"shit Red are u fr right now?" I asked, still embracing Alex in my arms.

"Unfortunately so my brother. We gotta get them out of that place so we can stash all our stuff there u feel me." Red sighed. She looked like she hadn't slept much which was kinda obvs since she was staying with some random squatters from Ireland or some shit.

"but remember what happened last time? Shit man I can't go through that again blud." Nicky looked well sad.

"Nicky ur gonna have all of us there this time ok. It's gonna be chill af u'll see." Red didn't sound v convincing.

I could see some big ass tears welling up in Alex's eyes. I knew she didn't like it when we had to fuck ppl up, but it was something we had to do. She looked at me with her bright af green eyes and a single tear starting falling the fuck out of one of them. Shite.

"Look it's too late to do shit now so we should meet here tomorrow at the same time ok." Red ran her hand through her fiery hair. "Go get some sleep guys ok u need ur rest."

Nicky and Morello left together while Red headed to the back of the chicken shop. Me and my g Alex were still hugging bc she wouldn't let me go. I kept my arms around her when she started to like properly cry fam and I mean it was loud af.

"Pipes man I don't wanna kill ppl ok it's freaky af." She sobbed.

"I kno man but we gotta do it ok. We need to be able to keep the drugs somewhere before we sell them and this place near Maccy's seems p perf for it."

I rubbed her back and started leading her out of Dixy's. It was a shame I didn't get to eat any luverly chicken.

We headed back up to our apartment and Alex was still fecking crying. I didn't rly kno what to do bc I'd been too hardened by the thug life. Remember kids: I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me.

Alex went straight to the bathroom and locked the door. I sat my fat arse down on the sofa and switched the tV on. I got dem happy vibes when I saw a Hollyoaks repeat was on. I lit up a fag and was just chillin when Alex finally came out of da loo.

"Pipes do u want some Carling." She said, her voice still a lil shaky.

"Nah fam I'm good but look Hollyoaks is on u should come watch with me."

She got a chill af can out of the fridge and sat down next to me. Her eyes were still a lil red but she'd stopped crying thank god. We were watching some shite drama GO DOWN on hollyoaks when she leant back into me. Alex fuckin Vause was lyin on me rn. My heart started going BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. I put my arm around her for that emotional support u feel.

"fam r u ok" I asked.

"Idk fam, I'm still feeling spooked abt tomorrow u kno."

I took a drag of ma cig and flicked the ash off. "We're gonna be fine ok. I promise u, everythin is gonna be ok"

"How do u kno that tho fam. R u psychic? Nah didn't think so."

"U gotta trust Red man. Trust me. We ur squad and we got ur back."

She didn't reply, she just put her can on the table and got up of the sofa.

"Imma go to bed ok. U probs should too if we're gonna do this tomorrow" Alex's face was v damn sad.

After putting ma pyjamas on and brushing my teeth bc I'm not a sket, I got into bed and felt immediately relaxed by the soft af pillows. Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I heard a knock on my bedroom door.

"Yo Alex u ok?" I called out.

She opened the door and came in. "Pipes can I stay w u pls I can't sleep."

"Sure bro get ur arse over here."

She closed the door behind her and got into bed behind me. My heart started going BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM again. Idk wtf was up with that shit but it was annoying af.

I woke up bc the sun was bright af and it was coming in through my fucking curtains. I picked up my phone and checked the time. 12:34. Ok Red wanted us at 4pm so it was chill chill af.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Alex was still fast asleep af. She looked p cute tbh. Her hair was all messy and her mouth was open slightly. I didn't wanna wake her so I went into ninja mode and stood up out of bed. After stretching my stiff af body, I went through my wardrobe to find some fleeky clothes. I pulled out my full dark blue Adidas tracksuit and took off my pyjamas. I put on some underwear and a bra only to be scared af by Alex's voice.

"Wow Pipes u look p sexy rn"

"JESUS FECKIN CHRIST U SCARED THE SHITE OUT OF ME"

She laughed. "It's tru tho. That underwear be makin u look damn fineeeee."

"Ok stop flirting and get up." I pulled up my tracksuit trousers.

Alex went back to her room to get dressed and shite while I grabbed my phone and called Nicky.

"Yo Piper wassup." She replied. She'd clearly only woken her arse up.

"Get Morello and bring ur arses over here. We should all go down to Dixy's together ok."

"Sure fam we'll bring u guys some tasty af sausage rolls from Gregg's ok"

"YOU ABSOLUTE LEDGE NICKY NICHOLS." I screamed.

Alex came into my room. "Pipes wtf is wrong with u."

"NICKY IS GONNA BRING SOME LUVVVVERLY SAUSAGE ROLLS."
"OMGGGGGG NO WAY I CRI."

Sausage rolls were my fave af thing. Only 80p as well what a fuckin bargain.

I danced to the door when I heard ma g's arrive bc I knew they had those sauage rolls. I couldn't stop thinking abt them.

"NICKY MY MVP" I yelled when I saw the Gregg's bag.

Morello looked tired af which was weird bc she was the heaviest sleeper in the squad. Something had obvs kept her up but it was a feckin mystery what that was. Nicky looked kind of tired too but then again that was just her face.

We ate those luvvvvverly sausage rolls and I was crying. They were the most delicious thing ever fam u have no idea unless u have a Gregg's near u. If u don't then I feel v sorry for u bc u can't have one of them luvvvvvverly sauasage rolls.

"Guys we better go now bc Red needs to go through the plan with us ok." Morello said, brushing pastry crumbs off her jeans.

I looked at Alex who looked worried af.

We headed down to Dixy chicken and saw Red standing over a piece of paper with a shit load of notes and crap on it.

"Yo bros r u ready for this shit." She said, doing the secret squad handshake with us.

"Fuck yes man, let's go kill some motherfuckers." Nicky said, pulling out her gun.

Red went through the plan with us. We'd give them a chance to grab their shite and get out and if they refused, we'd just cap the shit out of them. Fair plan tbh.

"Everyone cool with this? Ok then, let's get our arses over there now." Red rolled up the piece of paper and threw it under a table.

The safehouse was a bus ride away. We went up to the second floor and sat at the back like tru roadmen. Nicky got out her phone and played some sick af tunes while we rode the roadman-mobile.

We got to our stop and jumped off the bus, making sure we said thank u to the driver. We may be roadmans, but we had manners.

"Ok guys, remember the plan. We're gonna give em 1 chance to move their crap or we fuckin shoot em up."

Alex was pale af. As the others started heading to the massive af entrance, I took her hand.

"We're gonna be chill ok? Just stay close to me." I said.

She smiled at me and took out her gun, squeezing my hand.

We caught up with the other mandems and stood in front of some peeps. They looked p much like us, but they were all guys. One was kind of chubby with silver hair that he had combed back. Another was tall and skinny with a stupid moustache and short hair. He looked at us like we were luvvvvvverly sausage rolls. The third was also chubby and bald, with a moustache.

"what u want." The silver haired one asked.

"who tf are u" Red asked.

"I'm Healy, the skinny one is Mendez and the other one is Caputo." He said.

"well, thx for that. Now u need to get ur shit and get out of here or we'll fuckin kill u bitches." Red threatened.

"lmao wat" said Caputo.

"srsly I'm not kidding ok. We will shoot ur face." Red hissed.

"lmao ok. Go away u lil shites." Mendez laughed.

"Fine, u had ur warning tramps. Fire away squad."

I pulled out my gun AND SHOT THEM SKETS. NICKY AND MORELLO AND RED WERE SHOOTING TOO AND EVENTUALLY ALEX MY G DID. They fell on the floor and Nicky cheered. "Fuck ye we get their stuff as well."

Red patted me on the back and her, Nicky and Morello started going through their shite.

Alex put her gun away and hugged me rly tight.

"I'm proud of u my g." I told her.

"thank u my son." She kept her arms around me.

Fuck ye bitches we got the safehouse.
