• I yawned as me and Tyler walked out of the resturaunt. Tyler looks tired too so I suggested that we go to where Tyler is staying since I have to stay there myself. Tyler froze when I said that.

    "What's up?" I asked. "We can't go?"

    "Uhhhhhh, not rly." Tyler laughed. I frowned when he tried to smile. Something's up. "Oh hey, I can show you where mom is."

    I could feel my eyes grow smaller. My mom? But isn't she . . . . I rushed to Tyler and gave him a hug. I heard him gasp but then sigh. He forced my hands to let go and put my helmet on my head. I sighed but then smiled. I hopped onto his bike and we went out of town. I got confused, wasn't the graveyard at the other end of the town? Why are we going out of town?

    We stopped at a cliff. I took off my helemt and looked around. I walked to the edge of cliff. You could see the whole town from here. It's amazing. I was about to drag Tyler to see this but he had his back to me; leaning down over something. I walked over to see a makeshift grave.

    "So this is here mom is." I smiled. I leaned down oer the grave and smiled again. "Hi, mom."

    "Hey Tyler!" I turn my head but Tyler pushed me into the bushes and got up; very gitty. I don't know any other word that I can think of right now. I stay put as I listened in on what they are talking about.

    "Uhhhh, hey Steve." Tyler laughed nervously. I wonder who he is. "So,uhhhhhhh, are you going home? I want to stay here for a little while."

    "Actually I'm here to get you." Wow, his voice is really deep. Possibliy deeper then Tyler's. "We have a gang fight at midnight and guess what, David is going to be there."

    "Oh great." Tyler groaned. "Not him. Why him."

    "I dont know, maybe it's because you guys are arch rivals." The other person said. Gang fight? Is Tyler in a gang? I became speechless. "So come to . . . . ."
    I couldn't hear what he said after that. After I heard footsteps walking away from me, I got up and frowned. Tyler moves the bushes away with a stupid smile on his face.

    "You're in a gang?" I grolwed.

    "Now, I can explain, Crystal." Tyler started. " . . . . . . . . how do I say this?"

    'You're in a gang." I stood up and marched right to his face. "Is that the reason why you won't let me ever come over? Even though mom's funeral was held in this town? And is that the reason why you've been dating so many girls?"

    "Now wait a minute, since when did I dated "many" girls?" Tyler asked. "Now will you shut up and listen?"

    I laughed darkly. "Yeah, no!"

    "Crystal, I'm trying to explain to you how this came to be but I need you to calm down." I sighed and leaned against Tyler's bike. "You see, it was summer and it was hot. So I decided to take a dip, in someone else's pool. And uhhhh, this guy named david really hated me so he took my clothes and all I had was . . . "

    I covered his mouth. "Continue."

    "But the guy who owns the house was, uhhhhh, my boss." Tyler gulped.

    "Let me guess." I cleared my throat. "He let you borrow some clothes and you stalked him ever since."

    "Yeah, thats pretty much it." Tyler smiled.

    "Do I really want to know that my older brother is a stalker?!" I yelled. But then I sighed. 'So you got to fight?"

    "Uhhhhhhh, yeah." Tyler sighed. "If I don't the David guy will post pictures everywhere of me in my birthday suit."

    "How did he . . ." I groaned. "Never mind, I don't even want to know. So like where do I sleep? I'm getting tired."

    "You can sleep on my lap like the cute little sister you are." Tyler smiled pervertly. I don't care if that is a word or not, that's how I decribe his smile.

    "No." Tyler began to cry crocidile tears. I yawned loudly and then I hoppedonto his bike. "Can you take me to where you live? I might as well crash where you are."

    Tyler began to panic.

    "Uhhhhh how about a nice hotel until you can live with me?"

    "Nope, I don't have the money to stay at a hotel."

    "I'll find you a place."

    "With you being in a gang and all, I bet no one would even look at us."

    "You got a point there. How about a friend's house?"

    "How can I have friends when I've never been here my whole life until now?"

    "Uhhhh, how about . . .

    "Nope."

    And we debated until evenutally, I won. So Tyler, slowly but surely, took me to where he was living. It was a big house about 3 stories high. It gave that whole decayed look but it's not decayed. A huge metal fence with a brick wall surrounded the whole place, with miles of ivy coursing through. I don't know why Tyler didn't want to bring me here, because this is a beautiful house. Beore I could turn around and ask, Tyler pushed me intp a tight alleyway when . . . one . . .two . . . six guys came through the door. Tyler hurried over to them. I listned in on what they were saying.

    "Hey guys!" Tyler shouted. "Sorry I'm late."

    "Where were you?" someone asked. Are they all guys? It's so dar that I can't tell. "Hurry up and get your gear so we can get out of here. Steve already filled you in right?"

    "Yeah." Tyler said nervously. Sheesh, Ty calm down will you? "But, uhhhhhh, I never got where we're going."

    "What's up, you look nervous." Wait, is that a little kid? It sounds like one but I can't tell; his voice is very quiet. "Did you bring in another strange animal again?"

    "Uhhhhhhh, well."

    My hearing became very blurry after that.

    "You know . . . . . . can't bring . . . . . strange animals . . . ." Strange animal? Is that what I am? Whoever said that is dead. "No matter how cute . . . . ."

    "But you don't understand . . ." Tyler said nervously. I wish he can read minds. "This . . . . animal . . . . is . . . ."

    "Just hurry up and get ready, Ty." Oh wow, that guy sounds like a hot anime character. I wonder if that's possible. His voice is so clear I can hear everything he's saying. "Meet us at the bridge in about 20 minutes. We'll go from there."

    After some roar of engines and distant chants, I cawled out of the tiny alleyway. But when I did, Tyler's face was in front of mine. I squeeled. Tyler laughed.

    "Nice, you really are a girl, you know that?" Tyler helped me up from the ground.

    "Oh, gee, it took you sixteen years to see that." I growled. I got up and dusted myself off. Tyler got my bags from his bike and went inside the house. I called inside to him. "Do I just walk inside?"

    "Pretty much, this is where you will be living." Tyler shouted back. Right when I entered the house I heard Tyler say "in secert."

    "Those guys who just left don't realize I'm here right?" I frowned. Tyler did a spit take on me. I groaned.

    "How did you know?" Why should Tyler act surprised?

    "I got sensitive hearing remember?" I reminded. I felt tired so I dragged my feet upstairs. I wonder which one is his room. I went to the right of the stairs and came to the last door. "Is this you're room?"

    "NOT THAT ONE!" Tyler yelled. I'm guessing that's the boss's room. "The door in front of the stairs. That's my room."

    After I dragged myself to his room and Tyler went off, I went to sleep.
