Perfect Storm

chapter 1.

-Ruby, can you pick the twins out of school today? Dylan and I are going to a meeting and I have no idea how long it will take.- My mum texts me as I'm getting ready for class, I need to be at work at 8 p.m but I also can ask grandpa to take them after, I know that technically he's not their real grandpa but he loves them and treats them like they are his grandchildren so that's what I'll do with them if mum and Dylan won't be done by then.

-Yes, mum sure, but after 8 pm I'll leave them with grandpa, I have to go to work- she reads the text and answers...

-Thanks, love, don't let them eat McDonald's after school take them home and ask Lily to make them something- Lily is the family chef she looks like she is in her late 40s, I never asked her how old she actually is I just think that this is rude especially if  she is younger than what I think. Lily is the nicest person in the world she once stayed with me for a whole week when I was sick and mum and grandpa were in Mexico for business, I was seven so Dylan and the twins weren't in our lives yet.

-ok, mum bye I gotta go, love you-

-bye, love you!- text reads.

I love living in my own apartment close to campus, I don't really have a lot of friends but I do have Ethan, I met him in high school when he broke up with his boyfriend and got bullied for being gay since his boyfriend decided that he's into girls now and cheated on him with the bully herself, Ethan was heartbroken and got humiliated on a daily basis so I decided to be there for him and since then we have been inseparable.

"Wow Ruby you look cute today," Ethan tells me as I take my seat next to him.

"Thank you, you look like a snack yourself," I tell him and we laugh, I love how easy it is between us, I can say whatever I want and he will never judge me.

"You wanna hang out after classes?" he asks me.

"Um... If you wanna come and hang out with me and the twins then sure" I tell him and he smiles at me.

"They're the reason I'm your friend are you joking?" he tells me and shoots me a glare I try to look hurt and imitate a heartache but he laughs because that obviously just looked ridiculous.

"Ohh shut up Ethan" I smile at him and the professor starts talking. I am an econ major as well as Ethan. I'm not good with numbers but my mum wants me to be a part of her company one day so basically, it was her decision, not mine. My grades are fine they aren't the best in class but good enough for my mum. If the decision was mine I would be an art major, I was always interested in art and design and everything that comes with it.

"Do you have a shift at the bar today?" Ethan asks me as we walk out of class.

"Yes at 8 pm," I tell him.

"Girl, that's late all the bikers will be there, you always took the afternoon shifts" he looks at me with a worried expression on his face.

"They are just bikers, not killers or something I'm sure I can handle them," I tell him, seriously they are normal people who own a motorcycle what's the big deal.
