Delilah

I was frozen to the ground when I saw my brother standing in the middle of the living room. "Where the hell did you came from?" I shot at him as I felt the anger taking control over me. He never cared to be there for me, so how does he dare to show up now?

"From home, to see you." Louis said as he sat down on the couch besides Grayson. I laughed at him as I shook my head.

"Hell no, you're returning." I said as I walked over to him and pulled him off the couch. I felt he tried to tangle me but I turned his arm around, and pushed him to the ground. "Don't you dare, to fight your little sister." I hissed at him as I heard him groan of the pain.

"Fine!" Louis almost yelled and I let go of him. I ran a hand through my hair as I watched him getting of the ground. "I just came to check up on you when Grayson told me you were back." Louis said and I frowned immediately. I looked from Louis to Grayson and then it hit me.

"You are in the same gang as him?!" I yelled at Grayson and I saw his shock.

"I didn't know he was your brother! You only mentioned him before but I had never seen him, not even on a picture!" Grayson defended himself.

"Wait, you're in a gang?" Emma asked in disbelief. I almost forgot she was here as well.

"Louis. Get. The. Fuck. Out." I said in anger.

"Oh, I like that face. This is the part of you that screams to hurt someone, maybe even murder." Louis said as I saw the joy on his face. I attacked him and pushed him against the wall as I held my hand wrapped around his neck.

"I will fucking murder you if you don't leave!" I shot at him as I choked him a little. I saw his lips slowly became blue, and that's when I felt Grayson's arms pulling me away. He forced me to let go of Louis, and I was out of breath because of my anger.

"Don't fuck yourself up, Delilah. We both know you don't want this side to take control over you." Grayson whispered in my ear. I slowly nodded as a response as I looked towards Emma and Ethan.

"Until this jerk has left, you can find me at Emma's." I said as I looked at Grayson. His eyes turned to sadness but this was the only way to get away from reality.

"You know you can't avoid Louis now he knows you're back." Ethan said and I immediately looked at him. He was kind of right, Grayson was in the same gang as Louis and he won't stop searching for me if I left.

"Well, in that case." I said as I turned back to Louis. I slowly walked over to him again as my eyes narrowed. "What the hell do you want from me?" I said at him as I watched every move of him.

"I just want my sister back." Louis said and I could even hear a slight bit of sadness in his voice. I tilted my head a little as I was figuring out whether I should believe him or not. "I know I have abandoned you all my life, but I just need my little sister back. Whatever it takes." Louis said and I saw he tried to hold back his tears.

"I'm already dealing with one person who's in a gang. Why should I deal with you too? You know I hate these stuff." I said to Louis. I saw he looked at Grayson, Ethan and Emma.

"Maybe we should have this conversation somewhere else." Louis said when our eyes met again. I slowly nodded at him as I realized Grayson and Ethan didn't know the full story of my life. And Emma doesn't even know a quarter of it.

"You're not leaving with him." Grayson said as he crossed his arms. I rolled my eyes at him as I faced him.

"Come on, Grayson. He may have abandoned me all my life but he never hurt me physically and I know he won't." I said as I looked back at Louis. "Right?" I asked him to give Grayson more confirmation.

"I would never hurt you physically in a million years." Louis said and I saw Grayson was still doubting it.

"Hey! You're in the same gang as him, and you didn't hurt me physically." I said to Grayson and I saw he loosened up a bit.

"Fine." Grayson said as he sat down on the couch. I turned towards Emma and gave her a small smile.

"I will be back in an hour, then we can show them what we bought, ok?" I asked Emma and I saw she nodded heavily. I gave her a hug as I grabbed Grayson's car keys again. "I'm taking your car, bye!" I said and dragged Louis with me before Grayson could say anything. It felt odd to be with Louis again after all those years, especially when he wants my forgiveness.

After the ride.

Louis and I decided to go to Starbucks, since we could talk privately there. Once we ordered our coffees and received them, we sat down at a table for two and just looked at each other.

"I'm sorry for being a dick all the time, it's just that I got caught up in... all this mess." Louis said and I saw the regret in his eyes. Louis always was a terrible liar, and I could see he really meant his words.

"I will forgive you under one condition, maybe two." I said as I took a sip from my coffee. I saw Louis nodded at me as a small smile formed on his face. So he would really so anything for my forgiveness? "How and why did Grayson enter your gang?" I asked Louis and I saw his smile faded away immediately. He let his head fall for a second as he might be finding the right words.

"One day..." Louis started as he looked back up into my eyes. "I saw him, in an alley, being more drunk then I thought was possible. I asked him if he was alright, and that's when he told me the whole story. He thought I was just a stranger, not your brother. His story... it made me think of how I left you and that's when I needed to keep him close if I ever wanted to find you again. Not long after you became kind of famous when you started working for Kyle Taylor. By that time Grayson was already in the gang, and I never told him I was your brother until this very day." Louis told me and I slowly nodded at him so he knew I listened.

"And why did he enter?" I asked Louis and I saw he bit his lip.

"He felt worthless, like he didn't deserve a single thing for what he did to you. I saw how that vulnerable, drunk boy changed into a selfish, narcissistic man. He didn't care who he killed, who he tortured. All he cared about was punishing people and himself." Louis said and took a short break. "Until you came back." He said and I saw a sparkle come alive in his eyes.

"I see..." I whispered to him as I let everything sink in that he just told me. "If you can show me that you really changed, I am willing to forgive you." I said to Louis and his smile grew bigger on his face.

"Thank you..." Louis said, barely above a whisper. I gave him a small smile as I got lost in my thoughts as I drank my coffee.
