”Why can’t you just listen and stay here to make sure you’re okay?” Dani asked her tiredly. She was exhausted, having not slept in a few days thanks to the nightmares.

“Because his cousin got me shot and he probably wants me dead so I can’t tell on him. I’m guessing that’s why I’m here, isn’t it?” she asked, her gaze still fixed on the girl though her words were meant for the guy. He seemed like he was more in charge which would make her the weaker link.
“That’s not-“ he began, but she wasn’t interested in hearing him out.

Dani heard what she said and she shrugged. "I have no idea why you're here. I just got here myself," Dani said to her. She heard her ask what her name was. "Danielle. And yours?" She asked her.

Sophie smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, Danielle. I’m Valerie.” she introduced herself. “Danielle, do you know who he is?” she added, motioning to the guy. “Other than your boyfriend, I mean.”

Danielle heard Valerie introduce herself and she bit her tongue. She heard what Val asked and then what she said. ”Oh he’s not my boyfriend…” Danielle said blushing. Even though he wasn’t her boyfriend, she wanted him to be

Sophie tilted her head and glanced between the two of them. At that point the boy spoke up. “Nor do I have any idea what you’re implying.” he said, his voice low. She wasn’t sure what his involvement in the gang was, but she doubted it was nothing.
“Oh, I’m sure you don’t,” she drawled. “But I also don’t plan on trusting a word you say.” Then she turned to Danielle. “I think you would really be better off without him, love. You’re just a child, don’t get pulled into his shit.”

Dani was extremely confused by the conversation going on. She didn’t think Mav was harmful to her. ” I’m not a child. And I can handle myself just fine thank you very much,” Dani said to her

Sophie frowned and clicked her tongue. “You still didn’t answer the first question so I’ll assume you don’t know. He’s part of one of the… well it’s definitely one of the top three worst gangs in New York. Drugs, money laundering, straight up murder when they don’t like people. It’s-“
“Actually I’m not though, you’re thinking of my cousin.” the guy cut her off.
Sophie frowned and studied the guy. He didn’t look like he was lying, but if he wasn’t then it was worse. Was he really that gullible? Then again, he did look pretty young too. Maybe he wasn’t involved yet, but it would only be a matter of time. “If you’re willing to house a strange girl you haven’t met for him you’re as good as in. You know they never just ask for one favor.”

Dani looked between the two. ”I need to sit down. Look just go back in the room and as soon as his cousin talks to you or whatever, just hang tight…” Dani said leaning against the wall. All she wanted to do was maybe watch a movie with Maverick and cuddle a bit.
Mackenzie frowned when she hadn’t heard from her girlfriend in a while. She was supposed to be home hours ago but no such luck. She pressed on her contact info and brought her phone to her ear as she waited for her to pick up

Soph frowned as the girl walked away, but a moment later her phone started buzzing in her pocket. She glanced at it and saw ‘Bluebell’ across the screen in good font. There was no way in hell she would be taking it here so she really has to be leaving.
“Tell Peyton he can find me later. This conversation is over and I am leaving now.” she said, then walked towards the staircase, assuming the exit was upstairs. None of the doors down here looked like they’d lead outside.
“You really shouldn’t,” the guy said, but didn’t physically stop her.
Sophie turned and glanced back at him. “And you shouldn’t drag her along into whatever trouble you and your cousin get yourselves into. I’ve been in this life a long time, it’s better to cut her loose.” That last part was an exaggeration, but she hated the idea of anyone innocent needlessly getting hurt.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” he replied.
“Neither do you,” she shot back, then stalked away. When she got out of the building she dialled Mackenzie’s number and waited for the girl to pick up.

A moment after the girl left, Mav walked over to Dani and plopped down next to her. “I’m so sorry about that,” he sighed.

Mackenzie frowned when her call got disconnected. She paced back and forth as she stared at her phone. When it finally rang, she saw Baby❤️ across the screen. She picked up the phone. ”Hey. Where the hell are you?” Mackenzie asked into the phone.
~~~
Dani gnawed on her fingernail as she glanced up at Mav as she walked in. ”So you really don’t know who she is?” Dani asked him.

"Uh... That's a good question," Sophie replied to Mackenzie's question. She was still making her way to the building's entrance. "I'm not sure, I'll be able to tell you in a moment here. Sorry, I wasn't able to come home last night, I got caught up with something." She didn't really want to go into detail, even though she was sure Mackenzie would catch on eventually. Hiding a damn bullet wound was going to be difficult.

Mav shook his head in response to Dani's question. "Nope. She's probably not anyone good, my cousin's friends never are, but other than that I have no idea."

Mack heard Sophie and she frowned. ”Is there someone else?” Mack asked her. The thought crossed her mind many times when Sophie wouldn’t come home until late at night.
~~~
Dani sat next to him and she frowned. ”I hope she’s not in any trouble…” Dani said. ”Your sister asked me to come here because you’ve been acting off again…”

Sophie frowned at Mackenzie’s question. “What? Of course there’s not!” she replied. “There could never be anyone else for me. That would make me a fool and I may be many things but I’m not a fool.”
~~~
Mav sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “My sister worries too much. I’ve missed you, but I’m doing fine.”
Post by Danielle Jackson on Mar 11, 2022 21:46:30 GMT -5
”But you can see why I’m worried right? Because you’ve been off and not coming home…” Mack said. ”Are you in your way home?” Mack just wanted to cuddle and maybe watch a movie with Sophie.

Dani heard what he said and she blushed. ”Ive missed you too. When is this grounding going to end?” Dani asked him
