I'm not sure if I should be happy or upset that I managed to find him, well I didn't exactly find him he was here all along under my nose, that stupid idiot. I'm angry and mad and a lot of everything, how could someone who supposedly loved me do this? why didn't he tell me sooner? I could have still been with him and had a life with him, but I guess he didn't feel the same. 

Ajax makes Ty leave and I move from standing right next to him to sitting down the furthest I can away from him, I hold my head in my hands and lower them near my lap, needing comfort in my own warmth. After 10 minutes everybody in the gang came back from their business jobs, and the look on their faces each when they walked in were enough for the atmosphere to turn extremely tense, even more than what was before, but they knew that something was wrong, yet they didn't ask, they know better than that-or well some of them do.

    1:39amAfter all this time he is actually alive? How the actual fuck did I not notice this, he's changed so much that I have only been able to see it now, none of this makes sense. Do I call him Ajax or Coby? Do I mention this to anyone else or do I just forget about it and let it go? Fuck that.But while I sit and ponder I notice a shadow outside my door, and then after a few seconds knock hits, making me flinch only slightly. "Dahlia, you awake?" I roll my eyes, "When am I not?" he gives me a short laugh and then opens the door, shaking his head as he enters my room. "I wanted to see how you were doing" he pauses, "Fuck off, Coby" the words barely process my mind before I speak and I can tell he gets visibly hurt and disappointed at my words, now you see how it feels."You know that I had such a hard time having to do that, but I didn't have a choice" I scoff at him, "Are you fucking kidding me right now? I had to literally think I was

I've been here for so long that I barely know when its day and night and the Scorpos don't help, they party all night and it makes my head hurt. I'm hungry, cold and haven't had any proper sleep for a long time, I'm not sure how long it's even been since I was kidnapped with Calvin, fuck Calvin, I hope he's ok.The last time I saw him he was unconscious after we got caught off the road, I hope someone found him in time. The last time Jaxon came in here, I heard some noise outside of the door, and knowing him he probably did put an extra lock on the stupid door. I keep telling them all that I don't know anything, either that or I don't answer at all, but its taking a toll on my body and mind and I definitely know if I don't give in soon I will die, but I've accepted tha

She just stands there, doesn't talkThe person at the door obviously is a stranger, because he tries to hit on her, but as Avery just ignores it, staring at them, "hi cutie, what's your name?From what I can tell, Avery just keeps blinking slowly at the person in the doorway, until they speak up again, this time with an actual sentence.

    Dahlia povYou never really feel the pain until your mind processes it and your world finally turns upside down, and im sure if you ask anyone who has been abused they will always say that it never really does get better, they just learn to lie with the thoughts encasing their mind every day, pain doesn't care if you are with family or friends, it doesn't care that you might be happy for the first time in months or years, it doesn't care about you, and it never will.its not like you can say 'hey pain fuck off' because I don't think It will listen to you. Maybe with time things will heal, but the scars remain for eternity, and they will always remain there, they will be the thing that hurts most. Its a reminder that, the thing you might be running from, is always going to follow you, whether you like it or not, you cant outrun your past, it's faster than you, stronger than you, and most definitely can be the thing that kills you in the end. Your past wi

"Tell nobody about the missions you go on, no confidential information relating to the assassinations. Even if you get tortured, you can't say anything, understand?" His words are repeated again and again over and over. Causing me to have painful flashbacks of everything he did. "You do what I say, when I say it!

I'd never known anyone though, who would accompany me to going to one and performing as well.It had always been kinda scary too when I thought about singing in front of so many people that I don't know.But my dream came true.Sooner or later, when you least expect it.

I'm getting angrier at the second, and then the thoughts pop back into my mind, of how Jaxons parents killed my own.Now, I have 7 knives on me and 2 guns which house 9 bullets each and there are 19 gang members in the room. 7+9 = 16 and I obviously let Edison off the hook, Link has been nice to me while I've been here, and obviously Ed loves him, Avery and Saffron haven't done anything wrong, Cedric and Ethan haven't done anything wrong, but they have been assholes.Ellie and skyler are a bunch of idiots who think they own

    Jaxon PovI feel betrayed. A part of me knows that what I did was wrong, with Dahlia, she went through abuse nearly everyday at mantian, and I know that, we all know that. But I didn't care, I just wanted my answers.But if she doesn't actually know the answers to the questions, why have I been so blind as to stop? You can tell just by looking at dahlia that she has been through hell, and she's probably experienced more abuse than ever and its all because I wanted stupid answers from an assassination that happened 5 years ago.But I still need to ask her if she will help me fight and possibly kill the hounds, and I don't think thats gonna go well.Dahlia pov"I want to talk to all of you" Armstrong says, sitting down on the couch.

    Ajax povSaturday comes around fast and all I can think about is Dahlia, I know I have it bad for her, and I realise that I probably won't get her back, I guess faking my death really did fuck up quite a lot. I'm also very aware that all the others too might have secret crushes to, but I know for a fact Ash isn't keeping it a secret, after all most of the Hunters can read her like an open book.However, the gang gets drunk quite a lot and when they do, they talk quite a lot.Jace just keeps to himself now.
