You promised || DREAMNOTFOUND

CENTUM NOVEM

this was going to be a long night.

"hey welcome back" reyna giggled slightly and put her hand on my arm for a moment, giving it a slight squeeze before returning back to George, who stood directly Infront of me while we where in this little circle.

"what happened?" George asked innocently, like he was trying to put me in a hard spot.

"my brother got sick and I had to take him outside" I smiled and stared at him for a moment, staring into his eyes.

now when you normally look at someone, you see whats on their face, how they are feeling, but when you are in this line of business, you know how to read people. and seeing that look, that emotion behind georges eyes scared the shit out of me.

"you where gone for half an hour, midnights in a couple minutes" he turned his head and looked towards the large timer that sat on top of the balcony, revealing midnight was literally in two minutes.

"jesus" I exhaled and shook my head, trying to get rid of any emotions left behind.

"dream, look who I just found" nicks voice erupted from behind me and I quickly spun around, seeing he was slightly 'tipsy' yet again but this time he had punz in his arms.

improvise. you always have to improvise when something goes wrong. punz is my friend, ill say it as that.

"oh my god I didn't know you where coming?" I laughed and shook his hand, revealing he was just as confused as I was.

"whos this?" Bruno asked with a smile on his face, oh sweet jesus Bruno was punz's cousin.

"Bruno meet my friend-" I cut myself off because I didn't know what to refer him as.

"luke" punz put out his hand, accepting brunos hand shake gracefully.

I snapped my head to face him again and saw nick doing the same thing. yes we all called punz, well punz, but we all knew it wasn't his real name. when he was a child, whatever happened and when he met phil, he practically changed his name, his credit cards, bank accounts, everything was in the name punz. and hearing his real name was something new. but what worried me a little bit, is that reyna knew him. she knew what his real name was. however bruno? I had no idea if he knew and that's what made me nervous.

"its nice to meet you luke" bruno smiled warmly and turned back to reyna, inviting punz into our little circle

"the hell are you going" I mumbled towards him, him getting the idea.

"phil" he said bluntly before talking with bruno once more.

suddenly everyone started counting, the crowd all as a whole, they started at 15.

I looked at George and he gave me a soft smile, but it soon snapped to a stone cold face, and he turned back to reyna, now counting out-loud with her.

nick and punz where looking at each other, then up to me, I just shrugged and started counting as well, with bruno on my left, he was smiling crazily and counting like it was the last night of his life.

well, it kind of is. and I almost felt bad, like there was guilt pooling in my stomach. but it was so intense, so strong, that I dont think it was for bruno, rather for George.

the countdown slowly came to five, yes I was still counting out loud but my eyes weren't on the timer, they where on the side of georges head.

I saw his soft brunette locks, twirling around and falling to the side of his head with ever so much grace. his smile was large enough where you could see his slightly pointed ivory k-9s peeking from his pink flushed lips, which looked sore from all the talking and laughing hes had to do tonight.
