Bell's POV
Thanks to Dev, I now have the rest of the day off.. So I decided to go meet up with the gang. My gang consisted a group of 7 people minus Dally, who promised he'd come back as soon as he turned 18. Nothing yet. Dammit Devin! I forgot about Dallas! It took me 8 years to do it and now I can't stop thinking about him. I can't help but remember the way Dally was when he left.
Dally was real tough. He was the leader of our group of friends. He always looked out for everyone and he kept a close eye on me. We met before anyone else in the gang, we were closer than the rest too. Whenever people our age at the time saw us together on the street, they knew to turn and walk the other way. Dal was the only person in the world that I had ever cared about, he still is. His hair was bleach blonde, thick and straight. His eyes f blue were as cold as ice but deep down I knew he wasn't cold, he was sad. But he would NEVER admit that. I miss him so much, more than anything in the world. The gang rarely talks about him because they know it brings me down.
Our gang started hanging out all together a few months after Dally and I met. Besides me and Dallas there are 3 other boys, Devin, James and Daniel, and 2 other girls, Amanda and Emma.
Devin, of course is my ex-boyfriend. The reason we broke up was he was cheating on me with one my good friends, Amanda. It simply was a one-night-stand between them two, I knew that, but I would never take him back after that. On some level I am cilvl with both of them for the sake of the rest of the gang. I kind of expected Amanda to throw herself at Dev like that. She's and easy skank.
Most of the time I just hung out with the others, Emma, James and Danny.
Emma is Devin's little sister. She is a really sweet girl, tough, but sweet. She's a little different from the rest of us hoods. She's just more grounded and level headed I guess. She can keep her cool too. Now, James, who we call Jimmy-Mac, he's a pretty funny guy. He always try's to make me laugh no matter what. He's a real good guy, we share a cheep apartment because were the only two in the gang that can actually stand to be around each other for that long. We all usually just hang out at our place. Last is Danny-Boy. Danny is and immigrant, he has a thick Irish Brogue and he came right off the boat from Ireland just after I turned nine. I was walking down the street one day and a bunch of older girls attacked me because they had their eyes on Dallas. Just as I was getting the living shit beaten outta me I see a freckled faced kid with blue eyes and red hair running toward me. He pulled the girls off of me and me him and the gang have been friends since. He really did save me from a good ass kicking that day.
I walked up the stairs to me and Jimmy's two-bedroom apartment and opened the door.
"Hey guys." I say walking through the door.
"Hey Bella! Why you home so early?" Emma asked. She was sitting on the floor in front of the TV while Danny was sprawled out on my couch and Jimmmy was off doing God knows what.
"Umm yeah the boss let me out early." I lied plopping down on the couch next to Danny's feet. "So what are you guys up to?" I ask.
"Not much.." James calls from the other room..
"Sounds like fun!" I yell back to him.
"So what do you guys wanna do than?" Danny asks.
"Poker time!" James yells throwing a deck of cards on the table.
"Game on!" I say to him with a wink.
There may be another update for this tonight or tomorrow morning! DEPENDS ON THE REVIEWS THIS CHAPTER GETS THOUGH! :)
