Chapter 8 – Say What? (Part 2)

Azrael's POV-

I walked back into the living room and retook my place by Vi's side.

"I'll be damned if Cleo gets involved with anyone here because if she gets hurt, I'll be forced to kill them." I mumbled as Vi just giggled and squeezed my hand.

"Alright, well, if that is all, I'm gonna go." Birk said from behind me as I heard him dart towards the elevator causing me to smirk.

"Are you insane like me? Are you deranged like me? Bought a $100 bottle of champagne like me. Just to pour that mother fucker down the drain like me."

"Baby, your phone." Vi said as she handed it to me.

"When did you- nevermind, hello?" I said.

"Az, its me." My mom said, sounding very solemn.

"Hey momma, what's wrong?" I asked as my mind began racing.

"Pop-pop died" She said as I felt my entire heart shatter into a million tiny pieces.

"No..." I said, alerting everyone.

"I'm sorry baby. Your father and I will be at your penthouse some time tonight." She said as the phone clicked.

I dropped my phone to the floor and just stood there, shocked and in pain.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Vi asked, sounding very very worried.

"My grandfather passed away." I said, still looking at the ground.

"WHAT?" I heard Asha yell but, I didn't look up.

Viola's POV-

I just stood there and looked at Azrael. She turned on her heel and began walking towards the elevator.

'I'll follow her.' I mouthed to the others as Shaundi ran to comfort Cleo and Asha.

I was lucky enough to catch the elevator before it shut. We rode it in an uncomfortable silence. She just stared ahead but, the look in her eyes showed she was going to break apart very soon.

"Viola, do not follow me. That's an order." She said as she walked out of the elevator and over to her Attrazione.

It kinda hurt to be called Viola by her but, I let it go because I knew she was hurting. I heard the car roar to life before she peeled out of the garage. I made my way over to my Temptress, "sorry baby, I'm disobeying orders but you can't break apart all alone again."

I pulled out onto the street and drove to the one place I knew she would go, where no one would bother her, "Mourning Wood Cemetery, hold on babygirl, I'm coming."

An Hour Later…
Azrael's POV-

I heard her heels clicking against the pavement of the sidewalk from about 50 feet away.

"I told you not to follow me Vi." I sniffled as I sat on the bench and stared at the tombstone in front of me.

"Rae, you may be the strongest person I know but, you still need someone there for you when you fall." She replied as she continued to walk towards me.

"He helped me in so many ways. I kept telling him that I would come back and visit him and I got so fucking busy and now look. He is gone.", I said before taking a deep breath, "He is the reason I'm so fearless because he taught me that you won't fear anything if you aren't afraid of fear itself. That's why I can run straight into gunfire and not care. That's what makes me the ideal candidate for The Leader of the Saints. I was more fearless than Johnny."

I felt her sit on the bench beside me and put her arms around me. The moment I felt her arms around me, I turned and wrapped my arms tightly around her. I buried my head in her neck and lost it. All the pain I felt from the previous year just came out. Losing Johnny, my grandmother, and now my grandfather, it all finally took its toll. Like Vi said, I may be strong but, I'm not invincible. After what felt like an eternity of crying, I finally lifted my head and kissed Vi's cheek. I buried my head back into her neck and just stayed like that because she was very comforting. After several minutes of just sitting there, I broke away and pulled out my phone.

"Rocco, I want you and Vince to drive out to Mourning Woods Cemetery and pick up Viola's Temptress." I said before hanging up the phone, not giving him anytime to respond.

"Let's go home, I need cuddles." I said as Viola just gasped.

"Holy fuck, I never thought I would ever hear you say anything that feminine." She said as I softly hit her arm.

"Thank you for following me Vi, last time this happened, things didn't go so well." I said as I looked down.

"What do you mean?" She asked as she just looked at me.

I lifted up my sleeve to show her the slice on my upper arm.

"After I visited my grandmother's grave, I drove to Purgatory, locked myself in the office, got completely drunk, and did that. I just told everyone that I got into a fight. Shaundi and Pierce knew better though." I said as I pulled my sleeve back down.

"Shaundi told me something bad had happened but, wouldn't tell me what." Vi said as she face palmed.

"No. No hitting your forehead, its beautiful. Just like the rest of you." I said as I pecked her cheek.

She smiled as we sat there in silence.

"I just can't believe he is gone. He survived so much with me. He was the one I went to when Carlos died. But, now, he is truly gone. Like..." I began to say before I just shut up completely.

Its hard for me to express emotion to anyone, even Viola. All my life, I've bottled everything up and let it out on random situations. I mainly let my anger out during missions because it seemed rational but, my lieutenants knew there was something deeper bothering me. That it wasn't just from the mission but, they never asked. I guess for fear I would snap on them as well.

"Come on, lets go home. Cleo and Asha probably need me." I said as I stood up and began walking towards my Attrazione.

Well, that's the chapter. Sorry it sucks, I wasn't sure exactly how to write about the death so, I tried my best. The next chapter will be better. I promise.
