MURDER

New People

Chapter 23

Alex (NF) POV:

Jake accepted all that's happened. And will always remember where I live. I decided to tell Father about Jake, Jake was also there as well. "This will cause problems with The Police if they found out, wouldn't it be Jake?" My father looked at Jake. "I know it will. That is why I'm quitting. I will get a Regular job" Jake looker back at my father with a serious expression. "I love your son. That won't change" he added.

My father sighed. "You cannot settle down, are you aware of this? You can't get married locally. And Jake, your name will be soiled with our family name" he said looking at both of us. "That doesn't matter to me" Jake stated. Throughout this I stayed silent. Tension was in the air. Everyone was staring at each other now in silence.

After a couple minutes father finally broke the silence. "Alex hardly knows anything.... I hope you make him happy" he smiled a bit. "Wait...your allowing this?" I asked surprised. "Yes, if you are happy then I do not have the right to interfere" he patted me on the head.

"But today, Jake has to go home. One of my friends are coming over with their kids. It would look quite strange if a police officer was in my house" he looked at Jake and Jake laughed a bit. "Thank you so much sir, I will take my leave now" Jake bowed his head slightly. "I'll take him home! I'll be back probably a bit after they come here" I got up and followed Jake. "See you later father!" I called to father, Jake and I left.

Jake and I held hands as we walked. "I'm surprised your dad agreed.... I thought he would be against it, or hunt me down" Jake laughed. I laughed as well. "I don't think my father would hunt you down. But I think he would make sure that you weren't going to instantly tell the cops that you found us" I smiled. "Do you believe I would do that?" He asked looking at me. I shook my head "I don't think you'd do that, its just.... My family really never trusted people. If we just started trusting people easily..... We may get hurt" I explained to him.

Jake looked up at the sky "I see.... So your family is just you and your dad?" He asked. "No, we have other people supporting us. Many people are called my family I suppose. But your my family now to" I grinned up and him. He smiled softly "Yeah, I'm glad to be part of it" he squeezed y hand softly.

We soon got to his house. "You can come over anytime alright?" He said opening his door. "Alright, I'll come over a lot" I grinned and he chuckled. "I'll be glad to have you over, goodnight Alex" He kissed me softly then went inside closing the door behind him. I blushed slightly but my smile didn't fade. This felt like the first time I've actually smiled so much. I headed back home quickly knowing father and the guests were waiting.

I ran and made it home before it was totally dark. "I'm home" I called as I entered the house. I walked inside and instantly saw 2 new people were in the living room talking to father. They had stopped to look at me. "Ah you've gotten so big Alex, you need to stop growing. I'll start feeling old" the man smiled. "You must not remember him much but this is Danin, he is one of my friends. He used to come often here, you could have called him most likely an uncle to you" my father explained. "Ah, you were the one who played with me when father had to leave on a assignment" I suddenly realize. He nodded and patted my head. "How have you been kid?" He asked. "I uh--" father cut me off. "Alex a lot of things happen to him. His sickness got worse awhile ago... And he changed... But he is back to normal... And a police officer shot him, and he lost an eye that was replaced by a fake one" my father explained.

Danin's eyes widened. "All this happened to you? But your still so young! To loose an eye and get into this much trouble at a young age!" Danin seemed surprised. "Its what a No face has to do. I don't regret anything up to now" I crossed my arms sighing softly.

I closed my eyes for a second and then opened my eyes and looked behind Danin to see a boy that looked about my age. "Oh that is my son, he was always with his mother so you could never meet him but now you can meet face to face. This is Yusha he is 19" Yusha bowed his head slightly. I smiled."Hey, why are you lowering your head? Your the same age as me so you don't need to be so formal" I sat down next to him. "You 2 can talk and Danin and I will be out side talking, if you need anything Yusha just ask Alex or me" my father got up and headed outside with Danin.

Yusha looked at my face carefully. Ehhhhh is this trying to creep me out? Because its working. "You did loose your eye" he said quietly. "Oh my eye? Yeah it hurt like hell" I laughed. "Well wouldn't it hurt? If it didn't hurt I'd think you were some weirdo or a demon" Yusho replied. "Eh... Well of course it would hurt because it was my head, and I wasn't in the right shape to even get shot" I laughed awkwardly. "Why did you get shot?" He asked. What. Wait. You just don't ask that to someone you just met. Why would you want that information? Don't you already know my family is the No face family, killers? Right?

"Why would you like to know?" I asked confused. "Well... father said you and your father were criminals.... But he never told me what you 2 do" he replied properly. Danin. You ass. I'll kill you. If you are going to tell someone something tell them everything you asshole!!! "Well....eh..um.. Me and my father are murderers... If that's the way you want to put it" I sighed. "Oh, so you kill people and you get fame from that" he said confidently. My eye twitched. Is he asking this only to piss me off? This brat

"We don't kill people for fame Yusha. That's not what murderers do. Well not my family. We are called No Face's"
