El punto de vista de Gabriel

"No fuck.She can't come and stay together with me. Jessica isn't going to take too kind to it." Liam was trying to get me to take Lea back to the room together with me. I didn't want to. It's going to be cramped up all over and Lea, being born in a rich family and lived in a mansion for her whole life, she wouldn't want to stay in a room that has barely enough space to walk or sit down. The whole room just consisted of my single bed and a chair. There was nothing at all except for those two furniture. I had never thought of anyone living together with me in the room. It's already cramped up without someone in there. Lea wouldn't be able to stand it

Shaking my head at him, I took a long drag from my cigarette. We were at a safe distance from the mansion already and Lea was complaining about not being able to bring along her slippers and the pain the asphalt is causing. I never said anything about the glass shards in my feet. It's not like they can do anything about it anyways. I was getting use to the pain the glass shards are causing together with the asphalt. I felt like rubbing my feet against the asphalt to get all of the glass shards to come out but I decided not to because it'll just make me end up losing my feet.

I don't want to lose my feet over some glass shards in my feet. I exhaled the smoke from my nose, looking over at Lea, who was sitting on the curb and rubbing her sore leg. It probably isn't sore. It's probably all bleeding already. Together with her princess feet, I think that her feet is already filled with wounds from the asphalt. "Who the fuck is Jessica? I thought you got a place over at Kow town together with Conrad."

Liam looked at me, wide eyed "What the hell is that supposed to mean? Jessica is my fucking girlfriend. She'll kill me if I brought Lea home together with me. She doesn't take too kindly on anyone and I had a hell of a time trying to please her. And - " He broke off when he heard Lea complaining about her feet again. He went silent for a while before saying "Who the fuck is Conrad to me? He's just a good brother. I have Jessica as a girlfriend. Not fucking Conrad"

I raised an eyebrow at him, taking another long drag from my cigarette. I held in the smoke for a while before blowing it out through my mouth, looking at Lea when she stood up and limped her way to the tree behind her "I thought you and Conrad are together? Why were you so worked up when Conrad died? You sure you aren't together with him?" I was confused. One minute he was so mad about Conrad's death that it made everything seem like they are in a relationship. But the next minute, he says something about having a girlfriend and staying together with her at Kow town"

Liam looked back at her sister and offered her a smile before turning back over to me "Conrad is my fucking brother-in-law!" He said "It's why I was so worried about him! How am I going to tell Jessica right now that he's dead?"

I looked at him "What? You're married to Jessica?" I didn't know this. Liam knows that we shouldn't have a relationship together with anyone in this world while we're in the gang. He knows this well enough to not get himself interested in a woman like how he is right now.

Liam nodded his head, still looking back at his sister "Yes, I just recently got married to her. It was private. Rambo can't know about this and neither can anyone. I just - Look dude, can you please just take Lea over to your room and just get this over with? I need to call the maid and then the butler and then my mom and dad and I have to make up a lie to tell everyone just for it to look real for the public and everyone in my whole fucking life. What am I supposed to do right now? Lea is just another burden"

I raised an eyebrow at him, taking a step backwards. The pain shot through my feet agonizingly but I couldn't let him see the pain in my face. "The house isn't a safe place anymore for anyone. I'm involved, I involved myself in something that I shouldn't and it has something to do with the substances tonight. Lea isn't my sister. I don't have time to take care of her. She's your sister. She trusts you and believes in you. She doesn't like me that much. You have the right to take her in and explain to Jessica or I will" I was annoyed that Liam is trying to be nonsensical. Who knows Jessica and Lea can turn into good friends one day? They haven't met yet and maybe it's going to click. Their friendship.
