"If by well you mean bad, then yeah" I chuckled as I tried catching my breath. "Thanks"

"Don't mention it." He shook his head and placed a cigarette in between his lips. "Let's go clean that up" He pointed at the cut on my lower lip before he began walking away.

I followed. He led me to the parking lot, and invited me inside the car. I was hesitant, as usual.

"Just get inside" He sighed, rubbing his temple. I gulped and did as I was told. I watched him walk around the car to get in the driver's seat.

Once he did, he closed the door behind him. His hands began digging in the drawers of his car.

"Do you always get in trouble?" He asked, eyes focused on the drawers.

"Is that a trick question?" I smirked as I watched him. His eyes landed on mine, a smirk appearing on his face too.

"I'll take that as a yes" He chuckled, and handed me some tissues to clean the blood off my lip.

I wiped the tissue more aggressively than I had anticipated, making the wound sting and a loud groan escape my lips. "Agh, shit." I mumbled to myself, staring at the blood stained tissue.

He rolled his eyes. "Here," He offered himself to do it and grabbed the tissue from my hand. He lifted my chin up with his fingers and held my chin before he smoothly dabbed the material against the cut.

I watched the concentration on his face. The green on his eyes, and his plump lips that held the lit cigarette.

"The way you carry yourself makes me think you've been in many fights." He spoke as his hands did the job.

I cracked a proud smile. "You could tell"

He stopped and leaned back on his seat. "I can see that in your eyes."

Silence took over us. I watched the smoke leave his lips as he stared at the long road ahead of us. There was a lot I did not know about him, for he always seemed mysterious. He had eyes I could not decode.

"Let me ask you something, Raine" He said.

He already knew my real name.

My eyes darted at his, locking mine with his. "Do you think, I'm a bad brother?" He asked. I could tell he wanted a genuine answer. And with a face like his, I couldn't lie straight away.

I took my time to find the right words to tell him, but just as I was about to respond, he answered his own question.

"No" He shook his head, letting out a sad chuckle. "I'm literally the worst."
