I can't draw. Deal with it.

Previous "Why are you smiling"'

BTW that chapter does tell about her past. It was a trick... just scroll down. If you are confused look at the previous chapter and scroll down.

Let's just keep in mind that Grammarly thought the first few paragraphs were friendly and admirational😂😂

"Elaina, how could you not include me in one of your storytimes?" Ben commented casually, leaning against the doorway, as though he were supposed to be here.

"Ben..." I hiss back. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Leo moving away from us, focused on something on the other side of the room. Why he is going to the opposite side of the room. Unless he has a plan. I decide to distract Ben more, even if it won't last long since the fear and hatred was consuming me.

"How did you escape?" I continue, attempting to keep my tone flat.

"Elaina, you did a really bad job covering your tracks. I figured out how you escaped. If you are going to burn wood, at least hide it." Ben tsked. 

"Did the other guy escaped. Why did you even send him for such a dangerous job?" I pushed.

"I did not, you should know that by now, Elaina. He just went by himself. Pretty dangerous, compromising such a mission. He just wanted the glory," Leo replied, calm as though we were talking about the weather as opposed to murder.

"How could you let such a thing hap-" I started, but was cut off by a blaring. Blue lights were flashing everywhere. Seconds later, the gang was bursting through the door.

"Phew, we actually thought Elaina was the bad guy. Oh, we have a special guest here! To what do we owe the pleasure of having the leader of the jughead leos here?" Ace replies seconds after surveying the scene.

"Leave Elaina with me and I will spare all of you," Ben replies holding a gun to Leo. All of us start bursting in laughter.

"WHAT!" Ben roared, his hand near the trigger.

"BISH, LEO ALSO HAS A GUN. YOU ARE IN OUR FUCKING TORTURE ROOM! OH AND BTW, WE WOULD NEVER SURRENDER ELLIE! OVER OUR DEAD BODIES!" Jay replies, barely able to contain his laughter just as Leo smirks and shoots Ben in the knee. Ben screams, before regaining his composure. He stands on one leg, using the wall for balance. I could see the pain visible on his face even though he looked perfectly fine.

"Well, your pretty little Elaina is actually a big bad Leo. Named the falcon. I would recommend you change your mind," Ben replies, obviously thinking he has the upper hand. Knowing very well he does not.

"Hold on, can we just see the irony. Leo is not a jughead Leo! " I laugh, knowing this battle was in our favor already. He did not bring any backup. I knew him. If he wanted to confront someone, he would do it alone. It gave them a scarier vibe. With no one to bare witness to what goes on. His weakness is he trusts no one and betrays everyone.  I hear the boys bursting into laughter at my comment.

"I am not stupid! I brought backup, they should be here in moments. Tons of them!" Ben, who is always composed, growls. I see the boys tense up.

"Yeah, and everyone in this room is going to heaven!" I counter, "Ben, remember I was one of you. I was your girlfriend-" I start, only to be cut off by a certain bastard.

"Are Elaina. You are my girlfriend. Present tense. We never broke up," He replies and I can see Leo tense out of the corner of my eye. For some reason, I feel the need to correct this as the thought of Leo believing this crap comes to my mind.

"Mhmmm considering what you did to me and others, I would rather die. So you can consider this an official break up if that is what you need. I would rather date a pile of bull shit!" I remark. I slowly walk up to Ben. We were trained to be able to withstand the pain of a bullet. Which is why Ben looks mildly fine, though I doubt he trained as much as we did and his resistance is not as good. Ben thought he was invincible, higher than us, but he was a coward who is only good at acting and manipulating. Which is why I kick him where the bullet wound is and then press my knee against it, applying pressure. I see him wither in pain and it brings some sort of satisfaction to me. My world turns dark and all I can think about is bringing him pain. I feel a hand on my shoulder and see Leo's eyes soften, pleading me to let go. And for some reason I do. I don't see red anymore and I don't want to fight anyone. I just want to hug Leo and break down, but I keep up the facade. Pretending to be fine. I then see Al slap Ben on the back and see something blue flash there. Tracker he mouths.

"Leave before we do much worse," Al growls. Ben, still attempting to keep up his facade, stays still, but I know he is about to break. So I do the natural thing and start chasing after him like an ax-wielding maniac. Minus the ax of course, I mean we are not in the 1500s. Wait if anyone owns an ax and now wants to kill me with it, please don't!

Ellie stop breaking the 4th wall!

Not my problem I am trying to remain safe. Be happy I am letting you publish a story about me!

Ben, then continues to scream on the top of his lungs like a girl and runs away as the boys stare at me in amazement. Okay, there is a look of horror and confusion on their faces, but same thing.

"So what should we do now? I'm bored!" I exclaim.

"Ellie, we just fought off a gang leader two seconds ago! How are you bored?" Leo responds.

"Meh, he was tooo eassy! All bark no bite!" I whine.

"Speaking of which, I am hungry!" The remaining 5 boys whine.

"Seriously?! How are you guys always eating and still fit? It is not fair!" I exclaim.

"We dunno," The shrug in unison. I swear these guys are quintuplets or at least have quintuplet telepathy!

"Tooo the mall!!! First, we dine, then we buy!!!! Don't think I am holding back!" I exclaim, dramatically sticking a finger in the air. And like that, we left without a single thought about the events that just happened.

WAIT! THIS IS NOT OVER! DON'T YOU GUYS WANNA STILL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO ANGEL, LEO'S SISTER.
