Bree

Bodies. Bodies. There were so many, then someone shot that guy. Fuck what have I gotten myself into. I get out of Ryle's bed. My body is sore and my head is pounding. So much happened yesterday, it's hard to process. There are clothes folded on the dressers I assume they are for me to wear today. I pull on the green jumper, then the skinny black jeans. I walk into his bathroom to wash my face, there is a makeup bag with brand new stuff in it. I put on some mascara and concealer.

I build up the courage to walk down stairs. I am terrified but I'm not going to let them see that. I hear voices in the kitchen and walk towards there, I don't know what it is with these guys hanging out in the kitchen all the time. When they see me they silent. "You have got some serious explaining to do".

Woah. Well that was a lot I kinda regret asking. "So your telling me your the leaders of the mafia the men in that room are all criminals who deserved to die and I'm in danger because my family is in on this and my hand was promised in marriage to many different men. Is that it or did I leave anything out" I asked in disbelief. "Yep that's about it" Ryle said making about 2 seconds of eye contact before looking down. They all have a guilty expression there must be more to the story.

"So what was it just luck that ended up with people that could protect me"

Ryle
She asked. We can't tell her all of the truth she will think that what we have with her was all fake. At first it was just so we could make our claim on her which would make some people back off. But it's more than that now I think Liam and I are starting to like her more and more each day. I can tell Kade may be starting to feel something as well it may take a bit longer but I can still see it. If we told her she would probably have a hard time ever believing we have genuine feelings for her. So it's best just not to say.

"Yes you got every lucky that day if we hadn't found you one of those men you were promised to would have" Kade told her in a harsh tone. He was thinking the same as I was. "Why were you at a school with guns in the first place" Bree asked us. I answer before the others " a friend of a friend was having some issues with a teacher and asked us to sort it out".
"This is a lot to take in" she kind of looked scared as she said it.
"We know sweetheart but try and work with us here. You will have to stay so we can protect you, and I think I can speak for all of us when I say we might actually be starting to get feelings for you". Liam spoke to her. Brees eyes lit up and for a spilt second all the fear and uncertainty towards us went away.

"Well if I have to stay I might as well expect that you guys are just trying to keep me safe" she half smiled. "Now can we have breakfast I'm starving" she said looking at me with big puppy dog eyes. "What would you like baby" I looked down at her. With no hesitation she said something that shocked us all a bit "you"
