Willow's pov
"So you're sure I can stay at yours?" I ask Nova, holding the phone to my ear; kicking the stones on the ground.

"Of course I'm sure! The spare key is around the back, just go through the gate and look in the flower pot under the dirt- dig around and you'll find it," she softly says. "Mike, shut up for a second will you!" She shouts, I can hear him laughing in the background.

"Thank you so much Nova, enjoy your honeymoon," I whisper.

She sighs softly, "thank you. Look, Willow.... Everything will work out, I promise." I sigh muttering a goodbye then I hang up. After 20 minutes of walking to Nova's and Mike's, I arrive at their house. I walk through their backyard after opening the gate and I grab the key from the plant pot. Why is everything so difficult? Why does it even matter to me what I did? I think as I unlock the back door and open it.

He was so mad that he kicked me out of the house, shouting at me. He never has shouted at me to be honest, and it hurt when he did. I drop the keys on the counter and sit on the couch, turning on t.v but not really paying attention to it. How can I? I jump in surprise as the front door bangs open, Emberly walks in with Titus holding the door by its handle.

"Ohmygod! Are you okay Willow?!" She rushes over to my form that is curled in a ball on the couch. "Nova called me to come check on you, Titus was just gonna drop and go but the door was locked so he just ripped it open," I look at Titus whom is placing the door against the wall.

"I can see that," I chuckle lightly, Titus smirks and shrugs.

"I'll fix it later," he waves it off. My smile drops as I remember the text messages, the drugs. Killing. I frown at him, he raises an eyebrow in confusion. "Why are you mad?" I stand up and place my hands on my hips.

"Drugs.... Killing! Emberly did you know that he was texting Valentino saying he has the drugs and them, whatever drugs they are and who they are. Then Valentino told Titus to kill them! Which he probably did. That made me make a non rational decision which is calling the police," I scowl.

"Willow, haven't you heard of the saying that is 'never involve the cops when it comes to a gang member' ha? And what!?" Emberly exclaims turning to Titus waiting for an explanation. He scratches the back of his head sheepishly and coughs, glaring at me. I shrug, it was his own fault anyway.

"I may or may not have killed them....." her jaw clenches and she crosses her arms over her chest.

"Go fix the door, we'll talk later." She sounds like a mother. He walks off and Emberly sits down on the couch that I was sitting on, I sit down too- right next to her. "What happened?" She asks after a moment of silence.

"Exactly what I said before. I had enough of him killing others, it's not right! Do you know how painful it is to loose someone? I've lost everyone, Emberly; I can't let others loose everyone because of him too. He deserves to rot in jail! I wasn't thinking, so I called the cops. But when they pointed the gun at him, I couldn't let let him go to jail. So I told the police to go, Valentino was livid. He screamed at me to get out of his house." By the end of my explanation her mouth is parted, she grasps her head between her hands and makes a noise.

"That's a lot to take in," she mutters twirling a strand of hair around her finger. "Look, its Valentino. The guy hat claimed you as his the first moment he saw you, I'm sure he will forgive you. In fact, he'd be the one to say sorry most likely," she shakes her head.

She hugs me and it is then that I realise I'm crying, why am I crying? "I don't know why I'm crying, I hate him," I groan wiping my eyes and pull away from Emberly.

"It's the shock. You just didn't expect him to yell at you," she rubs my back soothingly.

"I think my shark week has come," I mutter, she chuckles and I stand walking to the bathroom. And I assumed right. After cleaning myself up, I walk out of the bathroom and sit on the couch again.

"I'm gonna go now girls, I'll pick you up later," Titus says and walks out of the house making sure to lock and close the door behind him.
Valentino' pov.
"Man we messed up bad," Titus shakes his head. "Emberly is so disappointed in me again, your girl went and told her the incident about the drugs and killing," I keep a straight face and chug down my bottle of beer. "You may want to calm down with the alcohol mate," he raises his eyebrows.

"I don't want to be like this. None of us wanted this life, but now we can't escape it; it's like an addiction," I mutter. "How is she?" I look at him intently, he shrugs.

"She was crying," I feel a twinge of pain in my chest. Willow was crying. Because of me, I close my eyes and groan. I don't want her upset, but I couldn't help myself; she called the cops on me.

"Was she?" He studies me and nods slowly. "Well I can't see her, I'll probably do something that I will regret and I can't hurt her more. I just can't," I'd rather hurt myself than her, she's like an angel; a breath of fresh air. No one can hurt an angel.

Has anyone heard about cyclone Debbie in Australia? It's really bad, south east Australia is getting the aftershock which is where I live, it's going to be really bad. All schools in south east Australia are closed and jobs are too, my rivalling school hasn't closed theirs which is so stupid and dangerous.

Today was the last day of term so yay! Holidays early.
