Petro P.O.V

I walked into the lobby of the hotel smiling at the lady at the front desk then practically dashed up the stairs straight towards my room. I slid the card into the slot frantically, barging inside of the room. Jasmine was sprawled out on the couch indulging in a sandwich. She sat up with her elbows behind her to look at me.

"Hi, you okay?" She said watching me closely. I ran a hand through my damp hair dye to the rain. "Well, I'm kinda freaking out right now" I said grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. Jasmine watched me nervously as I gulped the whole thing down.

"Petro calm down, what's wrong?" She said getting up from the couch to walk over to me. "It's not what's wrong, it what's right" I said smiling. She looked at me quirking a brow.

"We found Keegan, he gonna be at a little LA party tonight, that's when we do it" I say laughing. She purses her lips nodding her head at me, still not being pleased by my killing. "Babe, were not about to do this" I say groaning.

"Babe I just think, if you avoided him at all cost, you would be fine, I mean seriously, all this money put in to killing this one guy?" She said shaking her head. I roll my eyes getting annoyed, we were having the same damn conversation again.

"Jesus Jasmine, he's not just some guy! He's a crazy fucktard! He's killed more then I could even tell you, not to mention that he hates me!" I said my voice now rising.Jasmine rolled her eyes "Oh relax! We could move to Washington near my family" she said shrugging her shoulders. I squint at her.

"What the hell" I say confused. She rolls her eyes. "Never mind, just kidding" she said flopping back down on the couch. I eyed her then brushed it off. "Where's Sofia?" I said walking into the next bedroom. Sofia was on the floor painting her toe nails.

She didn't hear me when I walked in, her earbuds blocking everything in the world. I smiled watching my little sister live a semi normal life.. better then what I had anyways. She missed dad. So did I. She looked up suddenly noticing my appearance. She smiled a little then plucked the buds out her ears. "Hi" she said lowly.

"Hi" I said back leaning against the doorframe. She patted the place next to her gesturing for me to sit. I closed the door then sat next to her on the carpet. "What were you and your lady just arguing about?" She said grabbing my hand to pain my pinkies with the black color.

"Nothing you need to worry about" I said sighing. She nodded her head concentrating on not getting any polish on my skin. "Hey, I never apologized for yelling at you at the airport, I was just a little stress" I said chewing on my bottom lip. She nodded her head ignoring me. After a few minutes I interrupted the silence. "Sofia, what are doing?" I said watching her. She looked up cocking her head to the side.

"Painting your crusty nails" she said continuing. I shook my head. "No, why are you here, why aren't you with mom" I said my voice quiet. She stopped painting placing the bottle down on the floor. She sighed. I brought my unpainted hand to her chin lifting it so that she was looking at me.

"You can tell me" I said smiling softly. "Ok...mom has a boyfriend" my face immediately dropped when she said the words. "That's impossible she said she would never date again" I said getting mad. "Well, we needed the money, she wants me to go to college" she says sighing.

My hands balled into fist. "I send money all the time why doesn't she just use that" I say confused. Sofia pursed her lips looking down at her toes. "Sofia.." I say waiting for her to speak. "It's not enough for the new.. shit" she said her cheeks turning red from the frustration.
