The faded voices of the gang cloud my mind as I stare into space. I stare at Roberto's now dried blood on my hands as ringing plays through my ears.
"Olivia", Mack says, touching me.
No response.
"Olivia", Kaine says, but still no response.
"She's in shock. I'll take her to her room. Y'all figure out how to get rid of the body."
Everybody nods in response. Mack picks me up bridal style and begins to carry me upstairs.
"Where's Gavin and Mackenzie? What about the party?"
"They're spending the night with his grandma. The party went well. We had to cut it short though."
"I must've blacked out."
He doesn't say anything. Instead he just keeps walking. We make our way to my room and shortly to the bathroom.
He softly puts me down on the counter and turns on the shower.
"I can step out if you want me to."
"You're fine. Just turn around."
He nods and does as told. I remove my blood stained clothes and get in the shower. Instead of standing, I simply slide down onto the shower floor and sit there.
Mack turns around and studies me. I'm not sure if he knows what to do.
"You can join if you like."
He nods and steps in the shower fully clothed. He sits besides and pulls me closer to him. Believe it or not, I find comfort in this moment. This is just what I need. I'm not saying that I haven't been through fucked up shit before, but this has to be the most fucked up predicament I've ever been in. Not only did a muhfucka try to kill me, but because of the choice I made, the mob is after me. Shii after my family too. What the fuck could I possibly have against a powerful mob?
My thoughts are interrupted when Mack grabs my hands. He grabs the soap and softly rubs it over my hands. The blood is moving from my hands unto the soap and into the drain.
This cleaning process goes on for almost an hour. Many may think it's weird but I found it calming. That's the most calm that I've been in a very long time.
Mack turns the shower off and gets out. He gives me a towel and I wrap myself in it.
"Get some clean clothes and I'll be back. Ight?"
"Where are you going?"
"I gotta dispose of the body."
"Oh...."
"Did you want me to stay?"
I smile a little. "I mean...kinda."
He rolls his eyes.
"Ight man. Just give me a minute."
