~• Rainer POV •~
No one has the right to live without being shocked
"This better be good," Niki leans against the hood of her black corvette. "I got shit to do."
I watch Andre hop out of her car, when his eyes met mine, they darkened. The saying, "if looks could kill", I'd be dead already. Well, I'd be dead a long time ago.
Andre takes a spot next to Niki against the corvette. His arms crossing against his chest, his deadly eyes still on me.
Now that I'm thinking this fully through... Maybe having a meeting in the great out doors, looking over a cliff, with no witnesses, was a bad idea. We should've done this at the mall or the park, very crowded, lots of witnesses.
A black escalade rolls up beside Niki's car. Ezra hops out from the back. He walks up to the driver's side, saying something to him before the driver heads out. Ezra's shades covering his eyes made it a little hard to read him. I could feel the tension in the air and it was already a lot with Andre, but now that Ezra is here it's pretty thick
"Y'all still not talking?" Niki looks between the two but they remained silent. I watch Andre and Ezra look away from each other. "Seriously?"
Now that I'm thinking about it, this will be the first time in 2 years that we will be together. Since the disappearance, everyone has been working nonstop to find her. But overtime it started tearing them apart. I can't imagine family dinners, awkward as fuck I'm sure.
Jaden finally pulling up in his truck, Luke hops out first. I watch Luke jog to the back to open the back seat door. Jaden hops out next, shutting the door behind him. When Jaden glances at the rest of the group, he smirks.
"Well isn't this a fun group," Jaden's comment earns an eye roll from Niki. While the boys still remained silent, avoiding any type of eye contact. "Ezra, still silent I see. You think that'll do any good?"
Ezra still silent, looking down at the ground.
"I don't even know why we invited you here. It's not like he's gonna say anything useful. I mean you're not gonna say anything at all. You don't talk at dinner, you don't talk ever," Jaden chuckles, earning Andre's attention.
"Let's face it you been MIA the moment she left. Not doing shit." Jaden adds, finally getting Ezra to look up.
"Jaden." Niki places a hand on his shoulder. But he quickly slaps it away.
"Cat got your tongue?" Jaden mocks with a wicked smile as he takes a step closer. "Do you even give a fuck-"
Before Jaden could even finish, Ezra grabs him by the shirt. Both looking at each other intensely, but not a word was spoken.
"This is probably the reason why she gave herself up in the first place."
Everyone looks back at Jaden's truck, where the voice came from. I watched Maria walk her way to the front of the truck. Catching a glimpse of her forever injured hand. The scar started from her knuckles, passing her wrist, working its way up her forearm. She tucks her hands away in her the front of her jeans.
"All of you are so damn annoying, with your male dominance. Just take down a couple, please." Maria complains, leaning back against the truck.
Ezra finally releases Jaden.
"Thank god I'm not the only woman here." Niki comments, earning a wink from Maria.
