Brooklyn~ 

It was terrifying to see my mother be going and it was as terrifying that the police were there and still looking for Tristan.. the funny thing was, Tristan was on my mind the whole time, I was thinking what I'd do if he was taken or something. Which is stupid, he can take care of himself... but that was what I was thinking, right when my mother left me... 

"Here we are." Tristan says, parking the car in front of my house. 

"Tristan...?" 

"Yes?" He looks at me. 

"Will they ever drop those charges?" I ask. 

"I don't think they will if I don't just go see them." He sighs. 

"Maybe it's someone after you whose making it look like it's you who killed her...?" 

He frowns. "Too many enemies to count.." 

"Too bad." I frown. 

"Well, my life wasn't and isn't bitter sweet.. I have to go." He says. 

"I'll see you later then?" I ask. 

"I'll call you." He nods. 

I watch as the car drives off and I sigh, walking up to my house and turning the TV on immediately. It was just the usual news, and the saddest thing, another attack happened.. it was just horrible.. what was happening around the world now? It was ... I couldn't believe my eyes... I ached for every country going through things like this, families losing their loved ones...

"I must add.." 

I turn and stand up quickly, seeing a man in the lounge behind me sofa, who the hell-- 

"You care about a lot of people, it's pretty typical to not do that when you're a sport person, all they care about, is what they do, what prize they want and win!" He roars with laughter. 

"Who the hell are you? And why are you in my house!?" I shout. 

"Now, now.. don't be rude.." He grins. "Oh, by the way... I'm a friend of Tristan's." He adds. 

I frown. "Tristan never mentioned a friend coming over.." I say. 

"Oh, he didn't? Oh, that's too bad." He chuckles, walking around. 

I step away from him, keeping my stare at him. "Who are you?" 

"I'm Emma's brother, Drake." 

"I never knew Emma had a brother.." 

She never mentioned it at all.... 

"Oh, she doesn't like talking about me, she just wants me to disappear." He shakes his head and laughs. "She's a funny one that Emma.." 

"Aha... did Emma tell you to visit me too?" I frown deeper. 

"Nah... I've not talked to her for years." He says. 

I sigh, crossing my arms. "Drake.. what do you want?" 

"You tell Tristan and Emma Drake is back in town." He chuckles and walks out of the door. 

What the living fuck...?

Tristan~ 

I'm about to go to sleep, when I hear the loud knocking of the door, I groan... who was it in the middle of the fucking night!? 

I race down the stairs with a annoyed mood, this was so stupid... I open the door and step back, shocked.
