Disclaimer: I own nothing

This can't be happening. We can't die like this. I kept looking over at Lucy hoping that she would be able to make it out of this. I was looked over to the blond and saw that she was shaking uncontrollably. This didn't seem right at all. She turned around and looked at the helmet wearing boy with teary eyes.

Lucy took this as her advantage and started running toward her. She jumped on top of the blond girl knocking her down in the process. She started reaching out for the gun but the blond started fighting back. Lucy punched the girl in the face, and the girl punched her right back letting go of the gun.

"Stupid," I heard the boy on top of me whisper angrily as he let me go and started making his way over to the two fighting girls. I took the chance and ran over to him knocking him down. While he was still dazed I was able to take the knife away from his hold. My jaw was engulfed by pain when the boy punched me in the face causing me to drop the knife.

He did not just punch me in the face. My body was full of rage and apparently so was his. We were both throwing punches everywhere.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw that Lucy had the upper hand in the fight. She was on top of the blond pulling her hair with one hand to hold her head back while using her other hand to punch her.

The boy flipped me over and was now on top of me again. I pushed him back causing him to fall over. The two weapons were long forgotten by this point. We were both so into the fight that we didn't notice two pair of feet running toward us.

"Everybody STOP!" We all stopped. Both of our hands just mere inches away from each others face. We both turned over to see the person that was speaking. His eyes widened in shock.

Kendall stood there pointing the gun toward us. Logan was next to him holding the knife.

The girls didn't seem to notice that Kendall had the gun and continued to fight. He then pointed the gun toward them. This didn't go unnoticed by the boy. His breathing quickened more if that was possible and his body started to shake in panic.

He got up quickly and made a mad dash toward the girls. He grabbed Lucy's shoulder and pulled her away from the blond. He help her sit up and held her in a protective embrace.

"Now both of you get away from James and Lucy if you don't I swear I will shoot!" Kendall yelled.

The boy got up first and then helped the blond one up. They slowly started walking toward the tree. He kept looking at Kendall who was following them with the gun. It started to make me wonder. Would Kendall really have shot them if they didn't move.

As Kendall cornered them into the tree Logan and I made our way toward Lucy who was getting up. She didn't look too bad. Her hair was messed up and she had a bruise forming on her cheek but other than that she looked okay.

We all turned to see the couple. Lucy sure knew how to fight. The blonds arms are covered in bruises and I pretty sure her face is also. I can't really tell because she has face buried into the boys shoulder as he held her close.

"Logan I want you to stay here with Lucy while I go get our things like this we can leave these two nut jobs."

I kind of felt bad for them. The blond was crying looking scared out of her mind and the boy's body was shaking uncontrollably as he stood in front of her.

"James Wait!" Logan called out, "Can't we just let them explain themselves and maybe we could all travel together?"

"Logan are you crazy!" Lucy yelled, "Do you not remember what happened a couple of minutes ago? Those people over there could have killed us and you want them to travel with us are you out of your mind."

"Lucy is right. We can't just let them join us after what happened." James said backing Lucy up.

"I know what just happened but if they really wanted to kill us they would have. Lets just give them a chance so they can at least explain themselves."

"Fine they can explain themselves only because they look so pathetic right now ," I started, "But that doesn't mean that they are going to start traveling with us."

"That's all I ask for. Now come on lets go get Kendall to put that gun down."

We started making our ways toward them. The girl was barely standing the only thing that was holding her up was the boys hold on her.

"Alright Kendall put the gun down and let them explain themselves." Logan said.

"Are you sure about this Logan?"

"Yes and really what harm can they do now we have their weapons and just look at them." Logan said pointing at the pair and he did have a point. Lucy messed up the girl pretty bad and the helmet wearing boy and I were about even.

Kendall put the gun down but the boy still send tense and ready to attack if one of us did something.

"What are you going to do to us?" He asked.

"What was the whole point of you two doing all of this?" Logan asked them.

The boy turned his head back a bit to look at the blonds face. They started to whisper to each other and then the blond nodded her head before the boy turned around to face us. We all looked at him with a confused expression when we saw them sit down right next to the tree.

"Well do want to know why we did it or not?" We all looked at him before we slowly started to nod. "Well why don't you still down so I can start?"

"How do we know this isn't some sort of trick or something?" I asked

"First you took our weapons. Second Jo is hurt I won't leave her side until she gets better." He did have a point. I looked at the others and we all nodded before sitting down in front of the pair.

"So I'll start off by introducing ourselves. My names is Carlos Garcia and this is my little sister Jo Taylor."

"Wait how are you two related if she's white and you looked hispanic?" I asked. Carlos just looked at me with a blank face.

"Let me tell you the story of how we met and how we ended up here" He started. " It all started eight years ago when I was ten..."

Flashback Carlos POV

I was running. The only thing I could see were the blurs of people, cars and buildings as I ran past them. I turned my head back to see if the men were still chasing me or if i had finally lost them. They were gone. I started to slow down as I made my way to the alley where my box was. I looked down at my hands to see the oranges I had taken from the men at the market. I smiled knowing I had something to eat tonight.

I was just about to turn into my alley when I saw something strange going on. I hid behind the trash cans.

"Mommy!MOMMY!No! Please don't leave me here I promise I'll be a good girl!"

"You ungrateful little brat I told you this was gonna happen if you didn't do all your chores!" What that didn't make any sense how can that lady just leave her daughter out in the streets just because she didn't do her chores?

"Mommy I promise to never play again and only do my chores. just please don't leave me!" she was crying hysterically by that time not wanting to leave her mommy. The woman simply carried the child onto the sidewalk and left her there crying as she drove off.

"Hey, do you need somewhere to stay?" I asked as I made my way toward her.

She didn't say anything just nodded her head as she continued to cry. I slowly made my way toward the broken girl. She was covered in bruises and scars. I felt my heart breaking at the sight of her. I looked down at my hands and saw the two oranges I had. When I was close enough I handed her one.

"Thank you" she whispered, "for being so nice to me." I smiled at her.

"Your welcome my name is Carlos by the way. What's yours?

"My name is Josephine but you can call me Jo."

"Do you want to come and live with me?" I asked.

"What if mommy comes back and starts looking for me?"

"Well my house is in that alley right there" I said pointing to the alley that was a couple of feet away, "So if your mommy comes looking for you, you won't be far away. How does that sound?"

"Okay I guess."

" Carlos aren't you afraid to of living here?" Jo asked once she saw my "house" which was really a small cardboard box.

"Not really I've been living here since I was five after my dad died. Then my mommy said that we had to leave the house 'cause they were taking it away from us. One night two years ago she left to her night job and never came back. I've been here waiting for her to come back. Its a good thing that Dak watches after me to make sure bad guys don't get me." I said the last part with a smile.

"Carlos do think our mommys will come back for us someday?"

"I don't know. Maybe. I hope they do."

End of flashback and Carlos POV

"That's how Jo and I met and we have been together ever since living in the streets."

Now that I knew their I felt bad for them, but that still doesn't change the fact that they wanted to kill us.

"You guys do know that the gun had no bullets so we couldn't harm him using that we were hoping it would have scared you guys of so we could keep the food." Carlos stated.

"He's right guys the gun has nothing in it." Kendall said after he checked the gun.

"You have to be kidding me!" Lucy screamed out. "This whole time I thought I was was going to die and there was nothing in that stupid gun!"

"Lucy please stop screaming." Logan said.

I turned to look at Carlos and Jo only to see Jo slapping Carlos at the back of the head.

"You had me so scared hold when you told to hold the gun and look where that go me. Damn it Carlos I got beat up for no reason!" She yelled at him.

"I was going to help you but pretty boy over just had to jump up."

"You were the one holding a knife on my how do you expect me to react you asshole."

"HEY! Everyone lets just calm the fuck down!" Kendall yelled out. "Its late all we all had a rough night. You two will stay here while we go and get our bag. We are gonna stay on the other side of the tree and we are ALL going to rest and figure out what to do in the morning! Do I make myself clear?"

We all just looked at him.

"I said DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!"

"Yes, sir." We all said in unison to scared to go against him.
