The police lowered their guns while Tony smirked and made his way towards them, Drew, however, was not in for the plan and made an attempt to get me back,
"Moony!" Drew screamed as he struggled against the gang members who threw him to the police,
"Like Tony said Drew come find us if you want me back," I answered as I walked away with Tony through the crowd of police officers. Tony lead me back to the warehouse they were hiding out in,
"Welcome to your new home," Tony announced as he threw his arms open to show off the dump he called home,
"I think I like it here," I flirted as I grabbed onto his arm, trying to buy Drew and the police some time to get to the warehouse,
"I'm glad you like it," Tony flirted back as he threw his arm around my shoulder,
"Shall I show you our room?" Tony whispered into my ear and giggled while nodding my head, but really I wanted to puke and punch him in the face. T
Tony paced while keeping his eyes on me, "You tricked me didn't you!" Tony shouted as he pointed his finger at me, his eyes flaring with anger, "I didn't, please Tony, I really choose you because you were stronger and better than Drew," I pleaded, really trying to convince Tony to keep my plan in action. Tony faltered for a second after my pleading, but he continued his pacing and thought process, "But you came over to me too quickly, there's no way you actually fell for me as you said, there's just no way," Tony mutter under his breath while I watched the blue and red lights flicker outside the window, "Tony," I called out for him as I walked to him and threw my arms around him, facing him away from the window so he couldn't see the police lights outside, "I really did fall for you, you were overpowering Drew, who was pretty strong. You obviously are better suited to protect and care for me," I whispered into his
Drew saw me running towards him with a worried look, Drew turned to see Tony coming at him with the knife but he had no time to react. Tony lunged forward and stabbed the knife into my side, I had arrived just in time to save Drew from being stabbed but sadly ended up the victim instead. Tony looked up to see that he had actually stabbed me instead of Drew, "Moony?" Tony asked in a sad voice as he pulled the knife from my side with shaky hands, "I got you?" Tony asked once again as he looked down at his hands and saw them covered with my blood, "It's ok Tony, you'll be fine," I replied as I smiled, ignoring the pain in my side and the blood staining my clothes. The cops quickly grabbed Tony while he stood in shock and dragged him to a car, "Moony?" Drew asked as he moved to stand in front of me "Hey," I replied as I grabbed my side "I'm ok, it's just a little blood. Tony only knicked me," I told Drew
The boys protested to me turning my back to them but Dime shooed them away and out of the room; "How did they learn of our true identities?" I asked as Dime closed the door on the boys, "Well, you lost a lot of blood Saph. You needed blood and in order to give you blood the doctors needed to know your identity, the boys happened to be standing near when I told the doctors and once they heard there was no taking it back or trying to explain in order to get out of it," Dime explained as she sighed and sat next to me, "You need to stop getting hurt," Dime said as she rested her head on my shoulder, "Don't know how well that will work when I've been getting hurt my whole life," I replied with anger and sarcasm. Dime huffed at me and went to move off the bed, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to take it out on you," I rushed the words out of my mouth in order to apologize to Dime, Dime sighed and turned back to me,
Dime and I packed my stuff up after the doctor gave the ok for me to leave the hospital, "I can't believe they are letting you out so soon," Dime said as she folded my shirt "I'm kind of surprised too, but I have always healed quickly," I replied with a smirk causing Dime to scuff and roll her eyes. As Dime and I packed up there was a knock at the door, "Come in," I called out continuing to work on packing my stuff so I could leave the hospital quicker, "Anything we can help with?" a voice asked from the door, a voice Dime and I recognized, "What do you guys want?" Dime asked as she stood between the boys and me, "We just want to help and ask some questions," Brock said as he walked into the room, "Stay back!" I yelled and pulled to me, the boys immediately backed away, "We aren't here to hurt you," Tom said as he held his hands up, Tom was looking at Dime searching for Di
I sighed before looking back to the boys, "Anything else you guys want?" I asked as I sat next to Dime, "Can you come back to us?" Brock asked, looking sheepishly at me as if he already knew the answer but was hoping for a different reply, "No," I replied, my answer flying out of my mouth like the word was fire. Brock looked at me, pleading with me to change my answer with his eyes, "Enough of your begging," I spat out, very upset with the way Brock was acting, but he wasn't the only one begging with his eyes; Drew, Tom, Grant, and Nate were begging with their eyes as well, Tom and Drew begging more than the other boys. I groaned and looked at Dime, who was looking at me with pain and happiness in her eyes, Dime really wanted to be with Tom, she wanted to have the great moments we were having while being Moony and AJ, but at the same time, she didn't want to betray me and bring me back into a world of hurt, as well as herself.
The nurses were finally able to calm me down and as they left Dime and I thanked them for helping us. "So, what happened?" Dime asked as she sat on the hospital bed waiting for me to explain, I sighed and sat in the chair near the bed before explaining what had happened with Drew; "Drew kept trying to push his feelings on me and when I wouldn't listen he kissed me. I slapped him and screamed at him for doing so, but it was like he didn't understand why I was doing what I decided to do, he made it seem like I was the bad guy. Drew didn't even seem sorry for what he had done like he wanted to forget and move on, but what he did had an effect on me to this day and I can't forget and move forward like he wants and he needs to respect that," I explained to Dime, touching my lip when I mentioned the kiss. Dime sighed in frustration "Boys are so stupid," Dime said as she looked up at me with a small smile on her face, "What did
"Mommy look!" a little girl said as she raised an award from school to show her mother, who was standing over the kitchen counter cutting carrots, "What do you have there little now?" the mother asked as she smiled while taking the little girl's award. The warm smile the mother had suddenly fell as she looked at the award, Best writer in class was what the award said, "What's this?" the mother asked looking down at the child, who was looking at her waiting for praise, "I got this award from class! Everyone else got something to do with their behavior and their math skills but I was the only one to get a writing award," the little girl explained as her smile widened with every word, however, the mother's smile turned into a frown as the little girl spoke. As the mother was about to say something another person walked into the room and the little girl's attention turned to the person entering the room, "Daddy!" the little girl sh
The little girl listened to her weeping mother and her father who hushed his wife as she cried, "Hunny, it will be ok, she will overcome this slight obsession with writing and understand that following the path we have laid for her brothers and her is the best path for her," the father spoke as he rubbed his wife's back, "But what if she doesn't? What if she continues to follow this path? We will lose money and our daughter will suffer from her horrible decisions," the mother wept, her body shaking from the force of her sobbing. The little girl held back her tears as she heard her parents speaking to one another, the little girl wondered what was so wrong with her love for writing and why her parents were forbidding it; the little girl walked up to her room to where she was safe to cry her heart out. **************************************************************************** "For years I listened to you two go back and forth about m
7 years later "Dime, Saph!" Trish yelled from my room, "Coming!" Dime and I yelled back together as we ran to Trish. Trish laughed as Dime and I stumbled into my room, "These boxes are ready to go," Trish said as she suppressed her laughter, Dime and I nodded as we picked up the boxes Trish pointed to. "Are we actually moving out?" Dime asked as she set the two boxes she was carrying in the bed of the truck, "We are," I said to Dime, knowing she was just amazed by the fact that we were leaving our safe spot, "Come on girls there are more boxes up here!" Dave yelled from the stairs, "We are coming!" I yelled up to him. "Honestly, it's more surprising that we are moving into new houses without each other," I said to Dime as we climbed the stairs, "Well, we tried convening them to let the four of us move into one house, but those two are too stubborn," Dime grumbled a
Drew and Tom were standing in front of our door, "What do you want?" I asked them, getting really annoyed with their antics, "We just want to talk," Tom said as he looked to Dime, "Fine," Dime said as she grabbed Tom and walked to her room. "Can we talk as well?" Drew asks before I can go after Dime and Tom, "Fine, but you have to come to my room. I have to finish packing," I said as I walked away from him, "Sounds good to me," Drew said as he shut the door and jogged after me. We walked past Dime's room to see the door closed "Tch," I clicked my tongue as we passed by; she obviously didn't want me to hear what was being said. Drew entered the room behind me and closed my door, "Why did you close my door?" I asked as I snapped my head around to look at him, "So we can talk without interrupting Dime and Tom, and so you can't try to get rid of me," Drew said as he sm
Dime and I pulled into the apartment parking lot and waited for Dave and Trish. "How are you doing?" Dime asked me, "I'm fine," I answered as I kept an eye out for Dave and Trish, "Are you sure?" Dime asked as she looked at me with worried eyes, "Yes, I'm sure. Dime, even though we went through a lot today, we made big decisions and made it through the day even though there were a ton of obstacles," I answered as I smiled at her; Dime smiled back as Dave and Trish parked next to us, "Shall we?" I asked Dime, "We shall," Dime replied as she got out of the truck. Trish was in the kitchen cooking dinner, she kicked us out, yelling about how w
Trish and Dave grabbed Dime and me as they headed for the parking lot, "Meet you at the apartments?" Dave asked as we stopped in front of my truck, "Sounds good to me," Dime responded as she nodded in agreement, Dime was so ready to get off of the school grounds and go home, and I didn't blame her, "Yes please," I responded; Dave and Trish nodded before saying goodbye and walked to the car they came in. "Let's go, now," Dime said as she opened the passenger door to the truck, "I agree before anything else happens, let's get out of here," I agreed and went to open the driver's door when I was stopped by a hand grabbing the door handle. "We need to talk, Saph," a voice echoed in my ears as the person spoke from behind me, "Great, here we go again," I whispered to myself as I turned around to see the boys standing by my truck looking at Dime and me, Drew was the one who was stopping me fro
"Now without further ado, I hereby announce that this class has graduated!" Mr. Ben shouted with a huge proud smile on his face, then we, students, threw our caps into the air and shouted with happiness. I laughed as I watched my classmates hug one another, I watched as some even cried as they caught their falling caps, and I watched as many laughed and ran to their families in happiness; I looked to Dime and smiled, "Shall we go see 'our parents'," I asked as I nodded to the crowd leaving the bleachers, "We shall," Dime smiled, happy we actually had people to celebrate our graduation with. Dime and I ran towards the bleachers to see Dave and Trish, "Congra..." my mother started to say as she opened her arms for me to run to her and hug her, but I ran past her to Dave and Trish, "Dime!" Dime's mother shouted as she came running to us but we ignored her and ran into Dave and Trish's arms, "Congrats girls!" Dave and Trish
I walked up to my seat noticing my brothers were watching me as I walked up, "What do you want?" I asked as I sat down in my seat, "We just wanted to apologize and ask what your plans are after graduation," Brock said as I sat next to Grant, "I'm not listening to this right now, and I'm not telling you my plans for after graduation," I replied looking forward to the stage, where the teachers and principal were getting ready for the graduation. "Saph, please, we really are just trying to apologize for our past actions," Grant said as he turned to look at me, "I don't care right now I want to get graduation over with and get away from the two of you as fast as possible," I snarled out as I glared at my brothers, who looked away from my glare. "Saph," a voice called out from behind me, I turned to look who was calling my name and shook my head in frustration, "Enough, go away. The ceremony
Tom and Drew walked up to Dime and me with smiles on their faces, "Ready for graduation?" Tom asked as he checked out Dime, his eyes traveling down her body to take in her outfit and how hot she looked, "Oh trust me, we are so ready for graduation," I responded stepping in front of Dime to get Tom's eyes off of her, "Why do you say it like you're about to run away from here?" Drew asked as he checked me out, "Because we are, we are going to a college far from here," I admitted before realizing my mistake, "Ok, get out of our way so we can graduate and get out of here," I said as I grabbed Dime's arm and pulled her away from the boys. "Wait up!" Drew called after us and joined Dime and me as we walked towards the football field, "What do you want now?" I growled out as Tom stepped next to Dime and gave her a small smile, "We are just trying to have a conversation with you two and
Dime and I woke up feeling excited and refreshed, "Ready for Graduation?" Dime shouted from her room as she got out of bed, "Totally, you?" I shouted back as I entered the bathroom before Dime, "Totally, I'm ready to get out of here," Dime admitted as she threw open the door to the bathroom and joined me in it as I brushed my teeth, "However, I'm not ready to face the boys again as well as our entire school," Dime said as she stepped into the shower, "I agree, it's going to be horrible in that sense," I nodded as I washed my face at the sink, "Do you think our parents will show up?" Dime asked as she peeked her head from behind the bathroom curtain, "I'm not sure, I hope they don't," I answered before walking out of the bathroom and back to my room. I shoved on a white crop top before pulling up some red dress pants "Wait, won't your parents be there because of your brothe
Trish and the officer followed Dime and me into our apartment, "Goodness, your parents really did make a mess in your place," Trish said as she looked at the mess around her, "Yeah, sorry, it's usually cleaner than this," I said sheepishly as I rubbed the back of my neck in embarrassment, Trish shook her head and turned to look at me "Oh honey, I believe you. I can't believe your parents would do this," Trish said as she looked at Dime and me apologetically, "How about I start making some food and you guys can talk," Dime offered as she pointed towards the destroyed TV room, "Sounds good to me," Trish and the officer said as they headed towards the room and started picking stuff up. Trish and the officer helped clean up our apartment as they listened to me explain more about my past and listening to what had been happening in the past few months, "Wow, I can't believe that all happened," Trish said as she handed
