Hey everyone! I haven't updated in a really long time! I'm very sorry. I didn't really have faith in this story but I decided to give it another shot! I've gotten better at writing and I promise it'll be longer this time! So here goes….

When She Came: Chapter 5:

Ren's POV:

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Let me go Ace!"

"No!" Ace laughed. "You know I can knock you out in one shot, right? And if you say one more word, I will."

"One word," I said. "I'm sorry. I've gotta say three. Go….screw.…yourself"

It all happened so fast. In two seconds, Ace hit me and everything went black.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

I slowly opened my eyes and I was staring directly into Chris' eyes.

"Ren….are you okay," he asked.

Before I could answer him, the other three were all beside me and all asking questions and the same time.

"Okay, okay! Hold it people! One at a time," I said as I sat up.

Now they all stared back at me waiting for me to say something.

"I'm fine. My head hurts but other than that I'm okay. I'm just a little confused here. How did I end up in the tree house? The last I remembered was being hit in the face and blacking out. Anyone care to fill me in or am I gonna have to guess?."

"We had to carry you up here," Gordie explained. "Not to mention that Teddy almost dropped you a couple times."

"What?."

I punched Teddy on the arm and called him an asshole.

"Well it wasn't my fault! You're not exactly a feather!"

"Shut-up Teddy!"

After a couple more minutes of playfully fighting, we decided to play cards. Actually, the boys played cards. I just watched and made fun of them when they lost. We had lost track of time and it was getting late.

"Hey Gordie! What time is it," I asked.

"Uh….it's about…..10:00."

Chris did a double take.

"Oh shit, man," he said. "I really gotta go."

He hurriedly climbed down the ladder and started to walk off. I followed him.

"Hey Chris! Wait up! I'll walk with you!."

He was walking fast but I eventually caught up with him.

"Chris….what's the hurry," I asked.

He turned around to look at me.

"My dad's home."

I didn't ask any more questions. I already knew everything. Gordie had told me when I asked why Chris always had cuts and stuff. It was really sad and I felt sorry for him.

"You could stay at my house," I offered.

"No," he said. "It won't only be worse later. Thanks anyway."

He kissed me quickly and walked toward his house. I stood there and watched him go in. I felt really sorry for him. I wished there was something I could do. But then I saw Ace's car in the driveway and I knew I had my own problems to deal with.

"Oh great. This should make my day complete."

I opened the door and walked in. The house was quiet. It was too quiet for my liking.

"What the hell is going on," I asked myself.

I walked around the house slowly and all of a sudden Ace came out of now where causing me to jump.

"Jesus Ace! Don't do that!."

He laughed and went to sit down on the couch. It was quiet. I jumped when I heard something crash and then a person screaming. I went cold inside when I realized that the sounds were coming from Chris' house. Ace saw my face and laughed.

"Sounds like you're little boyfriend is having a good time," he said and laughed.

"Shut-up, Ace. It isn't funny. I'm going over there right now."

I started walking out the door but Ace grabbed my arm and dragged me back inside.

"LET GO OF ME! LET GO OF ME!"

I was screaming and trying to get away but eventually I realized that I couldn't so I stopped so Ace would let go of me. I started walking up the stairs to go to my room.

"You are not going anywhere," he said. "The little idiot deserves whatever he gets. Me and Eyeball already took care of it."

I stopped frozen in mid-step and turned around to look at Ace.

"What do you mean you an Eyeball took care of it," I asked.

Ace smiled.

"Oh it's nothing really. Me and Eyeball might of talked to Chris' father and told him a couple things that he should know about what his son was doing."

I was a little shocked and scared for Chris.

"What? What the hell are you sayin'? What do you mean?."

"I just told you," Ace said. "We told his father that Chris was doing bad things and stuff like that. And now he's paying for it."

I couldn't believe it.

"You asshole!"

I ran the rest of the way to my room and slammed the door. I fell onto my bed and cried myself to sleep.

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

I woke up the next morning to an empty house. Ace must of left to go and hang out with his stupid little snake gang or whatever they're called. After getting dressed quickly, I ran to the door and opened it. Chris was standing there with his finger on the doorbell.

"Hey Chris," I greeted.

"Hey."

I walked out the door in silence. I remembered the night before when I saw the cuts and bruises on his face.

"Are you okay," I asked.

He nodded and assured me he was fine.

"I feel like it's my fault," I said.

Chris stopped and looked at me; his blue eyes shining.

"Why would you think that," he asked.

"It's just……..Ace and Eyeball planned it. Ace told me that they told you're Dad a bunch of lies and shit about you and…..well…..you know what happened."

He nodded and hugged me.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be okay," he said. "Anyway, we're getting together at Vern's today. No one will be there so we'll have the house to ourselves."

"Sounds good," I replied and we walked on the Vern's house.

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

We were having a good time at Vern's house. The boys were playing cards as always and I was watching TV.

"Come play with us, Ren," Teddy said. "I'll face you."

"No thanks Teddy. I'm fine watching TV," I replied. "Besides, it isn't worth facing you because you suck."

This caused the guys to laugh and Teddy to give me the finger which caused me to laugh. Pretty soon we were all play fighting and jumping on each other until the door slammed shut and we heard a voice that we hated.

"Well look what we have here."

We all stopped and looked up. Ace was standing there with all the other Cobras.

"Oh great," I heard Teddy say.

"What are you doing here, Ace," asked Chris.

"You and you're little gang of snakes are not wanted," I added.

Ace laughed and ignored both me and Chris.

"Get out," he said. "The place is ours now."

Chris stood his ground.

"No. Why don't you go somewhere else?."

'"Yeah," I said with the other guys in unison.

Ace smiled.

"Well then I guess we're going to have to make you leave."

Ace and the rest of the cobras walked toward us. We were trapped.
