Kade's POV

"So what she knows? She still likes you don't she?" Tommy asked
"She hates me" I grumbled
"She doesn't feel safe around me" I said, slowly sitting up
"She does know you're better protection than most around here right?" Elijah asked, leaning against the boxing ring

I shrugged
"She said she doesn't know me"
And that hurt
It really fucking hurt because I wasn't myself unless I was with her
She made me... nice
She made me soft, she made everything I said mean something

"Then show her she does know you" Tommy said simply
"How do I do that?"
"She thinks you're a killer, show her what kind of people you kill" he suggested
"I can't do that" I snapped
I wasn't exposing her to the kind of things they did
They would give her nightmares

"Well if she thinks you're a monster then you need to show her they're bigger monsters, that you did the world a favour taking those bastards out" he explained
"He's right" Elijah said
"In a way" he went on.

"Show her you're not a monster, that you're just some kid that's loved her since forever, your dad's business... that's not you, not really, sure you're in this world but it doesn't make you a bad guy deep down" Elijah explained.
Doesn't it?
"I beat up guys that were interested in her, warned kids off when they hadn't done anything wrong" I said

That was bad. It was unjustified
It was my unwarranted anger
She'd never forgive me if she found out about that.

"Kade, stop moping, and do something, or she will move on from you" Elijah said.
"And when that happens... is she free game or?" Tommy asked
Elijah smacked him around the head before I could
"Sorry, it was a joke" he defended.

Grant's POV

"So is this where you threaten me?" I asked, not taking the drink he was offering
He put it on the desk, chuckling
"No, if you insist on chasing my son down, I cannot stop you" he said
"You can" I said

I know he could
Because I knew what kind of man he was
I knew how many legal cases he'd been caught up in
"But I will give you some advice Grant, my son, is a good man. And your daughter seems to really like him, whether they work out or not, telling her to stay away from him, will only drive her further out of your life, and into ours" he said

"I don't want your advice" I snapped
I wouldn't lose her
She would see this is for her own good
"I'm just saying, teenagers rebel, if you support her, she may open up to you more"

"I don't need parenting advice off a man like you" I said, heading for the door
"My daughter and your son, will not continue dating, if I catch him anywhere near her, he'll come home with worse than a bloody nose" I warned
