> I spat out, >
I took a deep breath of air, thinking over everything I had said. I needed to make sure Sebastian understood what I was trying to say.
I was so sick of not being part of the gang- being a part of a gang is all I've ever known, and now I have nothing.
I felt unstable, as if I were teetering on the edge of sanity or a mental breakdown.
> I said slowly, emphasizing each word. >
Sebastian was leaning forwards, his eyes piercing me. My breath caught in my throat when he began to make his way over to me. I forced my eyes to remain glued to his, in an attempt to, for once, not back down. I watched as his full, pink lips parted, >
A surprised gust of air left me and my shock lasted for a solid couple of seconds before I was able to lock it all up and look expressionless.
Could this be possible?
Was Sebastian really agreeing with me?
> Sebastian now turned his attention to the helpless man.
> The humorless laugh that echoed throughout the room caused a series of goose bumps to break out across my skin. >
The sound of Sebastian's powerful punch connecting with the man's face made me flinch back. My stomach knotted as memories of my punishment flooded my mind.
I knew that I had to do something.
My body found a place between Sebastian and the moaning man, blood streaming from his surely broken nose.
the man rasped out. >
My vision clouded as I focused on his words, the familiar spark of anger brewing within me.
>
I practically saw red at his words, and a tremor ran through my body.
«You see, » Sebastian now spoke, > Sebastian edged closer to me, his chin practically resting on his chest so that he could peer into my eyes.
>
My anger was wiped away; shock replacing it. My jaw dropped slightly and my lips parted in surprise.
> Sebastian let out a dry laugh. >

Sebastian's words haunted me from before, and I felt the undeniable rage build within me.
> the man wheezed out, >
My body locked in anticipation.
> I snarled out, shoving my hand further into his neck, my nails puncturing his skin. My impulsiveness acted out and I easily replaced my hand with the gun, and pulled the trigger.
His blood splattered everywhere, and I turned just in time for it to only hit the side of my face.
My eyes met all three of the boys, their expressions ones of shock, surprise, and interest.
They looked at me cautiously, almost as if I were to explode again.
I could only imagine how I looked at that moment. My hair was undoubtedly disheveled, my eyes cold and harsh, and blood splashed over me. My eyes met the lifeless one's of the man I had just killed. The first person that I had ever killed.
His blood was quite literally on my hands.
I was well aware that Sebastian, Mason, and Callum all knew this. They way they stood there, tensed and wary, watching my every moment, though I hadn't moved much.

I raised the gun slowly, noticing how they all stiffened. They were waiting for me to crack- to crack under the realization of what I had just done.
I swallowed lightly before parting my lips, all three of them leaning forward.

I turned back to the window, and took in the vibrant greenery, and the dull, grey color of the sky.

Mason returned to his previous position, >
My focus was no longer on the raindrops that trailed down the glass, but on the words that were leaving Mason's mouth.
<< I trusted you, Evelyn. »
My closed my eyes for a moment, absorbing the meaning of those four words, and the depths they sunk into.
