beaweasley2: I didn't receive it

Loxxy: I don't know. But, let's find out


Grayson and I have been staying over at Emery's for the last couple of days. My brother and I couldn't be at our house right now. Mr. and Mrs. Whitehill were more than welcoming for letting Grayson and I stay. Grayson and I were watching the reports on the television. "For the first time, we've gotten a look at the inner workings of the Redhawks. Margaret Montrose was caught on video last night, leading a secret Red Hawk meeting and planning an attack at the Atrian Sector. The local philanthropist is being held without bail pending trial." the reporter was saying. "Are you two okay?" I heard Emery ask us. "Never thought what our 15 minutes of fame would look like." Grayson replied. "Shay?" Emery asked. I was silent. "I have nothing to say." I replied, quietly. I was thankful that Mr. Whitehill had turned the television off.

"Try and ignore them. Reporters were all over our house after the shooting at the Sector." Mr. Whitehill said, trying to reassure us. "There's French toast on the stove, you guys. We should get going if we're gonna get to my folks' by noon." Mrs. Whitehill said. "Grayson, Shay, you two can stay here as long as you two need." Mr. Whitehill said. "Thank you, Mr. Whitehill…" I started. "...But our uncle offered to put us up." Grayson finished as Mr. Whitehill stood up and walked over by his wife. "Let us know if there's anything you two need." Mrs. Whitehill said, softly as Mr. and Mrs. Whitehill left. "Your parents are really cool about this." Grayson said. "Yeah, Emery. You're lucky to have them." I said. "After everything that my dad went through, I understand what it's like to have your world turned upside down." Emery said. "Yeah." Grayson said, quietly. My phone had rang. It was Taylor. "It's Taylor. I have to take this." I said as I walked outside and answered my phone.

"Hey, Tay." I said. "I heard what happened. Are you and Grayson alright?" Taylor asked, frantically. "We're fine. Grayson and I are staying at Emery's for a while." I replied. "Oh, thank god." Taylor sighed out. "How're you feeling?" Taylor asked. I bit my lip. "I honestly can't believe my own parents would lie to me. Grayson and I are gonna visit our mom, I'm probably sure that he's bringing Emery along." I said. I know that Grayson's gonna need the support from Emery. "Yeah, I can't believe that your mom would attack your boyfriend and his kind." Taylor said. I blushed at the mention of Drake. "Speaking of Drake, I have to tell you something, but you have to swear on your life that you would never tell Grayson." I said. I heard Taylor gasp over the phone. "Oh, my God! Did you and Drake…" Taylor started to ask. "Yep." I answered for her. Taylor squealed over the phone and I had to get my phone away from my ear for a moment.

"Oh, my God! I'm so happy for you! You guys are gonna be a hot couple and I hope you get married and have…" Taylor was fangirling but I stopped her. "Tay! Calm down!" I exclaimed. "So, did he pop up the boyfriend question?" Taylor asked. "After what happened in my bedroom, I asked him what we were then he just left." I said. "That asshole!" Taylor exclaimed. "I know, I was confused yet heartbroken. Plus, here's the other thing. You know about the necklace Drake gave me?" I asked. "Yep." Taylor replied. "Well, whenever I'm around Drake, my necklace suspiciously glows. I have no idea what's going on." I confessed to Taylor. "That's weird." Taylor said. From the corner of my eye, I saw Grayson come up to me. "Shay, we're leaving." Grayson said. "'Kay." I said to Grayson. "I'll call you back." I said into my phone. "Okay, but when you see me, details!" Taylor exclaimed as I giggled and hung up. Honestly, what would I do without Taylor?

We were all at the bug. Grayson, Eric and I have joined Emery and her friend, Julia. After Eric left the Red Hawks, he's been less of an asshole. "I can't believe that about your guys' mom. How is she? Ha-Have you seen her yet?" Eric asked. "No, but we will." Grayson said. "I want to change the subject. Can we talk about something else?" I asked. Emery and Julia were struggling on what to talk about. "I'm failing Trig." Eric blurts out. I chuckled. Couldn't blame him. For how much I hate that class, I'm surprisingly passing.

"Wow." Emery said, awkwardly. "Um, I could tutor you, if you want." Julia said. I smirk. Am I sensing a crush forming? "What? It's not that big of a deal. Trig's hard. For some reason, I picked it up quickly." Julia said. "Yeah, and for how much I hate that class, I'm surprisingly passing." I said. "But trust me, there are plenty of things I don't get." Julia continued to explain. "Like cars." Emery said. "You leave Bruce out of this." Julia said. Who's Bruce?

"Wait, wait, I'm sorry. Who's Bruce?" Grayson asked. "Her beat-up old car." Emery said. "I like to think of Bruce as a member of the family." Julia said. "Because he's been passed down from generation to generation for centuries." Emery said. I let out a low whistle. "Ha-ha, you joke, but I've actually been a little worried about Bruce. Every time I speed up, he's starts making this weird chirping sound." Julia said. "That's your fan belt." Eric said. "Or a reason to get a new car." Emery added. "I think you should stick with Bruce, chirping and all. Loyalty's important." Grayson said, directing the last sentence to Emery with a smile. "Thank you, Grayson." Julia said as she raised her eyebrows at Emery, as if she's saying Ha, your boyfriend's on my side.

"Hey, guys. Enjoying your Sunday?" I heard a familiar voice. I turned around and it was Miss Benton. "Hi, Miss Benton." Emery said. "Hey Grayson, Shay, so sorry about your guys' mom." Miss Benton said. Here we go again. Grayson and I looked at each other as we stayed silent. "If you two want to talk, my door's always open." Miss Benton added. "Thanks Miss Benton." I said with a sad smile. "Yeah, we appreciate it." Grayson said. "All right. See you guys in class." Miss Benton said as she left. I got another call from Taylor. "Hey, Taylor." I said. "Can you help me?" Taylor said. "Yeah sure. About what?" I asked. "I'm near the shops and I'm dropping bags everywhere. I've tried calling Zoe, but she won't answer me." Taylor said. "Yeah, sure thing." I said as I hung up. "I gotta go." I said as I left The Bug.

I have walked out of The Bug and I helped Taylor out and Lukas helped out too. "Thanks. Can you pop the trunk for me?" Taylor asked as she hands Lukas her keys. Next thing I knew, Lukas slumped down as he was coughing...a lot. "Lukas?" I asked, getting Taylor's attention. Taylor gasped as we went towards him. "Lukas! Lukas!" Taylor shouted as I dialed 911. "Yeah, I need an ambulance. My friend started choking and then collapsed on the ground." I said, worriedly. "Someone help!" Taylor cried out. Everyone went around us to see what's going on and Emery and Grayson ran out towards Taylor's car and laid Lukas down.


Drake's POV:

From the corner of my eye, I saw Shay and Taylor with breathing masks. I can't help but be concerned for Shay. "Drake." I heard Roman as he lead me away from everyone's view. He then showed me the black cyper. "This is black cyper, isn't it?" Roman asked. "Where'd you get it?" I asked, getting the black cyper out of his hand. "Emery found it in Taylor's car." Roman told me. I sighed out. "Zoe must have put it there." I said. I knew that Zoe was using Shay against me and she started to attempt to attack one of the people Shay cares about. "We got to get back and talk to Castor. He'll know what to do." Roman said but as soon as I started walking away, Emery stopped Roman to talk to her.

"So, you're thinking Lukas was not the intended target?" Roman asked me as we were walking away from Emery. "Zoe must have been testing the black cyper to make sure it worked. And she hates Taylor and Shay, so I'm guessing that she's starting with Taylor first." I said. Now I might even regret even joining the Trags. But what Vega said.

Once I'm in, there's no way out.

"What did Vega say was the next step in the Trags' plan?" Roman asked. "She didn't tell me. But Zoe took me to a field where I helped her plant some in Beaumont's body." I said. "Well, if the black cyper's been planted, that means there's a lot more of it out there." Roman said. "Yeah, I can take you to the site where we buried the body." I said. "Gotta know how to get rid of it first." Roman said as we continued walking.


Shay's POV:

A bunch of us are at the hospital but we don't want to crowd Lukas's mom, Emery and Sophia went in first. I was wiping away any unshed tears. "You okay?" I heard a familiar voice. I looked up and it was Drake. "Barely. Mine and Taylor's throats are totally scratchy and we need to stick around for more tests. The paramedics say I should be fine, but how can they be so sure? It's not like they're doctors. I mean, Taylor and I were standing right there when Lukas inhaled whatever that was…" I started to freak out but Drake put a gloved hand on my shoulder, trying to get me to relax. It was kind of working. "It's not like you and Zoe even care. I saw you two leave Grayson's party together." I said. "It's not what you think." Drake said.

"Despite the fact that I got it on with you in my bedroom moments after my mother was arrested, I'm not stupid." I snapped. "Zoe told me there was a place where I could get booze to take back to the Sector. That's all. Nothing happened." Drake said. "Zoe's been ignoring Taylor's calls all day. I thought maybe you two hooked up and she was avoiding me. Now, I'm actually worried. She usually calls back right away, the same with my calls as well. I hope she's okay. I know that she could be a bitch, but Taylor and I have been best friends with her." I said. Drake was looking at me, awkwardly. "Well, uh...what's her address? I mean, if it makes you and Taylor feel any better, I can go over there…" Drake started but I cut him off. I knew where this was leading.

"Drake? Really? If you're using me to get to Zoe, then…" I started then he grabs my hand, interlocking our fingers. "I swear, Zoe is the last person on the planet I wanna get with. Besides, I prefer blondes. Platinum blondes." Drake said. I blushed a faint pink but when I looked down, my necklace started glowing...again. I had found myself writing down Zoe's address. "I'll check on Zoe." Drake said as he kissed my cheek and left. But from the corner of my eye, I saw Taylor with a smirk. "Explain." I said. "Basicly, what Drake told me is that Zoe was the last person on the planet he would want to get with...and he said that he prefers platinum blondes." I said. "Then, what was the kiss on the cheek for?" she asked. "I gave him Zoe's address to make sure she's okay. I thought that he was using me to get to Zoe but after what he told me, I felt reassured, glad that him and Zoe didn't have sex." I said. "Thank God Drake and Zoe didn't have sex. Because if they did, they would ruin the most cutest couples I've ever seen." Taylor said as we giggled. "Onto serious news, any word on Lukas?" I asked. "From what Sophia told me, not that good." Taylor said. "Shay, we need to go." Grayson said. "Okay." I said. "Good luck." Taylor muttered. "Gonna need it." I sighed out.

Grayson and I are now standing outside of the city jail. Grayson was calling Emery because Emery couldn't make it. When Grayson hung up, I went up to him. "You okay?" I asked, softly. "I'll be fine." I said. Grayson and I headed in and we saw our mom. "Grayson, Shay, I understand how angry you two must be…" my mom started to say. "You swore up and down that you and dad weren't involved in anything violent." Grayson said, shakily. "You lied to our faces. What else are you lying about, huh?" I asked. "We wish you two saw the Atrians for what they are- a threat. But since you don't...we were just trying to keep you two out of it. We lost one son because of the Atrians; we didn't want to lose another son and our daughter." my mom cried out. Anger was boiling up in me. Even though the Atrians killed Jed, they don't know the Atrians for who they are. I could feel tears streaming down. "Stop using Jed to justify what you did. You're in jail right now for being a terrorist." Grayson said. My mom looked up on me. "Shay, please." my mom said. I just shook my head. "Jed would be ashamed of you right now." I said as Grayson went to stand up, my mom speaks up.

"Grayson, Shay, wait. There's something you two need to know about Emery." my mom said. "Shay go." my brother muttered to me. I asked the guards to let me out and they did. Moments later, Grayson came out. "Hey, I'm sorry you have to hear that about Jed." Grayson said. "It's okay. What did mom tell you?" I asked as I was wiping away tears. "She was accusing Emery being last seen with that Bandell guy before the secret meeting." Grayson said. "Wow, that woman must be desperate." I said. "That's what I said." Grayson said as he left. When we got out of the city jail, I got a call from Taylor. I know it's going to be about Lukas. "Hey, how's Lukas?" I asked. "According to Julia, before you guys left, he had some kind of attack. The doctors are trying to make him feel comfortable but they don't know how much longer." Taylor said. "Just keep me updated, Tay." I said. "How was your's and Grayson's visit with your mom?" Taylor asked. "We finally got it out." I said. "That's good. Hey, I'll talk to you later, okay?" Taylor said. "Talk to you later." I said as I hung up. "How's Lukas?" Grayson asked. "From what Taylor told me and according to Julia, they said that before we left, Lukas had an attack. The doctors are trying to make him feel comfortable right now, but they don't know how much longer." I said. I just hope Lukas survives this.

I was waiting for Drake at The Bug. I saw Drake but he was all bruised. "What happened? Are you okay?" I asked. "Ran into some Red Hawks. We had words." Drake reassured. "Let me find something." I said, getting out my clutch to hopefully find something. But Drake had a gentle hold of my wrist. "It'll heal. It'll heal. Thank you." Drake reassured. "Okay." I said. "I found Zoe." Drake added. "Is she okay?" I asked. "Apparently, her family had money problems. They got evicted, and they're headed up north tonight to stay with some family." Drake said. "Zoe did tell me that she did have a messed up family. Taylor and I never been inside her house. I guess like she couldn't trust Taylor and I. If she didn't want to tell me or Taylor what she's going through..." I started to say, but Drake cuts me off. "No. It's not that she didn't trust you or Taylor, Zoe was...embarrassed. She didn't want you or Taylor to feel sorry for her." Drake said. Well, that is likely Zoe.

"She told me to say good-bye and that you were one of the bestest friends she ever had." Drake added, grabbing a hold of my hand. "Really?" I asked. "Yeah, really." Drake replied. "Thank you. It means a lot knowing that she's okay." I said. "Can you come with me?" Drake asked. He grabbed ahold of my hand and he lead me into one of the bathrooms.

"You wanna know about the meaning to that necklace?" Drake asked, gesturing to the necklace he got me back at the Sector. "If an Atrian gives that to anyone, Atrian or human, it means that they found their one true love. Whoever gives the necklace off to their one true love, the necklace glows around the giver. You're one of the only girls who respects me for who I am. And you're the only girl that I truly love." Drake said as he strokes my cheek. I was blushing so hard right now. I just leaned up and kissed him and he was more than happy to kiss back. "I want to start this out." Drake said. I bit my lip as I said…

"Okay."


Drake's POV:

If only Shay knew the truth.
