Yah gurl's been dancing to this song nonstop😍😍

"wha..."

"Elaina, don't try with us!" Lee laughs unhumourously. 

"I don't understand! I did not do anything! I swear!"

"Seriously, falcon?" As soon as that exits Dylan's mouth, I whimper. They know. They know. Now there are tears rushing down my face.

"Don't pull that innocent crap with us Elaina, cause you are not innocent. I bet you staged half of it. Got close to us. Knew everything to spy on us!" Jade shrills.

"No I swe-"

"Cut the crap or we may start believing you!" Jay thunders as I whimper in fear. 

"What is the falcon afraid?" Ace taunts. 

"Not of what you are about to do to me. You are right. I am the falcon. I have been through worse." I reply calmly hoping to stall them. The falcon may not fear this, but I do. Because the falcon almost died a year ago. All that is remaining, the only time she shows is during my survival mode.

"But I am also not the falcon." 

"Sure you are not!" Al scoffs.

"I am not, I was, the only part of her left is my survival mode. If you attack me, you will bring her back. Please don't bring her back. I can't live with her! Do you know what it is like being reminded of her every day?" I sob.

"No, but we now know what it is like to have a traitor of a sister. Leo was right, we should not have trusted you!" Ace screamed. They were all trying to keep themselves from ripping me apart, yet they were.

"I deserve it. For everything I have done. But just know it was out of survival. You guys don't need to hold back anymore." I sob, lightly nodding my head.

"We would, but we know if we hit you we would not be able to stop and what use is a dead traitor?" Leo taunts like a maniac, reminding me of Ben. 

"You are just like him!" I cry before I can sob myself. Truth is he is nothing like Ben, he is caring and has a heart. I have seen heartless and Leo is not heartless. Leo has a heart, but he is close to losing it. Permanently.

"Can I have one last wish," I continue.

"Depends...Probably not," Dylan said after consideration.

"Don't change. Please!" I gasp. I am scared to know what the boys are going to do with me, but over time I have learned to love the boys like my brothers. It pains me, even more, to know I will miss Dyl's humor, Ace's nerdy reading habits, Al's fascination with computers, Jay's fascination with sports, Jade's fascination with video games and movies, and Leo's brotherly heart. He may not admit it, but I can tell: he actually cares for all of those guys as his own brother.

"Please, don't change no matter what happens. Beat the shit out of me if you want, just don't change. Dyl, keep your pure, childish heart. Your love for ice cream. Your funny, cute comments," I could see Dyl and Leo's jaw tighten and I smile, a genuine smile, "Jay, keep up your love for sports and flirty attitude, Al, keep your love for computers and introvert personality. I can see your eye sparkle when you see them. Ace, keep up your thirst for reading. Jade, keep your love for video games and movies. Keep using those silly excuses to keep playing them, " I chuckle and continue, finally facing Leo, "And Leo," his jaw tightens more, "Keep caring for these guys like your brothers. Protect them from harm, but also remember to protect who they are. Never let them being in a gang change them like it changed me because I have to live with it forever. And the worst part, it was my fault." I nod my head finishing my speech. 

"I am ready..." I cry, "Ready to leave for hell, just remember if any of you go back and lose yourself, I will rise from hell and beat the shit out of you," I smile finally, knowing that their personality will always stay. A tear slips down my cheek as I think of all the memories we have had. It has been two days, but I love them like my own brothers.

Then why does it feel weird calling Leo a brother?

Shut up subconscious!!!!

I hear the boys laugh and I look up. They quickly cover their mouths as Leo glares at them. I scrunch my eyebrows as to why they are laughing.

"You told your subconscious to shut up," Dyl states trying to keep a straight face. I blush. Shit, I said that out loud.

"You have no right to care for us Elaina!" Leo rages. I smile looking him in the eye. Knowing Leo hates me and I will leave this earth with him hating me hurts the worst. I fake a smile, though. Not because I want to stay strong, but because I felt it necessary. Because I was too weak. Because,  though I am smiling, they all know I have given up.

"I guess the falcon has no right to live anymore. For the record, one last wish, keep using the nicknames. Being serious does not suit you guys," I grin.

"And question, how do you guys interrogate people without breaking into laughter?"

"You are the worst, best, funniest, scariest, and most serious person we have interrogated," Jay shrugs, fighting back the tears.

"I love you guys," I nod, since I cannot wave.

"But how did you find out?" I ask.

"We saw the video of you and Ben," Leo grits.

"You were spying on us, you were talking to Ben! We could not even watch the entire thing. Do you know how fucking hard it is to find out your sister, best friend is spying on you?" Leo spits.

"What?!" I yelp. I understand them doing this because I am the falcon, but I would never spy on my family!

"I would never spy on you guys!" I tear, how could they think I would do such a thing!

"Cut the crap!" Leo yells.

"Leo, we think Ellie is telling the truth!" Dyl smiles, only a bit. 

"WHAT!" Leo ranges, "You saw the footage yourself!"

"Yeah, but why would Ellie admit so  much, only to deny one thing?" Jade reasons. I swear those boys think alike.

"I think we need to give Ellie a chance to explain herself," Al agrees.

"Yeahh we kinda do!" Ace nods. I grin as hard as I can knowing they are giving me a chance and are back to calling me Ellie, but that is when I realize, I will have to tell them my full past. Everything. The past I am not ready to face.

"Guys, I ca-an't," I hesitate.

"SEE!" Leo roars, "SHE HAS NO EXPLANATION!"

"No! I do, but - but, then I would have to bring up falcon's past and I am not ready!" I exclaim before sighing.

"Okay, but under one condition," I start, "Only Leo gets to listen. I can't tell all of you, it is too soon, but I have to tell one of you," I nod.

I see the boys think about it for a while.

"HOW DO WE KNOW YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PULL A STUNT?!" Leo roars as I smile weakly.

"I am chained, you have a bat," I explain, pointing towards the bat with my head. There is no way I was planning on doing anything and there is no way I could.

I NEED A FAVOR FROM ALL OF YOU! Please hold on to this cliff for a second. Okay bye.

YAAAAY!!!!!! NEXT EPISODE IS HER PAST. After I am planning to do more scenes with Leo and Ellie and the boys, then we are done!!!!! Also it seems Ben is still planning something, but the climax is over!!!!! I am almost done with my first book! I cannot believe it!!! Hours and hours of time!!! Finally!!!!
