Jack's P.O.V
"Hey how you doing," I said to the clerk as I placed a juice on the counter. "And can I have thirty on four please." I said now taking out my wallet.
"Your total is thirty one dollars and sixty four cents."
I handed her two twenties, grabbed my juice and started to walk away when she called out to me.
"Don't you want your change?" She said holding up a five and some ones.
"Oh yea," I said as I walked back to the counter to retrieve my change.
"Your Jack right," she asked with a smile.
"Yea who wants to know?"
"I would love to know." She said taking one of the singles writing something down on it. "Here take this and make sure you keep up with it."
I took my change and looked at the dollar she had written on.
Give me call

Kai
"What makes you so interested in getting to know me?"
"I have an eye for the finer things in life and I just so happen to have eyes for you."
Another customer approached the counter and she began to ring them up. I looked over at her and couldn't help but admire her, she was beautiful. Her skin was naturally tan, her hair was as dark as night, her smile was as fresh as day. And she had the most precious eyes. I looked at my watch and notice I was pressed for time. I waited on the lady to leave before I approached the counter again.
"I have to get going but I will be in touch."
"I know you will, I'll be waiting." I walked out the gas station as I threw my juice through the rolled down window of my black Ferrari. I then proceeded to pump my gas when I notice the black Honda civic parked at the gas station across the street. To the untrained eye this wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary, but I've notice that the car pulled up right around the same time I did. And no one had gotten out the car before I went into the gas station. I was in the gas station for about ten minutes deciding on what juice to get and talking to the girl Kai. So who ever was in the car should have been gone by now or at least pulling off. I finished pumping my gas as I open the door to my car, but still not taking my eyes off the Honda civic.
I looked around for my juice that I found upside down in the passenger seat. I grabbed it and twist the cap till I felt the seal broke. I took a sip from the bottle and still the Honda didn't move. That's when I notice my glove compartment was slightly open. Panic shot up through my body, someone had been in my car. I open the glove compartment where I found several explosives that weren't active. I then looked up to find the Honda gone. Someone wanted me dead by any means necessary and whoever the person was; was in that car.
Ricky P.O.V
A couple of weeks had gone by since I had returned home and I manage to make everything return to normal or as normal as they can get. Piper had been back to her daily routine of shopping and being oblivious to the situation. Over the weeks Amy store came together, we were finally able to get it up and running and the business was crazy. I was proud of her. I loved the fact that she set goals for herself and actually acted on them. Even though I bought her the store she did everything else herself. She worked night and day to get the store how she wanted it while still going to school and still attempting to work her part time job at Forever 21. I finally convinced her to put in her two week notice when she saw how good the store was doing.
I was currently at the club where me and the guys held are meetings. I was pacing the floor back and forth when I decided to pour me a glass of scotch. I than looked at my watch once more and was starting to feel uneasy about the situation. Both Ben and Jack was late, neither one of us was ever late for a meeting. Something was up; I took out my phone to dial Jack's number when I heard the echo from the door shutting. I waited at the bar till I seen Jack turning the corner and walking towards me.
"What the fuck man?" I said with my hands raised.
"Man someone placed a bomb in my car."
"What?" I asked unclear of what I just heard.
"Somebody tried to kill me."
"This just happen," I asked taking a sip from my glass.
"Yea man I was at the gas station and before I went in I notice a black Honda civic pulling into the gas station across the street. I than went in the gas station for about ten minutes, when I came back out I still notice the car parked at a pump but still I didn't see anyone get in the car or get out the car. I pumped the gas got in the car took a sip from my juice and notice my glove compartment was slightly open, I opened it and there it was non active." He said now pacing the floor.
"So you said you were in the gas station for ten minutes so that gives them a little bit of time but not much, I'm guessing they saw you coming out the gas station, ran out of time so they wasn't able to put the bomb in effect. The plan was for you to start the car and the bomb would have gone off."
"Exactly, man I'm nervous as hell because I don't know who it is.
"It's Mike
"Why would Mike want to take me out, he knows nothing about our plan."
"Just like we have plans for him he has plans for us. Before we opened up Blue Madonna, Eye Catcher was bringing in over a million a night. Now it's more like fifty grand a night."
"So you think he's trying to take us out."
"Yea one by one, where becoming too big for him. And since we turned down that business offer of joining forces, he has no other choice."
Just then Ben entered the room shoving a taco into his mouth.
"Man where have you been?" I asked sitting my glass down on the top of the bar.
"What I was just at taco bell."
"Taco Bell, we had a meeting and you're at Taco Bell."
"Um yea I was hungry, I wanted a taco I didn't know they were going to take that long, the line was wrapped around the building. I just really was craving for tacos; you don't think the saying is true when you have someone pregnant you start having pregnancy symptoms too?"
Jack and I both just looked at Ben not knowing what to say.
"While you're working out your pregnancy symptoms I almost got killed today." Jack said.
"Are you serious man?" He asked placing his Taco Bell bag on the counter.
"Yea," Jack said telling the story to Ben all over again.
"So you think it was Mike Ricky?" Ben asked.
"I know it is."
"So what do you want to do, stick to our regular plan?" Jack asked
"Yea but were going to speed it up, I don't want him getting any more opportunities. Till then we have to be on our game, watching everything and everyone including the people we love the most." I said glancing at Ben.
Kai P.O.V
I was looking at his car bracing myself for an explosion but there wasn't any; he just simply pulled out the parking lot. I guess you can say Mike's planned back fired. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I didn't know Jack but I knew I didn't want him killed. Unlike my brother I had a heart and I had no desire to be a part of his lifestyle. I don't even know why I agreed with this anyway but I needed extra cash and the only way I could get it was through Mike. He said if I went through with the plan of keeping Jack distracted while he placed the bomb in the car I would have whatever I wanted. I wasn't eligible for financial aid anymore and I had no money to pay for my next semester of classes. So at the time it sounding like a good plan but now I'm realizing it was a big mistake.
I heard my phone ringing and before I even looked at my phone I knew who it was.
"Hello," I said answering my phone.
"You were supposed to distract him," Mike said yelling in the phone.
"I did the best I can do, I'm sorry your guys weren't quick enough."
"Ha ok well I'm sorry about school Kai, I don't think I will be able to help you."
"You never want to see anybody do better than you, you like to cripple people to depend on you. But that's ok I don't want your money anyway. Sorry for even asking." With that I hung up my phone and decided to get back to work. The gas station wasn't where I wanted to be but it's getting me by for the time being. When life gives you lemons you just have to make lemonade.
Piper P.O.V
"Hi Piper I'm sorry for taking so long," Dr. Plymel said as she entered the room.
"That's fine," I said with a nervous smile as she open the yellow folder and took off her glasses.
"I have some bad news for you," She said looking at me with some concern.
"What?" I asked.
"I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this but Piper you are not pregnant."
I felt my heart stop; I couldn't believe this it had to be some kind of mistake.
"No that's not right I took the test at home it said I was pregnant, I haven't had my period and all the signs show that I'm pregnant." I said shaking my head back and forth trying to hold back the tears.
"I know this is hard for you to hear but we ran many test and it was confirmed through your ultrasound, you're not pregnant."
I stared at the white plastered floor; I didn't know what to think my heart was crushed.
"And I'm sorry but I have some more bad news for you?"
"Go right ahead it couldn't get any worse than this."
"Well we found out also through your test that you're infertile."
"What does that mean?" I asked knowing she's not telling me what I think she's telling me.
"You're unable to have children."
"What," I said with tears in my eyes.
"You had an abortion in 2011 of April last year right?" She asked as I shook my head in agreeing.
"Well during the abortion we saw through your ultrasound that one of your fallopian tubes were damage, meaning you will never be able to carry a child, I'm sorry."
She said standing up "I'm going to give you a moment." With that she walked out the room leaving me alone with my thoughts. I wipe the tears that flowed down my face as I tried to find someone to blame, but there was no one but myself. Last April I had found out I was pregnant, Ricky was real excited and wanted the baby but I wasn't. I didn't want kids this early on in life so I made the choice to get an abortion. I told him I miscarried and he was a wreck, I felt bad for what I did but never did I regret it till now.
