Erin Hawkwood is a junior in high school and the perfect child, even when her twin Evelyn, and older brother Evan seem otherwise. That's until she meets Elijah D'Cruz on accident, who shows her what she's been missing....


His eyes pool with tears and I can't stop my tears from streaming down my face. My hands are trembling with the gun in it and I don't even know if I'll be able to hold it up straight. Is this it? The end?

"I love you babygirl." He says, placing a kiss on my forehead, before turning the corner of his car and all I can hear are gun shots and wails and screams.

The Nose Piercing Boy

"Hands up! Drop everything!" One of the guys in all black yells. He has a much bigger gun in his hand. A machine gun? I've seen Evan play with it in Fortnite before. 


"Shove it into your bra!" He whisper yells and I do so without hesitating. I might've flashed him a bit of cleavage but I don't care, this is life matter right here. 


"Drop everything! Hands up!" He says more louder. 


"Round up boys!" He says, motioning for the rest of them to move around the crowd. 


"Get down on your knees!" He yells again. His voice is so muffled that I can barely make out what he's saying. He looks like he's wearing those hats that cover almost your whole face. I mean it is cold outside... 


"I'm paralyzed son!" And old lady, probably about 90, croaks out. 


"I don't fucking care!" He screams, recklessly shooting at the bottom of the table she was sitting at, causing a bunch of the crowd to scream in shock, me included.
