How it all started

Chapter 7

'Dorogoy?' I asked again.
'Yes' Amell said while our chests were still against each other in the warm water. The butterflies in my belly now pacing through it.
Why was I having those feelings.
'So are we gonna do it?' Amell asked me.
'Yes. We are' I said. He saved me from drowning although he was the reason I was drowning in first place.
He finally let go of me. His arms were still around my waist and I didn't even care. What was wrong with me. I should be kicking his ass. I attempted to slap him again only just to fail just as hard as the previous time. I hit the water which ended in his face. I laughed at the sight.
'Water fight' Amell screamed and a large wave of water came my way.
I dove into the water, gripped his feet and pulled him under the water too. He was now on the same height as I was. I looked into his eyes. I forgot that I was in the water. I forgot everything. And then I realized why I liked it here and Amell in particular. I was loved here. And I already hated it.
I swam back to the surface and pulled myself out of the pool.
'I'm going to tell Zale and Axel that I've made up my mind.' I said, Amell looked shocked at my sudden change in personality.
'And, you're going to do that in your underwear dorogoy?'
'Uhm that might not be the best idea, can you get me a towel?' I asked Amell
'Sure dorogoy' he said smiling
'Stop calling me that!' I screamed but Amell didn't respond and just walked away. I laid down on one of the comfortable chairs, just closing my eyes for a minute. Until Amell comes back.

When I woke up there were blankets wrapped around my body. I was confused. What the hell happened? I must've fallen asleep. I took the blankets with me inside and walked through the kitchen towards the stairs. But than I hit something hard.

'Oef' I stumbled back a bit. When I looked up I saw that I walked into my brother. Just the person who I was looking for although I would have rather not been wearing my underwear. I wrapped one of the blankets around my body quick.
'Hey little sis' Zale said with a grin on his face.
'Hey, I wanted you to know that I...'
in once realization kicked in. If I was going to say yes to this whole gang leader thing was I still able to go to school? Was I even able to go to school? How am I supposed to defend myself if we are attacked? I don't even know what to do with a gun! What did they even expect me to do? Was I stilling living with my brother and Axel or what?
I felt my brother staring at me.
'What did you wanted me to know Lenna?' He asked in a stern voice. It gave me chills. Not that I wasn't used to hearing stern voices it was just... I never heard my brother talk to me like that.
I asked him everything I wanted to know and was quite pleased with the answers. Although there were only a few things that mattered for me.
I could go to school but Amell had to drive me there every day. After school I would train, like with guns and I would learn how to defend myself. I wouldn't be living with my brother anymore, that was basically the only thing I was concerned about. But he promised me that it would be okay. Zale assured me that whatever I had to do it would be safe.
I can do that. I can do it. I can do everything. I want to do everything! So I told Zale I would do it.

I went to my room so I could relax a bit and prepare for school. I turned my music on and danced through the room.
I need a gangsta
To love me better
Than all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That's just what gangsters do

I'm fucked up, I'm black and blue
I'm built for all the abuse
I got secrets that nobody, nobody, nobody knows
I'm good on that p#ssy shit
I don't want what I can get
I want someone with secrets that nobody, nobody, nobody knows

I made my maths homework and prepared a presentation for English. It was already starting to get a little dark outside so I walked to the kitchen where I saw the same girls as yesterday.
'Hey, I'm Lenna. I started living here since yesterday and I didn't really get the chance to introduce myself'
One of the girls looked at me shocked. She looked like she was around 26 years old. She was tall and slim, her blonde hairs were pulled back into a bun and she was wearing a black dress. The other girl had brown hair and was a little more curved than the other girl. she looked younger as well, she looked like she was 19.
The younger looking girl turned around to face me. 'Hey, Lenna. I'm Emma. I hope you don't mind me asking but how old are you? You look really young.'
'I'm sixteen but I'm turning 17 soon. How old are you?'
'Wait... you're only 16. How on earth did you get here?' The other girl said.
'Uhmm, Zale is my brother'
'Owhh, by the way my name is Sophie and I'm 28.' The tall girl that was apparently called Sophie said.
'Well it's nice meeting you. Is there anything I can help you guys with.' I said
'That is really kind of you to ask, but you really don't have to' Emma said
'No I want to, I like cooking. What are you guys making?' I asked as I walked over towards the stove where Emma stood seconds ago. There were potatoes and chicken, sprouts and some other vegetables. I helped the girls with chopping some broccoli. Around 15 minutes later we were finished and I joined the boys who were sitting at the dinning table already.

The rest of the night was calm and nothing happened really.
I took a quick shower and packed my bag with my school books. I jumped in bed and watched some Netflix.

'Sweetheart, you shouldn't have left. There is still time to come back. I don't want to hurt you. Not again.' The voice of my father boomed through the room. I opened my eyes as I was still asleep. When I finally fully adjusted to the light he was gone.
I was confused. Was my dad really here? What did he mean by his words?
Than I heard a gun shot. I screamed in surprise. And within seconds Axel and Zale where in my room.
'ARE YOU OKAY LENNA' Zale screamed at me.
'Yes I'm fine... I-I heard a gun shot.' I stuttered
'We know, it was nothing. Go back to sleep. I will see you in the morning' Zale said and he placed a quick kiss on my forehead.

But I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about my dad. What did he mean? Or was I already getting paranoid?
The next hours I had spend tossing and turning.

I'm so sorry I haven't uploaded in like a week! Won't happen again sorry!☺️😅
