Grand Theft Auto V: Los Santos moonlight

Liberty trip || Chapter 29

Been a while now since I bought the club, and I have to say... It's actually been going pretty well! Buisness has been going really well, and I've been making a ton of money off the place too. It's actually been pretty fun running the place as well, even if it takes a shit ton of work to do so. Honestly, the amount of work I was putting in was pretty exhausting at first, but I've gotten more and more used to it. One things for sure, I'm really glad that Trevor has been helping me out with all this as well. He really has been a big help. He almost acts like an unpaid bodyguard for the place too, heheh... Hey, I still technically work for his buisness too, though. Does this technically make him both my boss and my employee at the same time? And if I'm working for him, that would mean the same for me as well... I think? Eh, I don't know, and who cares anyway. That type of stuff gets confusing once I start putting a bunch of labels on it. Uh, what else...? Oh, right!
For a while now, I've really wanted to take a short trip back to Liberty City. Mainly because I miss my family. So today, after making some plans, I'm finally taking a trip back to that city! Trevor is also coming with me too, and I have some mixed feelings on that. On one hand, it'll be nice to finally introduce him to the rest of my family. But on the other hand... My dad still hates him. And I still can't stop thinking about when the two first met. At this point, I feel like putting those two in an empty room together is like putting two predatory wild animals alone together... It's only a matter of time which one will end up killing the other first. So, as long as I don't leave those two alone together... I think things will be fine? I don't know, I hope so. Honestly, I'm just trying to keep a positive spirit, and hope that this vacation doesn't end in bloodshed.
And luckily, Franklin is watching over my pets during this trip, so I won't have to worry about that. I dropped all my pets off at his place this morning, so now... We're ready to go! Trevor was flying us over to the city via a helicopter, and my dad's place actually has a helipad on top of it, so that worked out perfectly. We finally took off, and it took a really long time, but one long flight later...
...And we're in Liberty City! Man, I miss this crappy city... It really brings back a ton of memories being back here again. I really should have visited a long time ago, but... Here I am now! Man, I'm tired. It took so long for us to arrive here, that it's literally in the afternoon now... As tired as I am though, I need to go say hi to everybody first!
Once the helicopter landed on the helipad, the both of us hopped out with our suitcases, going down to the deck. Luckily the back door was unlocked, so we both were able to go inside, immediately seeing my dad in the kitchen.
"DAD!! Hey!!" I quickly dropped my suitcases, excitedly running up to dad and giving him a big hug.
"Sofi, hey! Man, it's so nice to see you again..." Dad hugged me back, both of us letting go as we smiled at each other. Dad then noticed Trevor as well, only silently glancing over at him.
"...What, no greetings for me?" Trevor asked.
"Oh, you... Uh, hey." Dad's smile faded away, lazily greeting Trevor with an almost annoyed look. Trevor didn't respond, only rolling his eyes in response as he let out a sigh.
"Wow! Um... Man, that was a loooong trip." I quickly blurted out, trying to immediately get rid of the awkward tension. "I am sooo tired..."
"Hey, we can catch up more tomorrow if you're too tired..." Dad replied. "Uh... Were you gonna stay at your old apartment?" He asked.
"For now, yeah... Uh, you think it's safe to stay there for now?" I asked.
"Yeah, I doubt the cops will still be looking for you there." He replied.
"Good. Then... We'll talk more tomorrow. Later!"

Sometime later...
After returning back to my old apartment and dropping off our suitcases, I was honestly ready to head off to bed, but Trevor had other plans he wanted us to do first. He wanted to meet my other family members, so I brought him over to Roman's place. Luckily Roman and Mallorie were both home, so I was able to reunite with both of them, also introducing them to Trevor as well.
"Hey, where's Katie? Is she home right now?" I asked, while we were all talking.
"I know this is the time where she gets off of school." Mallorie replied. "She should be home any second now..."
And as if on cue, I could hear the front door open, promptly hearing it get slammed shut. I looked behind myself to see Katie walking into the apartment, but... Something seemed off. She seemed pretty upset, looking like she was close to tears. She looked pretty surprised to see me though, quickly running up to me and hugging me.
"Sofi! I'm so glad to see you..." Katie whimpered, as I quickly hugged her back.
"Me too, Katie... Uh, are you alright?" I asked. Katie didn't respond at first, quickly glancing around at everyone else first.
"...Can we talk in private?" Katie asked.
"Uhh... Sure."
Katie quickly dragged me down a nearby hallway, leading me into her room. She then proceeded to lock her bedroom door, angrily throwing her backpack on the floor.
"Katie, what's going on?" I asked.
"Urgh, I hate school so fucking much!!" Katie angrily snapped, gasping as she covered her mouth. "Whoops... Don't tell mom and dad I just swore!" Katie says.
"Heh, your secrets safe with me." I replied, sitting down on her bed. "So, what's your issue with school? Lemme guess... Does it have to do with bullies?" I asked.
"Yes..." Katie sighed, flopping onto the bed next to me. "I don't know what to do, anymore... There's this group of girls who won't stop bullying me no matter what I do!"
"Well, you came to the right person. I used to get bullied a lot back in school as well." I replied.
"Wait, really? How'd you deal with that?" Katie asked.
"When bullies beat the shit out of me, I'd just become stronger and beat them up even more." I replied. "Strike fear into them. After a while, most of the people around school became too scared to even be around me.
"Really...? How'd you make any friends if everyone was so scared of you?" Katie asked.
"Eh, I didn't really have any friends." I replied. "Atleast not any friendships that lasted more than a month. Uh... You have friends, right?"
"Yeah, a few of them." Katie replied.
"Good. You're already doing better than I was." I state. "So, yeah... Long story short, if you become strong and feared at your school, those assholes that are bullying you won't be so inclined to hurt you the next time they see you. And even better if your friends become as strong and feared as well... You'll practically be unstoppable!"
"Ehh... I'm not sure if I wanna be feared." Katie replied, looking unsure. "I just don't wanna respected more is all."
"Fair enough. But if you atleast become stronger and learn some self defense tips, you can still have a way to defend yourself at least." I state. "I can teach you some self defense tips... If you want?"
"Actually... Sure! That'd be nice, actually." Katie replied, sitting up in her bed as she smiled at me. "Thanks for talking to me about all this, Sofi. Um... Can we do all that tomorrow? I have a bunch of homework I need to catch up on."
"Yeah, that's cool with me... I'm pretty tired anyways."
