Now I can't tell you that mother!" He teased. In honesty, he was scared to tell her, for what her name meant would get him put right back in Ragley, if father was to know of course. "Just know, you'll meet her soon." He assured. "Good. Jordan's home." She changed the subject swiftly. "Has he brought the package?" Demanded Kole, it was no longer time for pleasure talk, this was strictly business. "It's here." She informed. "Have Marvin bring it over, tell him it must be contained and untraceable, the packaging surrounding it should be this so it can't be seen." He ordered. "As you wish, love." And she hung up. "Oh shit," whispered Kole, talking only to himself. "And it all begins.

Not long after Marvin appeared at his door holding a large square box, he said nothing just handed it over to his boss and nodded. "Thanks Marve." Cooed Kole and he closed the door on his friend. It was time for business, he could have no pleasure now, things needed to get serious.
