Chapter 23-Rebels & Lovers

Diana's POV

I couldn't believe I was in afterschool d-hall. Again. But if that fat chick didn't throw gum in my hair, then I wouldn't have punched her in the stomach. She's so lucky that it didn't stick to my hair. It would have been worse.

"Mrs. Martinez, your free to go." Mr. Jones dismissed me.

Driving towards my house, I called Jesse. We had things to talk about.

"Hey Jess? Can you meet me somewhere?" I asked him.

"Yeah. Where at?" He replied.

"My house. I live next door to Sasha. You know where that is?" I asked him. I knew he didn't but I was just making sure.

"Yeah actually. I was there earlier." He replied.

What? Why was he at Sasha's house? I guess I'll find out later.

"Oh. Well okay, but meet me at my house in ten minutes." I responded.

"Okay bye." He said. I hope he understands what I have to tell him.

Brian's POV

I cannot believe Lillian Rachel O'Conner! I told her not to go to the store and she went anyways! If Vince tells the rest of them she's my sister, I'm dead. If they knew I put her away for grand theft auto and arson, they'll kill me -- I thought to myself.

My sister wasn't the smartest person in the world. When she was 15, she began to hang with the wrong crowd. She started to really get into drugs and drinking. By the time she was 17, she was in juvy for vandalism and trespassing. I had to bust my own sister at the age of 19 for stealing cars and setting them on fire outside of peoples homes. Luckily, she only got a few years in prison. And the judge ordered her to stay with me, considering I WAS a cop. Now, I have to keep a 22 year old out of trouble or we are both in prison for a really long time. I can't fail to mention the fact that she's wanted by people uptown. Apparently, she owes the wrong people money and they are looking for her. They searched for her out in Arizona, so she moved down here with me like the judge ordered. And these people will stop at nothing to get her or their money. If they find out I'm her brother, they will know exactly where to look for me. She never did tell me who they with either.

Dom will not let a ex-con live in his house. Especially for stealing imports and trashing them. That was like committing the ultimate sin to Dom -- trashing a car. And he wanted to keep trouble away from the family -- Lillian's is the definition of trouble.

I had to get to Vince and Lily before the others find out anything. I decided to walk over to the store.

"Hey Mia. Hey Letty. Sasha." I greeted them all.

"Um Vince. We need to talk." I said hastily, tugging him by the shirt.

"What is it?" He so rudely put it when we were out of earshot from everyone else.

"Vince, you CANNOT tell anyone about Lily. At least not yet. Does Mia know?" I asked him.

"She's starting to put two and two together. I will not help the Buster!" Vince bellowed at me nastly, poking me hard in the chest for emphasis.

"You don't have a choice! Cause if you don't, your family, including Mia, will die! Now if anyone out of this family finds out that I'm her brother, some very angry men are gonna show up and it won't be pretty." I explained to him. I noticed his face light up with different expressions: anger, worry, defeat.

"Whatever. You keep your sister away from my family O'Conner!" He roared at me. He gave me one last menacing look and turned back for the store.

Diana's POV

I sat on myporch awaiting Jesse's arrival. I could barely notice the white and blue Jetta come flying around the corner. It pulled up in front of the house and out stepped the most beautiful creature God has put on Earth.

There Jesse was. Wearing a baby blue tee shirt with black geans and a black vest over his shirt. He had on a black and blue beanie and his shades on.

He stalked up the porch steps, stopping on the third of the five steps.

"Think we could go to the park?" I asked him, walking down the first step.

"Yeah let's go." He replied, motioning for me to walk ahead of him. He jumped down the stairs and hopped to the passenger door, which he opened like a gentleman. I nodded a thanks to him and waited for him to get in. We drove a couple blocks down to the neighborhood park. It was always abandoned for the children went to the amusement park uptown.

Jesse jumped out the drive side and ran over to the passenger side and opened the door for me again.

"Thank you." I smiled at him.

We walked over to the swings and sat next to each other. There was an akward moment of silence for awhile, until I decided it was time I quit procrastinating.

"So, do you have a girlfriend?" I asked him, turning my head slightly.

"Nope. The girl I like, likes someone else." He replied sadly. He looked down at his feet as he continue to swing slowly.

"Really? Why don't you talk to her about?" I sincerely inquired.

"I don't know. Nervous I guess. She doesn't like me like that." He responded, taking his shades off and sticking them in his vest pocket.

"How do you know?" I questioned, staring at the sky.

"Well, do you like me?" He asked, catching me completely off guard. I looked up at him for the first time in the conversation. He was staring at me with loving eyes. His deep green eyes pierced into my soul like daggers. It felt like he could see into my soul. Like he could feel everything I felt.

"Yeah Jesse I do. Alot. That's what I wanted to tell you. This past month hanging out with you have been some of the best times of my life and--" was all I said before I was cut off by Jesse tender lips on mine.

I felt like I was floating. Nothing felt so good.

When we pulled away from the kiss, Jesse had the biggest grin on his lips. It was adorable. Maybe I'd found my true love.
