Something happened 3 years ago to Aldrin Ledger,
Something he doesn't like to talk about
He lost his best friend and the girl he always wanted to be with but couldn't, but he took their revenge
Now after 3 years, life seems to be looking good for h...
its been 2 months- we found out carl and lily were having a baby boy and i was having a god son. i haven't seen fayre- that day i texted her so she can save my number and after that we texted often. we were still hung on that date though
dinner, i meant dinner
we couldn't meet up as fayre had exams and after that she had to go home to her family who lived in Alabama and i was busy with the gang attacks
yes they were still at it and we still haven't stopped them. i was furious now and decided to take things in my hand. soon after i started looking over the operation- they stopped. i wasn't stupid enough to think they were scared off. they were just laying low for a while.
i picked up my cup of coffee and waited for carl to call me about some news. he had been really busy as he was also looking for a job outside the gang. he was really pressured right now and i knew that, i tried to cut him some slack but i couldn't find a right time for it.
"sir, here's the list of attacks and all the damage caused" i nodded at carl and finally had a good look at him. he had bags under his eyes. he had them before- especially when him and lily broke up but those went away when he was married but they are back
i groan internally as i realized i had to make small talk with him in attempt to make him feel better. it's all for your godson. i told myself
"so- um carl- how's everything?" i asked and tried to remove my ever-present furrowed brows
he looked at me weirdly "it-everything is great"
i nodded "how's lily and the baby"
a smile came over his face like it was involuntary "lily is amazing and the baby is healthy"
i nodded again "great. that's great." i was very uncomfortable with the conversation
carl laughed "i appreciate you trying to help me feel better, but i swear aldrin I'm fine."
i sighed "I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for my god son. i cant have him get a burnt-out father," i tell him with a bored tone
carl laughed and went to leave. my phone pinged and i looked at the text
"on second thought- you can go home. I'm leaving as well" i tell him while still looking at my phone
"everything fine?" he asked and i nodded
"just have a dinner with someone important" i told him and glared at his smirking face

i park my car and get out to sit on the bench of the bus stop. i send a text to fayre that I'm here and wait patiently.
soon i heard footsteps and turned to look her walking over to me. there was something different about her- she dyed her hair
