. Be my ticket to hell.

"W-what the hell are you doing here, Ari?" I could see shock written on their faces and honestly, I wasn't surprised at all. I knew there was something always behind their secret motive. 

"I was driven from Mrs. Gaga's class and that's why I came here, to cry out my pain." I just felt like crying from remembering the incident. I'd never been once been late for any classes I had before. And Mrs. Gaga's class being the first was like a hot blow to my reputation. 

Jessica licked her dry lips and cleared her throat a bit nervous. I could see it on her face that they were both not expecting me to be here or found together. "I see. Let's go outside, shall we?" She questioned me. Chloe vigorously drew me outside of the toilet to the back of the school building, a little close to the fence. 

"Listen, I'm sorry, okay?" She began. I didn't know what she was talking about and I could tell she was about breaking a news or something she did wrong to me. 

"I and Jessica are dating." She confessed. 

~And that's when she knew her jaw dropped~

"I know that. I saw your cheeks with a little blush on it." I smiled and hugged them both. They were both confused and their facial expression was priceless. 

"You mean you're okay with it? Us? Together? Like seriously? Hey, were you hit by a bus or something? You o-"

"I'm okay," I said with a pout. "And I wasn't hit by a bus. I'm totally sane." I told. She gazed at Jessica with a small smile.

"Oh my gosh! Bestie! Thank you so much for your support." Chloe embraced me and pecked my cheeks. 

"I'm right here, baby." Jessica glared. 

"Oops! Sowwy." Chloe giggled.

"How was school, today, sis?" Liam asked. I buckled my seat belt and placed my school bag on my lap and sighs. I hate to admit it but I really miss Adrian. It's felt like forever and Lin too. I didn't see him today in my class or in any of my classes. I knew he ditched school, and curiosity eats me up. 

"Smooth." I simply said, not in the mood to talk about anything. I wanted the drive to be silent and awkward. But I guess Liam didn't get the cue. 

"That's nice. Listen, I'm going to go get something from my friend, Troy. You'll stay in the car and I'll go get it." He instructed. I nodded lazily and laid my head on the car's head. 

Then it started. He didn't talk further and I was happy about that. For once, he wasn't being a butthead. The soft classical music played in the background and the smell of cold coffee melted the air. 

I inhaled and exhaled, trying to get the throbbing pain that was settling below my abdomen. I was still on my period. I was on my 3rd day and this was when the pain war started. The dry sound of the car's tyre screeching held me back up as I adjusted the bracelet on my wrist. 

We were now parked in front of a brown building. The gate was painted white and a small number box stood next to it. I looked back at the building and admired its structure.

"I'll be back," Liam said getting a box from the backseat. I looked back at the building and back to Liam. 

"Can I come please?" I asked ready to unbuckle my seatbelt but a hand stopped me. "No, you can't. I'll be back very soon. Please stay in the car." He pleaded. 

"Please, Liam. I'll be bored if I was the only one in the car." I said with a whine. He ran his hands through his hair, frustrated. 

"Fine. But stay very close to me. The bad is yet to come." 

I didn't understand what he meant but I eagerly hopped off the car and closed it. I interlocked hands with Liam as we started leading, making our way to the white plain gate. 

He shoved the bell button and waited patiently for something to happen. The gate automatically opened and my mouth shifted opened.

Troy must be so rich.

We started walking again to another small white door that looked like the entrance to the building. There was a small garage next to the building. I also noticed that they were cameras placed at every angle of the building. 

"Why are there cameras everywhere?" I asked, inquisitive. Liam looks down at me and shrugs. 

"Troy is very insecure."  He replied. I nodded slowly and looked back at the door waiting for it to do that 'magic thingy' again. But only this time, someone opened the door.

A very scary man.

I inherently stood next to Liam and held his hands tighter with a press. He squeezed my hands back in succour, trying to calm me down. 

This man we're talking about is 5 feet tall. His hands were very massive and dark tattoos decorated his arm and forehead. He was handsome, intimidating. His legs were well-toned so was his entire body. His head was slightly wrinkled but it was still invisible. He looked like he was in his 30's but that would be an understatement. That made me wonder how Liam was friends with this 'man'

"I have it. Sister." Liam said. Like he being controlled or something. In this case, I would have laughed at his tone but his tone was ordered and practiced. 

Troy I-assume- opened the door wider. His gaze was fixed on me before leaving me and fixing a small smile. He looked nicer when he smiled. 

"Come in." He said lowly. I felt a shiver creep up to my body before suddenly dying out. His voice was deeper and compelling than I imagined. 

The warmth left my body when I walked into his well-furnished house. It was freezing cold in here.

Just like Adrian. 

"Do you have it?" Liam asked clearing his throat. Troy grinned and sunk into his couch chewing his bottom lips. 

"I do. But give yours to me first." He told with a devilish smirk. 

He looked like a devil himself. 

Liam sighed and threw Troy the box he brought from the car. I looked at the box as it flew and arrived on Troy's lap. He cocked his eyebrow at me and looked back at the box. 

"How am I sure you don't have a bomb in here?" The scary man challenged. All I wanted to do was run away from this man and most particularly the cold. He made me slithered.

"I'm sure you won't die even if there was a bomb inside the box. Now Troy, give me what you promised me." Liam replied. 

I could feel my breathing growing ragged as each moment passed by. It was all silent. Liam watching Troy and him watching Liam. It was like they were arguing but in a silent manner. 

"Fuck you!" Liam yelled."You lied, didn't you?" He asked in anger. 

"You're right, I did. But the important part is that you believed me and that's a good thing." Troy answered. From what I could make out, It looked like Liam was deceived. 

"You shitty bastard! Son of the mother fucking bitch!" Liam half yelled. I opened my mouth to protest, but Troy's voice shut me down. 

"Adrian is in town, you know. That would be our next target. Get ready."

Hellllooooo!

I know I suck but kill me later and give my ruminant to my sister, please.
