The Fighter Nerd and The Bad Boy (ON HOLD)

Chapter 21

Annabel's POV

It's been two months. Two months since I last talked to Daylen. Two months since I saw Ryder and I hate it but I'm surviving. Though I haven't talked to Daylen I've been keeping tabs on everyone back home, making sure nothing has happened to them.The person who is watching them calls me twice a week and let's me know what's going on there.

In these two months, I've found Marco, that's the only good thing that has happened in the last month.

He's in spain too, he is about four hours away from where I am. In a week I'll leave and watch what he does for a month, figure out his schedule, then I'll kill him. Maybe I should blow up his compound, that way him and all of his men die. They are all rapists and murders anyways. None of them have a family since the Monroes made it a rule to ensure that they won't snitch. Most of them have kids but only because they raped someone.

Those kids, if a boy, is sent to a training camp at the age of seven. They only get to see their parents after they turn eighteen and pledge allegiance to the Monroe gang, but by then they all have lost their souls. If the kid doesn't want to be in the gang then their father has to shoot and kill them.

The girls grow up with their mother or in a foster home until they are eighteen and then are forced to be a stripper or hooker for the gang. Most of them have kids with another gang member, ran away, get killed, or kill themselves.

That's why I should blow up the compound, I know for a fact that the women and children are kept in a different building on a different property. So I will blow it up, I just need to find bombs and figure out where to place them and how I plan on how to activate it.

I feel my phone buzzing and I grabbed it to see Violet calling, "Is everyone asleep?" I ask as I answer.

"Yes, Ryder drank himself to sleep again. Ella hangs out with us a lot more and occasionally cries, the girls miss you still but they keep the other boys in line. I'm on Ryder babysitting duty today, he punched a kid in the face at school and got suspended. Anna he really misses you, I don't know how you did it but you got him to fall in love with you in less than a minute and now he needs you." She tells me.

"I know Violet. But listen I should be back in two months at most. I found him and I know how I'm gonna kill him. Don't tell anybody else, and next week if I don't answer your call or texts after four days something went wrong. And if that happened tell Daylen I said 'Monroe Bilbao 22 Alpha Theta Epsilon Nu Alpha road' and then tell him 'Cortez 356 Golf Uniform Alpha Delta Alpha Lima Alpha Juliet Alpha Romeo Alpha and 061003' make sure to tell him that okay. He will know what it means."

"I will Anna, I wrote it down and I'll hide it. Please be safe and come back soon." She says.

"I will. I promise. Bye Violet thank you for doing this." With that I end the call.

Daylen and I learned the greek and military alphabet just incase something like this happens. I told him where I'll be and where my house is. He knows Mrs. Cortez so he should know that I'm in Spain. Hopefully he can put this all together if anything goes wrong.

Violet's POV

I've been Annabel's eyes and ears here for the last two months. No one knows or suspects it. I've told her almost everything except that Ryder started to sleep with girls that look just like her when he's drunk and the girls and the boys have become a lot more aggressive since she left. He really lost it after Daylen told him that Anna didn't love him. He knows it was a lie, but he doesn't know why she left and won't tell him where she is.

I'm the only person she keeps in contact with. So I occasionally go to her house and clean, and I go to her dad's house to see if he is still alive once a week. I try and keep everyone in check, but Ryder is making it harder than it should.

For example he is upstairs passed out drunk and he was suspended from school for a week for punching this kid Tyler in the face for saying he hopes Annabel is dead since she hasn't been at school. I mean I would have punched him too but I wasn't there. I was stopping Stella from hurting Jack for stealing her food. I mean like I get but she tried to stab him. He of course laughed so I smacked him and told him to go to class.

It has just been so crazy without Annabel. I really hope I don't have to tell Daylen the message she gave me but if I do at least he will be able to help her.

"Vee. Why are you staring off into space on the couch?" I look up to see Ryan. "Oh, hey, Ry. Just thinking. He's gonna get himself killed if he keeps drinking, you know." I say. All Ryan does is nod his head and sit on the couch with me. "You are all gonna get yourselves killed. Stella is constantly trying to stab people, Jack is stealing from everyone, Josh is always at the fights and then comes home all bloody, Crystal brings home a different guy every night now, hannah is a pole dancer now, Axel has taken more jobs than he has in a six months, Millie deals drugs now, Ella cries herself to sleep every night, Jake tries to fight everybody, and you Ryan, you don't know any of this because you go racing every night now and normally I'm fine with this but you go racing to get hurt or hurt someone else." I start to raise my voice, "NONE of you know this, because you guys never talk anymore. And I'm so MAD but not at Annabel, at you guys. She left but we are all still here and she will come back. But none of you care." At this point I had tears going down my face and Ryan sat there speechless.

"Yeah she left Violet. She left me after I had almost lost her. That's why I drink myself to sleep." I turned around to see Ryder at the bottom of the staircase. He walked towards me , "You think you're the only one that's mad. I'm so mad at myself for not being there for her. I can't find her, no one knows where she is. I'm so scared because I've never loved someone so much only to lose them. Violet, I miss her so much that I try to sleep with girls that look like her but I can't, I only kiss them till I feel like I'm going to puke and kick them out of my room and cry and drink. Annabel means the world to me. I know she's looking for Marco. I know she is betrothed to him and I know she loves me. I know Daylen lied to me, but I also know he is worried too." Ryder has tears streaming down his face as he says this.

I get up and go hug him and we cry together for a good ten minutes before I say five words that I'm going to regret.

"I know where she is."
