Now or Never

I rub my eyes hard. Wanting anything more for these nightmares to go away.

The hot water runs down my bare back as I try to let it get everywhere on my body.

My eyes close and picture it like it was still happening. Men fell down, shots were fired, people yelled and then there was Maxwell, smirking at me like he had won.

I lean against the wall in the shower and groan, I watch as the clear water flows down into the drain.

What was going on with me?

So many people died last night, half of them didn't deserve it at all, then some did.

A knock on the door sent me out of my day dream, I look in the direction of the bathroom door and turn the shower off.

"Te, are you okay?" Andrew asked protectively.

"I'm fine!" I yell back, not wanting him to worry I step out of the shower and throw a towel around my body before opening the door slightly.

He looks in with concern, "Are you sure?"

"Positive." I smiled small at him, he just nods slowly and walks off.

My smile instantly drops from my face as I shut the bathroom door back up again. At least this whole situation is over now.. right?

I stare at my reflection in the mirror, I grabbed an extra towel and began to dry my hair. It was a new day, at least I could do is get ready for it.

Once I'm dressed in my comfy clothes, I clean up and exit the bathroom. I jog downstairs to where I hear voices coming from. As I got closer I could see it was Andrew, Scarlet and Dad having a conversation.

I smiled at the sight. After the whole little get together and incident with Dad, he's been okay and there's been hardly any fights or arguments between anyone in the house. I felt more comfortable here than ever now.

"Pumpkin come here, we've got something to tell you." Dad announces as I stand near the door way of the living room.

"Okay?" I give them a questionable look as I enter. I go and sit next to Scarlet who's relaxed in the couch. "So what's up?"

"Your brother and I have been thinking–" Dad starts off, which immediately gives me worry. "About your situation with this.. gang."

My eyes look at Andrew and glare at him, before i look next to me at Scarlet. She gives me a small almost supportive smile.

"She knows." Andrew states, I soon sigh out.

"What about it Dad?"

"You've become close to these people, right?" Dad asks as he shifts his weight in the chair.

"I'd say so, why?" My eyebrows furrow in confusion to why he asked.

Or why this was even brought up and said to the people who shouldn't even know.

"Well there's one in particular that you've come close close too – as Andrew has said – so I need to ask, are you sure you can trust him?"
