You ready?

Aurora up there. 

David's POV

  "Alex. Bae! Babe!" I yelled trying to get his attention. It was like he was in a trance or something. I walked over to where he was and tried again. "Alex what's wrong?" I said as he finally snapped out of his trance. "Huh? Wassup?" he said as he looked at me. "Who were you making that gesture too?" I asked as I looked at him with confusion and concern. "They're back. That was them." he said blankly. I didn't even need and explanation for what he meant by that. "What was the said to you?" I said getting pissed. "Nothing. He pretended that he was shooting me so I pretended that I was slicing his throat. He kept driving after that. Hope his ass hit a fire hydrant for being so nosy." He said nonchalantly. "Call your brother and sister." I said. He need to let them know that they are back.

  "OK." he said as he pulled out his phone and dialed them. "Jordan. Listen up. They're back. I just saw him today. No he didn't touch me or anything like that. He just pretended to shoot me so I pretended I was slicing his throat. He drove off after that. I can't go home now, I have to work. Sage is about to take me. You have to work. Yes he knows, he's not gonna let me out of his sight now. OK. See you when you get in." He said hanging up the phone. He's taking this waytoo lightly. Did he forget what they did to him these last few years? "Alex you are way to calm right now. This shit right here is serious. I'm not losing you again!" I yelled. "Then don't. Do everything in your power to prevent that. I'll see you later." he said coldly. Damn that was cold as fuck. I guess he's fed up with being scared. He didn't have to be an ass about it though. 

Alexander's POV

  I know that was cold and ignorant of me but I'm tired of living in fear. Just because them niggas are back, I should be scared? Fuck no. I'm bringing the fight to them. My next move is gonna be the best one. "Sage let's go." I said as I got into the passenger side of her car. "Alex. Alex look at me." she said. I slowly turned my head and looked at her. "They're back huh? I'm not gonna give you a lecture or nothing like that but I will tell you this. I'm behind you 100% . Whatever you wanna do, I'm with it. Just say the word and I'm on it. That's all I got to say." she said as I nodded my head. "Thank you. I'm just tired of walking around on eggshells because of them. I know this is serious but I'm just tired." I admitted to her. She nodded her head and agreed with me. "I understand baby boy. They're gonna get theirs." she said. "Yup. Let's get to work. I need to take my mind off of this." I said as she agreed and started the car and headed to work.

  When we finally got to work, I was a little relieved that I didn't have anything to worry about at this exact moment. That didn't stop me from replaying the conversation I had with David. I was dead wrong for talking to him like and I know I definitely owe him an apology. "Great job today Alex. You were a beast when it came to those orders. Getting them in and out like that." Ms.Sanchez said. To be honest, I didn't even know I was at work. My mind has just been all over the place today. I smiled at her "Thank you. Just making sure that we live up to our reputation that's all". Sage looked at me like she knew that I was partially lying. "Good job today you two. See you tomorrow." she said as she walked back to her office. I took my apron off and placed it in my locker. "You were lying. You was focused on something else. I know when you act like that. What was it?" she asked. 

 "OK. OK. I was thinking about David and how I was cold to him earlier. He didn't deserve that because he was only looking out for me." I admitted. "You have to apologize to him Alex. He really does care about you." she said patting my back. "I will tonight. You ready to go?" I asked her. "Yeah we out." she said closing her locker and leaving. On our way to my house, I texted David and asked if he could come meet me at my house real quick. He didn't respond so I take it he's not gonna come. "See you tomorrow champ. " Sage said as she drove off. I waved to her and started digging in my pockets for my house keys. As I was doing that, I got a text from David saying turn around. I turned around to him pulling up. As soon as he got out the car, guilt started to wash over me for like the 3rd time today. He walked up to me looking pissed as fuck. "What?" he said with an attitude.
