Lad
I was smiling at something Leon said when V opened the door, and my heart stopped. There sat Jesse, and Emily on the couch kissing. Just like she had never left. I was moving before I even realized it. I looked up when I was stopped realizing it was V's broad back.
"Get her out of here man," V said refusing to move as Jesse jumped up , and walked forward. The two had broken apart guiltily the moment they realized they weren't alone.
"Its not what you think," he said weakly.
"Talk to me Jesse, cause it don't look good brother," V said letting me know just how pissed he was.

Standing next to V I was in total shock. It was something I would never have thought Jesse capable off. Finally I picked up my jaw as I turned towards my sister.
"Come on baby, let's go," Leon said taking her arm, and pulling gently. Without arguing , she turned to walk away with him , hiding her face in his neck.
"What the hell is this Jesse!" I yelled when I though she was out of earshot.
" I , its just she , was."
"I don't even want to hear it," I said shoving him as I stormed up the stairs to my room. First Edwin, now this , why couldn't my sister be lucky in love.
Lad
I sat next to Leon in the car in my own world.
"What's going on up there?" he asked as he drove around trying to calm me.
"I just dont' know why he thinks he can do this to me ."
"He can't Lad," he said putting his hand over mine. " You are so special, you don't have to take this from him, and I know he's my friend, but he's wrong. "
"Oh Leon , If only that was true," I said sighing heavily. " I'm not special I'm just a tomboyish girl that no one wants." I said ashamed as my voice started cracking.
My heart leaped up in to my chest as Leon slammed on the brakes pulling over on the side of the highway.
"Are you crazy?" I said half laughing.
"No, but you are."
"ME, why?"
"Lad, you are something , don't let anyone make you feel like you aren't special girl," he said placing his hand on the side of my face.
"You are so perfect , how many girls ,can work on cars with you , race, drink like a fish, and look good while doing them."
"Leon, that's not me," I said shaking my head.
"Yes it is," He said refusing to let me look away as he held my face in his hands.
"Look at me Leiandra," he said making me focus on him.
"You are so beautiful." The way he whispered it really made me see things clearly.Leon liked me, and not in a cousinly way. That night at the party wasn't just a fluke.
"Leon?"
" I know , I know you don't feel that way about me, but Jesse needs to know he can't do this to you , you won't just be waiting for him to come back."
"You mean , you .. and me?"
"Just for awhile, it doesn't have to be , the real thing or anything ."
"Leon, no that's not fair to you."
"Lad.. its the closest I'm ever going to come to actually being with you," He said breaking my heart more.
"NO, don't..." I sighed as I slumped back in my seat. What in the world should I do ? I thought.
