"HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?"

Chapter 5

-At Gemma's Place-

With a click from the door, I rush in and turn on the lights. About to collapse from Minks weight, I throw him onto the floor. Gasping for air, I stand up and check to see the others wide eyed at Mink. Giggling, I go to the kitchen and grab some lemonade, "Hey, y'all want some lemonade?" I ask pouring my glass. 

They all agree, and I get a tray for the cups. Walking into my spacious living room I see Clear, Aoba, and Noiz hogging the couch and Mink in a chair. Koujaku was still standing and he passed out the drinks. I smile in thankfulness and chill in the love seat, Koujaku comes over to me and sits down next to me.

"So, what do y'all wanna eat?" I ask while thinking of the food I have, and deciding whether or not to send a bot to get some stuff. "We're fine with anything really. So just make what you want." Aoba says while looking to the others for confirmation, they all nod as well. Clear raises his hand for some reason, "What is it Clear?" I ask while becoming worried I might have to do something frustrating. "Can I help you cook? Since I'll feel better if I do." He says sheepishly, I chuckle and nod while going into my kitchen. 

I hear Clear cheer and follow me, "Oh, and Noiz?" I say while poking my head outta the kitchen. He turns his head to me, I take it as me to continue. "If I catching you hacking into stuff, you'll regret it. Also you can't do it, so don't try." I finish with my words and remember, "Also the TV remote is on the table, I have cable, rent a movie if you'd like,  just no porn k?" And I continue on with cooking.

About an hour later, Clear and I have the table set and made steak with sautéed mushrooms, and other sides. Once the food is set and ready I call in the wolves, Noiz comes walking in first, then the other two. We sit and thank each other for the food. Not really hungry, I excuse myself and check on Minky, I guess one of the boys moved him to the couch. I walk over and check his pulse, a steady beat. 

Sighing, I look down and think of how many times he's done stupid things, and I could only hope he could fix it easily. I cover him in a blanket, I go to the dining table and notice the boys stuffed to the rim. I laugh, "Did y'all enjoy the food?" I ask kindly while placing the empty dishes by the sink and readied the sink water.

"You're an amazing cook, Gemma. How'd you get so good?" I heard Aoba say, I giggle at the thought of my mother and I cooking up a storm, and feeding everyone in the community on holidays. "Tons of practice, I used to actually burn popcorn." I say while washing the dishes. 

After a little I finished the dishes and sat in my seat. There was a moment of silence, and I had to break it. "So, how do you guys know Minks?" I ask with my head in my hands. Aoba laughs nervously and gulps, "Well, I was coming home one day, and my grandmother wasn't there, but Mink was. He took me to his gang, and said he'll help me find my grandmother and I agreed. And we all met in the same situation, they helped me find my grandmother and the rest is history." I stay quiet for a second and erupt with laughter, and after a while we all were laughing. After it calmed down, we talked about life and suchlike things.

"So, Gemma. You know how we know Mink, so how do you know him?" Koujaku says later on through the night.

I stop smiling and look down in my lap. "How long have y'all been meeting Mink lately?" I ask while thinking way to much about the question. They think about it and then Noiz answers, "We met up with him about a month or two ago. He seemed more concerned about something lately, but whenever someone asked, he would change the subject." I stay extremely quiet and still, since after so long, he acts like its nothing, like I'm nothing.

I had to get outta here, "Well, boys I have to head out, it's something to do with my group. Y'all can stay, leave, hell throw a party, just don't trash the place too much." I say while getting up  and walking to living room.

"Gems, what's going on?" I heard the one person, I didn't want to talk to right now, ask. I stop walking to the door, I really wanted to yell, throw stuff, and be pissed off but I decided to be rational. Turning around I have my poker face on and stare at him till he gets that I'm pissy. Stepping up to him, I look behind him and see the others looking confused.

"You want to know what's going on Mink? Well, I just figured out that I should have, just stopped wanting to pretend to be happy. I have been trying for so long, to always see the bright side of life, and you were my bright side. Ya, I know it sounds stupid, but it's true. Everyday of my life, for the past three years, my thoughts always contained you. Finding you, being together, but I guess you forgot, that your little sister still loves you!" I was screaming by the time I finished, a lonesome tear ran down my face.

I let slide down my face, too angry to care about my appearance. I walk out of my apartment, and began walking to my gangs area. Apparently there's this guy who tried to screw me over, and he's perfect to get rid of my boiling rage.
