Angel's POV
" So , after all these years I was talking to a gang leader ?" Layla says suprise.
" I am not their gang leader , not when I did not accept the position " I correct her .
I decided to tell Layla about my past . Nobody knows about it because the main purpose of coming here was to run away from it and since I am suddenly moving with Lucas , I have been interrogated by her and it is time I share it with someone .
" You are the heir . Your mum wanted you to take her place , it was her business so - "
" What the same position that killed her ? That place my dad in coma then paralyzed him? I don't want to be part from some gang " I snap at her . Layla stays silent and I start to feel bad " I'm do I shouldn't have snap -"
" I always wish I met your mother " she says suddenly" the way you always talk about her , sounds like a brave , strong , caring just like you "Layla continues changing the subject " And I'm sure she looked just like you too "
The picture of my mother appears in my eyes like a vision . Short dark hair, oval face with dark brown eyes with a smile always warm and welcoming , a tatoo of a flame on her forearm and silver necklace of an angel around her neck . " She did " I finally let the tears flow .
" I miss her s-so much , " Layla comes and embrace me " I wish she was here to tell me what to do . I don't know what would happen once I start staying with Lucas , he might be a serial killer for all I know . " we both chuckle at my last words .
" Hopefully , he is not . " Layla says wiping my tears . " You have been holding back for so long Angel you should let your self be vulnerable once in awhile . Let others be strong for you , not always other way around" she gives me a sad smile " And , I'm here for you , your Father and Rebecca is here for you too don't carry your weights alone . " I smile at her words It makes me feel better . " Thank you , Lay " she returns my smile " Anytime . Now let's pack your bags you journey awaits "
~~~
After a two hours of packing my bags , I start to load up the cars that Lucas sent for me and my suitcases . After loading up my last bag in the I start to say my goodbyes " Bye Rebecca " I say , has she squeeze the living thing out of me like she always does .
" Stop saying like we will never see you each other again " Rebecca says shaking her head ." I just don't know when I'll see you all next " I whisper embracing her just as tight savouring her warmth " you will see us , it will be very soon " she pulls away from the hug " And maybe , it will be with that boy of yours " she winks at me , I chuckle " why is everyone assuming something serious will happen between us " It might . He really likes Tesoro " I blush and let a smile play on my lips .
" You better call be every day I'm not joking " Layla points a finger at me , this habit of hers that she has " I will " I give her a hug . " Take care , Amore . " " you too . " I give her kiss on her cheek then I turn to my dad .
" Soit fort papa ,"( Be strong dad ,) I take his hand in mine . " Pour toi-même , pour moi et pour maman . " ( For yourself , for me and for mum . ) I smile sadly at him , knowing it will be hard for him . " Je serais , "( I will be , ) he smiles back " Soit forte , pour toi-même , pour moi ; " ( Be strong for yourself , for me ; my dad takes a shaky breath " et pour ta mère . ( and for your mother .) " a single tear
runs down his cheek .
My hand mindlessly touch the silver angel necklace around my neck , " toujours " ( Always )
