Okay, I always forget to edit in the stars for the thoughts, so i'm gunna use +'s instead, if I remember. Sorry if there is any confusion with the thoughts!
I woke up, excited that Alyssa was coming today. I threw back the covers of my bed and tried to get up, but found it hard to do because a strong arm was wrapped around my waist. +What the…+ I looked down to see Jack. My heart melted again, I smiled down at him and pecked him on the lips. A slight grin flashed on his face. "I love you too, Jack…" I whispered. I laid back down next to him. "Jack…" I whispered again, "…why did you do it? Why did you cheat on me so long ago?" I asked not really wanting an answer. I sat there for a few minutes just staring at the ceiling. Finally, I gently lifted Jack's arm off my waist and got my clothes to take a shower.
I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel under my arms. Suddenly I heard a growling noise from where the door was, I whipped around to see Jack standing there smirking at me with his arms folded. "You ahole! How'd you get in here?" I cried but laughed at the same time. "I pick-locked it." Jack simply replied.
I glared at him. "Just so you could stare at my naked body? It seems a lot to go through." He walked up to me, he was only about 9 inches away. "O yes, it was…" He leaned down to my ear, "…but it was worth it." I looked at him oddly.
"Well you extra h0ry today. What's up?" I asked suspiciously
"Nothing." He laughed walking out of the bathroom. +Weirdo+
9:47 P.M.
Bobby, Angel, Jack, and I were following a lead we had. Well, Bobby had. Bobby was driving us to some place were all the kids hang out now. There was supposedly a party there tonight. So, that's where we were going.
Finally, we pulled up to a shack looking warehouse. We got out of the car and went to get our weapons, or they went to get their weapons. My shot gun was hidden in my trench coat (I had a special loop put in to fit it.). Bobby opened the trunk and pulled out two shot guns, a flashlight, and a gasoline can. He gave a gun to and kept one for himself, then get pushed the gas into Jack's hands.
"What about Ryan?" Angel asked.
"Well, Ryan being my sister and all, I happen to know she brought her own gear." Bobby said. I smiled at him and pulled my gun out with lightning speed. Bobby and Angel smiled.
"Wait, what do I get?" Jack asked. Bobby smiled at him.
"Aw you want something Princess…?" Bobby pulled out a crowbar, "…Here, smack 'em around with this." Jack grumbled at Bobby. We stood outside the doors of the warehouse and I could hear the crappy rap music. (A/N: Sorry if you like rap. Some of its ok.) "So…we're doing the gas thing?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, we're gunna do the gas thing. Only one thing scares people more than being burned alive and that's being eaten alive." I laughed wondering where Bobby learns all his random violent facts from.
"Ready?" I whispered. All the guys nodded. I ran to the door and kicked it open. The kids around the door looked at me. "Cops are here!" I yelled, making everyone dart in various directions. My brothers came in behind me.
"Jeez, Ryan. Leave some fun for us." –Bobby. I smiled at him.
"I'm done. You can lead now, brother." I smiled. Bobby walked in front of me.
"Yall betta run! The popo's are 'ere! They crazy!" Bobby cried in an odd voice. Finally we got to the back of the warehouse were the main people were. The 'gang leader' who couldn't have been older than 17 was getting up to run. Bobby walked to him quickly, putting the gun in his face. "Where you going?" Bobby asked pushing the kid down with the barrel of the gun then pouring gas on him. Angel walked to the other side of the room and made sure the 'home boys' were seated. "Man I don't know nothin!" the leader cried, Bobby stuffed a cloth in his mouth. "This isn't the time for you to talk! This is the time for you to listen. Which one of your 'home boys' shot up the liquor store on 104th street?" Bobby asked. I looked over at the other side of the room to see a girl standing by the wall. I grabbed the gas can from Bobby and walked over to her. "What are you doing?" I yelled.
"It's warm here!" She yelled back.
"Well that's why you wear a jacket while you're in Detroit! Now go sit your snotty ass down!" I yelled at her, pushing the gun in her side. She sat down on the couch and, just to piss her off, I poured gas on her and everyone else on the couch. "Hey! What the fk!" She cried.
"Shut up!" I yelled back. Bobby pulled the rag out of the kids mouth. "Man that shits all fake! Nobody was playin hoops when that went down!"
"How would you know that if you weren't there?" Bobby asked.
"The shooting went down at 11. The center shuts the lights out at 10!" the kid cried
"Oh really. Let's go see." Bobby said yanking the kid back to the entrance. Angel, Jack, and I followed. "You all better stay in school! America has enough dumb asses!" I yelled over my shoulder. I heard Bobby chuckle. "I hope you all have a lovely evening!" Jack yelled. I smiled, what a dork.
We got to the center at 10:02 and the lights were still on. "Man, it's 10:02 and the lights are still on!" Bobby yelled at the kid. The kid started fidgeting and Bobby started dragging him. "Naw man! The lights will turn off! I swear they will!"
"The only lights turning off are yours." Bobby yelled at him. Then loud clicking noises sounded. We turned around and saw the lights turning off. "Your lucky, kid." -Angel
After we dropped the kid off at his hang out, we drove home. Arriving back around 10:25. Alyssa is gust getting on the ground. (A/N: Okay, I know in the last chapter I wrote that she would get in around 9:30, but I forgot about the whole lights thing. So I changed the time.) We walked in the house and Sofi started yelling at Angel. "Where were you? Do you know what time it is? You promised me it would be different this time, Angel!" The annoying chirping just kept coming. "Baby! It is gunna be different! And I'm a grown man, I can do what I want!"
"Aw you're breakin my heart." Bobby said in an odd voice.
"Bobby, please don't start." Angel moaned
"What Bobby? You've got something to say?" Sofi yelled. Then Bobby and Sofi started their yelling fest. Jack and I rolled our eyes and walked into the kitchen. "So, when is your friend gunna get here?" Jack asked. I looked at the clock, it was 10:41.
"She should get here in about 15 or 20 minutes." -Ryaina. Jack evilly smiled at me.
"That gives us some alone time!" –Jack
"If alone means make-out then sure. But, I'm not sleeping with you in that way until I really feel it's right."
"Fine…" Jack said before grabbing me and throwing us to the wall. I must have lost track of time because before I knew it, the door bell rang. I'm surprised I herd it over Angel, Sofi, and Bobby's fighting. Jack and I walked into the other room to watch.
"Bobby can you get that?" I yelled, pretending to still be in the kitchen. Bobby walked to the door, still yelling at Sofi, and yanked open the door. Bobby immediately stopped yelling when he can face to face with Alyssa. Alyssa smiled sweetly at Bobby who had his mouth open ready to yell. "Um hi. You must be Bobby, is Ryaina here?" She asked wrapping her arms around her when a strong burst of wind hit her, making her ruddy-brown hair fly in her face. Bobby opened the door to let her in. "I'm sorry, you must be freezing out there!" Bobby said concerned. +Bobby? Concerned! My plan is working better then I thought it would.+ Alyssa smiled at him and walked in. When she saw me she dropped her bag and ran to hug me.
"Oh my gosh! Your okay! Well why wouldn't you be? This is your everyday thing. I was just worried cause it isn't a normal thing, especially for a semi-normal person like me…" Alyssa babbled, which she only did when she was nervous or when a handsome guy was around. I smiled and stopped her, "Alyssa! Chill take a breath." I said hugging her.
"Well it's nice to have another woman in the house!" Sofi said, I wasn't really sure if it was sarcastic or not. Bobby looked at Sofi, "Sofi shut up!" he yelled. Alyssa looked at the two. "You were right, they do fight 24/7!" She laughed. Before I came home, I had told her everything about my family, so she wasn't freaked out with all the yelling.
"Don't you tell me to shut up, Bobby!" Sofi yelled. "Your gunna let him talk to me like that, Angel? I can't believe you! You said it would be different this time!" She whined to Angel. Angel tried comforting her but she just stormed upstairs. I looked over at Alyssa who rolled her eyes in annoyance. Bobby saw her.
Bobby smiled, "Hi, well you know I'm Bobby. But who are you?"
"I'm Alyssa, Ryaina's room-mate." Bobby held out his hand.
"Well, uh, nice to met you." They both shook hands. "Wait…are you the one that tought Ryan how to cook?" Bobby asked hopefully.
Alyssa smiled, "Yeah, that would be me." Bobby smiled broadly and looked at me.
"Ryan, I really like this girl!" He joked. Alyssa chuckled and Jack and I smiled.
"Oh, sorry! Jack right?" Alyssa asked holding out her hand.
Jack took it and smiled, "Yeah, how do you know us?"
"Well, Ryan as you call her, told me everything about you guys. Everything from how you all came to Miss. Mercer to how you all left and then everything in between." She laughed.
"Well Alyssa, I'll show you to where you'll be sleeping." I said grabbing her bag, "Bobby you don't mind if she sleeps in your old room, do you?"
"No. Not at all!" Alyssa and I walked upstairs. We walked into Bobby's room and closed the door quickly.
"You never told me Bobby was so hot!" Alyssa cried.
"Well yeah, he's my brother, of course I wouldn't tell you that."
"Well that never stopped you and Jack!" She cried again. We both smiled.
"So I'm taking it that you really like him, right?"
"Duh! Of course!" We both smiled.
"Well now that that's cleared up, I have to tell you some important stuff. Okay first Jack and I are back together…"
"Yeah I sorta figured. But go on!" She hurried me.
"…and second, do you remember the whole reason why I risk my neck everyday of my life?"
"Your missions? Yeah, you said you do it to find out about your past."
"Yeah well it turns out that my mom had it in her safety box the whole time! So when she…erm died I got my information."
"So you wont have to risk your neck every night anymore?" She asked excitedly.
"No. But that's not the best part! It turns out Bobby really is my brother, our parents were divorced. My dad abused me and our mom died so we were put in foster care." Alyssa looked dumbstruck.
"Oh my gosh! Really? That means if Bobby and I go far that I'll be your sister!"
"Chill there! You might not get that far, but I hope you do! And did you see how he looked at you? I think he really likes you, especially cause you don't like Sofi!" We both started laughing.
>>>Bobby's POV
I was doing my daily yelling at Sofi when Ryan asked me to get the door. I was yelling so loud that I hadn't even herd the door. I yanked open the door about to yell something back at Sofi but was stopped by a girl standing in the door way. She was beautiful! She had reddish brown hair, a few light specks of freckles, and grassy green eyes. And to add to the effect, the cold wind was blowing making her beautiful hair fly around her face. "Um hi. You must be Bobby, is Ryaina here?" She asked wrapping her arms around her when the wind blew. I opened the door still awe-struck. +Wait, how does she know my name?"+ I broke out of my trance, "I'm sorry, you must be freezing out there!" I said concerned. She smiled a beautiful smile at me and walked in. When she saw Ryan she dropped her bag and ran to hug her. +How many more times can I call her beautiful? I didn't even now I knew that word+
"Oh my gosh! Your okay! Well why wouldn't you be? This is your everyday thing. I was just worried cause it isn't a normal thing, especially for a semi-normal person like me…" the girl babbled.
Ryan smiled and stopped her, "Alyssa! Chill take a breath." She said hugging her.
"Well it's nice to have another woman in the house!" Sofi said, I could tell she was a little sarcastic. I looked at Sofi, "Sofi, shut up!" I yelled. Alyssa looked at the two of us. +Great, now she's gunna think I'm an ashole+ "You were right, they do fight 24/7!" She laughed. +Is that a good thing? It might be because she smiled.+
"Don't you tell me to shut up, Bobby!" Sofi yelled. "Your gunna let him talk to me like that, Angel? I can't believe you! You said it would be different this time!" She whined to Angel. Angel tried comforting her but she just stormed upstairs. I looked over at Alyssa who rolled her eyes in annoyance at Sofi-or was it me? But I smiled anyway.
"Hi, well you know I'm Bobby. But who are you?"
"I'm Alyssa, Ryaina's room-mate." I held out my hand for her to take.
"Well, uh, nice to met you." We both shook hands. "Wait…are you the one that thought Ryan how to cook?" I asked hopefully.
Alyssa smiled, "Yeah, that would be me." I smiled broadly and looked at Ryaina. +Finally I fell for a girl that can cook+
"Ryan, I really like this girl!" I joked, hoping Alyssa would hear me. Alyssa chuckled and Jack and Ryan smiled.
"Oh, sorry! Jack right?" Alyssa asked holding out her hand to Jack.
Jack took it and smiled, "Yeah, how do you know us?"
"Well, Ryan as you call her, told me everything about you guys. Everything from how you all came to Miss. Mercer to how you all left and then everything in between." She laughed.
"Well Alyssa, I'll show you to where you'll be sleeping." Ryan said grabbing her bag+Where is she supposed to sleep? I wouldn't mind sharing a bed+ "Bobby you don't mind if she sleeps in your old room, do you?" +Damn, forgot about my old room.+
"No. Not at all!" Alyssa and Ryaina walked upstairs to my old room. Jack and I waited until the girls were out of earshot. When they were out of earshot I turned to Jack, "So, what is Alyssa I mean Ryan's room-mate doing here?" I asked.
Jack smiled that all knowing smile that is rare from him, "She's here to help us out. But it's not like you care anyways, right?" When I didn't say anything, Jack laughed. "You like her, don't you!"
"Yeah, and?"
>>>Ryaina's POV
Jack, Bobby, Alyssa, and I had been playing house hockey for the past hour and a half. Bobby and Jack on one team and Alyssa and I on the other.
Bobby wiped some sweat off his eyebrow, "Damn, Alyssa! I would have paired with you if I would have known you were good at hockey!" He said panting.
Alyssa and I smiled, "Good? I would say great!" I cried, giving Alyssa a hi-five.
"Well I'll see you all in the morning." Alyssa said. We all exchanged 'nights' and Alyssa went up to bed. I turned and smiled at Bobby, "So brother, do you like her?"
"Like her? He loves her!" Jack yelled. Bobby glared at Jack and hit him on the leg with his hockey stick. Jack winced and started to rub his leg. "Damn!"
"Good, because she likes you too, Bobby." I said walking upstairs to my room, Jack following me. I closed the door and Jack and I started laughing.
"My plan has worked! And with your help, too!" I said as Jack started to glare at me. We then went to bed, worried about what just might happen tomorrow.
>>>8:13 a.m.
I was dreaming peacefully with Jack's strong arm wrapped around my waist, when a light and the annoying voice of my brother woke me.
"Come on lovies, time to start back on the pay-back!" Bobby called to me and Jack. We both groaned. I was about to get up when I remembered I didn't have a shirt on. "Jack…go shut the door I don't have a shirt on…" I moaned. "Bobby's seen you in just a bra before. Why do you care now?" He said half a sleep. "Because, now it's awkward cause he's my real brother." Jack groaned and got up. Pushing Bobby out of the door and slamming it in his face. I got up and got dressed.
"I'm gunna go wake Alyssa." I groaned. When I walked out of the door, I could smell bacon and eggs. +Never mind. Alyssa's already up.+ Instead I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. Angel, Jerms, and Bobby were already eating. "Morning." Alyssa said.
"What are you doing up this early? You're never up this early!" I groaned. She turned to me.
"Jetlag…" She said simply. I laughed and sat down just as Jack came in.
"Whoa, real breakfast!" He said sitting down next to me and serving himself. "So what's the plan for today?" Jack asked with a mouthful of food.
Bobby looked up from his coffee, "We're going to the store where mom was shot." Bobby said going back to his coffee. Alyssa sat across from Bobby and started eating herself.
When we were all done, we all piled into Bobby's car. I had to sit on Jack's lap, not that he or I cared. I looked over at Alyssa and noticed she was smiling. "Uh, Alyssa why are you smiling?" I asked.
"I'm excited!"
"Well take the smile off your face. If you show any emotion besides anger, you wont be taken seriously." I said.
"Okay…" She said taking the smile off her face. Finally we pulled up to the liquor store and waited for the owner to open the store. He arrived seconds after us, "Err hello. May I help you?" He asked nervously.
"Hi sir, my mom was shot here a few days ago, and just wanted to ask you some questions." Bobby said
The man looked relived, "Oh sure. By the way, I'm sorry about what happened to your mom." The man said opening the store then going to the back to get something. He came back with a video. "The women might want to look away." He said popping in the tape. Alyssa and I glared at him as he started the tape. It showed mom talking to some kid and him running out of the store. Then she smiled to the clerk and walked over to the turkeys. That's when two men in ski masks flew into the store, guns raised like this was a simple everyday thing to them. Just watching the tape you could tell they were professionals, either gangster or a hired hit. But why would they be hired hit men? Mom jumped behind one of the isles as the clerk tried to talk his way out of being shot. But luck wasn't on his side tonight. The man took his money then shot him. Then they moved to the back of the store. Knowing mom, she didn't try and save her life, she scolded them. Something like 'Shame on you boys for everything you've done!' or 'The lord knows what you've done!' I saw the two men get ready to shot her, but I couldn't stand to watch. I looked down at the floor then over to Alyssa she was standing by Bobby and when mom was shot, she grabbed his hand. Bobby smiled down at her, but then got serious again.
"They were hit men! They were professionals, it was set up…" I whispered hoarsely. But everyone was able to hear me. Bobby asked the man about the guy supposedly playing basketball that night and we got a good description of him. We walked out side, "So what are we gunna do Bobby?" Angel asked, the anger dripping off his tongue.
"They set mom up! They set her up!" Bobby yelled as we all ran over to the rec. center. We barged into a basketball game. "What's the plan, Bobby?" Jack asked.
"We're wingin it."
"We always wing it!" Jack cried.
"Angel, Ryan, and Jack, watch for people. Jeremiah and Alyssa come with me." Bobby said walking to the center of the court.
"Man we're gunna get shot." Jack grumbled
"We, white boy?" Angel growled. Bobby stole the ball from a player and everyone started yelling at him. "I'm looking for who was playin basketball when the liquor store from across the street was shoot-up! The owner said the guy is a animal lover-afro-never wears a jacket. Anyone know him?" He yelled over the roar of the crowd. A kid in the back got up and ran out of a pair doors.
Jack and I dashed after him.
