•Leilani's POV•

"Sissy wakes up, me hungry for food, " Max said, waking me up.

Today was the day I had to go home. I'm probably going to get beaten.

I got up and carried Max downstairs to the kitchen.

I sat him on the counter, so I could get some ingredients to make breakfast for Max and the rest of the guys that were there.

I made some eggs, bacon, and sausage. I gave Max a plate of food and while I was making myself a plate, all of the guys came into the kitchen to eat. The aroma of the food must have woken them up.

Max sat down at the dining table and I sat down too.

We were eating in silence until Noah, Mr. Mysterious, decides to speak,

"Thank you for making food. Luke doesn't know how to cook and he's too lazy to hire someone to cook for us."

"Oh, you're welcome." I said to Noah, surprised that he even talked to me.

More silence.

"Are you guys leaving today?" Carson asked, sad that we were leaving.

"Yeah, but I was wondering if Max could stay here with you guys. He is always bored at home and he really likes it here. I would come back when I got some more money to rent an apartment and I would visit him sometimes while I am gone." I lied about a few parts but some of my statement was true.

"Can Max stay, Lukey? I can watch him," Carson asked, fluttering his eyelashes at Luke. It took a lot of effort not to laugh when he called Luke, Lukey.

"Sure whatever," Luke said, his attention going back to his phone, typing away.

I cleaned up the kitchen once everyone was done. Max was playing with Carson and Noah was sitting on the couch on his phone.

Carter was too busy so I decided to ask Noah where Luke was.

"Where's Luke?" I asked. Noah turned to me, bored.

"He's in his office, like always," Noah answered.

I walked up to his office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." He muttered in a deep voice.

I walked in and sat down.

"Can you take me back home?" I asked.

"Yeah, can you give me a minute?"

"Yes," I said.

I sat there trying not to think about anything. You know the time when, in your head, nothing pops up and all you see is a black screen. That's how it was for me while I was waiting for Luke to finish up whatever he was doing.

What do gang leaders even do?

Are they all like this? Always in an office and on a computer.

But, like, what is their actual job? Other than telling some guys what to do and teaching them how to fight. I guess he might hack into some stuff, but who know's? Maybe I'll figure it out soon.

•••

Once he finally finished, we walked out of his office and down the stairs to where everyone was at.

Noah strided over towards Luke.

"Luke, did you get any information about them?" Noah asked nonchalantly.

"Yeah. He..." Luke said back telling Noah what he found out about "them".

I was so bored and wanted to go home so I just tuned out their conversation.

I also didn't even know who the people Noah called "them" are. I hope they aren't the people who are trying to come and attack me.

Carter and Carson left the room with Max a few minutes before Noah and Luke started conversing, so therefore I had no one to talk to. I could always go find them but I just wanted to go back to the place I call home.

The only reason I wanted to go home is because if I stay here any longer, my punishment is going to be way worse than it usually is.

I don't want that.

•••

"Are you guys done talking yet?" I asked them, very annoyed.

It has been, like, an hour and a half, at least it feels like it.

I was still really bored and anxious to get home.

"Yeah, hang on," Luke said while Noah just kind of gave me a look that said, 'Just leave us be and let us talk about this'

"Ok, please hurry."

"Why? What's the rush?" Noah asked rudely.

"Nothing, I just want to go back home so I can work," I answered with my head down.

"You know if you are still here, you can go to work. We have people who can take you," Noah said, prying me for the true reason I wanted to get home.

I wasn't going about to tell Noah or Luke. I don't even know if I can trust them or even the rest of the gang.

"It doesn't really matter anyway. Can you just hurry and finish talking?" I snapped back.

"Yeah, we are done," Luke said.

"Ok, so can we go?"

"Yes, let's go," Luke said, walking towards the front door that lead to his car.
