Crystals

Gangs

~Harry~

I sat in the living room watching Niall and Liam play FIFA for the fifth time in a row. Louis was outside trying to phone someone who clearly wasn't picking up. He screamed with frustration and walked in, throwing his phone at the nearest wall.
"I need to get out of here" he started "fuck some shit up"
"I saw someone new move in down the street last night" Niall said, his eyes not moving from the screen, "could always go see what that's about" he offered.
"Nah, nah. Let's just go into town, have a couple drinks and get a couple girls." Liam said.
"Sounds good" I said patting Louis on the back and grabbing my keys too my black Range Rover. The boys piled in the car and I pulled out of our giant home. Sure it was large for just the four of us but what can I say? We like to live lavish. As we were driving into town Louis made me stop.
"Is that an R8?" He said pointing to the white one parked outside a store we new quite well, to put it lightly.
"Who else has an R8 besides us?" Liam asked, referring to the one we all pitched in for. I pulled over.
"Doesn't this place belong to Katherine?" I asked
"Belonged" Niall laughed. I scoffed,
"Now it's what's her names" I said
"Greer. Greer McKraugh." Louis filled in. We all looked at him, he raised his hands and shrugged.
"Come on" Liam said. We all hopped out. Upon entering Greer or whatever stood behind the counter looking terrified. While the boys proceeded to knock over a few things, I nocticed a door behind her opened only a crack and someone staring out of that crack. I laughed to myself. By now Greer was on the floor. Come on princess, I thought, save your friend. Suddenly she jumped out. She looked equally as terrified as her friend yet she tried to tell us to leave. How cute. She clocked Louis right in the nose. Damn the girl had a punch on her. She grabbed her friend and ran out to her car while the others were still in shock. I grabbed her keys off the counter and simply walked outside. I saw her curse and notice me. I tossed her her keys. I wanted to see where this would go. She grabbed them immediately and sped off. When the boys came outside they started cussing. She rolled down her window and flipped them off. Wow princess. Aren't you a firecrack. I turned to the boys.
"Get in, we're going home. I want to know everything about her by morning." I said. They nodded and got it. As soon as we got back they started working on how to find her.

I sat next to my bed and waited for Greer to wake up. Eventually she did. She groaned and she turned and faced me. She shot up suddenly aware of her surroundings.
"Where am I?" She asked urgently,
"Relax," I said handing her an Advil and some water, l you're in my house" I sat back in my chair and watched as she drank it.
"Your house? This room is the size of my flat." She said in awe.
"Move in here, I don't care. I just need answers" I said leaning forward, "who were those guys? What did they want?" I asked. She looked at me and swallowed.
"It's cause I didn't pick up the damn phone," she mumbled to herself "this all could've been avoided."
"What are you talking about?" I asked
"Those guys. Harry, Louis, Liam, and Niall. I know them sort of. I hate them" she said simply
"What did they do? What did they want? Why were they there?" I asked with more urgency.
"Well let's start from the beginning. About three months ago my mother died. A bunch of guys game in wanting to steal, one of them knocked her over. She hit her head on the counter. I was devastated. Then one night at a party I meet this guy Louis. He's completely understanding and caring and sweet and kind and super hot too. We started dating. He told me not to tell anyone cause he was in a risky situation that could put me in danger. Then I met his gang. Harry let it slip that the cops were looking for them cause of 'that Kathrine bitch'. I immediately understood. I broke it off with Louis and from there on he kept coming in and harassing me with his gang. I've never gotten away without getting hit until last night. Thank you."
"Woah" I said, " don't thank me, they have no idea who I am or where I'm from or even who the fuck they're dealing with. Now get some rest" I said. I watched her gratefully hit the pillows and snuggle back into the bed. I turned and walked into the bathroom. I left the party life, the casino, the fucking gang. Now I'm back into it.

The next morning the boys walked into the dining hall with the most proud look on their faces. They all sat down,
"You will not fucking believe this." Niall said,
"Her father is Jonothan Castrio, one of the biggest Italian mobsters in the world." Liam finished.
"She changed her last name to try escape the lifestyle." Louis added.
"That's why she wasn't afraid of us at the shop. She's probably had bigger and badder" I said quietly. Very interesting princess, very interesting.
