Lost Heir

Chapter 4

Landon was in the mafia. Lizzi was not surprised when my faced chaged into confusion. She was use to it. That make me sad. It was my turn to open up.

"6 months ago my brother committed suicide. Jack his best friend found him in the locker room. Jack and I did not come out of my room until the funeral. We just sat there for days. Sophie came and gave us food twice a day. We talke sometimes but we could not face Sophie or my parents. Sophie could not understand that Nathan was gone. When I left Dad had gone soft on us and Mom became a rock and never let us out of her sight. I just want to find myself on this trip. After Nathan died everyone thought we were a disgrace to the town."

Lizzi face crumbles into sadness. She is about to cry. He she does I comeon to her bed and we hold each other until we fall asleep. I don't wake up until Landon comes in to wake Lizzi up with a prank. He stops when he sees my puffy eye and red nose. I am the world ugliest crying. That's why I never did cry in public or at the funeral. When I get up Landon says nothing. When I come out.

" we have a band meeting at 6 tomorrow morning. But are you ok?"

This is the first time he is nice tome and I wonder what has changed. I nod. But that's she wakes up. She looks between Landon and I. She has a confused look on her face. She ends up turns over and going back to bed. I wall over to my wardrobe and pick out some clean clothes. Landon face light up when I pull out jeans and a tank top and blue checked shirt.

"real countery girl we got hear"  comments Landon

" yes born and raised on that property, so was my father and his father before. So you can't say anything rich boy."

I pat his arm at the same time. I giggle come from Lizzi's bed
She was awake. I walk out and make my way to the band room. Lizzi yells after us. And says that Landin could learn a few things from me. This comment makes me smile. When I make you way to the room I also find the large library. Inside is huge. It's bigger then my house. I love to read, have stacked of books. Books I have never read over and over many times. I also have read every book in the town library. I must be dazed becasue someone claps thier hands to get my attention. A women, slim and jet blackhair stands behind me.

" you must Anna."  This woman is talking to me
" yes, that's right."
" Landon has asked you come to the house."

He has a house now. What now they carry guns like in the movies? I fallow her out to a nice 1963 Ford pick up. Dad has these kind of cars. He would of die if I drove it. Ash seems to pick up on my intreast. She tosses the keys towards me. I smile and thank her.

"it's his do if you crash you have to talk to him."

This is when she puts the directions into the GPS. The drive,is about 30 minutes to the house. when we pull up the house the gates open. Well I was right he was a rich, spoiled child. But this time i believed him but he did this him self he worked for it and I also respect working people. Two guys come racing down the stairs like 10 year old boys. I stiffle a giggle. They come and stand infront of us.
"that's Dom( the one on the left) and thats Andy."

They smile when Ash says thier names.
"don't worry they always act like 10 year old boys. Thier brains are the same way."

I smile at that. They seem like family here.  I amshown into a large kitchen. They start to pull things around. When they do things start to burn and this house is too nice for them to brun down. They start to talk.
Landon: you are friends with my sister witch means you a target. So youmwill go to classes and stay at the house on the weekends, and also we will train you in the school gym. Training starts tomorrow.
