Gang leader Vs. Gang leader

21

"You're leaving?" Josh stares at Xander stepping forward from living room doorway into the hall standing in front of Xander. I stay slightly behind him and step to the side to look at Josh.

"Yeah.. I wasn't going to say goodbye, but Aria kinda forced me to." Xander laughs awkwardly then sighs, running a hand through his hair.

"Who's going to tell the gang what to do? How are we going to report back and keep an ordered system? Who's going to tell the rest that you're leaving? How are the rest of us going to get paid and continue or jobs?" Josh asks and I see a bit of panic wash over him.

"That's where you come in." Xander places a hand on Josh's shoulder.

"What?"

"You're going to take this gang over. I'll drop in from time to time to make sure everything's good, but you're going to be the new leader."

"I- Xander-"

"You're going to be a great leader, alright? Calm down it's not like the fate of the world is in your hands."

"Well I mean since I kinda rule most of half the world and you rule most of the other half with our gangs all over the place it's kinda like- Not the time, cool, okay I got it-" I say and close my mouth when Xander shoots me a look. I bite the nail of my thumb wrapping my other arm around my stomach watching them, again.

"You'll do fine." Xander pulls his hand away and Josh sighs nodding his head.

"Alright, I won't disappoint you." Josh smiles slightly and Xander nods his head, then there's an awkward silence over all three of us. I pull my nail out and clasp my hands behind my back rocking on my toes looking around awkwardly. Okay the silence thing is getting weird now, I lean forward slightly so my head is in between them.

"Bro hug?" I grin, asking while glancing at both of them back and fourth.

"We don't do that." Xander coughs out, deepening his voice slightly and I roll my eyes, placing a hand on Xander's back and pushing him towards Josh. He steps forward and they stand next to each other looking around and I cross my arms over my chest. They wrap their arms around each other quickly then step back from each other, clearing their throats. "Idiots are idiots."

"Well we're going now, I'll see you." Xander smiles at Josh and he nods his head at both of us. Xander grabs my hand and begins pulling me away and I begin waving 'bye.'

"Looks like we're on the same side for once now, after all." I call to Josh as Xander pulls me out the door. I stumble out slightly and walk to the car with Xander ahead of me. I tilt my head looking at his ass as he walks in front of me then speed up a little and smack his butt.

"Woah no-" Xander stops and looks at me grabbing his but and I grin laughing.

"Couldn't help myself?"

"Aria."

"Last one to the car is a rotten egg." I laugh and begin skipping over to the car opening the door and getting in. "Looks like you're the rotten egg." I say as Xander gets in and he rolls his eyes.

"If you say so." He laughs quietly and starts the car driving down the road.

"Come on lighten up. We're leaving, we have freedom to do whatever the hell we want. Let's be teenagers again, let's do something crazy. Let's have sex on a fucking Ferris wheel for crying out loud!" I squeak.

"You're right, you're right. I think we should do the last idea, first." He glances at me and I shake my head laughing.

"This is going to be-"

"Crazy." Xander finishes and I lean back in my seat, sighing happily and staring out the window. I feel Xanders' hand grab mine and intertwine our fingers. I know this moment won't last, but I want to enjoy it for as long as I can. For years I've been running from everything and everyone throwing myself into work, I'm kinda doing that now too, but at least I'm running away with someone. Life's a bitch. Xander and I lost our family, forced ourselves in to being fucking awful people-- It's just shit. But now, it's over, I hope. It's just me and Xander, I don't know what the fuck is in the future, but I know that my parents are watching over me; and that it'll be a hell of a lot easier with Xander. I'm happy. We're not gang leaders, or enemies so there's no more of that bullshit of gang leader vs. gang leader.

-The end.

(Thank you for reading! I began writing and just kept going until I had no idea where it was going. You guys are awesome and I can't thank you enough for giving my dumb story a chance. Maybe I'll come back and add more chapters. I have more and already made stories on the way, so take a look if you want. Don't know if there'll be a second book, maybe not, who knows? Again thank you, until the next time. <3 )
