eleven.

I gasped at the face being revealed- it was my brother's. Zack didn't focus on me though- his gaze was on Rakim's face. My brother had pulled out a gun, and a glance at Rakim told me he had done the same. "I'm just protecting your sister's ass", Rakim fired his finger on the trigger. "Don't you fucking lie Mayers, you kidnapped her! Keep Zara out of this, damn!", he yelled. "I ain't kidnapping nobody", Rakim said dangerously calm. "Put the gun down, Rakim. Zack, you too. Put it down", I said.

"Yo brother gon shoot me if I do so", Rakim said, not moving. "Nobody is getting shot tonight", I made clear, standing between them and extending my arms. "Give me your weapons." Zack sighed. "Zara, I can't. He'll kill me. We hate each other, it's not that easy. How did you even end up with him, what happened?", he asked, getting louder again towards the end. 

I ignored him. "I'm making you an offer", Zack said. "You ain't hurting me tonight, I ain't hurting you, we're just chilling for once. Deal?", he asked. Rakim sighed and nodded. "So be it. You better be forreal", he said, giving me his gun, almost contemporaneously with Zack. I could immediately feel the atmosphere being relieved. 

"So what happened?", Zack asked. "You did this voluntarily?" I sighed. I knew this had to come, here we go.

"Look, everything started with that one evening. I saw Dan shooting someone, a friend of Rakim, I guess. He caught me watching him, and I ran away. But he couldn't catch up to me, he screamed after me that he was gonna find me and that he was gonna hurt me if I told anyone. Now, I didn't know where to go, cause if I went home, he wouldn't even have to look for me. Next thing I know, I was standing in this ivy square, crawling into a car whose back door was open, to be saved for the night. So the next morning I woke up in the car that turned out to be the Mob's, but it was driving. After the car stopped, they opened the back door, where I was obviously staying. They thought I spied on them, but they didn't recognize me and took me home, where I stayed. The next day, I met Ferg again, the guy you choked back in December last year. He immediately knew who I was; Rakim understood right away, too. He then offered to let me stay with him, but only if I gave him certain information about you, that was because I had told him about what had happened before with Dan so he knew I needed a safe place. I refused and left. It was nighttime, and Dan happened to find me. He beat me up pretty badly, but Rakim came right in time. He saved me, Zack! I don't know why, but without him, I would probably be dead by now. Rakim also offered me to stay with him because he knew what situation I was in and I took the offer because this is the only place where I'm safe", I finished explaining. 

Zack's gaze wandered from me to Rakim and back multiple times, a frown was forming on his forehead.

He didn't say anything for a long time. "Dan has been acting strange lately. You're probably right about him. But...I don't get it, why would you do this?", he sighed confusedly, looking at Rakim.

 Rakim took his time to think about an answer.

 "Imma tell you the truth and I expect you to do the same when I ask you something", he said, my brother and him looked each other straight in the eye for a few seconds, then my brother nodded. "When I had sent her out, I felt like I had done something terrible. I just sent her away at nighttime because you're her brother, not because she had done something wrong and that ain't fair, you know. But after some time, I started to feel like something bad had happened and decided to go after her. So, I guess you can say I just did it cause everything other than that would have been wrong", he explained. 

My brother had apparently decided to believe him- after a moment of silence, he muttered: "Seems like you actually act a little human sometimes'."

"But you're coming home with me tonight, right?", he suddenly asked. "Zack, I...that would be dumb, you can't protect me there. You would have to be with me 24/7 and we both don't want that. Plus, I am actually afraid of him and I just don't feel safe at home", I explained quietly. 

"You can't go with him, that's Rakim Mayers, are you crazy? We hate each other! I can't even believe we're sitting here without fighting, how would that work?", he freaked out. 

"But you're only thinking about yourself again! I know it's hard, but he's the only person Dan wouldn't mess with. We both know that he wouldn't try anything with the whole Mob, cause he doesn't even have enough people to fight them with. You're not thinking about me! I would be stressed all the time, I am fucking afraid of that guy!", I exclaimed. 

Zack glanced at a blank spot. "I can't even protect my own sister and my worst enemy is doing that now, what the fuck is happening?", he mumbled to himself while burying his face in his hands. "Is there anything he did to you that I don't know?", my brother asked, suddenly sounding calm and concerned. I opened my mouth and shut it. 

I had been too quiet about this, cause he told me not to tell anyone, but I couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer. "Zara, did something else happen?", Rakim asked, sounding ready to get up and kill Dan in his sleep. "He touched me", I heard the words come out of my mouth. "What? When?", they both asked in alarm. "A- A few weeks ago, but he threatened me not to tell anyone or he'd hurt you", I told my brother while tears were running down my face. My brother looked pissed, so pissed I almost thought he would leave and beat the shit out of Dan. "It was at the party, and the touch was only short because I pushed him away, but still", I said and tried to force myself to stop crying. 

"That's it, she's coming with you", Zack said seriously. "You do something to her, and you're a dead man. Take care of her and protect her, I gotta trust you and I don't fucking like it", my brother hissed. 

Rakim raised his hands. "Chill bruh, I ain't hurting her aight?" 

"How much do you want?" 

"What?" 

"I said how much do you want?" 

"I ain't taking none of your money", Rakim replied calmly. 
"Don't kill or hurt any of my gang members and that's enough."

"That can't be! Why would you do it for free?", Zack asked suspiciously. Rakim smiled.

"Cause I am actually a little human sometimes, Zack."
