After school Ace stood and handed his paper in before shoulder his back. "Seen you later cous." He salutes towards Jessie and Becca before walking past them and meeting up with his gang.

"The girls are gonna freak!" Jessie squealed as she dragged Becca out of the school. "Woah woah woah! Jessie hang on!" Her friend paused. "Hmm?" "The girls can't know. Do you know what they'll do?" Jessie sighed. "Yeah you're right. Sorry. Listen, I've got to go. I'll text you later!" "See ya Jess!" Jessie ran off and Becca headed in the opposite direction, walking for a while before running into someone. "What the-?!" Then she recognized the person. Ace.
Ace was talking with Maxwell. Other gangs had been causing trouble and there was going to be a throw down tonight. He had to go. He was the head of the gang. He starts when someone bumps into him. "Hello there, Becca. Surprised to see you wandering around here. Lost?"
She rolled her eyes, this mask was not coming off. "You wish. I'm just taking a shortcut home."
"Mhm. I wouldn't recommend walking through this way. A sweet thing like you might get gobbled up by another one of the gangs around here. Best take-" "Oi! Ace. We have trouble. Skull and his group." Echo pants, making it to them. She pants. "Worse thing is, they have guns." Ace swears under his breath. "Maxwell. Get her home." He nudges his head at Becca." Under his shirt a gun glinted as he grabbed it.
"I don't need your help. Just leave me alone." She scoffed and continued walking. "Besides, I know these streets pretty well. I've walked this route 10,000 times." She tied her hair up, readjusted her bag, and took off, turning corners and down alleys like an expert.
A gunshot tore through the air. Ace growled lowly. He could see Skull from here. "Bold of you to come into my territory with guns." He growls. "Uh huh. I want a brawl. No weapons. Just me and you, Ace." Skull growls. Ace smirks. "Gladly."
She tore up the porch stairs and into her house. She wore a bright smile that quickly faded when she heard nothing. Her reality returned to her. Her sister was probably out with her boyfriend, her dad out with her bitchmom, I mean stepmom, which meant she was home alone. Like usual. She sighed heavily and trudged up to her room.

Ace shrugs. "Can we get this over with?" With that they started. It was a evenly matched battle. Ace was faster though. Covered in blood, his own or Skulls he didn't know, pain spurting through his body, he stood there in front of Skull, who collapsed. "Give up." He growls. Skull shakes his head, growling lowly. Ace wasn't fast enough. There was a bang and pain shot through his side. He drops to his knees, but Skull was already being handled. He'd be thrown out of his gang and lost all authority since he broke the rules.
She sat at her desk and looked at the three picture frames on it. One was her original family, her parents and two sisters with her baby brother. Another was her dad's new family after her parents divorced. He'd taken her and her oldest sister Kelsie, gotten remarried, and had two boys. Twins, Jack and Tyler. The last one was her mom's new family. She'd taken her other sister Carly and her brother Max. She'd also gotten remarried and had another daughter, Nikki. She sighed, how had her life come to this?
Ace woke up on the ground and in pain. There were sirens, someone talking to him and then nothing. He woke up again, alone in the hospital. He was patched up, his mother waiting for him. He told the doctors he was fine, proved that he could walk… More like limp and he was released.
Becca walked back downstairs and out onto the porch. She stared out at the sunset silently.
Ace ignored his parents, going outside and staring at the sun as it began to go down for the moon, holding his side. He sighs quietly.
She sighed again and decided to take a walk to clear her head, just heading down the street.
Ace sat on his porch, sighing quietly as he stared at the sky. He heard footsteps, but ignored them, keeping his hand on his side and his beaten face to the ground.
Is that? It is! "Ace?" Becca called quietly. He looked rough, what had happened during that fight?
Ace looks up. "Well, well. If it isn't Miss Becca. Glad to see you made it home safely." He looks up and offers a weak smile. He stands, wincing slightly. He wasn't really wearing a shirt since it rubbed against the bandage around his waist.
She had noticed his shirt or lack thereof, and a light pink blush rose to her cheeks, hidden by the shadow that surrounded her. "What happened? Actually, don't answer that, you got into a fight I know that. But what happened afterwards?"
Ace shrugs. "Got shot, went to the hospital, came back." He raises a brow slightly. "What about you? Make it home safe?"
"As safe as a girl home alone can be." She shrugged too. Gunfights were normal in her life. She'd had her fair share of gunshot wounds herself although she never talked about it. Her life when her family was still together was something she guarded with her entire being.
"That's good." He offers one of his rather cute half smiles. He looks at the sky. "There's supposed to be a meteor shower tonight." He says casually.
"Yeah, I know. My sister and I were gonna go watch it but…plans fell through." She tried her best not to look disappointed. Disappointment in her life was also normal. Painfully normal. Kelsie had been obsessed with her boyfriend ever since they'd started dating. Becca and her eldest sister used to be as close as sisters could be but ever since Derick had come into her life, she'd been pushed aside and forgotten. Her stepmom hated her for reasons Becca couldn't fathom and her spineless father just followed her around like a lovesick puppy. Basically kissed the ground she walked on. Becca sighed. "It's whatever though. At least I'll have the house to myself tonight." For the third night in a row…
Ace glances at her. "You could join me, if you want. My mum and dad are leaving the house for the night, have to go catch a plane, my brother is going to the movies with a few of his buddies and my sisters are having sleepovers with their friends."
She rolled her eyes, replacing her mask. "Yeah, like I'd go with you. I'm fine. It's fine." I'm not fine… She pushed the thoughts away and looked down at her sneakers.
