The Gangleader

Chapter 8

"Girl, you still haven't said anything?"
I sighed as Nicole looked at me like I was crazy. Maybe I was. "No, but I will"
"Bitch when? Cause I'm telling you, if he finds out by someone else-"
"He's not"
"You sure? Cause if Marko find out, he's gonna kill him and you"
     I shook my head. "I know"
I didn't want to get Eric in trouble but I didn't know how to tell him about me. I'm afraid if I do, he won't want to be with me anymore.
"I know you're scared that he'll leave but you can't keep lying to him. He's gonna find out eventually and I think that he should find out from you then someone else".
I sighed. "I know, you're right"
She patted my back. "Good girl"

"Hey, baby", Eric said pulling me into the house and planted a deep kiss on my lips.
"Mmm", I moaned. "Hi", I said when he finally pulled away.
I walked into the living room and sat down and he plopped down next to me, putting his hand on my thigh, rubbing it gently.
"I missed you, baby. Where you been?"
"Oh, just around", I threw it off
He nodded. "Well, I'm glad you came to see me today".
I smiled faintly. "Me too"
It was quiet for a while. I was thinking of a way to start off the conversation. I just breathed in and dealt with it.
"E?"
He looked at me. "What?"
I messed with my fingers. "I have something that I need to tell you"
"What?"
I said a silent prayer. "Before you get angry, just listen to me."
"Baby, I won't get angry"
"Yeah, you will", I sighed. "Look, umm-when you told me about who you were and I ran away, I didn't run away because I was scared".
"Why did you?"
I looked at him and took a deep breath. "My family are apart of the Bloods".
