𝐋𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐕𝐈𝐈

"Don't come in here unless you have something to tell me about where Riley is with my son or you found something on Ying Lee," Xerxes spoke as his cousin walked in, causing Leah to stop at the door. She looked at him and then back out the door before coming in, shutting it behind her.

"Is it a crime for me to want to know how my cousin is doing?" She asked as he slowly shook his head, finishing up his work. "I know I said somethings I shouldn't have after all of this when down, but I don't blame you. How can I? I was no better. I will say this. It was both of your faults... but you and Riley will be okay. Won't you? I have seen you two go to hell and back but always be okay. You will find your way back to each other...."

"Stop lying to yourself, Leah. You're too old for that shit. Like I tell everyone else, I will always love Riley, but there is no way I can be with her. We're toxic, and too many people have died or gotten hurt because of it. I'm tired of the games. I want to be at peace, and some of her actions are unforgivable. I'm sorry, but it's not coming back from this."

"You're not thinking about killing her, are you?" She spoke, making Xerxes look at her like she was crazy. No matter how mad he was at Riley or how much he hated the things she had done. There was no way he could kill her. Xerxes would let her kill him thousand times over before he harmed her.

"No! I said I couldn't forgive her, not that I wanted her dead. Maybe one day, Riley and I can become friends again. Right now... for this moment, it's best if we stay our distance and co-parent whenever I find her. I don't care about her and Tobias if she wants a man beating on her. That's her, but I want to know my son is safe."

"Well, I will do what I can to find them. So, you and Amoy... are you in love with her?" She questioned as Xerxes cocked a brow. He liked her, and she was his girlfriend love wasn't there. "You don't have to answer that. Jamon and I argued about your relationship. He thinks you're wrong to continue with her, but I like her. She was bold and did something I would have done. Sometimes you have to go for what you want. She's good for you... but you need to open your eyes, X. For Eleven months, she's been by your side while Riley has been in another man's bed. Your relationship might have started a few months ago, but she loves you. It's all over her face...." Leah smiled as he scratched his arm, staring at his cousin opening and closing his mouth, trying to think of something to say, but she beat him to it.

"And another thing, all that shit Riley was throwing in your face about you cheating before. I want to know how when you two weren't even a couple yet. Riley was the one following you around, begging you to be with her, and yes, you were sleeping together and what others couldn't see. You weren't a couple. It was called friends with benefits. Before you made her your girlfriend, all of it stopped, and you never slept with another after. That is what should fucking count. You were faithful, but the demon on her shoulder whispering in her ear stopped her from seeing it. Mariah has always been the enemy. I hated the day she met her. However, if you want to be with Amoy, be with Amoy. It's your life, and everyone else can suck it."

Xerxes laughed as his cousin stood and walked over to him, kissing his forehead as Xavier walked in without knocking as he always did. It was long before he noticed his shadow by the name of Elias, who Xerxes knew was about to say some fucked up shit. The boy was high, and it showed all over his face.

"We fucking incessant now?!" He yelled as Xavier high ass laughed. Xerxes and Leah shared a look before she picked up the nearest thing throwing it at his head. Quickly Elias caught it with a smirk. "Gotta move faster than that old woman."

"You're just like your jackass father. I may act crazy, but I'm not that fucking crazy... don't stop yourself from finding happiness X. If it's not with her, find someone that will do the job for you. We are still young no matter what these little fuckers here say." Leah says before turning to fucking with Xavier and Elias before leaving. She wasn't as crazy as her mother, but she did have some of the same problems she did while she stopped in front of the two to fuck with them.
