After Marcus left I decided to take a nap because I was so exhausted and I wake up and decide to check the time. 5pm!?!?! "What the fuck?" I say in shock I was only planning on resting my eyes and that was about 5 hours ago.

I get up to pee then I go to the kitchen and Cleo stands in the corner eating Nutella out of the jar with a spoon "Morning sleepy head" Cleo says mockingly "Very funny but it was actually a very nice nap" I say smiling "It looked like it" Cleo replies "Wanna go out and grab dinner early? I'm starving!" I groan "Hmm fine but I choose where".

It's 5:30pm and Cleo and I arrive at an Italian restaurant across the street from our school. We enter and go to a table near the window "I'll go get us drinks now, what do you want?" Says Cleo "Uhh just a raspberry lemonade thanks" She nods and goes to the bar. I pull out my phone and look in the camera fixing up my hair which I quickly brushed as we were leaving, I look over at Cleo who was having a conversation with the bartender guy and then I look out the window and my phone slips out of my hand but I quickly catch it before it hits the ground. I see Marcus dressed in black athletic wear which was odd this late in the day and I knew there weren't any sport tryouts, he heads into the school and my foot starts tapping the ground nervously I glance over at Cleo then back at Marcus who was making his way inside the school "This man is gonna be the actual death of me" I mumble under my breath as I quickly exit the shop and head over to the school, Cleo isn't going to be pleased and I don't blame her.

I open the door into the main building and it was unlocked which was weird because they are locked electronically. I step inside and hear some movement upstairs  I was gonna turn away because i have seen one too many horror films but Marcus is in here. I make my way up stairs and I trip over one of the stairs and hit my head on one of the stairs "Dumbass bitch" I mumble under my breath, I put my hand to my head and I wince "Shit" I was bleeding, again.

I slowly stand up and remove my wedges which I bought the other day and place them down "Stay there mama will be back for u" I cringe and realize I'm going insane I'm talking to a pair of shoes. The noise is coming from the end of the hall and it's kinda dark up here "BUZZ BUZZ" my phone starts ringing its Cleo "Fuck fuck oh gosh" I fumble my phone out of my pocket and end the call and take a deep breath. I make my way to the end of the hall and peer into the open door my eyes widen and I gasp so loudly my throat hurts.

The room was trashed chairs and tables were broken and 2 windows were smashed, I see Marcus fighting this other guy who I can't make out because he is kinda covered in blood. My body freezes that other guy is way bigger than Marcus but they both seem to know what they are doing then Marcus falls to the floor and the unknown guy raises a piece of metal about to hit Marcus then I run in and jump on the guys back so hard I pull him back on the ground he turns around to face me and I finally know who he is. "Ryan?" I force out of my mouth and my body fills with rage I see Marcus stand up and he hits Ryan in the back of the head with a metal leg from the table and he passes out.

Marcus pushes Ryan's body off mine and helps me from the ground and I try to search for words but nothing comes out. "Well this is a bit awkward" Marcus finally says and I scoff "You sneak into school after hours and I find you fighting my ex's brother almost to death and you say and I quote 'this is a bit awkward'?!?" I say full of rage and confusion. "Not almost to death, he is dead" He says casually "w-what?" I say worried.

"Okay I'm sorry for being cocky but you really shouldn't be here, are you okay?" he says pulling me into a hug and I hesitate but give in. "Um I've been knocked in the head a few times and there is a dead body next to me but I've actually never been better" I reply Sarcastically. Marcus pulls away and raises and eyebrow "Your back pocket is vibrating y/n" Marcus says smiling, I pull out my phone and see 6 missed calls and 20 text messages from Cleo and I quickly look up at Marcus. I stare at him and then back down at the body and I start to feel so sick and I suddenly vomit next to what used to be Ryan.

"OH um shit yeah your not used to this and I'll explain everything later I promise but we gotta go" Marcus says concerned I quickly look at him in even more shock "You know what I'm not even gonna explain everything that's wrong with what you just said but first we can't just leave his body there and second Cleo called the cops because she is worried about me" I say out of breath. "Are you fucking kidding me? And don't worry about this it will be handled" He says as he grabs my hand and we start walking out of the classroom "What about the Cameras and our footprints? And I left my shoes on the stairs oh and my vomit" I say concerned and Marcus looks back at me even more concerned and rolls his eyes playfully and says "Don't stress your pretty little mind it will all be just fine "Hey dont talk to me like I'm 5 years old" I snark back to him.

We make our way out the building and see a cop car at the entrance "Come on this way" Marcus says pulling me towards him and we slip through a gap in the corner of the fence and walk down a little alley way and a black limo waits at the end. "What is this?" I ask "My ride but I want to go with you to make sure you okay" Marcus says "Apart from the fact that you are acting really weird and tense and I get you will be worried but I'll make my own way home" I say trying not to sound very mean. "No you won't" says a middle aged man whose body is so ripped as he steps out of the Limo "Since you are a loose end you must come with us" He says confidently

Now I remember he is the guy that was talking to Marcus at boxing on Sunday.

"No leave her out of this! She is already in danger and if she comes with us we are putting her at an even bigger risk!" Marcus says pulling me behind him and the man let's out a little laugh.

"Are you seriously going to disobey me for a girl Marcus? She will be coming with us we will protect her but if she doesn't come with us we may aswell shoot her right here because she is just killing herself leaving unprotected" The man says and Marcus grabs my hand and mouths "I'm sorry" and then he turns to the man and says "fine but you will not involve her anymore than she already is".

I pinched myself on the arm to make sure I'm not dreaming and I'm definitely not, at this point I'm just going with the flow because I'm already traumatized and it possibly can't get any worse. "Oh and please call me Axel y/n" Axel says while signaling both of us to get in the limo.
