Chapter Two

Lincoln let out a sigh as he was standing outside in the cold, he put his hand into his jacket and pulled out a marlboro cigarette pack, he put the pack back inside his jacket after he got a cigarette out from it, putting it in his mouth he lid it up and took in a deep breath of precious nicotine, and it made his entire body relax, he slowly turned around and looked at the little mosque that was currently at prayer, it was a pretty little mosque builded in modern arabic design, he didn't know how old it was or who build it...he never asked, maybe he should ask rifat's parents when they come out, and looking at the time on his phone should be soon, and just when he looked up from his phone he saw alot of people making their way out from the mosque, and he got ready for the big hug that was coming.

"Oh lincoln it's you!" it was rifat's mom, and once she saw him came running at a speed that a older woman shouldn't have, he opened his arm and she fell right into him giving him a big hug, he laughed as the older women was giving him hug like a mother who hadn't seen her kids in years.

"Hello mrs Munira it's good to see you again!" he laughed out as he was hugging the older women, "Don't choke him women!" lincoln heard a old man yell at them, and that was the reason the older women let him go, it was rifat's dad Arif, who came over to give his own strong hug to lincoln, and lincoln was more then happy to return the hug, it was funny lincoln didn't know why, but the jabara family had taken him in as their own, but he wasn't complaining at all...they were good people, maybe rifat had told them how many times lincoln had saved his life? when arif was all done hugging him was it rifat's turn to hug him, but this hug was special, since lincoln joined the wasp raiders him and rifat had been close, when rifat pulled away from lincoln there was only one person left who needed a hug, it was rifat's little sister who was fifteen years old Farah, who came up to lincoln with the biggest blush on her face, all of them knew they she had a crush on lincoln, she gave lincoln a gentle hug, and lincoln had to hold back from laughing hugging her back, he could feel her trying to pull him into a even stronger hug, he almost had to fight her off until rifat pulled her off him.

"It's so good to see you lincoln! rifat why didn't you tell me that lincoln was coming!?" she turned to yell at her son, but before he could say anything back she turned back to lincoln with a big smile, "Look how thin you are! don't they feed you at all in the army?" lincoln knew why she said army and not mercenary, she wasn't happy that her son or lincoln were mercs at all! it was a sad story why rifat had joined up with the wasp raiders...it was because of his father who needed a Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting...and his family didn't have the money needed for it at the time, so if rifat hadn't joined his father wouldn't be alive right now.

"No they don't mrs munira, could i maybe have some of your delicious cooking?" lincoln asked with a sly smile, he knew she wouldn't say no, in fact if he hadn't asked she would have asked him if he wanted to come over for dinner...this way he made her happy, and when he saw how happy she looked he knew what was coming next, "Of course you can! come come i'm gonna make so much food you will never feel hungry ever again!" she started to pulled lincoln over to their car, forgetting that lincoln had come in his own car, but lincoln didn't have the heart to stop her.

It made him forget how much he missed his own family...but only for a moment.

Timeskip

Welp munira wasn't kidding, he was pretty sure that he never needed food again! but oh man her cooking beat frozen food, and she had packed the leftovers for him so he didn't need to make any food for the next couple of days, and sitting with rifat's family made lincoln feel happy, he hated being alone in his little apartment, lincoln couldn't stand loneliness...but he couldn't make himself open more up to people, and rifat knew this so he always made sure that lincoln wasn't alone, but today he had to give some sad news to lincoln.

"So lincoln me and my family are going on vacation to Gaza to visit some family in a couple of days, so we won't be home for three weeks" rifat said with a little bit of a sad voice, lincoln could tell he didn't want to leave him alone for so long...lincoln could feel the pain in his chest build up, but he held it down and gave rifat the best fake smile he could.

"Hey that is great! remember to take alot of pictures for me to see when you get home bro!" lincoln said with a fake happy tone, but rifat could see he was clearly lying, with the way he was looking at him.

"You know lincoln you are welcome to come along" rifat said with a gentle smile, and he was joined by his family who also give lincoln big smiles of their own, lincoln could feel the tears wanted to fall free from his eyes, could he really go with them? would it really be okay for him to join them, and for a moment he saw his family in them, he so badly wanted to go with them, he could feel his heart screaming at him to say yes...but he didn't want to impose on them...he didn't want to be a burden on them, so with a heavy heart he shook his head.

"Thank you so much for the offer, but i don't want to impose on you guys, this is your family trip...thank you so much for having me over mrs and mr jabara but i need to go home, i have some work i need to get done" he lied through his teeth, he went around and gave each of them a quick hug before he grabed the food for him and left, never giving them a chance to say anything, so he didn't see the sad looks they gave him, or the worried look rifat was giving the door he left through.

Different Location

Lincoln was slowly walking home to his apartment, he could have used his car but he wasn't in a hurry to go home, he could feel the tears slowly fall down from his eyes, but he kept rubbing them away, he could feel his self hatred grow, he shoudn't be sad! there were only going to gone for a little bit he could handle it! he stood still for a moment and hit the wall beside him, lincoln couldn't understand how he could be this weak, but he had to stop those bad thoughts when he heard someone scream for help, he rushed down the alleyway to find out what was going.

Lincoln saw a elegant looking woman with pale skin laying on the ground bruised, surrounded by three mean looking girls wearing punk outfits, one of them holding a pink baseball bat looking ready to hit the poor woman, "So bitch you think you can be on OUR territory!? hmm i don't like how pretty you are, i think few hits with my little bat here will fix that right up!" she sang out as her friends started laughing, the woman started crying, begging them to not hurt her, but that only made them laugh harder.

Just as the girl with the bat was about to swing the bat down on the poor woman, lincoln had rushed in and grabed the bat before it could land a hit, now holding the bat he used it to push the leader punk down on the ground, the leader looked up in shock at lincoln who had now taken control of the situation, the two punks behide the leader had pure fear on their faces as he just came out of nowhere and they looked ready to run, so lincoln swong the bat hard against the wall making them run as fast as they could, now alone the leader started to crawl backwards trying to get away from him, but he grabbed her by the hair and made her lay still, looking deep into her eyes, he could see the tears fall from her eyes...she was scared of him.

"You listen to me, if you ever come here again i will make sure you never walk again, got it?" lincoln asked her, and the girl nodded as fast as she could, and with that lincoln let her go, watching her stand up and run after her friends trying to catch up with them, he let out a sigh and dropped the pink bat on the ground, turning around he walked over to the crying woman who looked up at him like he was somekind of superhero.

"Hey you okay? can you stand?" lincoln asked the woman who had beautiful light brown hair, lincoln wasn't sure but it was almost like he had seen the woman before, but he wasn't sure where he had seen her before, the women took his hand and tried to stand up, lincoln could clearly see that her leg was hurting.

"Do you live nearby or do i need to take you to the hospital?" lincoln asked looking around to make sure that the girls were not coming back.

"N-no i don't live nearby, i was just on my way home from visiting my friend's, and d-dont take me to the hospital! i'm not hurt enough for that and i don't want to pay a huge bill for nothing" she laughed the last part out.

"Well i live nearby, if you want i could take you there so you can rest until you feel better" he said to her with a gentle smile on his face.

But the girl looked at him with total shock in her eyes, and lincoln wasn't sure if he had said anything wrong, but then she would say something that lincoln didn't know at the time but it would change his life forever

"No way...l-lincoln is it really you!?" she yelled out, lincoln couldn't understand how she knew his name until his brain did a search history check,

"Jordan!" he yelled right back at her, his turn to be in shock

Timeskip

Jordan relaxed as lincoln finished applying a bandage to her leg, she had hurt it after trying to run away from those punks, he gave her leg one last check before he smiled at her, "Welp you don't have to worry about your leg! it should be fine after a few days of rest, but i wouldn't try and walk on it, do you have anyone that can pick you up? if not then you are more then welcome to stay here for the night, tomorrow i can go and get my car and drive you home myself" he asked her, and jordan wasn't sure why she felt so...happy the way he was looking at her, or the feeling in her chest, but she had to push those thoughts aside...all her friends would be sleeping right now, and she couldn't ask her parents back in royal woods to drive all the way to detroit just to drive her home to her apartment.

"N-no i don't have anyone that can drive home...can i-i stay w-with you" jordan cringed by the tone of her voice, what was wrong with her! she was acting like a school girl! but then he gave her that gentle smile that made her blush a bit, she was so happy that she could play this off as being shy later if he asked, jordan began to lay down on his sofa that she had been sitting down on while he was fixing her leg, she also carefully moved her leg so she didn't hurt it anymore, but just when she got comfortably on his sofa, lincoln picked her up and held her bridal style, and without thinking she wrapped her arms around him.

"W-what do you think you are doing!?" she yelled at him with now a huge blush on her face, but he just laughed at her!

"Your not sleeping on my sofa silly...you get my bed and i take the sofa" and without her getting a say, he carried her to his bedroom and slowly and carefully layed her into his bed.

"There we go! now just give me a call if you need anything, and don't worry about me sleeping on the sofa...it's not often that i sleep well so i will probably be up for a while" lincoln said with a smile jordan didn't like...it was a sad kinda smile.

"Lincoln are you s-sure you can take the sofa? this is your home i should be the one to sleep on the sofa not you" but he just shook his head and gave her one last smiled, and with that he left the room leaving her alone to her thoughts. for a while jordan just layed in his bed looking around his bedroom, and she couldn't help but notice how empty is was...not that she thought about it the same goes for his entire apartment...was lincoln poor? no this apartment complex was cheap that much she could tell, and what happened to lincoln? it was almost like he had been in a war or something.

But one thought that came to jordan that made her cheeks red, was this place could use a woman's touch...and she had so many ideas that could make this place look amazing! for starters maybe a bigger bed.
