Kira moved herself out of her bed as her alarm beeped annoyingly in her ear. She slammed the alarm off and sleepily head towards her bathroom. She wasn't feeling all too good today. Her depression had kicked in, and she didn't feel like going to work today. She just wanted to crawl back into her bed and stay in a dreamless sleep forever. She had recently lost her only brother to crime. He had owed the wrong kind of people money, and now he was dead. She had no one to turn to. She was alone in self hatred and depression. She couldn't shake the feeling of ending her own life to get away from the loneliness that was swallowing her up slowly.

Kira padded across her room making sure to avoid every mirror on the way. She didn't want to see the state of herself this morning. Feeling it was enough to make her feel shit, seeing it would make her feel even more. The brunette turned on the shower letting it heat up for a few seconds before getting in. She let the warmth of water wash away her troubles as she sobbed. She liked the water, it meant that no one could see her pain when she cried. She eyed up the blades before deciding today wasn't one of those days. Instead, she washed her hair and body before turning the shower off and padding back to her room in just a towel.

She quickly slipped on her work uniform before she had time to think about crawling back into her warm comfy bed and shutting out the world around her. Kira needed the money, she had a funeral to pay for and a flat to keep running. She had no time for sleep right now. She grumbled before drying her hair and applying a little makeup. She groaned at the sight of her pale face at the moment. She hadn't been able to eat these past couple of days, which made her look frail and ill. When she was done, she managed to eat some toast before heading to work. It was 6:00 pm, she had half an hour before she had to be at the bar. She rolled a cigarette and lit it. She let the the nicotine burn her throat as she coughed. Kira was new to smoking, but loved the way it made her feel it took the edge off her already stressed situation.

She let the cool air hit her as she undid her jacket, she was too hot and needed to take the edge of the heat. Kira took her normal route to work, down an alley way and up the main road. It took about 10 minutes off her journey. That meant she could walk slowly and still be on time ready to work. As Kira turned the corner, she couldn't help but bump into two guys. One was tall with a beard and the other one as she backed away from from the first.

"Well well well Ronnie, what do we have here? A pretty little kitten" he purred as he edged closer to the Kira. The guy named Ronnie let out a little chuckle as he grabbed kira by the waist.
"Please" she begged as she felt the other guy lift her chin to look at him.
"I love it when they beg, it makes it much more fun. Ronnie, hold her down" snapped the other man. Kira begged as she was pushed down to the floor, held down by the darker haired man. She wriggled under his vice like grip before he started to undress her. Kira cried out for help as this wasn't how she wanted to loose her virginity.

" 'Ello boys, what do you think you're doing on my side of town? Did we forget that I own this part and no one touches the girls here?" said a voice unfamiliar to Kira. She blinked away her tears before she saw a tall guy covered in Tattoos standing away from her leaning against the wall arms folded across his chest. The bearded guy scoffs in disgust before spitting his words out.
"Ah, the infamous Oliver Sykes. Better be careful, you're alone and unarmed, would be shame if something were to happen to you" his words came out like Venom. The tattooed guy laughed with amusement radiating from his voice.
"it's you who should be worried, not get the fuck off her and back off slowly. I have warned you both once, next time, I won't be so nice". Ronnie let go of Kira and she lay there shivering.
"Oliver, you're such a kill joy. Come down, have some fun!" Ronnie let out a bone chilling laugh.
"I mean it Radke, you don't wanna cross me" Oli inched forward. Both the boys backed off and walked away yelling as they walked.
"We'll get you Sykes, don't worry about that. You'll get you" and with that they walked off laughing to themselves.

Kira tried to get up and cover what was left of her dignity before falling over passing out into the dark haired mans arms. He scooped her up and put him in his Limo, where his other friends were partying. They saw Kira and all shut up. One gave Oli a look and he nodded answering the boys question without speaking. The boys covered Kira in a blanket and placed her on a row of seats to sleep.
As soon as they got to their destination, they took her upstairs and placed her in Oli's bed before going downstairs to have a few drinks.

-Several Hours Later-

Kira awoke from her deep, dreamless sleep. Her eyes flickered open and panic rose throughout her body. Where was she and how did she get here? She whimpered in pain as her head started to throb. She UN-Tucked herself from under the feather covers and had a look round the room. The room was filled with posters of bands. Linkin park seemed to be the main feature of the room. The walls were a deep red with one white one, which must have been the feature wall. Kira looked down to realize that she wasn't in her own clothes, she had been placed in a long T-shirt with a pair of shorts.
She made her way to the door when it suddenly opened. She bolted behind the bed and hid.
"it's alright Love, there is nothing to worry about. I've only come to see if you're alright?" said a very familiar voice. Kira peeked over the bed to see the guy named Oliver Sykes standing there with a glass of water and toast on tray.
"Stay away" she said as her voice was low and scared. Her body shook in fear as she remembered what had happened before she ended up in this mans house.
"It's okay Love, I won't hurt you. Please, come and eat something. I think you passed out from the lack nutrients in your body. I had Jordan have a look at you and he told me that you don't seem to have eaten in a while" Kira came out from the bed and stood up. She crossed her arms over her body, hiding it from this stranger. The stranger that had saved her from something no one should ever experience.
"What's your name Love? I'm Oliver, but please call Me Oli, unless it's in the bedroom" he said with a wink. Kira blushed a little at his comment before sitting on the bed, nervously playing with her hair.
"Kira... My name is Kira" she said shyly.
"What a beautiful name to go with a beautiful lass" he smiled offering her some water and food. She declined but thanked him.
"So, why were you all alone down that alleyway? Didn't anyone teach you that walking alone is a dangerous habit to get into?" his face turned serious and heavy with thought.
"I always walk that way. It's just quicker and I've always been fine" Oli raised an eyebrow.
"Really? What if I hadn't walked past? Those guys would have done a lot worse if I wasn't there. I don't want to sound at all creepy Love, but I would like it if you stayed here for a few days, just so I can keep an eye on you"
Kira raised an eyebrow. "Why would I, um, do that? I'm grateful and all but I have a job I need to get to" with that she started to walk off. Oli stopped her with his arm.
"Listen, they are dangerous people, they will come looking for you. The safest place for you to be is here, with me and my friends." Kira sighed.
"And i'm meant to believe you?"
"Yes, I've given you no reason not to trust me, Kira. Just please, stay. I'll help towards whatever it is you need the money for" Kira heard the plea in his voice and sighed. She didn't have anyone, so she guessed staying here would mean she would have some company for a while. Kira agreed and nodded. Oli's seriousness washed away with her agreement and with that he smiled.
"Well Kira, welcome to the family, let me show you around"
