The Love I Deserved

Chapter 1: Welcome Back!

"Ray Mond! You're alive!" Said Yuno, my twin brother, as he approached me at the airport

Yuno is my long-lost twin brother. We crossed our paths here at Los Santos a year ago.

"I did not die, dummy. I just had some things to do outside of the city and I'm here for good now, ok?"

We walked through his car while catching up with him.

"Wow Yuno, you still have this Sultan? Is it the same one?"

"Yeah, well I have an LFA but I still need to save more money to make it legal so I cannot take it out yet, you know?" He replies as we enter his car and drive off.

"Aww, you're really moving up there, I'm so proud of you! I guess I should thank Lang for taking care of you. Anyways, what's new in Los Santos Buddy?"

"A lot actually, I will give you a tour later if you want me to. Oh! I almost forgot, there's actually some events happening around the city today, one of them is actually hosted by your gang."

My gang, right. Chang Gang or CG is the biggest and scariest gang in Los Santos. I was introduced to them when someone from their group took me under his wing on my second day in the city and taught me everything I need to know here.

"Oh really, What is it?"

"I think it's called Wuchella? Randy will be performing, he called me earlier and -"

"Did you tell him that I'm here?"

I cut him off after hearing his name. Randy Bullet, second in command of CG, my mentor, my friend, my day one, my ride or die, and nothing more...

"I kinda hinted at it and he might have taken it the wrong way. He invited me to that party, then I said that I might bring someone with me and he thought I'm bringing a girlfriend, can you believe it? You know what it's like for me Ray." He shrugged while farming.

"Yeah yeah, right. Girls aren't into you" I just rolled my eyes. If only he knew that he can easily get all the girls in this city with his charms and personality. Yuno is the sweetest criminal you will ever meet.

I noticed that we stopped at the CG's compound in Little Seoul. Should I really be here? I still feel that I don't deserve it, that I'm not worthy.

"Why are we here Yuno?"

"Don't you all live here?"

"Well, I don't." Then I looked down.

"Oh sorry my bad" I just smiled at him then he continued to drive towards the Alta Street Apartments.

"Here we are Ray Mond! Do you need some help?"

"Nah, just wait for me here."

As I entered my apartment, I stumbled on some envelopes by my door. There are some bills and letters from April, Mr. K, and Randy.

I opened April's letter first.

"GORL! When are you coming home? Please call me when you get back. I've been dying to see you. Love, April"

Oh, that reminds me, I need to go to the Digital Den to buy a new phone since I lost mine for the nth time. Next is Mr. K's letter. It is kinda odd since I don't see him as a letter guy, he is in fact the leader of CG.

"Ray,

Hope you are doing well! Call me once you get this, I need to tell you something important. - Mr. Kebun"

Okay, I definitely did not get nervous after reading that. Yes totally.

Hmm, I wonder what is inside Randy's letter.

"Raymundo!

Where the fuck have you been huh? 'You cheating on me? Jk, HMU when you get this I have something for you that you might like."

Cheating on him? What is he saying?

As soon as I finished unpacking, Yuno and I went to the Digital Den to buy a phone and then immediately called Mr. K.

"Mr. K! I missed you!!"

"Ray! I'm glad you're back!"

"Yeah, me too and I think I'm back for good now. I read the letter you left at my apartment. What is it about? Want to meet up?

"Oh yeah, come meet me at the cubby after the Wuchella. You can also come here to chill if you want."

"Sure thing, see you!"

As soon as my call with Mr. K ended, my phone rang and it was Randy.

"This is what it is now huh?"

"Uh? Hello? And what are you saying?"

"Bruh, you didn't call me!"

"I was about to call you dumdum! You really missed me that much huh Randymundo"

"Roight, roight. Come here at H&O there's a Wu Chang event"

"Yes I believe that is where I am going, I'm with Yuno"

"Oh okay. See you later then."

"Bye!"

As we are driving by... I was about to call April but then I saw her in a clothing store, and so I told Yuno so we could come and say hi to her first.

"April!!!!" I shouted inside the store. I don't care if everyone there will hear me.

"Oh my god, Ray?" She looked around and then a huge smile formed on her lips when she saw me.

"GORL!!!" We both screamed at the top of our lungs and hugged each other.

"You're back! I miss you! How's your trip?"

"It went well and looks like I'm here for good now. I was about to call you actually, but then we saw your LFA outside."

"As you should! Oh wait, do you know that there's a Wu Chang event later? Do you have something to wear?"

"I think I'm just going there like this." Then she looked at me from head to toe.

I'm just wearing a simple crop top, loose pants, and white sneakers.

"Oh no no no Gorl, let me take care of you."

"The fuck you mean by that?" I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Chill, I did not say you look bad, it is just not a very Wuchella outfit, you know? I'll look for something for you."

As April was searching, Yuno came out from nowhere.

"Ray, sorry I need to go. Mr. Lang needs me with something. Just call me when you need something, ok?"

"Wait, you're not going to the party?"

"Looks like it." He smiled at me and then looked at April. "April, take care of Ray for me, ok?"

"Hell yeah, of course, I will. Duh"

He giggled then tapped my shoulder as he walked away hastily. I'm just watching him speeding when April caught my attention.

"Here Gorl, wear this. So you can at least change your top?"

She gave me a white bralette top. I tried it on and honestly, I kinda liked it.

We went to Wuchella after buying the clothes.

"Come on Ray let's go! It's PARTY TIME!!!"
