Behind Enemy Lines

"But dad," Hayley cried, "this isn't fair!"
"Sweetheart, it's for the good of the gang, and you're own good," he answered
"You can't just make me love someone," she sniffled.
"I never said you had to love anyone, you just have to do it," He muttered.

"Well I'm not going to," She crossed her arms uncharacteristically.
He seemed taken aback. Since when did Hayley become so stubborn?
"Yes you will young lady, this is not up for debate!" He snapped
Now it was her turn to be surprised. He never raised his voice at her. She was his youngest and only daughter, the favorite child.

"No," She repeated, "This is my life, I am going to fall in love with whomever I please,"
"Like who?" He snorted, "Those kids at your school? They don't have a future Hayley, you need someone who can provide for you,"
"You don't care about me!" She cried, "All you care about is this stupid gang!"

"I raised you," He reminded, "Don't say i don't care,"
"I don't care, no father arranges a relationship for his daughter!"
He was very angry now, "That relationship is going to keep the gang strong! I'm looking out for your future young lady!"
"No you're controlling me like you always do!" She sobbed.

"You ungrateful child!" He yelled, "Get out! Get out of my house! I don't want to see you until tomorrow morning!"
She was in for it now. Her brother was not home to back her up. He was out late, "working" as usual. Not to mention that it was raining torrentially outside, which makes it even worse.

"OOOUUUT!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

She ran, yanking the door open. She jumped off the front stoop and sprinted away. She turned to see him
standing in the doorway. He shut the door and locked it, turning the light off. She turned back ahead, just in time to see a car coming.

They stopped a mere foot before hitting her. She released a breath she'd been holding. The car beeped at her, but she had no choice but to keep running. She was only wearing a tshirt and shorts because before he got home, she had been watching a movie. The bottoms of her feet were getting pierced by small rocks and pieces of cement.

Her tshirt clung to her body, chilling her to the bone. She was shivering uncontrollably, looking for anywhere dry to spend the night. She went as far as to wander near her school, a couple blocks away. She looked around, teeth chattering uncontrollably, and decided to settle herself on the back steps, under a canopy.

The stone steps weren't the most comfortable, but it was definitely more comfortable than lying out in the rain. She wrapped her arms around her shaking frame, trying to warm herself up.
It was a quiet night otherwise, actually calming. She found herself being comforted by the rain, even if it was absolutely pouring.

A little ways further was a street light, overlooking a a pathway where people spent nights walking peacefully. Behind the path was an open field for recess and a couple trees.

Eventually, she felt her eyes starting to close. She was on the edge of sleep before some voices pulled her back to reality. She opened her eyes and looked around. The wall she was leaning against did not allow her to see who was approaching, she just hopped that the night concealed her as well.

She scooted against the wall more. She grimaced when they appeared and turned to enter the back of the school. Immediately, they spotted the small junior, curled up against the wall, sopping wet and terrified.

She couldn't recognize them because they had hoods and bandanas over their faces.
"Well what do we have here?" One asked amusedly.
She blushed bashfully and looked around for an escape. However, they were both blocking her path. This night could only get 100 times worse.
"Well this is going to be fun," The other chuckled darkly.
