the truths out

You felt your heart drop. Your own friend, someone you knew for years without even knowing. Your friendship gone into pieces as simple as that.

You wanted to cry so badly, but you couldn't. Eventually, the tears couldn't control themselves. They were freed, one tear after another.

"Listen. I'll talk to you soon. I want to spend more time with Y/N. Just know, you won't kill them with me in the way."

"Son, don't tell me, you're in love-"

Before the voice could finish his sentence, Karl quickly ended the call.

Karl turned around. His eyes immediately shot up and his legs began to walk towards you in worry and guilt. "Y/N. I can explain. "

You were dumb-founded. Why did he do this? Did he know we were childhood friends and was planning to kill me? What does our friendship mean to him?

Karl came closer, about to place his arm around you. You pushed his arm aside and backed away. "Karl. Leave me alone."

His eyes showed regret.

You felt a wave of guilt, but you knew you had to leave. He was trying to kill you, how could he explain that?

"Can we please talk Y/N? I want to explain everything. It's not what you think." he begged.

Watching him close to tears hurt you. You gave him one last look before trudging away outside. You shut the door in anger, all the tears finally leaving and your body slightly trembling. Your mother noticed you were sitting outside of the door weeping, she immediately ran to you.

"What's going on?" she says.

"You know that guy? Felix? That's Karl Jacobs. From Mexico."

Your mother blinked again, trying to understand what you just said. "It can't be. Karl Jacobs?"

You nodded your head.

Karl managed to get the door open. "Miss (Y/L/N. Please, I want to explain everything."

He looked like he was being sincere. You wanted to know why as well, so you finally decide to let him.

"Young boy, don't tell me you're like your father."

Karl sat down next to you as your mom left the area. "You might remember, a few months ago. Pepper spraying someone, right?"

Oh yeah, you remembered. You pepper sprayed someone because they were going to attack you and your friend, a great reason to kill someone.

"Yeah."

"Well, I joined my fathers gang, Venom. You remember Thomas, right?"

"Yeah."

Hold on, Venom? Didn't Alex mention this gang? How they're his rivals?

That's when you realized, Alex is Lex, your childhood friend. Alex was your childhood friend! Wait, then that means Karl and Alex are rivals.

They're planning to kill each other.

"Karl, does this mean you and Alex are rivals now? What happened?" you respond, worried.

"I'm sorry Y/N, he killed my mother and said that I killed his father. Plus, he has money to pay us. Alex is different now."
