Kevin made his way into the school, his eyes then fell on Daphne, she wasn't her happy self. Kevin walked over to the girl, "Hey you!" Kevin let out, trying to get her to talk to him. Daphne turned around, "What do you want?" Daphne asked the boy. "Look I'm sorry about what I did the other day, but I was with my friends" Kevin told the girl. "Yeah okay I get that, but Kevin that's a gang" Daphne told the boy. "I know but Daphne I have to do this...it makes me feel like I'm alive" Kevin finished. "Well until you come to your senses about this relationship, I no longer want to talk to you or see you" Daphne said as she made her way from the scene.

Liam eased his way into the therapy, he then saw Vicky talking with a girl in a wheel chair. Liam made his way to the group of girls on crutches and a guy that was laying down. "You okay Liam?" one of the girls asked. "Yeah it's just I tried to date Vicky...but" Liam began. "But what?" the same girl asked him. "When I confronted her about her boyfriend she pushed me over" Liam said. "Wait...we tried to protect you from her, we should've told you" another girl spoke. "Told me what?" Liam asked them confused. "Vicky she helps us because she's crazy and she takes her anger out on us" the guy that was laying down said. "How come no one has said anything yet?" Liam asked them. "Because we're scared that she might do something worse if they don't believe the accusations" the girl from earlier said.

Kevin walked up to DJ, "DJ...look man I don't" Kevin began, but became interrupted by DJ's words. "Kev. dude we have a job tonight, we're gonna go hit up the Dragons hideout we gone run these streets" DJ told the boy. "Look man I'm sorry but my mom she raised me better than this and I can't be in a gang, I don't know what I was thinking I just got in over my head" Kevin began. DJ sighed, "I'm sorry to here that man, but you know what they say the only way out of a gang is death" DJ said as he pulled out a gun and held beside him, "And you my boy and I hate to do it to you" DJ stated.

"DJ...think about it man, you have your whole life ahead of you, don't throw it away" Kevin said, trying to reason with the boy. "I think it's a little too late for that" DJ said as he started to slowly raise the gun. Just then Vander Pool touched DJ's shoulder, "Come with me son...I already called your parents, lets go!" Vander Pool told DJ. Just then Daphne rounded the corner. "Daphne?" Kevin asked. But the girl only walked away.

Liam and others made their way up to the nurses, "We need to tell you all something, the volunteer worker Vicky abuses us!" Liam states. The nurse looked at them, "Where is she now?" the nurse asked. "In the room" Liam told them. The nurse walked in to see Vicky yelling at an girl in a wheel chair, "Vicky get over here now!" the nurse shouted. Liam knew his job was done.

Kevin made his way over to Daphne and sat down at the table. Daphne looked at the boy, "I'm sorry" Kevin whispered as Daphne hugged him.
