Falling (boyxboy) {COMPLETE}

Chapter 18

Jace

I got in my car waiting for Charlie to get in the passenger side, we had agreed since he wasn't comfortable with me footing the bill for the rest of the month, we'd just go grocery shopping and get somethings into his house, he wasn't comfortable with this either, so i gave hi an ultimatum, either i buy lunch everyday, or i buy his groceries for the rest of the month and he finally settled on the grocery thing, all i had to do was ask my dads permission and he said okay.

"I don't think you should have to do this for me." he grumbled from next to me.

"After everything you've been through and is still going through because of me, the least i could do was get you some groceries."

"I still think it's wrong,i should be the one looking after you."

"No, don't tell me the only reason you're against this is because of your ego" he didn't say anything " you are so childish."

There was silence until i pulled up in front the grocery store, Charlie reluctantly followed me inside, then it hit me.

"What do you even buy to put in a kitchen?"

He groaned "you insist on buying me groceries and you don't even know what to get."

"I would've guessed as much."

We both turned around to see Charlie's mom standing behind us, Charlie instantly rushed to give her a hug, she rubbed his head in small gentle strokes before kissing it.

"Mom i missed you."

"I know sweet cakes, i missed you you too."

They just stood there in silence before she patted his back "now come on I've only got till nine, to get you the groceries and give you a few recipes until i have to go back home." Charlie nodded and we went to start shopping.

We sat in the kitchen trying not to kill ourselves, we had done a lot of bandaging up, although Charlie seemed to slip up his hands were cut free, mine not so much, we laughed as Charlie's mom told us about some crazy stuff she did.

"Anyways my dad was furious and decided he was going to ground me, i mean it was an accident, give a girl a break, when my punishment was done i went for a walk and this guy, who was the spitting image of Jace, started telling me how he liked my work and stuff like that, three months later i'm firing a rocket launcher at a fucking speedboat."

"Was it my dad?"

She seemed to no what i was talking about "nope it was your uncle Jace, he was awesome he was known as bloodshed king, aside from your dad, he handled the more messy jobs, i mean he was three years older than me and Charlie's dad and everyone seemed to have this level of respect for him that never wavered, and i'd have to say he deserved it, unlike other things.

I knew she meant his death, but i didn't want to talk about it.

"So tell us more stories about you mom" Charlie said after he noticed i was uncomfortable.

"Well when i was about twenty, most of us were in a gang, it was called Red Blade, your dad came up with the name, after all it was his gang.' she said looking in my direction "so there was this girl from another gang and every time i saw her, she was ogling Dominik, by this time your mom had went out of the country for classes so yeah and i walked up to her, i'm like slut and she just gave me this blank look before just attacking me, we kicked threw punches in the other direction and i was winning, so i finally pinned her to the ground, took out my canister, poured the rum on her hair and set it on fire, only to break into a fit of laughter when all her hair went poof and disappeared."

We all started laughing.
