-Dominic's POV-"He's done what?" Xavier asked nerve struck."He's convinced them all that he's doing this for my benefit. They're trying to get me to go to some people to get 'wiped clean' or some bullshit like that." I responded dryly. Unlike, Xavier I wasn't really angry, I was just tired of it now. "I know I said that we shouldn't trust them, but I didn't know that they couldn't be trusted! Fuck this!" He exclaimed, flailing his arms in the air before holding the bridge of his nose to calm down. "Fine. It doesn't matter. We were alone for four years, we can carry on working alone. Remember, act normal, don't let them get anything from you. I just-" He clenched his fists, "I just can't believe they fell for his lie!""They fell for it?"I turned my
-Jake's POV-"She won't listen to a word I say. She just doesn't trust him, Nick."Currently, Blake, Nick and I were sitting in one of Nick's rooms while Blake was explaining how things were going with Dominic to Nick. So far, he's had no luck in trying to get her to agree to what we had planned. Originally, I thought she was just being stubborn,but the more Blake told us about the way she had been acting, the more I began to speculate.I'm not the smartest in the group -in fact, I may be the dumbest after Zack- but I knew women. They were logical, forward-thinking and cautious. They'll get played but will learn after they're played. Guys, on the other hand, will just get played over and over
-Dominic's POV-Knock Knock.He was here.I got up from my seat, nodding towards Xavier and William before making my way towards the front door. Before opening it, I checked who was on the other side with caution. Seeing that it was, in fact, the person I was expecting, I let him in."Hey Dominic," Jake greeted before hugging me tightly. That was enough for me to know that their plan was going forward. There wasn't a 'sweetheart' and his face was pale, almost grave.After he stepped into the house, I closed my door -making sure to lock it securely.Walking back to the dining room, I searched the walls around my home one last time for signs of trouble and apart from the open window which I closed shortly after, ever
-Blake's POV-I watched from afar with my hands clenching my gun as my brother walked towards Dominic's house, ready to start our plan.I was bothered. Really bothered. It was bad enough that Dominic and I have been on off terms because of this whole situation but it was worse that she and Jake had gotten closer as we drifted. She seemed to be more comfortable with him than she used to be, and it really bothered me. Why?I knew it was bad to think of my brother as someone who would hurt me. I knew that the trust he had from me was well deserved and he wouldn't do anything to tarnish that but...why?Why were they meeting more frequently while we're in a situation so chaotic? Wh
-Arthur's POV-I watched intently as Jake stepped out of the house, scanning the area before picking up his phone."Let's start, everyone, go!" Nick instructed and with that Blake shot at each hinge of Dominic's door which had closed as Jake exited. The shots had caused the door to fall and as it did, Nick, Zack and I ran in whilst Jason and Blake had stayed out to guard just in case they get out.If I didn't have my other motive, then leaving Zack out there to guard as well would have been a smarter choice. Nick had caught onto this as well, but I convinced him otherwise. Even though I wanted us to succeed, I needed the other gang to succeed more and so I needed the least defence on the outside as possible.With that going through my head, we made it into
-Xavier's POV-"Tied them all up?" I asked as I carried a passed-out Zack and Nick on my shoulders into the dining room.The fight against all of these boys was rough. It was no wonder they were one of the strongest gangs in their generation. I was impressed, sure, but they weren't at my level, not yet. Perhaps that was why they asked Demon to join them over me and I'll give it to them for being that smart at least."Yeah," William replied, wrapping some bandages over a wound Arthur had while he was unconscious. "Has Dominic gone?" He then asked so I looked back through the window of the garden just to double-check before nodded at him."So far everything's going according to plan,
-Dominic's POV-Beep..."He's fallen into a coma-"Beep..."But you said the operation was a success!"Beep..."It was sir, but you have to understand that he had severe blood loss and until the transfer was given, the damage was already done."Nick pulled on his hair and turned away in annoyance and anger. All I could do though was continue staring at Blake's unconscious figure.I hadn't slept in the three days that it had taken for Blake's recovery to become stable. When they needed a blood transfusion, I didn't hesitate to volunteer. Eating, drinking, the essentials had all been pushed into the back of my mind and all I could do was pray for Blake's safety.Beside me, Jake was sitting in a chair by Blake's
-Dominic's POV-I step into a quiet corridor.Most of my days start like this one and it's not quiet because I'm alone, nor is it quiet because I instruct it to be. Instead, it's quiet because of the crowds of people who are here all stop and stare. I'm not popular here but you could say that I seem to stick out like a sore thumb despite how dark and plain my clothing is. Maybe it's because I don't fit anywhere else that everyone seems to notice.But if I were honest, I couldn't care less.
-Nickolas' POV-The lads and I walked through the school gates half of us excited and the other half, myself included, with nothing but boredom. Even the trophy cases sat on display disinterested me. The only reason we were here was that it wasn't safe in England any more or else I would have happily stayed there.Blake walked up to us and handed us our timetables which all differed to my misfortune. Yet at least we had our first lesson together which happened to be science, one of my better subjects.Before we entered the classroom Zack said something about calling dibs on the seat next to the hottest girl and we all chuckled as I pushed open the door. I walked in, looking around to see that the room was old and r

-Blake's POV-I smiled down at my screen as I read Dominic's text message explaining that the was dragged out of the house by Xavier to go and train which was why the door was suddenly slammed closed all of a sudden. I trusted Xavier with Dominic, so I saw no problem with him taking her but now the only issue was finding out what to do now that she wasn't here.I wasn't bored for long though as there was a knock at the door and this time the lads and I go up to open it with caution. When we did, we saw that Arthur stood outside with a straight face. Nick was pretty welcoming and invited him in happily but there was something about him I wasn't comfortable with. After Dominic and I's last encounter with him, hi
-Dominic's POV-Discomfort.No matter what I did or who I was with I was uncomfortable.Arthur's words rang constantly in the back of my head and it was driving me insane. 'You're not really my sister so fuck off,'. Sure, what he said upset me but it was whatever drove him to say those words which annoyed me too.I thought I could trust Arthur but now I wasn't so sure. Not only did he lie to me, but he also wouldn't tell me the truth after I caught his lie. He was hiding something from me and -as much as I didn't want to believe it- I had a feeling I knew what he was keeping hidden.Clearly, I hadn't killed the whole gang, I thought with minor anger but took a breat
