Chapter 5 - Chapter 4

Jasmine's POV

We arrived at the tattoo shop. I haven't been to one since the beginning of the semester when I did the tattoo on my right forearm. I have 4 tattoos and a belly ring. When I get the gang's tattoo I will have 5 in total.

"You said you have tattoos?" Zack asked me.

"Yeah, haven't you notice them?" I asked amused.

"I wasn't really looking for tattoos." He answered sheepishly.

"Oh really." I smirked amused.

"Yeah you have a nice ass." He whispered and ran off before I could say anything.

"He's right you know." Ashton, Cole and Mason said walking next to me.

"I know." I smirked.

"Anyway. Ashton were you scared when Jasmine and Riley did a wheelie when you were sitting behind Jasmine?" Hunter asked amused.

"Are you kidding me. I almost shit my pants." Ashton stated seriously.

"He held on so tight he almost squeezed the air out of my lungs." I laughed.

''Yeah and when we high fived he almost yelled at Jasmine to drive with both hands on the wheel.'' Riley laughed beside me.

We enter the parlor laughing and when we look up all the guys surrounded us, the girls.

''Can I help you?'' A familiar voice asks.

''Yeah we need our tattoo.'' Carter replied in a cold tone.

''Follow me.'' The voice said. We walked into a room that is away from the rest.

''Man you didn't need to sound so cold.'' The voice stated.

''I had to there were other people.'' Carter shrugged.

''Okay who needs the tattoo?'' The voice asked. Everyone seperated showing me.

''Hi there little lady.'' He smirks.

''Hi there little ET'' I smirk. ET was my nickname for him when we were younger.

''Hi Jazzy.'' He smiled then it hit him what he said.

''Oh my god Jasmine?'' He asked shocked.

''The one and only ET.'' I smile.

''It's been forever Jazzy.'' He smiled and pulled me in for a bone crushing hug.

''C-can't b-breath.'' I tried saying.

''Oh right sorry. You've grown up Jazzy, and damn you got hot.'' Ethan smirked looking me up and down.

''Eyes up here ET.'' I smirked.

''You two know each other?'' Max asked.

''Yeah we used to be neighbors before Ethan moved but we stayed friends in school. After graduation I left for Yale and he stayed here.'' I explained.

''Just friends?'' Cole asked.

''Yeah, we always had that brother-sister thing going on. She was my rock and I was hers. We tried the dating thing but it never worked out so we just stayed friends.'' Ethan explained.

''Yeah we dated for like a week and then we decided to be just friends.'' I explained.

''Oh my god that was funny.'' Ethan laughed. I nodded and laughed with him.

''Small world.'' Carter smiled.

''Yeah. Anyway I want the gangs tattoo. But where do I get it?'' I asked.

''Somewhere that only we can see and when we attack other gangs.'' Mason explained.

''I have mine on my left thigh.'' Emily smiled pulling down the left side of her pants.

''Can't.'' I stated pulling down my left side and showing them my dream catcher.

''Right thigh.'' Max suggested.

''Can't.'' I stated pulling down the right side of my pants revealing my other tattoo. It is little flowers with the words 'you gotta live it to understand it to believe it'.

''I have mine under my left breast.'' Melissa explained shoving up her shirt.

''Can't left or right or middle.'' I explained lifting up my shirt revealing my angel wings under my breasts and a girl in the middle between my breats.

''Right forearm?'' Sam suggested.

''Can't.'' I explained showing them a little lion cub with the words 'remember who you are'.

''Damn nice tattoos Jasmine.'' Everyone breathed out.

''Thanks.'' I smiled.

''How about your lower back just on the top of your ass?'' Zack suggested.

''Like a tramp stamp. No thanks.'' I raised an eyebrow.

''It was just a suggestion.'' Zack defended.

''How about my neck under my hair?'' I asked.

''Yeah like mine.'' Riley smiled lifting up her hair. I nodded in agreement.

''Here come sit Jazzy.'' Ethan explained.

''Gosh the last time I did a tattoo on you was in senior year.'' Ethan stated when he began with my tattoo.

''Yeah and it was my first tattoo on my right thigh.'' I smiled.

''You didn't even flinch the whole time.'' He smiled.

''Yeah you did all the flinching.'' I laughed.

''So you two were close?'' Luke asked.

''Yeah we were.'' We smiled.

''What happened?'' Emily asked.

''Well after graduation when I moved to New Haven to study at Yale we stayed in touch but not that much and then we lost touch." I explained.

"Oh." Was their answer.

"So is your parents still disappointed?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah they are especially my dad cause I didn't want to be the gangs fucking slut. And yesterday before I went to Carter's my dad and Sarah tried to slap me." I gritted out.

"What?" Everyone except those who knew yelled.

"What did you do?" Ethan asked.

"I broke both their noses and punched both of them then walked out saying I'll see them in hell." I shrugged like it's no big deal.

"All done." Ethan smiled taping it closed.

"Thanks." I smiled getting up.

"What did they do after you hit them?" Ethan asked.

"Nothing just stayed on the ground my mom looked shocked and Nicholas hugged me bye." I explained.

''Oh. Can I ask something? How did you end up at Carter's?" Ethan asked.

"Matthew sold Jasmine to me to settle a debt of one of his men." Carter explained.

"He had to choose between me or Sarah and of course Sarah got to stay." I explained.

"So he chose the slut over you who is the best newly graduated doctor here and in the world." Ethan stated dumbfounded.

''Newly graduated doctor? Wait what?" Everyone except those who knew asked.

"Yeah I graduated top off my year and the best student at Yale ever had, Friday actually and came back home yesterday." I explained.

"Wow." They all breathed out.

"Well we have to go. See you around Ethan." Mason explained.

"See you ET." I smiled amd hugged him.

"See you Jazzy." He smiled while hugging me back.

"Hey guys can we make a quick stop at my parents house I have to pick up my bike and car?" I asked and explained.

"Sure." Carter smiled at me.

We all climbed on our bikes. Ashton climbed on behind me and we drove towards the house I used to call home. We got there in under 10 minutes. We stop just when my mom, dad, Sarah and Nicholas came out.

"What are you doing here?" My dad asked me.

"I came to get my bike and car. Got a problem?" I asked with a deadly glare.

"U-uh n-no." My father stuttered out. I walked in and grabbed my keys.

"Hey Ryder wanna drive my car?" I asked.

''Why not me?'' Max asked.

''Cause you're a show off and I trust him to drive my second baby.'' I explained.

''Who's your first?'' Cole asked.

''Probably a child she left with a guy at Yale.'' Sarah smirked.

''Nah sweetie I'm not you.'' I stated looking at Sarah.

''You little-'' Sarah began and lifted her hand just when all of the guys took a step forward and all the girls was beside me in a flash.

''You seriously wanna try that again. How's the nose by the way?'' I asked.

''It's broken.'' Sarah pouted.

''Did daddy kiss it better baby?'' I asked in a baby voice.

''I think daddy's gang kissed it better.'' Riley smirked from beside me.

''Jasmine.'' My father warned.

''What father?'' I asked him. I have never called him father I always called him dad. I did it once before I left when I was extremely furious at him.

''I-I.'' He stuttered.

''Exactly.'' I smirked.

''Here follow me.'' I threw my keys to Ryder and started to walk to my garage. When I opened the door both my car and bike was covered with my black sail thing. I rip them off revealing my baby's. My car is a purple Ford Mustang GT V10 with a white single racing stripe and my bike is a black and purple Kawasaki ZX-10r.

''Damn.'' Ryder let out a low whistle.

''I know.'' I smiled.

''Come on let's go.'' I smirked and climbed on my bike without my helmet on.

''Wait Jasmine. V8 or V6?'' Ryder asked.

''V10.'' I smirk at his shocked face. He climbs in and follows me out. He goes out first while I close the garage.

I heard him rev the engine and a lot of low whistles. Next I drive out and rev my bike. Everybody looks up and all of them look at me in shock and awe. I drive slowly around my parents. Then towards the rest of them. Everyone let out a low whistle when I stop infront of them.

''Damn.'' Everyone breathed out even the girls.

''Come on let's go.'' I smirk and put my helmet on. Ashton climbs back on his bike along with the rest of them. Everyone started driving with us girls in the middle.

I look back at my family only to see my father has pulled out a gun and Nicholas along my mom even Sarah pleading him to stop. The gun is pointed at me. I stopped making my bike screech. I pulled out my gun in my waist band and point it directly at my father. Everyone around me has stopped

Carter's POV

We left Jasmine's house and I saw her in my mirror looking in hers. The next thing we know we heard screeching tires and when I look back Jasmine has a gun out pointing it at her father who has his gun pointed towards her. WTF! When did that happen?

''You sure you wanna do this?'' Jasmine asked her father.

''You have their tattoo. You will join his gang but not your own family's gang?'' Matthew screamed at Jasmine. Her helmet is off now. When did she take it off?

''Yes, cause they don't want me to be the gangs slut, also they didn't kill my best friend and boyfriend and shot me!'' Jasmine screamed.

''It was either you or Sarah and-.'' Matthew started but Jasmine finished.

''And it will always just be Sarah.'' Jasmine stated. She pulled the trigger and next thing we know Matthew was holding his arm and screaming in pain. Nicholas looked at Jasmine and nodded with a knowing look. Jasmine nodded back and put her gun away in her waist band. She started her bike so did we and we all started driving back.

She just shot her own father and didn't even blink. But what did she mean he killed her best friend and boyfriend and even shot her? And he chose Sarah again. When I look up Jasmine and the girls shared knowing looks.

They began revving and we made way for them. All of them sped up and did a wheelie. Jasmine did a handstand and winked at all of us before she took her seat again and landed the wheelie. They drove in front of us the whole ride home.

She's definitely something else. And I can't help but feel different around her. She always lightens the room when she walks in. Her laugh sounds like an Angel laughing. She makes me feel things that I never felt before and that scares the shit out of me but also makes me want it more.

When we arrive at the gang house everyone disappeared their own way. The girls and Jasmine went to the kitchen. When I walked in all of them was sitting there with oreo ice cream just then the rest of the boys came in and also took seats and ice cream, I did the same and sat down.

''Jasmine what happened back there?'' Emily asked her.

''Well I was looking in my mirror and I noticed my father holding his gun up pointing it directly at me.'' Jasmine explained.

''And when you said he killed your best friend and boyfriend and shot you?'' Hunter asked.

''It was at the end of second semester of my senior year when me and my Best Friend Aria went to my house after school. We've known each other since we were juniors and just clicked. Anyway when we got to my house my father grabbed her and pulled her to the basement. When I got down there my boyfriend for almost 3 years Scott was already there. My father said he had no choice and it was either the people I loved or Sarah's,of course he chose mine. I was tied to a chair in front of them by some members of my father's gang. I pleaded and screamed for help and him to stop but he didn't. He shot Scott first then Aria right in front of me when I tried to help them after I untied myself he shot me on the side of my stomach under my left breast. All I remember is Scott's and Aria's last words. Both of them said 'I love you and follow your heart'. After that all I remember is waking up in the hospital. After that I could never look at my family the same and that's why I won't ever join my father's gang or any other gang.'' Jasmine explained looking down at her ice cream.

''God Jasmine. We're so sorry.'' Emily spoke up breaking the silence.

''Thanks. Anyway it was a long time ago but it still hurts you know.'' Jasmine smiled. All of us nodded.

''Anyway I have to get to bed, tomorrow is my first shift at the hospital. Night guys and girls.'' Jasmine smiled and got up.

''Night.'' We all reply.

Wow I never thought she went through so much. I always thought it was just that she doesn't want to be in a gang but her fathers gang killed the people she loved. Yet she's so strong and could probably be the best in the world.
