I laid on the couch in the slatt house as Zion and I passed a blunt around back and forth. I let out a deep and shaky breath as I let myself feel all the affects of the weed. "Do you ever wish your life was different?" I asked Zion as we sat there alone.

We'd finished our runs for the day, we almost had to fight a group of kids that were trying to buy off of us but, I just flashed my gun and they kept it moving. I haven't used it in a while.

"Uh, yeah sometimes, I just wonder what life would be like if I wasn't involved in this life but- it's all I know, it's all I have, that's why I haven't went anywhere." He spoke honestly. Zion doesn't really go in depth about his family life, his struggles with addiction and all that unless he's talking to Tate and I. We've all been thick as theives.

My best friends grew up in the system as well. Zion was taken away from his family because they were drug dealers and gang members. Zion had witnessed more death and probably seen a lot of murders happen right before his eyes.

His dad was basically heartless, didn't care about anyone. His mom, she just went along with it because she had no way out, she had no money, she was hooked on drugs and her husband was the supplier.

They never really took care of Zion so, when the big bust came down, his father was shot and killed, his mom was arrested, his brothers left him, and he was put in the system where he met me.

Tate on the other hand, her mom was a drug addict and went a bit nuts so, she's in a psych ward upstate, she's probably never leaving that place so, since no one in Tate's family wanted her, she was put in the system. She had decent homes, she just wanted out.

I met her, obviously thought she was hot and then the three of us became attached at the hip so, when we all joined the Reckless Outlaws, it was kind of like our first shot at another family. We just never left because we made a pact.

No matter what happens in the gang, our main priority is protecting each other. If one of us stumbles, we'll pick them up. I know they'll forever have my back, as they have. I'll do the same for them.

They also know Kyler. When I was locked up, they'd go check on him, give him money, take him food, get him new clothes. I owe them my life. If it wasn't for Zion and Tate, and Lizzie of course, I'd probably be dead and who knows what would've happened to Kyler.

"Aye, I been meaning to ask you something." Zion said as he sat up and turned to me. "What's up?" I asked. He started laughing before asking me the question. "You still fucking Tate?" he continued laughing.

I nudged him as he began to crack cup with laughter. "It's a serious question! I really thought y'all were about to start dating or something, it would've made me feel like a third wheel." I smiled to myself as I shook my head. "We haven't since I came back but we did the night before I got arrested." I laughed making Zion cringe.

I sat back and couldn't help but be grateful for where I am right now. I know, the situation I'm in isn't all that good but, I have a chance to get Kyler back and I'm not in jail so, I consider that a win I just have to stay out of trouble.

"It's this one." I said as Aubrey and I searched for the house. Everything on this street is so weird. "Come on." I said as Aubrey and I walked up the steps to the door. I knocked and took a step back as I awaited an answer. "Hello." a little girl said as she opened the door. I couldn't help but to smile at how adorable she was.

"Hi is-"

"Lizzie?" I hear as I look up from the girl to see Kyler on the steps before his eyes widen and he comes rushing out the door and into my arms. I held him tightly knowing this was more than just a nice to see you hug. I let him hold on as I heard Darcy's voice. "Lizzie, Aubrey? Hi, how are you?" she asked as Kyler let go of me before moving over to say hi to Aubrey.

"Hi, sorry to show up unannounced, I wanted to check-in on Kyler, see how he's doing."

"Yeah no worries, you two can come in, can I get you something to drink?" Aubrey and I turned down her offer as Kyler took us up to his room. "There's not much but, I have a room!" He said eagerly. I smiled at the young boy. Wow, he looks like Y/n. He had the same exact eyes as she did, she always told me she got them from their mom.

Kyler was showing Aubrey some of the stuff he had in his room before he paused and turned to me as I sat down on his bed. He looked at Aubrey and then back at me. "Is she dead?" he whispered as his voice cracked. "No- no sorry, no. Kyler, I just came to check on you and to let you know I'll be taking over your case again. I also wanted to come see you, for her."

Kyler nodded as he looked relieved. "Is she going back to jail?"

"I certainly hope not. She's safe Ky, she's been staying with me until I can find a place for her to go."

"She's staying with you?' he questioned. I nodded, assuring my answer. Kyler smiled as he hugged me again.

"I missed you." he muttered making me smile. "I missed you too but, hey, keep this between us but, as soon as I can, I'm going to try and set up a day for you to see her. I know it's been a while and I'm so sorry you two got separated during my absence so, if there's anything I can do, let me know."

Kyler just nodded as he thought to himself. "Lizzie, just keep her alive." he said softly. I looked over at Aubrey who looked just as stunned as I did.

I nodded and held onto the 10-year old boy. He's had to grow up a lot faster than most kids, he's seen a lot of things, far more than what a kid his age should go through. "I'll try my best." I smiled as Aubrey and I began talking to him and seeing what's been up in his life.

"Y/n?" I called out as I walked into my house. I heard the t.v. in the living room on. I stepped in to see Y/n on the couch with a bowl of popcorn beside her. She turned her head when she heard my heels clicking against the floor as she sent me a smile.

"Sorry, I had a busy day- did you eat?" I asked as I stood in front of her. She paused whatever was playing before she stood up, looking at me with her beautiful hazel eyes. She came over to me giving me a hug which I gladly accepted. After the day I had, I needed a hug and she gives some of the best.

"You don't have to apologize, it's not like you have a curfew, this is your house." she giggled as she kept her arms around me. "I know but I don't want you just bored here alone, but you didn't answer my question." I said as I pulled away.

"I ate earlier, I'm not really hungry, well, not for food at least." She replied with a smirk on her lips. "Y/n, come on-" I said as she got closer to me. "Lizzie, come on, would it really be that bad?" she questioned.

I pondered the thoughts in my head before quickly changing the topic of discussion. "I'm gonna shower, I'll be back." Y/n just nodded as she sat back down continuing the movie she was watching. I didn't take too long and when I got out and finished getting dressed, I headed to the kitchen grabbing some water before heading to the couch where Y/n was still sitting. I sat beside her letting out a sigh.

"You okay?" she laughed. "Yeah, just exhausted, I was on my feet all day. Aubrey and I had to make a lot of stops, then we had a court hearing to go to, I just want to relax. My feet are killing me." I complained as Y/n smiled. "Here." she said as she patted her lap. "Y/n, no, that's inappropriate I'm not sitting on your lap."

"No dummy, I'm gonna give you a massage." She said not being dirty minded for once. I scooted back on the couch as I brought my legs up and let Y/n massage my feet. "I saw Kyler today, he looks so much like you."

Y/n's eyes brightened as she looked at me. "Was he excited to see you?" She smiled. "He practically wouldn't let go. He misses you, Y/n/n." Y/n nodded as she looked me in the eyes. "I miss him too."

"Act right and I'll try and put something together so you two can see each other for a day, he's in a stable environment, I don't want to mess that up so no foolery." Elizabeth pointed.

I nodded and smiled as I continued massaging her feet. Lizzie leaned her head back at the feeling before biting her lip. I continued moving my hands and Lizzie let a moan slip from her lips. I'd be lying if I said that didn't turn me on in the slightest.

I continued my motions as my hands began to move upwards, massaging her calves as her back slightly arched. I stopped, making her eyes flutter open before she looked at me. She didn't utter a single word. I moved her left leg over a bit to open up more space between her legs before I got between her and hovered over her. Our eyes were locked on one another as I turned my head to the side, my body pressed against hers.

I felt my member getting hard and I knew she could feel it too. I moved my head further down, lightly pressing a kiss to her neck as she closed her eyes. I continued leaving kisses, as my lips trailed her collarbone before she put her hand on my chest.

"No, stop." she spoke quickly as I backed away from her. She ran a hand through her hair as she looked freaked out. "I'm sorry- Y/n, I- I'm going to bed." She spoke before quickly grabbing her phone off the table and heading up to her bedroom leaving me there alone.
