Being done with someone isn't always easy. It's really hard to get over them... But sometimes... you need to lose someone to realize how truly important they are to you... But... Being away from someone and missing them, also makes you forget everyt...

I scratched my head, I hadn't gotten out of bed and had to cancel coffee with Kid. He wasn't happy about but I needed to find extra ways to make cash. Mom and Pops weren't doing so well because of his hospital bills. and Even though they were extremely well off, they had been using their savings on previous hospital bills from the war and everything in between. I was so tempted to make the call but if they found out they'd kill me. But with one win I could have like two Bills paid off! Nobody was really looking for a part-time bartender...
I picked up my phone, scrolling through my contacts. It didn't take long to find. The Old fart had an illegal fighting ring in his name. He didn't like it when I fought and nobody knew, made him worry too much. He was like a drunk uncle to me, but god knows that man can't get drunk. Ace whipped my bedroom door open. I was sitting on my bed still in my pajamas, he groaned, he had hoped I was still asleep.
"Whatcha lookin at?" He hummed, sitting next to me.
"Ways to help mom and Pops pay off the hospital bills..." I murmured, showing him the contact
Ace got up and shut the door before speaking, "Y/n. You know all of the consequences of doing that again. I do too, it's not pretty." He warned
"I know it's not Ace... It's just. My current job isn't paying enough to help out a whole bunch!" I whisper shouted.
"None of ours are, We aren't picking up a bunch of money from the uh, ya know." He gestured to the gang a bit
"Why not?"
"Because of Pop's health, no major alliances can be maintained properly" Ace sighed, laying down on my bed.
"Shit..."
"Next to Marco, who is also currently having money and some health problems... You're technically the next most capable to handle them." Ace looked at me with pleading eyes
"No. I'm done with that kinda life..."
"Says the one looking at talking to Rayleigh about joining illegal fights again." Ace deadpanned, "Listen, The gang needs 'The Ripper' Not Jack the Ripper... Jeez, I always hated learning about that guy in school. Gave me the creeps. Why'd you choose that name?" Ace was puzzled
"It's just an old promise I made to someone." I hummed, Law and I both had made a promise to Rip Joker's limbs off... a Silent promise he knew nothing about.
"Creepy. But okay-"
"Ace. If 'The Ripper' gets back in the game, You know who will know I'm back... You remember what he did last time.." I felt the scars on my back sting a bit, as well as the scar on my face...
Ace slid his hands down his face, "If you do the illegal fights he'll still know!" Ace threw his hands in the air
"...Shut up" I pushed his face away
"Please, for pops, just go to the meeting in Pops's stead?" Ace looked genuinely worried, I sighed, nodding my head
