All the emotion immediately left my face. I knew she could easily ruin my life again just like she did before but the only difference is this time I was ready for her. I opened the message and read through it quickly.
Alyssa: I saw you and Michael together today. I have to say I was surprised you finally got the guts to do something but remember I rule this school and I'm not gonna let some wannabe badass get in the way. Michael has done terrible things and he still is and I will not hesitate to tell everyone. If you cross the line you know what will happen. This is your only warning, get in my way and it will be the end of you.
I decided not to reply. I couldn't do this on my own. She had bullied me for years and I wasn't about to let her take control of my life again. I called Alex, Michael, and Chloe and told them to be at my house in 15 minutes for something important. Once they all got there we all sat down on the couch as they waited impatiently for me to begin. They had been asking me questions this whole time and I told them I would explain when everyone was here.
"Ok guys, something happened to me today that has me a little worried because I know what this person is capable of and it's not good." I took out my phone and read the text from Alyssa out loud to the group. After I had finished they all started yelling out different questions so fast I couldn't keep up.
"Look only one at a time with the questions I'm not superwoman here. Ok, Alex, you go first." I told them trying to stop all the frustrated arguing.
"Ok first off you need to tell us the whole story about what happened with you and Micheal. All we know is you walked in school and he grabbed your hand, so what the hell happened." Alex was finally starting to calm his nerves a little. He was protective of me like the brother I never had.
"The night Micheal came over for the business dinner we kinda had a little kiss that we both enjoyed. He decided to ask me out the next day when we went to the café and I said yes." I was still nervous but I calmed down enough to tell them what was going on.
"Ok so is that what she meant when she said she saw you together." Alex's face was emotionless as he listened to everyone. I had never seen him like this before and it was scary.
"I guess so, that's the only time she could have heard us together before that day at school." I was going over different ideas of what to do in my head and I didn't like any of them.
"Well, that pretty much clears it up for me right now." He leaned back in his chair and I could tell he didn't like the idea of Michael and I dating but he would just have to suck it up.
"Now Chloe do you have any questions?"
"U-umm yes. What did she mean when she said he's done terrible things? Her eyes were filled with a sort of worried look and I knew how she felt.
"I'm not sure. Micheal do you know what she was talking about?" I fiddled with my hands and looked over at him worried.
"Actually, yes I do." He was staring at the ground like he was ashamed.
"Well what is it, I need to know." I was shocked but happy that he knew what was going on and I hoped it wasn't too bad.
"Well u-um, it all happened a few years ago. It's not important now, nothing to worry about." He flashed everyone a smile that I immediately knew was fake.
"Micheal your lying to us, whatever it is we promise not to judge you or freak out too bad. Right guys?" I looked over at the others sending them glares that said they better agree.
"Yea right, we promise." They all agreed and then Michael began his story.

Michael's pov;
"Fine. It started about 4 years ago. I was in this terrible gang. Our boss had us go out and kill innocent family members of people who owed him money or made him mad. I was his right-hand man from the very beginning. I pretty much helped him run the place until it came to the killings, those where all him. No one could deny him because if you did you would be shot on the spot no questions asked. This was my life, being forced to kill innocent people in fear of my own life. I decided that I just couldn't do it anymore, I couldn't take killing those people anymore, I was sick of feeling like a murderer. I had been in the gang for a little over 2 years now and the boss trusted me greatly being his right-hand. I saved his life countless times but that day I decided I would take it. I knew I could get him alone and kill him but I wouldn't be able to get past the guards afterward. I had 3 other guys with me that I trusted in the gang. They were going to take out the guards while I took out the boss. I got him in the room alone and when I heard the signal from the guys that the guards had been eliminated I turned and looked at the boss." I paused for a moment and looked around at everyone. They all had the same sort of blank expression on their faces but they nodded for me to continue.
"Well, Miguel(the boss) I have been your right-hand for way too long and frankly, even though what I'm about to do doesn't help all the people you made me kill it helps me know that you got your payback for what their families had to go through." And with that, I raised the gun in my hand up to his head and pulled the trigger before he could register what happened. I knew the other guys would be angry but once I took over and told them they were free everything changed. They were all so happy to finally be free from his hold on them. That day I agreed never to hurt another person like that ever again and I haven't picked up a gun or knife to use on someone since then. I regret what I did every single day but I can't change that it happened so I figured you should hear it from me other than someone else first. I really do wish it never happened and I wish you never had to know about it but I can't take it back now." I looked over at everyone with tears starting to form in my eyes. They all looked at me like they have seen a ghost. They all had unreadable expressions plastered across the faces and I wish I could just disappear in this moment. I wish someone would say something already.
