You changed my life [Rammstein]

Chapter 17: Even without you... Life goes on

I hold back a despair tear and walk towards them, the girl doesn't seem surprised to see me because she looks at me with a mischievous smile displayed on her face.

I remove the ring that is around my finger and throw it on Reinke's face, before turning to the girl and give her a thump in the face that makes her fall backwards.

-Forget that I existed, Emil Reinke Landers !! I spit with hatred. Goodbye dirty traitor...

I begin to get away from him, ignoring his protests, and I go out to the parking lot where I find Gabriella's car near the entrance. Without getting invited, I go to the back seat.

Seeing the funeral face I'm displaying, my brother and his girlfriend look at me with a glint of anxiety in their eyes.

-something wrong, Sis? Wonders the blond.

-You know you can tell us anything? Adds his girlfriend.

-He's a dirty traitor. I start, feeling the tears threatening to fall. I saw them with my own eyes.

-You are talking about Emil, right? Daniel says angrily. I'm going to cut-

-No, stay here it's useless to fight with him. I reply, taking him by the arm.

I lean towards the blond and stroke his hair as if to say "everything is fine, don't worry about me" and then I see through the front window that Paul is looking for me in the cars around us.

-My father is looking for me. I announce to the couple. I think I have to go.

-You will not come with us? Carter says with surprise.

-I will never set my feet in the house... I say sadly, opening the door.

My brother and his girlfriend get out too. The blond bypasses the car and comes toward me, one hand in his pocket.

-Before you leave, father sent this for you. He says pulling out a credit card. He's telling you that you'll have a payment each month, make good use.

I hug the young man, who is my brother, in my arms. I always kept the tears inside me without getting them out, but now I can't hold them anymore.

-Hey, don't cry... Daniel whispers, wiping my tears. Stay strong.

-Put a cross on Emil, Jim. Comforts my girl friend. He's not the only man on this planet, look a bit who you live with...

-I can't get him out of my head, maybe after some time. I answer.

Daniel waves at my father and asks him to join us. When Paul arrives next to us, he looks at me questioningly.

-Where is Emil? He asks, frowning.

-Your Son of sh- Begins my brother angrily but I put my hand over her mouth.

-Gone with his new girlfriend? I say flatly, shrugging.

-How, his new girlfriend? Exclaims Richard, who joins us. Emil left you?

Gabriella looks at the lead-guitarist then nods her head affirmatively. I hear the beautiful brown swearing between his teeth and muttering, saying that young people of this days are less responsible.

-Good, We will go back home. Paul says to calm his friend. You'll come with us, Jimaima?

-I have nowhere to go, so I'm going with you. I answer. If you don't mind, of course...
