A/N: Hey, sorry for the short chappie here! I'll try to make it longer I promise!
Chapter 11- So Now You Know... So NOW You Care?
Scarlett’s POV
I watched as he walked away from me, his arms around Chloe’s waist. My eyes began to burn as hot tears slid down my cheeks. Jason jumped up and ran away from me, while Adam came over to soothe me. “Sorry babe” He said rubbing my back. Screw Xavier. Why do you care so much? You barely know him! I stood up, wiping my tears. Looking at Xavier’s retreating shadow, I growled and turned on my heels.
“I’m skipping the rest of today. You coming?” Adam nodded his head and handed me my backpack from the cafeteria. I walked over to the school walls with Adam following behind me like a lost puppy. “Up!” He boosted me up and I lifted myself over the walls. Reaching down, I pulled him up on the wall and jumped over onto my motor-bike. What a coincidence. Not. Starting the engine, I drove away as fast as I could the moment I felt Adam behind me.
Xavier’s POV
Flipping over the wall, I too, dropped on to my dual sport bike, chasing after the blob in the distance. After a five minutes ride, she stopped in front of a dark alley, and turned to Adam, whispering something in his ear. Adam nodded and quickly jumped off, scampering away as fast as he could. I parked my bike a block away from hers, while keeping her in my eyesight. I quickly ran after her when she disappeared into the dark alleyway, making my heart fill with dread. Oh no. “Hey pretty face, what’s a gurl like ya doin’ here?” I heard a guy ask. Clenching my fist, I closed my eyes and took deep breaths.
“Don’t you mess with me old man.” I opened my eyes and watched as she pulled out a knife. ‘Don’t do anything stupid!’ Silently, I prayed in my head as I watched her walk towards him. With an blink of the eye, she was surrounded by gangsters. Jumping out of my hiding place, I clenched my fists.
“Touch her and you die!” I screamed at them, blood boiling in my veins. They quirked their eyebrows at me, as if saying, ‘who’s going to stop me?’ They all charged at me, letting out a battle cry as they began to swing their bats. My killer instincts overcame me, and quickly overcoming any emotions. Wrenching the knife from the old man, I used it to cut another’s arm as another swung his bat at me. I picked him up and threw him at the rest as I kicked a teenager in the face and pushed him away. Grabbing my gun from the hoop of my pants, I pointed it at them. They all froze and stared at me with wide eyes. 'Hah, they look like deers in headlights' I thought to myself, smirking.
The moment the old man reached for his pockets, I knew he had a gun. Without even blinking, I shot him between the eyes and aimed for another as he fell. They all scattered and left Scarlett along on the ground, crying her eyes out. “Shh…shhh..” I whispered to her softly, walking towards her. She tensed up as I cradled her in my arms, afraid of the gangsters.
‘No,’ my consciencea tinyvoice in my head toldme. ‘Afraid... Afraid of you.’

Corny joke of the chapter! (yay!)
Another parrot joke... =]
A man walked into a pet store, wanting to buy a pet parrot. Looking around, one instantly caught his eye. "What can this one do?" He asked the store manager.
Grinning, the store manager walked up to him and said, "watch this!" He pulled the parrots right leg and let go.
The parrot instantly replied, "I'm like, the coolest here."
Then the store manager pulled the left leg and let go. "Get some!" The parrot screamed.
Curious, the man wanted to know what the parrot would say if he pulled both legs. So he pulled on both legs. And the parrot replied, "B*tch! You trying to kill me?"
--I know, I know. Lamest one yet. =( ---
