My name is Jamie Young. The town I live in, is ruled by a gang. Not officially, out of fear. The gang goes around and gets away with everything. Even the police are afraid of them. But my dad isn't. He's the sheriff of the town.
I'm eighteen. It's the last day of school. The last day of senior year. I have long brown hair and blue eyes.
I glance over and realize the song playing. I hate this song. I reach over and change the channel. "Hey, I like that song" my best friend Riley says. She drives me to school every morning and back in the afternoon.
When we get to school and open the doors, people are flooding into the closest door. "What's going on?" I ask. Riley shrugs and we keep walking. Then I see them. The gang that everyone is afraid of. Everyone except three people. Me, Riley and my dad.
They're all the same age as me, or younger. How are they so vicious? The leader isn't just classified as a bad boy, he's classified as a bad ass. Someone you don't mess with. He's the kind of person you go out of your way to avoid. Him and his gang.
We try to slip past them in the crowd, but the leader catches me. Enter Black. He grabs my wrist and slams my back into the lockers next to me. He stands in front of me and stares. His eyes are cold and dangerous. My back is throbbing.
"What do you want?" I ask hiding the pain in my voice. "Your not afraid of me?" He asks. I shake my head no. He's a few inches taller than me, has brown hair and black eyes. He's hot, but my dad has devoted his life to stopping Enter Black. "That'll change soon." He smirks evilly. I roll my eyes at him. "What do you want?" I snap.
"Strip" is all he says. "What?" I scoff. "Strip down naked. That's the only way you're getting past me" he sneers. "no. Let go of me" I say wanting to kick him. His grip on my wrist tightens. I want to cry, but I won't show weakness in front of him.
With my free hand, I push him away from me. At the same time I rip my arm out of his grasp. He just stands there glaring at me. Riley pushes my shoulder and we both start to walk through the hall. About twenty feet away from them, Riley gasps.
"What?" I ask. "Your wrist" she squeaks. I look down and see it's BRIGHT red. As red as...well nothing. Nothing has ever been as bright red as this. At least nothing I've ever seen. It's throbbing and I lightly grab it.
I glance back at Enter, anger and pain flooding my body. His gang leaves the school, but he stays. He goes into the nearest door. The door that leads to the roof. Riley goes to class right away, since the bell has already rung. Yet, I go to the nurse's office.
"What happened dear?" She asks me as I show her my wrist. "Enter Black." I tell her. She has me put an ice pack on it for a while. Then she raps it in the brown bandage tape. Yep, this isn't going to raise any questions.
She writes me a pass and I go to my first class. There's maybe half an hour left. I hand it to my teacher and she nods with sympathy. I sit down next to Riley.

I get home and see my dad isn't here. Of corse. He's always at work. I guess it's a good thing, cause of my wrist. He will be outraged if he found out Enter hurt his 'little girl'. I go up and take a shower. I rewrap my left wrist in the bandage tape and get dressed.
I hear the door open and hear Candy call out a hello. She's my dad's girlfriend. My mother died when I was ten years old. Candy has red hair that goes down to her shoulders and blue eyes.
"Hi" I say going into the kitchen. Candy is putting away groceries. "hey kiddo. How was your last day of senior year?" She asks excitedly. Even though she isn't my mother, she acts as my mother. She's not even engaged to my dad, but she's fun.
"Good" I simply say. Ethan walks in with his shirt unbuttoned. He goes to a private school so he has to wear those button up shirts. He's Candy's son and is the same age as me. Candy sighs.
"Good? That's all I get? Tell me details" she says turning around to face me. "For example how you got hurt" she says noticing my wrist. I glance at her then Ethan. He raises his eyebrows expectantly.
"Um...Enter Black and his gang came into the school this morning...He grabbed me and his grip was a bit tight" I told them. Ethan cringes. I didn't want to tell her what he wanted from me. Besides, it's not like I would have done it.
She nods cautiously. "will dad be home soon?" I ask changing the subject. I already know when my dad was coming home. He is planning on proposing to Candy when he got home tonight. I helped him pick out the ring and he's going to take her out for dinner.
Since I never eat much, I'm not going with them. Besides, I want it to be a romantic night for them. My dad came walking in with a sigh and heavy eyes.
"Honey. We didn't hear you come in. Is anything wrong?" Candy asks. "Just that gang. They're a nightmare to deal with". Candy glances at me and I can tell she wants me to leave. I gesture to Ethan and we leave the room. I go up to my room after hearing my dad talking. Talking about Enter, and about him hurting me.
My dad doesn't know it's me that he hurt though, and it's a good thing. When he comes upstairs, I try to hide my wrist from him. "You know I'm taking Candy to dinner tonight?" He asks. I nod yes. "What are you going to do about that?" He asks.
"Order pizza, watch a movie here with Ethan" I tell him. "Why is your hand behind your back?" He asks. "No reason" I calmly say. He grabs my lower arm and pulls it out. "Honey, what happened?" He asks with worry in his voice.
"The door slammed on me at school" I lie. I don't want him to know Enter hurt me. It would kill him, thinking that he didn't protect me.
He looked at me challengingly. "Fine. Enter Black grabbed me and his grip was tight" I burst out, giving in. Anger filled his eyes and he had to leave the room.
~~
Two hours later, Ethan and I are watching Avengers, the second movie of the night. He leaves to go get something from his room. Him and Candy will move in soon if she says yes. They do stay over a lot though.
Ding dong
The doorbell goes off signaling the pizza is here. I open the door and see Wyatt Black. Enter's older brother. Wyatt's in collage and is practically an angel. He was a bad boy, then Enter became the leader of the gang and he straitened out.
"Hey Jamie. Here's your pizza" he says handing me the box. His dad is friends with mine, so I guess we're friends. "Thanks. Keep the change" I say awkwardly handing him the money.
I close the door and grab two plates from the kitchen. As soon as I sit down, the doorbell rings again. "Wyatt" I mutter loudly. I open the door and see the last person I would ever expect.
Enter Black.
"What are you doing here? And how do you know where I live?" I ask annoyed. "I told you darling. Your not getting past me until you strip down naked" he says stepping in.
