His Property

Ch. 12

I could not even tell if I felt hungry aymore. Honestly I did not even know what to think anymore about anything.

"Dominic is your dad?" I asked him. From what I heard today, Dominic is a cruel guy and now he attacks his own son? What sick human does that?

"No. Dominic is not my dad. He works for my father." Elijah picked up a fork and started digging in into his plate. Dianne had brough us both some chicken alfredo that smelled divine.

I picked up my fork as well and decided to stuff my mouth before I asked another question.

"Look when we met, which was around two days ago, I did not want to tell you my name because my father is a pretty powerful man around this place especially with the gangs and newbies in the streets. They all know he has a son and he roams freely around. My father does not get along with everyone and ever since he started his business, people have held grudged against him for not keeping his promises. He drove my mother to depression which ended up in killing herself. He has not been the same ever since." Elijah was leaning on the table with both his hands beneath his chin as support. He was starring into space while i tried to find the right words to say.

"You were at the party yesterday. Was his whole plan to kill you?" It has only been three days and I have already been dragged in a mess that has nothing to do with me. Learning more about the attack yesterday night probably will not have much impact anymore considering I lived it.

"No. I do not think he knew I was there the whole time. Nor do I care if he finds out I was there. Me and damon are stepbrothers. Same dad different mothers. Damon's mother is still alive. He just never wanted his mother to have the child. Of course the love of a mother is more strong than anything in this world and his mom did not plan on giving him up. Damon still has his whole life ahead."

"How come it looks like you guys do not get along very well? Is it because of the whole mother situation?" God what is this? An interview? I was doubting my career as a book writer. Might as well just work for TMZ or something.

"Of course not. Damon and I came from different mothers but I do not want anything more then to him to find the hapiness he has been looking for in a while. Damon got involved in with some other gang members and he hates my father. I mean so do I but damon wants him dead. And damon does not give up unless he gets what he wants." Elijah was now halfway finished with his plate and here I was having difficulty trying to swallow the chicken down.

"Wow um.. that is a lot to process." I had only met Eijah for three days and yet I felt like we have known each other for a while now. He was those kind of people who you can simply click with and get along with very well. It is just unexplainable.

"I know. I mean we just met but you already got involved in quite a mess doll. You got involved the second I laid my eyes on you." I did not know what he was trying to tell me exactly. I do not think I would anytime soon.

"Finish up. I have somewhere to be in a couple of hours." With that we continued finishing our plate until we had to leave.

Elijah had dropped me off two hours ago. I was still at mays house because being alone was not something I wanted to be at this point. I was still pretty scared of the previous events.

Alex, may, and I were laying on the floor, scattered around watching shameless on tv. Really though, none of us were actually paying to the show as much as we wanted to distract our thougts.

That was until I stood up from my position to ask may the unexpected.

"Hey you have known jack for a while now. Has he told you about the things he does in his free time?" I asked her.

She stopped eating her taco and focused her attention on me.

"I am guessing Elijah told you about the business they do." She said taking a drink of her soda.

"Well he just said that his dad had something to do with the attack yesterday and how damon wants their father dead." Out of nowhere, Alex started coughing and decided to stand up from her position as well.

"Wait they are brothers?"

"Step brothers. And what kind of business are they in?" I asked turning back to may.

"If I head correctly, they are drug dealers sabri. And I do not want to get my best friends involved with this so please stop asking questions." She returned back to eating her tacos and I turned to alex confused as I was.

How come elijah never mentioned the drug dealing?
