Introduction
Jacksonville is a city torn by gang warfare. It is led by two main gangs- the Shadows and the Hawks. However, numerous other small gangs join in the war, choosing their side. The feud has been going on for years, and the cause of it has long been forgotten. But still it rages on, killing innocent people and gang members. It does not distinguish.
But the gang members are people too. They have families and stories to be told. Indeed, even the leaders of the gangs are not excerpt from life. In fact, the leaders both have children. And while they expect them to follow in their footsteps, fate has a much different path.
For as long as he can remember, the son of the Hawk leader has been dreaming about a girl. She grew at the same rate as he did. She was always about his age. In every single dream he has, she is always there. She is always by his side. He never thought anything of it- after all, dreams are just dreams, right?
Until one day, he saw her. Not in his dreams. In reality. He followed her as far as he could, before finding himself on the border of Shadow territory. Confused, he went home. She was still in his dreams, but darker, somehow.
But from that moment on, they couldn't avoid each other. He fell for her almost immediately, but she was more reluctant. They tried dating, but it never seemed to work out. She always walked away from him. But they always ended up back where they started. He tried to stay away from her. He tried to ignore how he felt. He knew how dangerous it was.
She never felt anything for him. But somehow, she was drawn to him. He always kept coming back, and she always let him. But somehow, he was harder to manipulate. All she had on him was the fact that he was hopelessly in love with her. And that wasn't enough. She tried to break his heart, to make him stay away. She knew that nothing good would ever happen if the two of them were together. And he was one of the few people who she genuinely had nothing on. Without something to use against him, he was useless to her.
Or so she thought. Until she crossed the wrong person and had to get out of town- fast. She couldn't get away alone, so she turned to the only person she knew she could turn to in this situation. She appeared under his window at 3 AM with her bags packed and a tank full of gas. He shoved his most treasured belongings into a bag and left the house without even leaving a note.
They made it to Vegas. But once they made it there, they were out of money and low on gas. So they turned to the only thing they knew. They managed to trick a different gang out of thousands of dollars. And along the way, she found herself falling for him.
And now, with a briefcase of money and a tank of gas, they've got the world at their feet.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors
She moved a bit, and he sat down beside her, secretly glad to take the wait off of his leg. He laughed a little as she asked if he was okay. "I'm fine, seriously. I dosed up on painkillers before I left. Don't you worry, I'll be fine." But he figured that he'd be using crutches for the next few days, just to make sure that he didn't do any more damage. The gunfight and being knocked out probably hadn't done him much good. He nodded as she said she wanted out of her jeans. He stood up again, shifting his weight to his good leg as he did so.
"We'll work this out somehow. If we have to cut them off, we will. But only as a last resort." He grinned at her, making sure that he didn't allow the cocktail of emotions that he was feeling to show. "Unbutton them anyways, that'll be a start. And work them down as much as you can, okay? But the moment it hurts too much, stop. And don't be a martyr and say you're okay. If nothing else, you could end up doing more damage, and you'll be laid up even longer. The painkillers won't kick in for another little while yet, okay? So take it easy." He stayed on his feet, ready to help her if she needed.
