How it all started

Chapter 5

Everyone wants a strong woman until she actually stands up, flexes her muscles, projects her voice
Suddenly she is too much she has forgotten her place
Man love those woman as ideas as fantasies
Not as breathing, living humans threatening to be even better than you could ever be.

I walked into the dinning room where Axel and Zale were already waiting for me. I took the seat next to my brother. The kitchen was really big with a round table in the middle of it. I always liked cooking so I got rather excited when I saw the big kitchen in front of me. 2 girls that looked around 20-25 were cooking our dinner. I awkwardly sat next to Zale. The young blonde haired boy walked in. His blue eyes crossed mine and a weird feeling crushed down my stomach. I pushed it away, because I was emotionless and I will be for always.
'Axel why did you do it?' Amells voice was deeper than I expected it to be.
Axel growled at his younger brother 'are you questioning my decisions?' Axels voice was harsh.
I wasn't sure what they were talking about but I had a feeling it was about me.
'I already told you I want you to respect Lenna. She is going to be a huge help to us.' Axel said his tone just as emotionless as his eyes.
'I don't want to have to relay on a teen girl that can't control her emotions .' Amell said.

Wait what? did he just call me a uncontrollable teen girl. Yes he did. The asshole. Anger filled my body and before I knew Amell and I were rolling over the kitchen floor trying to get on top of each other. When my fist connected with his cheek I felt a set of arms pulling me of Amell. Zale pulled me against the counter and I saw Axel doing the same to Amell.
'What the hell is wrong with you two' Zale sounded really annoyed by what just happened. I said nothing waiting for Amell to tell me he is sorry.  Both of us were silent. Than Amell started speaking 'she started she just attacked me'. I rolled my eyes at his childish response and decided that it would be a good idea to be the responsible one in this fight. I turned my face towards Amell looking in his blue eyes. 'I'm sorry that I let my anger take over. By the way I'm Lenna. I'm 16' I said and I wanted to shake hands. 'I'm sorry for calling you an uncontrollable teen girl, I'm Amell and I'm 18. He shook my hand and Zale and Axel finally let go of us.

Dinner was rather awkward because nobody really knew what to say.  Amell and I both didn't say anything to each other again, until we were all finished.
'So what exactly can you do to make our mafia a better one.' Amell tried to sound egoistic but I heard that he was actually curious. I raised my shoulders unsure why I even was here in the first place.
'I guess they needed a babysitter for you' I said annoyed by amells attitude.
Zale rolled his eyes at me and Axel slammed his fist into the table.
'STOP BEING SO ANNOYING YOU TWO.' Axel screamed at us. He was extremely annoyed by us.

I was laying on my bed, listening to Ed Sheeran when Zale walked in.
'Hey Lenna do you want to go running with me' he asked. I like running a lot so I said yes.
I grabbed my sport shoes and waited for Zale down stairs. When Amell came down in his sport clothes.
'Zale doesn't have time for you so he asked me to show you around.' I could hear in his voice that he didn't want to but didn't have another choice.
'Uhm okay sure'
'So what are you waiting for' Amell said '

Together we walked into the woods. I was running behind Amell for quite a while. And than in once there was a curve, I didn't see it and fell right over a piece of wood that laid in the middle of the curve.
'F@CK DAMN IT.' I screamed. Amell turned around.
'What is wrong' he asked
'I-I, my ankle. It hurts.' I stuttered.
'Can you stand up' he asked trying to help me get up but when his hand touched my belly I flinched.
'What is wrong?' He asked again.
'Well when we fought you hit my belly quite hard' I said
'Owh I'm sorry.'
'No it wasn't you fault'
'So can you stand?'
'No it hurts like hell.' I said
'What do you want me to do?' His eyes were sweet and he looked at me with a soft smile 'I can call Zale if you want'
'No! I don't want to disappoint him.' I screamed.
'Uhm wait I have an idea.' Amell said and he pulled me up against his chest. My legs in is other arm. As a reflex I let my arms rest around his neck. He walked back and I found myself relaxing in his arms and listening to the rhythm of his heart beating.

We neared the house and I was still cradled against Amells chest. I felt his abs under his shirt. When we entered the house it looked empty. Amell put me down on the couch and took a bag of ice from the kitchen.

'Where is everyone?' I asked
'Axel and Zale are probably at a job somewhere in the city.'
Amell pushed the sack lightly against my ankle. My ankle still hurt like hell. It was silent for awhile and I actually enjoyed it.
'So what is up with this whole strong woman thing you're doing' Amell finally said.
'When I was young and alone I promised myself to be the heroine of my life and that I would never become the victim' I said, I'm not used to people asking me questions like this, but with Amell it felt okay to answer.
'How about you?' I asked
'Well I grew up in this live style. But I had a choice whether I wanted to fight for it or not. I chose to fight. So later when I find my queen I will be able to fight for her.' His words surprised me.

The rest of the night Amell and I spend watching Tv and laughing about stupid sh*t. I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up because Amell was shaking my body hard.
'Good morning' I said not sure whether it was morning or not.
'It is not morning yet silly, lets get upstairs.' He turned his back towards me as a sign that I had to jump on his back. We walked up the stairs and into my bedroom. Amell put me down on my bed and left my room. It was only than I realized what the fuck I had done. I let my guard down. I told Amell stuff I never old anyone else and I hated it. So I will make sure that that will never happen again. I know what he is doing and I'm not going to let it happen. He is stupid to even think I would.

'A dream is a wish your heart makes'
that is what they say.
But what I dream of is not something my heart wants
My heart only wants one thing
Forever being frozen.
