Chapter 5:

The Set Up

The Hollow Silence


As I get closer to the location Two men were waiting for me.

"What did you need me to do?" N asked.

"You have to come with us," they replied.

I nodded slowly, but as I got into their car, I secretly shared my live location with Mullet Girl. If this went south, I needed someone to know where my body was.

We pulled up to a deserted warehouse.

"What are we doing here?"N asked, a chill running down my spine.

"Oh, this is where you will be staying from now on."

Panic surged. What? No. I didn't think; I just moved. I whipped out the knife, the blade slicing through one of the men's arms. "Y'all want some of this? Let's go!"

You're so stupid for following them, I yelled at myself in my head. What is wrong with you? They swung back, but I remembered the combos Mullet Girl taught me. I saw her face in a flashback, coaching me, then snapped back to the present. I dodged and struck until both of them were on the ground.

I stood there, out of breath. "Wow. That was a lot."

I dialed Mullet Girl. "Hey... are you busy? Can you come get me?"

"Omg I didn't see your text! I'll come get you."

As mullet girl pulled up she says why is she in a deserted warehouse?

I get In the car, Mullet Girl looked at me with wide eyes. "What happened to you? What's going on?" N ignored her question and said

"Can I stay with you for a few days?" I whispered. "I don't feel safe."

"Okay," she said softly.

I passed out before we even reached her place.

[Mullet Girl's POV]

I carried her inside and realized she needed clean clothes and her wounds patched up but As I was changing her, I couldn't help but notice... damn, she's really hot. I felt my face heat up. I glided my hand down her arm. Her skin was so soft.

N let out a slight, soft moan and turned over. I jumped back, heart racing, and just went to sleep.
