Stronger Together

Chapter 77

Adriana's POV

I'm going to Raphael's house to hang out with him, Noah, and Conner.

Louise is back from her Olympic training camp which she said was "loads of fun but super exhausting". Tyler took her out for milkshakes which is a tradition he shares with her.

When she first started competing Ty would always buy her a milkshake when she won. If she lost he'd move heaven and earth to cheer her up since she was so hard on herself. I'm glad that they're spending time with each other more.

I just got to Maddox's house and I'm met with screaming. I let myself in and see Lucien red as a tomato

"I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF SHE WAS ON LIFE SUPPORT, IM NOT GOING BACK TO FRANCE FOR THEM!"

"Lucien we understand. No one is telling you to visit her but you have to go sign the forms because the company is yours now. It'll also be good for Sophie to have you there with her. That's a selfish thing to ask of you but she'll be very emotional when she finds out your father died and your mother is paralyzed from the waist down."

"Oh wow sorry for your loss." I told him causing him to scoff and roll his eyes

"I'm not. I only wish I was driving the truck myself."

"My bad then congrats."

"Thank you." he responded sincerely

"Lucien please refrain from saying that in front of Sophie?"

"Why is it that you care more about how she'll feel than me? Who the fuck cares? She's gonna be emotional and insensitive as soon as she finds out!"

"She doesn't know?"

"We just found out today. We're gonna go get her from camp tomorrow."

"Poor kid"

"Do you want me to call Louise over? She's back from surf camp and I'm sure no matter what your feelings are, you'd enjoy the company of a friend."

"It's okay, I can be mean when I'm emotional. I don't wanna hurt her again."

"Let me know if you change your mind."

"Lucien make sure you're packed by Friday."

"I'm not going to the funeral!"

"What about Soph? She needs you there and you need closure."

"I never got to see Quincy's grave. They didn't let me anywhere near the funeral. To this day I've never been able to give him a flower. Why would I show that piece of shit more regard than my own brother? He doesn't deserve my presence. If I go I'm gonna whip out my dick and take a hot piss on his grave in front of all the guests!"

"Give the Eulogy." I suggested

"Why on earth would I do that? I hate him!"

"Exactly. A eulogy doesn't have to be bullshit about how wonderful he was. Be honest. Let every person there see the man you endured behind closed doors. Even if it hurts Sophie you deserve closure of speaking out against him. You didn't get that when he was alive but you'll be able to tarnish the final memory all those guest will have. This is for you, no one else. I don't know what he did but I can tell by your behavior he's rotting in hell. Wear white to the funeral too, then piss on his casket."

"Oncle I'll only go if I get to give the eulogy."

"You can give the eulogy but there will be no pissing unless you're in the bathroom."

"Thank you Adriana!" Lucien hugged me

"Of course kid." I hugged him back

"I'm gonna go walk wrinkles." he excused himself
