JJ still pointed the gun at her. With ease he could just pull the trigger, and bam, right between the eyes would be a hole and she would dead. Simple enough. JJ was more rational than that though, but she was indeed trespassing and let's be honest - probably knew better than to come to a rival gang territory, the Adriel's at that. Common fucking sense.

"JJ never brings a gun anywhere, I just like seeing this play out." Sebastian replied. It was rather true, he didn want to see how it would play out - good or bad. Sebastian had circled around behind JJ, getting closer to the two and to assure him that he indeed had his baby brother's back. Only problem he had, is he didn't know if JJ would even do anything.

JJ had quickly created space and shot down towards her feet. "Don't tell me I won't go through with it, you sick bastard!" He yelled, feeling a wave of emotions come through him. Memories flooded him, remembering from a young age when he killed his first victim. Ten. He was only ten. JJ began breathing heavily before tears clouded his vision and he pointed the gun back up at her yet again.

Sebastian created more space between the two as JJ shot towards the ground at the Sherwood girl's feet as warning shots. He wanted to just take JJ away, but he knew that it wouldn't work. He clenched slightly as he saw the tears in JJ's eyes. The memories came back to him, and you could tell something was bothering him. This wasn't JJ being some tough kid, this was him acting out. And it wasn't the first time he had done something like this, it was just the first time in a while. Seb gulped as he saw how slowly JJ was putting his finger back on the trigger.

JJ bit his lip and fought back his tears. "Go before I do it," he muttered sternly. It was more to himself than anything, but it was still audible.

Seb nodded. Indeed he wasn't, but he realized that he probably should've been helping things, seeing that JJ wasn't in a good state. He sighed, seeing the Sherwood beginning to leave after scoffing at the two brothers. Sebastian turned to JJ, who wiped his eyes and put the gun back where it was, tucked away in his pants and hidden with his shirt. He pushed past Seb, making it obvious he didn't dare be talked to. Sebastian sighed as he followed behind his brother.

The anger and sadness within JJ was quite high, and all he did was just return back home. Sebastian followed him inside, seeing Markus sitting on the couch. Seb didn't mention anything about the events that just happened.

"What's his deal?" He asked, gesturing for Seb to come sit. He just stood.

"Some dick at the party." Sebastian lied with ease, and it was almost an instinct to lie to his father when something like this happened. It wasn't often, but when it did, he never told the truth and Markus seemed to buy every word of it. No, lying was never a good thing, but it did help Seb and his brother to escape trouble.

Markus nodded as Sebastian made his way up to his room, slipping his sweatshirt off and throwing it into the corner of his room. He placed his phone down on the nightstand and scratched the back of his neck as he kicked off his shoes, laying down after doing so. He sighed as he looked out the window, the moon high in the sky as the stars twinkled, as if they were dancing. Sebastian blinked slowly before closing his eyes, feeling the world around him slowly shut down as he drifted off into a slumber.

JJ lay wide awake in his bed, staring at the pale ceiling above him. He felt his tears run down his face, but the expression was blank. JJ felt nothing at this point. Everything wasn't the way it was anymore. Parties barely interested him, teasing Seb got old, and JJ couldn't manage to take it anymore. He glanced at his closet where he had put his gun before he changed. JJ clenched his jaw before turning to his side and began to fall asleep.

Throughout the night, JJ stirred. He would awake for short intervals before dozing back off, but now, he was just wide awake. He took another glance towards his closet before shaking his head. Although he wasn't in the greatest of place at the moment, he couldn't just give up because he wanted to.

JJ was the 'perfect' kid at school. He was indeed charming, kind, funny, maybe an asshole as well. He got decent grades, and despite his name, a lot of people took a liking to him. JJ had a girlfriend as well, but it didn't last long because she found out about his private life of living in a gang. But that was all he wanted, to get a girl, a couple of kids, and just settle down. No more killing, rivarly, allies, it could all just stop. Or he could just make it easier, go that closet, and pull out the one thing that's been nagging at him.

JJ tossed and turn before he sat up, holding his face in his hands before he had stood up and opened his door. The lights were off or dimmed, Sebastian's room was quiet, and JJ didn't hear anyone downstairs apart from the TV. He sighed as he made his way down the spiral staircase, taking a moment to take in the familair scenery. He sighed as he spotted Markus sleeping soundly on the couch.

JJ looked towards the door, only to feel the urge to leave. He sighed as he looked over his shoulder. JJ took a few steps as he reached the door, turning the lock and unlocking the door. He had slipped out quietly out the door.

He felt free.

JJ had awoke on a patch of grass, feeling the cool morning hair hit his face and ruffle his soft hair. He sat up, looking around for a moment. He had left last night, really late last night, after the incident with the Sherwood girl. He inhaled softly. The atmosphere wasn't familiar to him, and JJ had felt a buzzing in his pocket.

Seb: Where are you? Dad's pissed.

JJ took another glance around and sighed. To be honest, he really didn't remember last night. The incident was in bits and pieces, only really remembering trying to get Seb away from the Sherwood and the gun, and then her leaving. He clicked his tongue, trying to think. He looked around for any nearby street signs, and none of them were familiar.

'Fuck me,' he thought silently to himself. He texted Seb back.

JJ: I have no idea where I am, dude.

He looked around again, beginning to move forwards. Wherever he was it wasn't anywhere he knew. JJ then decided to look at his location. Without a doubt, he was far from home, and JJ wasn't sure how he got here. Feeling a sudden pain in his head as he moved forwards, he brought his hand up to the painful area. It was bruised, but bringing his hand back down, he saw very minimal blood. He licked his lips as well, tasting the metallic liquid. He sighed in annoyance.

Seb: I see where you're at, I'll be there ASAP.

Sebastian sighed softly as he took notice into Markus's reaction. He cared more for JJ than he did Seb. He really couldn't blame him, but there was a bit of jelousey in Seb's gaze before he headed out the door, making his way to his Mustang.

Sebastian drove with JJ's location on his GPS, taking the right turns. He was far out of the neighborhood, and this area wasn't even familiar to Seb. He gulped, looking around before seeing JJ.

JJ stood with dried blood on his forehead, lips, and nose. His gaze was slightly blurry as the pain was barely bearable, and he inhaled sharply as he saw Seb's familiar car. Sebastian pulled up next to him. He was on the outskirts of some neighborhood, and quickly realized this was a different territory.

JJ got in a fight, Seb assumed. But who the hell knew if he would have remembered it.

JJ climbed in the car, fastening his seatbelt. "What the hell happened to you, kid?" Seb asking, shooting a glance at his brother before his blue eyes focused on the road. He was beginning to drive around the unknown neighborhood.

JJ scoffed. "I couldn't tell you. I barely remember last night, let alone how I ended up over here." JJ informed his brother.

"Dad's pissed, you know that, right? At me, not you." Sebastian said. He then shook his head. "Why did you leave anyways?" He then asked, looking at the buildings and houses. They were unfamiliar, yes, but were in decent shape. This place was like no other in the city.

Something was off.

"Because I needed to clear my mind." JJ shrugged. "And cause why not?" He then added.

Seb shook his head slightly before he began leaving the area.

"If one of you don't start talking right now, I'm done" Hannah was growing impatient, if they weren't going to talk, why was she even down her in the first place. Tapping her arm impatiently, she waited for a reply, only to be met with ashamed silence. Pretty typical of them, but what she didn't understand is why they called her downstairs. She heard her mother telling her to go down, now hse's here and all they're going to do is sit in silence, staring at her? It just didn't make sense.

Hannah chuckled at her family, they were absolutely hopeless. Making her way back to her room, she changed into some activewear, grabbing her phone and headphones she went back downstairs. Her family were all whispering to each other, clearly not wanting her to hear. It was quite obvious thta her finding out last night was not intended, so Hannah wasn't surprised they still weren't going to talk about it now.

She made her way through the house, and outside, pulling up some music, she streched and began her run. Was she secretly hoping to come across the boys again? Maybe, but there was no way they would be in her territory. Last night proved that going back there was the last thing she should be doing right now, especially after kiddo pulled a gun on her. Although, Hannah was still certain he wouldn't have gone through with it, he was clearly not thinking it through. She had a feeling that something more was going on with him, and Seb.

Hannah worked her way towards the outskirts of her territory, she stopped ta the corner. If she continued down this road, she'd be right back in Adriel land. The question was, did she go back for payback or let them get the best of her?

The brothers had fallen quiet, only the sound of the low music playing. Sebastian exhaled before he looked at JJ who was staring out the window. He had no shoes on, only socks, grass stains on his clothing, and blood dried on his face and partially on his hands. His knuckles were bruised as well, Seb only questioned if his brother realized this.

JJ looked at his brother as they took a turn. "I don't know what happened last night." He said. Sebastian looked confused. He didn't say anything, and to be honest, didn't wanna talk about it. He would have to deal with Markus when they arrived back home anyways, and arguing with JJ wasn't going to help. Well, if it came down to that, that is.

"What do you mean? Why you have blood on your hands, or the Sherwood girl?" Sebastian asked, spotting a girl on the corner. JJ looked at her, feeling a sense of familiarity. Sebastian had slowed in case she was to cross, but something came over him. He looked at JJ who closed his eyes and swayed slightly in his seat before put his head back and opened his eyes again.

"Stop the car." JJ said.

"What?" Sebastian shot back.

"Stop the car, dammit." JJ replied, shooting a glare at his older brother.

"Jay, you don't even have fucking shoes on for Christ's sake." Sebastian commented, looking down towards his feet before looking back up at the road. He had taken a turn towards the Adriel territory, their territory.

"Fucking dammit, Seb, stop the car!" He yelled again. Sebastian clenched his jaw before pulling over off to the side of the road. JJ looked back in the direction of the girl at the corner. That was her. The Sherwood. JJ inhaled slowly through his nose and exhaled out of his mouth before he unlocked the door on his side and unbuckled, climbing out.

"Go home." He said to Seb before closing the door, looking in the direction of the girl again.

Hannah watched with keen interes as one of the doors opened and someone stepped out. At first she didn't recognize him, but then she did. It was Seb and that little kid who pulled a gun on her. For all the talk they made about her being on their territory, they sure had some nerve to show up on hers the next morning. But now, the thing is, Hannah had the advantage here. They always say being on your home ground it better, and now she knew exactly what that meant.

"What the fuck are you doing here? She asked them nicely, well, nicely wasn't entirely true. But she asked, they earned that respect. They were lucky she didn't kill them right now, they at least deserved a chance to explain. But it would be another story to whether she believed them or not.

For the second time this morning, Hannah was tired of waiting. Quickly walking over to him, she grabbed the collar of his shirt and pushed him back into the car. Cocking her head at him, she looked over at Seb, who was still in the car. Hannah could feel the tension in the air, one wrong move and they'd be mourning the death of aother Adriel. This time, she didn't care which one it was.

Hannah knew she shouldn't be antagonizing them, but she had to. It was what she always did. They had the audacity to come here on their own free will, she wasn't going to let them leave without a few scratches. She would make sure of that, no matter what it took.

"Care to explain, or shall I just kill you now?"
