Raya's Secrets (Under Editing)

.16.

"Who do you think you are?!"
I yell angrily at the man standing before me.
How dare he threaten my family!
"I'm someone you should not mess with, Silver Eyes."
The man states using my familiar street name and I glare in response.
"Oh, what happened to you? Did you lose a bet or some something"
I ask annoyed causing a loud and thundering laugh to escape his lips.
"No, but you will find out soon enough."
The man says looking down at me with his dark eyes.
"Look, I don't have time for your sh*t." I state before turning to walk away.
"Oh, but I think you are going to want to stay!"
The man calls and I glance over my shoulder to see two men walking forward as they drag what looks to be a kid with a large bag tied over his head.
The man quickly unties the sack before yanking the bag off of the kid's head to reveal a familiar face.
James...
"We wouldn't want your little brother to get hurt, now would we?"
The man asks as he shoves James to the ground.
James's gray eyes are wide with fear as he looks up to meet my gaze.
How dare they even lay a hand on my brother!
I feel my adrenaline begin to race through my veins as I run towards James.
"It'll be okay."
I state as I quickly untie his hands before checking to see if he's hurt.
I sigh in relief when I notice that there are no serious injuries, just a small scratch on his chin from when he was pushed.
The man takes a step forward and I quickly pull out my pistol before taking aim it at the man.
"I'll ask you one more time, who are you?"
I growl out in anger as I narrow my eyes at the man.
The man smirks in amusement before finally answering.
"My name is Blood Arrow, I'm sure you've heard of me?"
Blood Arrow?
"You're Blood Arrow? Why am I not impressed?"
Blood Arrow is supposedly the leader of the most violent, cold hearted gang in all of the U.S.
What is he doing here?
"Your father, I'm looking for him. Where is he?"
Blood Arrow demands with a scow as if I had offended him.
"Haven't seen him."
I lie instinctively as my eyes narrow in anger.
"Where is he, Silver Eyes."
Blood Arrow demands as he walks forward and I glare.
"I don't know where he is, and even if I did I wouldn't tell you."
"Then you are of no use to me."
  Blood Arrow raises his gun as he takes aim at James.
"No!"
I yell tackling James to the ground.
BANG!

"Raya?!"
I my eyes open to see Justin leaning over me with wide eyes as he looks down at me in concern.
"J-Justin?"
I ask causing him to let out a sigh of relief as the worry fades from his eyes.
"Are you okay, Raya?"
"Yeah? Why? What happened?"
I ask glancing around in confusion.
  "Where's James?!"
I demand when I notice he is no longer sleeping on the couch.
"James is downstairs eating breakfast, I came up to get you."
Justin explains causing my shoulders to relax.
"Oh..."
I quickly throw the blanket off of me before getting to my feet.
"You okay, Raya?"
"Yes, now let's go because I am hungry!"
I remark as I make my way towards the door.
I glance over my shoulder and frown when I see that Justin is still standing by the bed.
"Lets go you turtle!"
I complain impatiently.
Justin smiles before exiting the bedroom with me and the two of us make our way down the stairs.
"Nathan called, he wanted to know if you, me, Jo and Nathan wanted to hang out later?"
"That sounds fun, but I can't due to work."
I answer as we walk into the dinning room.
Before Justin has a chance to say something, Mrs. Moore speaks up.
"Good morning, sweetheart, how did you sleep?"
She asks with a small smirk pulling at her lips as her eyes light up with amusement.
Why is she smirking?
"Fine, thank you."
"That's good."
Mrs. Moore says with a smile as she pours several cups of coffee and small glades of orange juice.
"Actually, I stopped by to check on you last night."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I must've been asleep."
I apologize as I take a seat next to Justin.
"You were."
She nods as she begins to fill the plates with food.
"Actually, the door was open so I peeked in to see that both you and Justin were peacefully sleeping on the bed while James was snoring away on the couch."
Mrs. Moore says as she places the plates on the table.
Oh...
I glance as Justin to see that his cheeks are tinted pink as if he was embarrassed.
"We fell asleep watching cartoons with James."
I state causing her to let out a small laugh.
"You two are both just so cute!"
She teases causing my face to flush red from embarrassment.
"I..."
"Good morning."
Mr. Moore says as he walks into the dinning room before taking a seat.
"Good morning, sir."
I nod before glancing at the plate in front of me to see two waffles and a side of bacon.
The toppings for the waffles rest in the center of the table.
"Morning, sis."
James says as he walks in before taking a seat beside me and I smile as I ruffle his hair.
"Morning, how'd you sleep?"
"Good."
He answers before glancing at my cup of coffee to his cup of orange juice.
"Why can't I have coffee?"
"Because I said so."
I answer causing him to frown.
"Dad drinks coffee."
"He's also not a kid, James."
"You drink coffee."
James mutters under his breath and I raise an eyebrow.
"I'm also not a kid, James."
"Luke told me that dad let you drink coffee when you were a kid."
That is true...but I was also a bit rebellious as a child. Something that I am very glad that James did not learn from me.
"One drink."
I mutter pushing the cup towards him and he smiles before taking a drink.
His face instantly scrunched up in disgust as he quickly pushes the cup back to me with a scowl on his face.
"Blaugh!"
He coughs causing the four of us to laugh in amusement.
"That bad?"
I ask causing James to lift his gaze to me.
"It tastes like watered down dirt..."
James mutters and I smile as I push his plate of food towards him instead.
Maybe next time he'll listen to me...
I quickly begin to prepare my waffles by sprinkling chocolate chips and adding whip cream on top.
Oh, how delicious!
"Sometimes you act like a little girl."
Justin laughs causing me to lift my gaze as I raise an eyebrow in confusion.
Little girl?
"How so?"
Justin points to my plate of waffles and I narrow my eyes.
"Well, you act like a boring nerd."
I remark nonchalantly as I glance at his plain waffles with syrup.
How original...
"What? This is good!"
"Maybe, but mine is better."
I state as I ready another bite of my delicious waffles on the fork.
"There is no way that your-"
I quickly interrupt his sentence by feeding him a bite of waffle with whip cream and chocolate chips.
I notice that his piercing blue eyes widen in surprise.
"You were saying?"
I ask with a smirk on my lips.
I notice his cheeks tint pink as he remains silent, unable to answer.
"I told you mine was better."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, now hush."
He grumbles as he grabs the whip cream and the glass bowl of chocolate chips.
"I win."
I laugh causing him to roll his eyes.
"No, you don't."
"Why not?"
I ask curious as to what his excuse could possible be.
"Because I'm awesome."
"Well, I'm awesomer."
"That's not even a word."
Justin states as he looks at me in confusion.
"If you can understand it and what it means, then it's a word."
"That's not how it works, Rae."
Justin laughs and I roll my eyes.
"Yes, it does."
How do I deal with you everyday at school?"
Justin asks looking at me with a raised eyebrow and I glare.
How rude...
"Well, I can't handle you either, do you have any idea how annoying you are?"
I ask raising an eyebrow at him in curiousity.
Justin smirks as he leans in closer until he's only inches away.
What is he doing?
Before he can answer, Justin's phone rings rather loudly causing the two of us to jump back in surprise.
I wonder who it is....?
Justin pulls out his phone to reveal a message from Nathan.

Nathan:
Hey, Justin, look at this photo of you and Raya!

My eyes narrow in confusion when I see several photos of Justin and I in the back seat of Tyson's truck when I had been injured.
One in particular shows Justin leaning down towards me as I look up at him from his lap.
It looks as if we were about to kiss...
"Jaecee!"
I growl as I realize that she was the one who took the photo.
I'm going to strangle her...
Justin laughs in amusement as his piercing gaze shifts down to his phone to see the photo.
"Awe, look how cute we are!"
Justin jokes causing my face to flush red from embarrassment.
"Justin!"
"How about another picture?"
He asks and I quickly shove the phone away.
"No."
I hear both Mr. And Mrs. Moore laugh in amusement as if Justin teasing me was funny.
Well, it's not!
