I wanted to show the letter to the rest but only Lucky and Jason are here. Before I could ask where Nickey is she walks in.

''There was a blonde cop asking for you out on the streets.'' She says a bit out of breath like she had been running.

''That's Stef.'' I say surprised.

''I told her I haven't seen you but the others around here have and they ain't gonna lie for you.''

''I have to get out of here.'' I say and I look around for my stuff.

''Then we come with you.'' Jason says

''Yes, we're not letting you go on your own.'' Lucky adds.

''You really don't have to.'' I say.

''That's what friends are for.'' Nickey says and she puts an arm around me.

We all grab our stuff. We're about to leave when we hear multiple footsteps coming from both sides.

''Ashley?'' I hear Stef say. Jason grabs my arm and drags me towards the nearest door. Nicky and Lucky go to the other exit. When we get to the door we see two men with guns. They shoot at us and we duck behind a container just in time. I hear footsteps behind me and I see Stef with her gun in her hands. She quickly takes a step back as bullets fly her way. She manages to dodge them.

''Police drop the guns.'' Stef screams. Jason and I are both still behind the container. I can feel the adrenaline rushing through my body. The men take a step back as well when Stef starts shooting back.

''You're on your own and there's two of us.'' One of the men screams back and fires another round at Stef.

''Back up is on the way.'' Stef says and she fires at them again. I hear sirens coming and I squeeze Jason's hand. I whisper my plan in his ear and as soon as Stef shoots at the men Jason and I crawl to Stef. Jason runs to the front door.

''Thank you, but don't look for me. I don't want you getting hurt.'' I quickly say to Stef and then run after Jason. I can hear Stef saying my name but I keep going. I can see police cars at the end of the streets. Jason and I run until we see Nickey and Lucky.

''You good?'' Nickey asks us.

''Yeah we're good.'' Jason says catching his breath.

''We have to get out of h-'' I start saying. The next second feels like the world has stop around me. I feel blood spatters on my face and a sharp pain in my shoulder. Lucky falls forward on top of me. The bullet went through his arm into my shoulder. We both get pulled up by Nickey and Jason and we start running. I look behind me and see one of the men running after us, followed by Stef and a few other cops. The pain in my shoulder is unbearable but I keep running. After a while we're pretty sure we lost them and we sit down on the ground.

''You two need to get to a hospital.'' Nickey says as she looks at our wounds.

'''Just fix it up.'' I say as I hand her some things that might help.

''Alright.'' She tries to fix the both of us up. When she's done we all sit for a while. Trying to process what just happened.

''I'm sorry.'' I say to Lucky.

''No worries Princess, I'll be fine.'' He tells me but I can see the pain written on his face. He has lost blood so I give him a bottle of water to drink.

As we wander through the streets I get the letter from my pocket and show them.

''This is what I wanted to show you before all of this happened. I got this today.'' I say.

Jason takes the letter and reads it.

''This is sick. You have to go to the cops.'' Jason tries to convince me. I want to tell him I'm not going to but before I can, I see Lucky passing out in the corner of my eye.

''Lucky!'' Nickey says and she rushes to his side. I take out my phone and decide to call 911. When I hear sirens coming I grab my bag and run away. Nicky and Jason both don't realize it. I don't want to leave Lucky behind but I can't talk to the cops. I walk down the streets and see the sun coming up.

A/n: Review if you liked it, I hope you did. I'll try to update asap. x
