joey
i think about noah's suggestion for a second. i hate lexi jayde. we had a thing a while ago and i ended it, she wasn't too happy. she still thinks we're together and ruins everything i have with anyone.
although, if i do act as if i want her back, she could do this for us. i sigh but nod, "we could see if it will work, one of you call her." they nod and get back into conversation.
i turn and head to the stairs. i make my way up and walk into my bedroom. i see marie putting bandages on madison's leg where her wound was. i go over to the side of the bed and sit in a chair.
madison is asleep and she looks peaceful. i brush a part of her hair back behind her ear and caress her cheek. why did she have to be brought into this mess?
i promised myself i would keep her safe. "she should be waking up soon, the medicine doesn't last long." marie spoke, snapping me out of my thoughts.
i nod and she leaves the room. after she leaves, i sit there and think of how i'm going to keep
madison protected for what else is coming our way.
how am i supposed to tell her that other big gangs in the country are coming after us? she already knows that i'm the biggest gang leader, and that's all i want her to know.
i don't want any secrets about me or my past getting out. if i want to protect her, she'll have to trust me but if she finds out i'm keeping things from her, she won't trust me.
i was taken out of my thoughts by the sound of madison groaning. i looked over to her and her eyes were fluttered open. she squinted, not being used to the light in the room, then looked to me.
"joey, what happened?" she questioned groggily. "we got attacked and you were shot in the leg." she propped herself up on her arms to look at her leg then laid back down.
"wait," she said looking at me, "why were you guys attacked." she must not remember. "remember when i had you in the basement and i told you i am one of the biggest gang leaders."
she thought for a second then realized what i meant and nodded her head. we sat there in silence for a few minutes before madison tried to get up.
i went to her side and helped her up. she had a bit of a limp but she assured me she could walk, i didn't leave her side though. she's pushing through this pain because i know what it's like to get shot, and it's not pretty.
"uh joey, i have to use the bathroom." i nodded and helped her to the bathroom door. "i'll wait out here." she nodded and slowly made her way to the bathroom, shutting the door.
she was in there for about 2 minutes before i heard the door unlocking and her coming out. i put her arm over my shoulder but just then, my bedroom door opened.
landon walked in, he looked over at alexya and nodded. "nice to see your up, mads." he smiled at her. "landon." i growled. he looked from from madison to me, "sorry, sir."
"okay so what'd you come in here for?" i asked getting impatient. i noticed he took a gulp before speaking.
"lexi [jayde] is here."
