A/N: Do I have another hyper fixation that I must write about ASAP?
Of course, I do.
This was supposed to be short and sweet but I mean look at those faces, of course it's not gonna be short and sweet. I meant to write this is one whole part but it looks like it might have to be multiple parts if there is enough interest.

David's POV:
It was a typical Saturday night and the sun had just set, the boys and I made our way to the boardwalk. The feel of the warm summer breeze blew past us as we sped down to the beach. Â
Pulling off to the side to park my bike, Marko along with the others followed closely behind. Â
"Max said he wants to see us at the shop." I spoke killing the engine on my bike. The boys nodded in response before climbing off our bikes and making our way to the shop. Â
Walking in, I took note of the customers browsing the shelves as we made our way to the register where Max had been standing talking to a familiar woman. Clearing my throat, Max turned with a smile which quickly faded into a frown. Â
I smirked back as I spoke up, "You called?"Â
Looking back towards the woman, he informed her that he would be back in a few moments before placing a hand on my back and motioning for me to follow. Once we were out of ear shot, Max turned to face the four of us. Â
"Listen, I have a date tonight with Lucy and I need you guys to do a favor for me." Raising my brow, I questioned. Â
"Which is?" Max reached over past my shoulder before going towards a young (Y/H/C) girl who was busy stocking a shelf. Â
"You see that girl over there, her name is (Y/N) and she's Lucy's daughter. Recently, she broke up with her abusive ex-boyfriend and he's been bothering her. I've caught him a few times cornering her in the shop or waiting outside after it closes. I usually give her a ride home but since I have a date tonig-" I held up my hand stopping him from continuing. Â
"Listen, we aren't here to be bodyguards to some girl." Max sighed, with a hand running down his face. Â
"Just for once, can you do me this favor without arguing?" I rolled my eyes looking back at the boys for their opinions, Marko gave a simple shrug, I looked towards Paul who gave a smirk and then Dwayne who glanced back at the girl before giving a small nod. Â
"Sure, but whatâs in it for us?â If Max could, Iâm sure he would end the lives of all four of us right then and there but with another quick glance back to Lucy, he sighed.Â
âWhat do you want?â Â
âHm, maybe just a little favor of our own that youâll repay in time. Howâs that sound?â With a small snarl curling in the corner of his mouth, he flashed us his bright yellow eyes before they quickly changed back to normal. Â
âFine. Fine, you got yourself a deal. Just hang around the outside of the shop and if you see him,â Turning, he grabbed a picture of what looked like grainy footage from a security camera of a dark haired male from behind him off the counter. âYou come in and deal with him. Also, follow her home so that you know she gets home safely. I donât want poor little Lucy to worry about her daughter all night.â He finished with a grin. Â
âSo, you want us to stalk her?â As quick as the grin appeared it was gone, shifting back into the same frown he gave us when we walked in. Â
âJust do as your told and donât show her your true selves under any circumstances. Understand?â Â
âYou got it pops, go enjoy your little date and we'll keep an eye on her." I said with a straight face and sarcasm lacing my tone before motioning for the boys to follow behind as we headed out, I glanced back to see her familiar (Y/E/C) eyes staring back at me. Flashing her a smirk, we walked out into the night. Â
(Y/N) POV:Â
I watched as Max spoke to the four bikers that are usually seen to be hanging around the boardwalk. I had heard about them before, my brother Micheal was spending some time with them for a little while but eventually he began to avoid them, claiming they were dangerous and that I should stay away from them. I donât see what is so dangerous about a bunch of guys dressed in leather, God knows Iâve seen and experienced worse. Â
My ex-boyfriend Daniel had been a pretty shitty boyfriend when we were together, donât get me wrong things started out great but then he began to become jealous of my friends, then it was the way I was dressed, until one day when he first laid his hands on me and I knew he wasnât my prince charming â he was a nightmare come true. Â
At first, he would apologize profusely and shower me in gifts and promise that he would never raise a hand to me again, until he did. It got to the point where I would wear makeup to cover up the bruises, long sleeves even on the hottest days and sunglasses indoors. My family was suspicious, especially my brother Micheal but they never questioned me. Â
One night, he took it too far. We had been down at the boardwalk enjoying one of the regular Saturday night beach parties when he left to go grab us some drinks. As I stood, waiting for him to come back, an old guy friend of mine approached and began asking how I had been doing and where I had been. I didnât notice Daniel looking from afar watching me, so I tried to be polite but still trying to rush him before Daniel had gotten back, it wasnât until my friend reached down to give me a hug that he made his appearance known. Ripping me apart from my friend by the shoulder, he pulled me away from the concert and further down the boardwalk to a more secluded area. He began shouting that I was a cheating whore, and I was rubbing it in his face, as I tried to apologize, he reached up and smashed his fist into the side of my cheek. The impact caused me to lose my balance and fall to the ground, I reached up and cupped my cheek in fear and pain. Â
It wasnât until I heard a struggle that I looked up to see Micheal slamming his fist repeatedly into Danielâs face. I stayed sitting on the ground, watching the altercation in shock before I gathered the courage to pull my brother off him. Â
âMicheal, enough! Heâs had enough!â I screamed tugging on Micheal's arm a little harder before he finally let go. Â
âIf you ever lay another finger on her, Iâll fucking kill you! You hear me!â Micheal screamed down at a now bloody and bruised Daniel. I pulled on his arm again to leave before the cops showed up. Taking ahold of my hand, Micheal and I fled down the boardwalk, towards his bike. Climbing on, we took off into the night. Â
I was torn from my thoughts as by my mother's voice.Â
â(Y/N), Max and I are going to head out now. Are you sure youâre okay here by yourself? I donât have to do if youâre uncomfortable.â I smiled at her before shaking my head in disagreement. Â
âMom, Iâll be fine. Go enjoy yourself and have fun!â With a smile, she reached out and gave me a hug. Â
âOkay, sweetheart. Well, I left the number of the restaurant we are going to under the desk at the register. Also, your grandfather has a date with the widow Johnson, but I also left her number there just in case you canât reach me, you can try him.â I glanced over my mom's shoulder to catch one last glance at the group, particularly the platinum-haired one. I locked eyes with him as he shot me a smirk over his shoulder before making his way out the door with the other three following close behind. Â
~ Time Skip ~Â
It had been a particularly slow night, there had been another big concert down at the beach, so most people werenât on the boardwalk shopping. I continued to stock the few things I had left before starting my closing duties when I heard the bell on the door ding. Â
âHi, welcome to vid-â I stopped stocking the shelf to greet the customer who walked in when I stopped mid-sentence when I saw who was standing in the doorway. Â
Daniel. Â
â(Y/N).â I felt my heart start racing as the sound of blood rushing in my veins filled my ears. Â
âDaniel, what are you doing here?â I laid down the remaining VHS tapes I had left to stock.Â
âYou know, youâve been very hard to reach lately.â He began, slowly making his way around the counter, I immediately began to back away from him as he began to get closer. âI mean, after the way we left things, I was hoping we could talk and work things out.â I kept backing away in attempt to flee from him but this just made him madder, taking longer strides he reached for me and wrapped a hand around my throat. Â
âYou need to leave, we broke up.â I said, trying to keep my voice as calm as possible. The doorbell dinged again causing Daniel to break his eye contact with me and us both to turn to see who had just walked in. Looking towards the door, I locked eyes with the same platinum-haired bad boy from earlier, along with his three friends. Glancing between Daniel and I, he gave us the same smirk from earlier. Â
