XX -me or fayre-

TW- violence

Aldrin Ledger

"knock" i order to zakai

he nods and knocks firmly on the door. there is shuffling before we hear "who's that?"

i grab the guy we brought and drag him by the collar to the door. i punch him in the stomach to tell him to speak what we need. he did

"jay....it's me. open up. i need to hide" he said hoarsely. he was in a rough state with gashes and bruises on his whole body. serves him right

we hear a click of the lock and i move to stand in the front. as soon as jay sees it's all of us, his eyes widen and he raises his gun at me. his hand was shaking and i smirk. it was easy to take the gun from him

jay swears. i smile devilishly at him "let's talk like civils" he gulps

civil meant him tied to a chair in his own apartment. i moved closer to him and punch him

"that's for messing with fayre" i say. then he surprises me by laughing. i snarl at him

jay looks up at me with a smirk and a swelling jaw "it was worth it. i enjoyed it. she really is a beautiful thing, isn't she?" he was mocking me, i knew it and i wasn't gonna give it to him

"now tell us where your leader is" i say and cross my arms

he chuckles again "you really think I'm gonna be as easy that piece of shit?" he motions to the guy we bought from him gang "how did you even get to him?" jay asked

i smirk "i had him for a long time. you all assumed he was dead but no, i had him. and look he finally came handy"

jay looks at the guy with a snarl who just looks down "i always knew you were a piece of shit"

before they can start fighting, i cut them off

"you both can talk about that later, once you both are there" i point to the ground. the guy's eyes widen and jay doesn't seemed surprise but he was scared too, i can see it

i point to zakai and another of my men. then i watch as they beat the shit out of jay

10 minutes later i stop them both

"you wanna talk now?" i smirk at jay as blood came out of both his nostrils and his face was bruised

he laughed "i. am. not. talking." he paused after every word.

my smirk drops, i was disappointed but not surprised. this Andromeda seems to have some strong trust in her gang. " well ok, how do you wanna die?" i ask instead

"oh how considerate of you" jay spat "but i wanna see him die first" he gestured to the guy on the ground

he starts shaking and begging. i don't think twice before shooting him in the head and watched as his blood pooled the tiled floor

then i turned to jay

"how about that?" i ask. jay nodded

"at least i will be laughing at you when Andromeda finally kills you"

i click my gun "well that's not happening" i shrug

jay laughed but it was strained "well then fayre will have to die"

a gunshot goes off and i don't even realise it was from my gun. it hits jay in the throat

i just walk away, knowing zakai will take care of everything. i get in my car and drive home. we got one thing from this meeting-

Andromeda wants me or fayre. if i die, fayre would live

when i get home, don't see anyone so i call out to fayre. she comes out of my room shushing me "i just put edwin to-" her eyes widen when she sees me

"what?" i ask

"whats- is that blood?" she says pointing to my collar

i look at the mirror in the hallway, sure enough there was blood on my collar "shit, don't worry it's not mine. everything is ok" i assure her. i would hug her but i don't want the blood to get on her

"please go change" she says and she turns around

i nod "ok, I'll be back"

once I'm out, i see her sitting on the couch with two hot chocolates.

"thank you" i kiss the top of her head as i take my cup

she nods and i take a seat too. i drink from my cup and gather my thoughts

"so...." i start

"if you're tired, we can talk tomorrow" fayre assures me

i shake my head and smile "it's fine"

"so i didn't tell you about someone else really important person in my life before you. nathan's sister"

fayre re-crosses her legs on the couch

i clear mt throat "when we were 11 i think, nathan's dad remarried. we both hated his step mom and vivian too for no reason really, i don't know why he hated his step mom but i hated her because nathan did. then we found out vi was getting bullied at school. we helped her and Nathan then decided to take her into our 'group'. i agreed. then i realized i had a thing for vi"

"you mean you liked her?" fayre asked

" i didn't want to like her. it would just complicate things and vi had a boyfriend so there was no win. so i thought it would be better if i just leave the situation alone"

i drink another sip

"then 3 years ago, vi was in senior year and i was out at work when nathan called me. some gang had kidnapped vi and we were gonna save her. but by the time i got there, she was already gone." i pause as everything comes back to me "and that was the day nathan got shot"

i don't look up at fayre till she speaks up

"it's the same gang isn't it?" she asks

i nod "yeah,"

i hear her sigh and i close my eyes

"did you make your mind?" i ask

when i look up at fayre to see her looking down at her cup

"yeah, I'm not leaving you. i don't think i can ever" she says and looks up at me with a smile

i smile back "thank you"

"can i help, with this?" she asks and i shook my head

"just please take care of yourself, i will be fine" i say and kiss her. after a week

"how was living with edwin?" i ask

she huffs "don't even ask" i laugh
