A thick silence filled the car once we get in.
I am boiling on the inside, so to try and relief my anger I start the car and grip the steering wheel in a death grip. I hate myself for terrifying Magnolia like this, but I had to. I had to get her out of there, but mostly I had to get myself away from Maddox. He dared to insult my little sister. I could have busted his head right there in the middle of the food court, but I don't want Mags to see me like this. She would be scared of me.
"I am sorry Mags." I sight heavily after a few minutes of driving in silence. "I just had to get you out of there. There aren't good guys." I pause to see if she would say anything, but nothing came. She is blankly looking outside the window, her hands nervously fidgeting on her lap. What have I done.
"Look you are probably wondering who these guys were and what they wanted from me. So the only thing I have to say to you is that I gamble." I state simply and soon in the corner of my eyes I see her head turning to look at me, confused. " I make deals for money and mess with the wrong people. I bet and gamble." I wait for her to react, but she just listens to me her big green eyes staring at me so I continue.
"Maddox lost 10 grand on a pocker game against me and didn't appreciate it so much. I am good at these sort of things, which makes people loath me. They want to take revenge in any way possible after losing against an 18 year old like me you know ? I-... listen I know I am not the best brother here by setting an example of me like this, but please don't hate me for doing this." I am honestly scared of her reaction. Maybe she doesn't see me like the same brother any-...
"Bring me with you." She simply spills out these words which makes me tense.
"W-what ?" I stutter. Did I hear her well ?
"Bring me with you to your next bet or gamble Grey." She states again and I can't help myself to stop the car ok the side of the road to make sure she is not bluffing.
"Didn't you just listen to what I said ? It's dangerous Mags !" I reply as I feel my protectiveness side for her come out.
"I know ! Trust me I know it better than you actually think" What the hell does she mean by that ? " But I want to get to know you. All of you. If that is what you like then let me see your world..." she trails off and I shake my head vigorously at her proposition.
"No Magnolia. It is too dangerous. I have already been in so many difficult situation and I don't want you to get involved in any of this. You have been through enough already !"
"But..." I cut her off before she can even continue.
"No. I am not coming back to my decision. End of discussion." I coldly say, and as soon as my words leave my mouth it feels like the temperature in the car dropped. I push her away when she tries to know me better. I have no choice. I need to keep her safe from all of this.
