I smiled

This was the one time I was actually enjoying Tom's presence.

Which kind of made me feel bad for what I was about to do.

The one time I didn't feel like I was forced to bare with him. "I used to come here with Bill" he paused "before we got involved in the mafia world" his eyes looked down, kind of ashamed. "I was the one that got them involved in this." He added, waiting for my reaction.

I wasn't really sure what to say, I just looked at him. "How?" I asked

He turned his head to look at me and my mind froze as his brown, chocolate eyes locked with mine. "I.." he sighed and continued his sentence "Bill and I used to be poor, our parents were working 24/7 and they barely came home which led Bill and me to be poorly educated."

Before I could comment anything on that he spoke again ".. we kind of started getting into that older stuff at a young age, the stealing, smoking, doing drugs, driving when we didn't have our permit. We actually used to have this stupid friend group, we named it -devilish-." He chuckled a bit which led me to smile.

He was quite cute when he smiled.
"What happened then?" As much as I didn't wanna show interest in this guy, it could maybe help me to get to know him better.

He smiled "hm, someone's given in to being so stubborn, huh?" He mocked me

"Oh shut up before I start ignoring you again" I replied a bit annoyed. "You never did" he said teasingly

I rolled my eyes before focusing on his again. "Well, after that we all split up, kind of, when Bill and I turned 18 and got our permit I decided to be stupid enough and rob someone's facility which was basically owned by..." he paused, waiting for my response. "... by a mafia boss" I chuckled lightly. "How can you be so stupid?" I mocked him, "hey! I didn't know okay?" He laughed low to himself.

I never knew I could enjoy talking to Tom like this.

I smiled before looking out onto the view again. "How..." he paused "did you get involved in this?"

My breath slowed a bit and I could feel my body freeze.

"How..." I paused "did you get involved in this?" I asked hesitantly

I could see her body tensing up as soon as I questioned her, her eyes weren't soft anymore but had rather turned cold and hard. "U-uhm." was the only thing that escaped her mouth.

"I would rather not talk about it." She spoke softly as she wiped her cheek.

I could feel madness roaming through my veins now, doesn't she trust me at all? I told her everything and she didn't wanna tell me anything?!

I sighed softly and looked away.

I wasn't sure if she was crying or if she just had something in her eye, but I noticed her hand wiping something from her eye.

"We should get back.." I said before standing up and stretching. She nodded softly and made her way to the car before sitting in it not closing it yet.

I wasn't sure if I said anything wrong, or if she was just sad but i could definitely tell she wasn't happy anymore.

Why do I care so much tho?

She's just a girl that will help us defeat a mafia.

Nothing else.

I groaned and made my way to my car, to my surprise Astra wasn't there anymore. She had fooled me.

She used me, my feelings and my comfort to escape.

What a bitch.
