"So your brother's friends are interesting," Trey commented on the way to the party.

"Yeah there a lot of fun," I starred out the window.

"Are they there a lot?" he asked.

"Trey they all live there, I've told you this, don't you listen to me?" I asked, "You know what don't talk to me." and he didn't for the rest of the ride We arrived at the party about ten minutes later, I got out the car, walked in Trey's friend Mark house, grabbed a beer and sat on the couch where I planned to sit the rest of the night. Trey wanted to be a jerk he could be a jerk, but I wasn't going to hang around him. Two hours and three beers later I was bored, I wanted to go home so I figured I'd go find Trey and get him to take me home. 'Trey I want to go home," I said after 15 minutes of looking for him.

"No, let's go upstairs," Trey put his hands in his pocket and pulled out a blade. He held to my side. I looked around hoping to see someone who would help me, but everyone around was drunk and dancing. I figured if I screamed nobody would here me over the music. He pushed me up the stairs into a bedroom. He closed the door and slammed me against it and held the knife to my throat. "Now let's have a little fun." He pushed down on the bed, still holding the knife to my throat. I wanted to scream, I wanted run, but my mouth was dry and my legs were limp. I was afraid to move because I didn't want him to cut me. I knew he'd kill me. All of a sudden the door flew open. When it did it must have startled Trey because the knife slipped and cut the back of next.

"Get off of her," I heard an unfamiliar yell, "Trey now!" Whoever it was pushed Trey off of me. It was Brooke, Trey's ex-girlfriend. She helped me up and helped me out the door. "Come on Alexia, I'll take you home. Trey don't try and stop us or I will kill you." She laughed and pulled a knife out of her pocket. "Stay away from her and stay away from me. She led me the house, to a blue Honda Civic.

"I'm sorry, if I'm a hassle, you probably wanted to stay at the party," I cried on the way home.

"Please girl, that party is lame," Brooke said as we pulled up to my house, "well it looks like your having a party too." I looked at the house, music was blaring and I could see the shadows of people dancing in the window.

"Great everybody's home," I put make-up on my tear stained face. "Listen thanks, you didn't have to do that for me."

"Yes I did, Trey used to beat me and he raped me once. I couldn't wait to graduate to get away from him. The only reason I came to the party tonight was because I found out he was dating you and I wanted to make sure he wasn't hurting you the way he hurt me. Nobody should have to go though that, plus I know your brother wouldn't want that." Brooke answered.

"You know my brother?" I asked slightly confused. I looked in the mirror at the cut on my neck hoping it wasn't very noticeable.

"I know of him, isn't he like king of the L.A. streets?" Brooke asked sorta sarcastically.

"Yeah something like that," I laughed slightly. I hoped that Brooke wasn't just some racer chaser who wanted to get in with my brother, because nobody was going to get between him and Letty.

"Let me see you neck," I lifted my brown hair up and showed her the cut, "It's not bleeding too bad, I think it will be ok. I think I have a bandage around here somewhere." She looked in her center compartment finding a band-aid and put it on my neck.

"Thanks, why don't you come in and party, these parties are the real thing," I got out of the car, "you've been great tonight, you've been a real friend. I didn't even know girls could be friends, so just come in and have a good time."

"Ok I think, I will," Brooke agreed, "Thanks." We walked into the house to see a bunch of people dancing and drinking. I grabbed a beer, handed one to Brooke, and I walked around the house hoping to see a familiar face. Finally I spotted Tej and Rome sitting on the couch and Leon playing play station 2 on the floor.

"Tej, Rome!" I screeched.

"Hey baby doll, come sit down," Tej said and I walked over and sat on his lap.

'Hey make room for my new friend Brooke," I said motioning for Rome to slide over and Brooke to sit next to him. "Jesse, get a room!" Jesse was sitting in the corner making out with some girl.

"We share a room," he stated. Everybody has to share a room in the house because there's only five. Because Mia share with Brian and because Jesse's the second youngest we share.

"Its cool man," Tej said, "she can sleep in my room." That's all Jesse needed to hear so he grabbed the girl's hand and ran upstairs with her.

'Dom win?" I asked. I knew he did but I was trying to make conversation, so I could stop thinking about Trey.

'Doesn't he always? I've been around for a year and I've never seen that boy loose," Rome said as he watched Leon play the game.

"See king of the streets," I told Brooke making her laugh. "So where are Dom and Mia?"

"Dom's upstairs with Letty and Mia and Brian went out somewhere," Tej answered

"Hell yeah baby," I said already tipsy from the beer I had at the other party. Dom wouldn't care if I drank, but he would watch me close. I wanted to get wasted; I didn't want a baby sitter, "Get me some Jack Daniels and coke, or better yet I'll get it myself." I got up and stumbled around in the kitchen I poured the Jake Daniels in two cups taking a couple of swigs in between. I poured the soda in and took the glasses into the living room. I handed one to Brooke and started drinking mine. Before I knew it I was done and doing shots of everything we had, mostly vodka. I was to drinking, but had never drank this much before. I'm surprised no one tried to cut me off, but I don't think anyone was really paying attention. I got up and started dancing with random guys, whoever was around.

"What the hell is going on here?" I heard Dom's voice boom, which made me giggle. "Everybody out now." I looked at Dom to see him dressed in a pair of pants with no shirt on. The people left, the only ones left in the living room were Leon, Tej, Rome, Brooke, Dom and I. "Go to your rooms, my sister and I need to talk."

"What?" I asked, the alcohol was starting to get to me and my head was spinning. Everyone had left the room. I'm not sure where Brooke went probably with Leon because they seemed to be getting along.

"What the fuck are you doing acting like a slut? How much alcohol did you drink?" Dom grabbed my arm and dragged me upstairs to my room.

"I can't go in there, Jesse's got a girl in there. I ain't sleeping in that bed till those sheets are changed," I slurred.

"We got to get you your own room," Dom mumbled as I saw Tej step into the hallway.

'Dom, she's can sleep in Rome and my room," he told my brother.

'Fine," Dom sighed. I figured it was because he didn't want me to have to sleep in his room with Letty and him, not like I would want to. "But our conversation isn't over. We'll talk about this tomorrow." Dom walked back into his room leaving Tej and me alone.

"How much did you drink?" he asked as we walked to the basement where his room was.

"I lost count," I mumbled, I was tired and having trouble keeping my eyes open. As soon as I saw his bed I fell down on it and rolled up into a ball. "Where's Brooke?"

'I think she's staying with Leon, she was too drunk to drive," Tej told me crawling in bed next to me.

"Thanks for letting me sleep here," I mumbled before falling asleep.

"I'm going to kill you," Trey said, "You should have never told anyone I threatened you."

"No, don't hit me no," Trey took out a knife and held it to my throat, "No. no don't kill me!"

"Alexia, wake up, baby doll get up," Tej said shaking me. I sat straight up.

"He's was going to kill me," I cried.

"It was only a dream. Who was going to kill you?" Tej asked worried.

"No one, nothing, never mind," I said trying to shake my dream. "I just want to back to sleep." I laid on Tej chest and he played with my hair till I fell asleep. I know people would think it was weird, me sleeping in the same bed as a 25 year old, but the guys are like my brothers, and they just try to take care of me.

A/N- I worked really hard on this chapter so I hope it was better than the first. I didn't get to many reviews for the first chapter, hopefully I'll get more for this one. Thanks to everyone who did review though. I will be updating One Better World soon too. Cheer's helping me with the next chapter so it may be a little while till we can connect and talk about our ideas, but I promise it won't be too much longer!
