My scared love

Chapter 12

Jay's POV
She goes closer to Dye still standing “Okay you know the routine shirt up and just try staying still.” Dye says and she slowly lifts her shirt and my eyes and glued to her I run my eyes over her body she has small scars on her stomach but I can see more scars on her back. I slowly shift over and tilt my head her back is slightly exposed not a lot but I can see bigger scars than the ones in the front. I bite my tongue trying to contain my anger knowing damn well it was probably her piece of shit parents.

“Zara Rose don't” I look over at them and he moves her hand, “You’re all done” he sighs “Thanks, Dye” she hugs him “Your welcome darling just remember don't do too much you don't want to strain yourself,” Dye says rubbing her back “Come on you still have to talk to me remember” I chuckle and she lets go of him. “Right….come on,” she says and starts walking out of the room. “Am I in trouble love” I tease and she picks at her nails.

“No….well not right now” she says and walks into my room “Um…” she scratches her arm, then quickly moves her arm away. “Umm...I have to tell you something bu..but…” She takes a deep breath in and closes the door standing in front of it. “Dani told me that today … she hesitated to take her shot today and as a result, you got hurt…and she's really sorry that she hesitated…she has a good reason for it but...she didn't know how to tell you so thats why I'm here,” she says looking extremely nervous.

I sigh knowing that Dani hesitated but it didn't matter to me because I knew at the end of the day my sister is here safe. After all, we got our job done. “What was the reason” I ask trying to prepare myself for anything, maybe she wants to leave this life behind, maybe she was just distracted by seeing Rico like that, I try to come up with reasons for myself. “She….she said that….the guy who shot you was…. Anderson” she says and I can feel my pulse quicken and my eye twitch, my blood starts to boil.

“What do you mean it was Anderson” I growl “Umm…she was about to take the shot but saw the J on his neck and she knew immediately it was him so she couldn't do and she's really sorry she is really distraught because of it but she….she couldn't tell you….it's her brother too,” she says and I feel something snap “Go back to your room now…you have no place in telling me about my own family” I growl getting up from the bed.

“Woah hey there's no need to be an asshole, Jay, maybe if you weren't such an asshole it wouldn't be me telling you this it would be your sister” she growls “Shut your mouth, and go back to your room before we both do or say anything we'll regret” I grit my teeth. “It won't be me regretting my words it's you. You're always so quick to cut people out or off why can't you just talk and work it out” she growls at me

Zealand's POV
  “You don't understand what has happened I will never forgive him I will always hate him everything I do is because of what happened,” Jay says gripping the door knob with me between him and the door. “Jay…I know it's hard…but please tell me what is going on” I grab his hand. He stares at me and he sighs his eyes soften.

“It’s…when we lost our parents, they were in the same line of work that I am they ran a huge mafia across what seemed like everywhere, they were practically invincible. One night someone ambushed my mother when she was coming home from the store she was able to fend them off as best as she could but…it was pointless my mother was too weak she wasn't a fighter she was a shooter. That's why no matter what I make sure my people can fight no matter what their job is” he pauses and looks at me

“The same time that was happening the damn feds ambushed our home all three of us were asleep at the time. I was woken up by the scream of Dani, I remember jumping out of bed and grabbing my bat and I remember seeing the fear in her eyes when someone was dragging her down the hall. I remember that no one was going to hurt my sister so I smashed in his head, and then I remember seeing my father there on the ground shot dead in the fucking back….but that's not what destroyed me what destroyed me was when I saw my own brother standing there with the gun as the feds raided our fucking home.” I look at him as tears well up but he won't let them out.

“A few years later Dani reached out after me and her escaped the feds…all three of us met thinking things would be different now…but they weren't…me and Dani were running the gang and he was a fucking fed. He said that he vowed that he would change the feds even if it was just a group he hand-picked he vowed that they would destroy any gangs involved with our father and the gang who killed our mother….I couldn't hold my tongue I was pissed so I told him that we already completed that without him with no help from him we avenged our mother, while he was off working with the people who killed our father” he turns and wipes his eyes.

“He said that it didn't matter because he would hurt me and Dani if we got in his way…so we have been living away from each other not interfering with each other's work…I can't figure out why he's here or why he is interfering with my work or why he is even back in the state…I mean we kept tabs on him but not close enough I guess” he sighs rubbing my eyes.
