1 How It Started

,,Victoria come down right now!" I heard my furious dad from downstairs.

,,what's wrong, are you okay?" I asked him confused.

,,one of the boys got shot today, i need you to tell your mother that I'll be out staying at the hotel doing my business work" he said while pointing his index finger at me

,, o- okay but who got shot? Is it jack? Noah? William? Li- " i got nervous when my dad said ,, Liam it's Liam, he got shot" before i could finish my sentence.

,, LIAM? IS HE OKAY? IS HE STABEL? WHERE DID HE GET SHOT?" I started FREAKING out. Liam was my crush since i was 11 and now that I'm 17 and finally over him doesn't mean that I don't care for him... well try and explain that to my dad.

,, I don't know Victoria that's why I'm leaving and need you to take care of your mom while I'm gone. I'll be back tomorrow around 3PM."

He said while putting a jacket on a before he left he stared at me saying ,, You CANNOT be with Liam not just because you have a boyfriend, it's because he's one of the boys"

,, you really think that I'm still into Liam? Dad c'mon I'm dating Julian!" Said while i banged my left foot on the ground.

He smirked and left.

I went up to my room and sat on the bed putting my laptop on my lap. i started thinking* maybe i really am not over Liam and that's why i care for him this much...* ,,NO Victoria" i shook my head and squeezed my eyes trying not to think about him.

*Ding* i heard my phone and my bestfriends contact popped up.

Elle: Hey B, Wanna go to the Mall? The Squads coming.

Me: No, Not today Ell. Sorry.

Elle: Yeah Sure, Is everything okay tho?

Me: Yeah, Nothing you need to worry about. See ya!

I couldn't stop thinking about Liam. I picked up my phone to call Julian so i could get my mind of it, but then I thought of it. I was acting dumb thinking that i still liked Liam and put my phone back to where it was.

The next day

___________________

I woke up at 10AM with the excitement to hear how Liam was. Unfortunately it was too early and dad wasn't home yet . I tried to take a nap but right at that moment mom walked in.

,,rise and shine princess" she said while holding her hands up in the air.

,,ugh moom turn off the lights" i said and put the pillow over my face.

,,get up, I'm making pancakes"

,, 2 more minutes "

,,The longer you take the more pancakes i get i guess" she said while winking at me and dancing making her way out of the room.

* 2 hours later*

I heard my phone ring. I looked down at it and it was dad.

,,mom I'm gonna facetime my friend, I'll be down in a minute" so she couldn't hear me talk to dad.

~on the phone~

Me: ,, dad, is everything okay? How is he?"

Dad: you need to leave your house NOW! The person who shot Liam is a gang member and he knows about me and the boys. He got my location and now is coming to get you and your mother. Tell her that we'll be eating out and don't waste any time! You have to get out from there in less than 10 minutes!

Me: ,,o-okay I'll try to be as quick as possible" said while i was super concerned of what would've happened if we couldn't get out in time.
