HELLO!

So this is my Perfect Chemistry story, I loved all three of the books and the style of writing and that there was so much more to each character than what met the eye.

I hope you enjoy reading this, it is going to be a slow process but hopefully worth it as I felt that, I rushed my last story, so an update every few weeks as a minimum.

All characters belong to the respective owners as well as their storylines and ideas.

If you do or don't enjoy this then PLEASE let me know so I can give you what you want to read (hopefully).

Thank you again and now after all of that, let's get started!

Jess Point Of View (Wednesday)

My bed sheets had been kicked off of me during the humid night, exposing my body to the now crisp morning air. I rubbed my face as I untangled my other arm from underneath me as I turned over, I check the clock through my sleep blurred vision. I reached across the double bed and slapped the alarm off which had been going off for the past 6 minuets.

I sat up and swung my legs off of the bed shivering waking myself up slightly, I sat and listened to the muffled, droning voices of May and my Dad talking downstairs. I had a class at 2pm. I checked my timetable on my bedside cabinet, it was my second year at college.

I stand up, my knee clicking in the process. I took my phone off of charge checking for messages and E-mail. I pocket it in the dressing gown I had slung on over my sleep heavy body.

Whilst walking down the plush cream colour carpeted stairs, May and Dads voices became more clear to me, I stopped around the corner and listen. I look up the stairs tall walls, a picture of my high school graduation hanging there, May and Dad smiling at a friends BBQ. A baby picture, smiling, plump, dressed in a nappy, eyes bright. I smiled to myself as the voices brought me back.

'George, you can't keep shutting me out! Jess out' May said in her usual whining voice.

'May, please I'm not shutting you out, I just wanted some time to myself.' Dad said sighing he sounded so tired, he worked long hours.

'But you are, we never talk any more, you are always talking at work, and to your friends. What about Jess, your own daughter! does she know about any of this, you wouldn't keep a secret from her. Though me it is a different story.' May was starting to get hysterical, she was mutton dressed as lamb, not a true beauty, too many face lifts and too much Botox

'May did you ever think it is because they listen to me, sometimes I like to go out for a walk, listen to my mind, I love you. Jess will be fine about it. Jess is always supportive' Dad muttered I raised my eyebrows waiting for Mays response

'I listen, all I do is support this family.' May almost shirked about to go off and make a mountain out of a mole hill. This was becoming too regular.

I sighed and thudded harder down the last few steps, I walked in to the open, white, now silent kitchen. May and my Dad, sitting at the coffee counter; mugs in their hands, smiles on their faces, tense body language, their eyes darting around the room and a bitter taste in the air. The house was a lot bigger than the house we used to live in, this house was all neutral tones, with minimal pictures, lots of plants, big and empty, full of useless but pretty looking clutter. It was May personified.

'Morning partner' Dad smiled at me drinking the dregs of his coffee, his nose wrinkling at the bitterness of it

'Morning' I said and kissed his cheek as I walked past him my hair falling over my shoulder

'Morning sweetie' my 'Mom' called over to me

I just gave her a small smile, my father got with this woman, about 3 years ago, it is because of her we had to move down here to Ohio after I finished High School in Iowa, away from my friends, other family and my mothers and Brothers resting place. May didn't get that for so many years it had just been my Dad and I.

Dad liked his space but she was always getting onto him. Recently it had really been getting him down. I was polite to keep my Dad happy but May wasn't my sort of person. I only met her a few months before their wedding. 2 years this year.

'Class today?' my Dad asked me

'Yeah not till 2, I'll go after lunch' I said putting some bread in the toaster and grabbing the coffee pot, I took it off of its stand and walked over to my Dad and topped his cup up for him

'Thank you' Dad said sounding as though he was thanking me for more than the coffee. I guested the fresh Coffee to May she just shook her head, here bleached hair glinting in the light. I filled my own cup and put the spread on my toast as I took a sip of Coffee. I grabbed my things and took it upstairs to my room.

I sat on my bed texting Tuc.

'Dad and May bad again'' I sent waiting for his reply tightening my dressing gown around me

'Happy Wednesday darling'' I smiled at his response

'How was the date?'' I bit into my toast, wiping some spread off of the side of my mouth

'Lol it was a NO GO! He arrived and talked about nothing but himself, so boring. He doesn't even go out and party! Urgh I think you and I should just elope.'' I felt bad for poor Tuc, he didn't find many guys he liked and when he did they never really were a brilliant match.

'Oh, sorry to hear that, better find out now than when you go to Philips party'' I replied to him and downed half of my coffee

'You said it! Have a good day and maybe hang tonight?'' I smiled Tuc was always there for me, the only good thing that came of the move well, that and college.

'K speak later, stay out of trouble' I threw the phone on my bed as I went in to the shower, May and dad were still talking, now they were speaking softer, I herd her giggle. I put my head under the running water, drowning their voices out.

The water here was different to home, it was harder, it seemed to land on my skin rather than glide off of it, the summers were hot, humid and winters were harsh.

My medium length dirty blonde hair, with highlights in, turned darker as the water consumed it, it needed touching up soon, though I was bored of the maintenance. Dad paid for it I didn't have any financial worries. I looked down at my chubby body, I grabbed my stomach, I jiggled my leg as I washed them. I shut the water off and wrapped the cotton, white towel around me. A smaller one around my hair, all of my different lotions and potions lining a shelf.

I got my sketching pad out, lined my different pencils and colouring pencils out. I blow dried my hair and oiled it, I put some moisturiser on my skin as the water seemed to dry it out. I got dressed and threw the curtains back letting the light stream into my open room, a walk-in closet, my own en-suite, large bay window, double bed and desk, I sat on my window ledge sketching my next piece of work, the last few had been covered over and white washed.

The North side didn't like rough, raw, passionate artwork, smaller pieces seemed to work well. The South side was my next location. I flipped through the pages and found what I was working on, there were a few Southsiders I was at college with and I listened in to what they were talking about, what they were feeling. I smudged a few lines and added some more detail looking at it for a while. I picked the damp towel off of the floor and hung them up in my bathroom.

I checked the time and went to the loo. Both Dad and May had gone off to work. As I walked down the staircase into the Kitchen, the other staircase near Dads room went to the lobby. I made some lunch I switched the radio on, eating whilst listening to the news. After putting everything into the dish washer. I checked for post. Nothing, I was waiting for some new cans to turn up.

I headed to my room to get my phone, I tied my hair up and put some make up on. I closed my sketchbook and grabbed my school bag and skate board and headed off down the road.

College was the same routine every week, lazy morning 3 times a week, depending on lectures and classes, went to school and studied then came home and sketched for a few hours or spent time with Tuc.

Alexs' Point Of View (Wednesday)

My Mother threw a cup of cold water over my face, I gasped as I sat up suddenly, reaching under my bed, I stopped when Mama's voice rang though my ears

'Levántate perezoso' she shouted at me

'MAMA, MAMA ' I placed my hands up showing I was surrendering

'Your brother won't go to school Again' She said frustrated and stormed out after she ripped the covers off of me, I cried out and tried to cover my privates that had been awake for a while. I lay back down, sneering as now my pillows were wet.

'Alex' Mama called out again, I groaned and placed my hand on my forehead pushing my hair out of my eyes, I jumped up out of my small bed, which was pushed against the wall. I pulled a black T-shirt on and pulled on some old ripped dark blue jeans, I shoved the Latino Blood bandanna in my back pocket. I raked my hands through my hair as I walked past my brothers beds, we were growing out of our shared room as well and running out of patience for one another.

Louis's bed re-made all neat ready for his good, settled sleep. His desk, full of books and homework, his clothes folded neat. He was the youngest 11 going on 18, he loved school and learning, Louis dreamed big.

Carlos. his bed a mess, sheets hanging off of the bed, books in a pile with dust staring to recover them, clothes in a mass pile of dirty and cleaned, I bent over and picked the sheets up. He was the middle child as I was the eldest, he was 18 going on 10, he had been a massive pain in the ass these past few months, he used to be like Louis, but after he was held back in school Again, Carlos had, had enough and wanted to rebel.

Mama had enough to do around the house and for other people, yet this lazy bastard couldn't even make his bed.

I walked out of our shared bedroom, I went and had a piss in our cramped family bathroom I checked my reflection in the cracked mirror. I jogged down the narrow stair case, I turned and went into the kitchen, following the smell of cooking. Mama over the stove, Louis leaning over a book at the table, spooning his mouth full of the meal Mama had made. I ruffled his hair as I walked past him, he battered me away.

'Morning hermanito' I said as I passed him

'Hermano de la Manana ' his small voice called out not looking up from his book his eyes flashing from side to side as he absorbed every word.

I kissed Mama's cheek she placed her hand on my cheek, making me still for a moment. I gave her a small smile and took the plate she had made for me

'Thank you' I said to her, Carlos was leaning against the kitchen counter, his phone welded to his hand.

'oi idiot' I called out as I sat down, I glanced at what Louis was reading. Carlos looked up, his eyes hard.

'Eat your desayuno ' I pointed to his plate he just ignored me and went back to his phone. I scooped it into my mouth, glancing at the clock. I couldn't be late to work again.

'Carlos, favor' Mama said Carlos did put his phone away and sit down, just looking at us hard, he had such an attitude problem lately. He was a hell of a lot lucky compaird to how theirs around here lived.

'What you reading? perdedor' Carlos teased Louis

'Hey' Louis called out as Carlos took his book from him, dangling it over the table as Louis stood trying to make a grab for it.

'Leave him' I said harshly snatching the book from Carlos and gave it back to Louis. Carlos swore under his breath and sat back down as we held each others hard stare. We ate in silence, the only noise our cutlery scraping the well worn, cracked plates.

The house was small, though it was clean, Mama made sure it was that way, we were lucky to still be here just scraping by every month. The second hand furniture from years ago just hanging together, we didn't have much. Papa was so proud to be able to say we had brought our house and could do as we liked, we used to visit our family in Mexico a minimum of once a year.

When Papa passed away, Mama had to work late so she was making money. We had to sell the house to the LB leader Joey who we now had to pay each week. We hadn't visited Mexico since he had died, I was working for my Uncle at his garage as well as working for the LB. Safe to say our situation would make my cold father turn in his grave.

Since Papa died, I had taken the role of the main role of provider to the family, I didn't want Mama to have her cleaning job forever, for those snobby North siders, I took my fathers place in the LB, which meant that my brothers were safe, Joey promised me that my brothers wouldn't be part of the Blood. My Mama wouldn't work forever, one day, we might have things good. One day.

'Escuela' I called out a little later, Louis jumped up, he closed his book and placed his plate in the sink carefully and kissed Mama goodbye, I knew he was the favourite as Louis looked most like Papa. Carlos just sat there, Mama watched Louis with a smile on her small face, she had gotten so thin lately

'Do you want me to hold your hand?' I said as I passed Carlos he shoved me away

'Come on Carla' I sung, making him lash out at me

'Enough' Mama called out sounding tired Carlos stormed out of the house after shoving his plate in the bowl, splashing the water all over the counter top, making Mama suck in a sharp breath. I ran upstairs and brushed my teeth and placed the Glock in the gun belt that I fastened under my jeans.

I walked with Louis as it was on the way to work Carlos had snuck off somewhere, we walked in silence, I took my bandanna out and tied it around my forehead so it kept my floppy, dark hair out of my eyes, Louis just looked up at me, I placed my hand on his shoulder.

'See you tonight Bro' I said to Louis once we got to the train tracks before I turned off to the garage

'What about Carlos?' Louis called out I froze

'Mierda' I paused I glanced at my worn out watch

'I'll sort it, run along, don't be late' I told him as he obeyed me, he checked each way before crossing the tracks.

I had 15 minuets before I needed to be at work. I turned and looked around, people walking to school or college, a few cars going around he small streets that were looking worse for wear. Louis went to the North side school, he was safe there. I headed in the direction I guessed Carlos had gone in, I broke out into a jog.

There had been talk that included my brother and the LB.
