Teenage Crime Affairs (Ninjago Mafia AU)

Chapter 13: The City

~Skylor's POV~

"Hey, Sky! Sit next to me!" I hear a voice call out as I enter the kitchen. Today's the last day on this fucking bus and we should arrive by morning, and I'm conflicted on whether I should be relieved or even more terrified.

I look over to see Nya patting the chair next to her, "Sure." I responded as I sat down at the table next to Nya. Surprisingly, Jay got everyone to have dinner together in the kitchen. Cole, Jay, and Lloyd sat on the opposite side of Nya, Pixal, and I in the booths. Dareth and Ronin sat on one end and Kai sat on the other end. I'm glad to say that Kai has calmed down, just a small headache apparently said from him, but it's gone already. I felt like playing that game might've led to hell but oh well, can't help us dumbass teens.

"I hope you all will enjoy a portion of Shrimp Alfredo." I hear Zane behind me as he placed a plate of the pasta and shrimp in front of me, a fork on the plate. "Can I get wine to drink?" I ask with a wink and in return Zane gave me this scary glare, "You get, water, juice, milk, or nothing." He simply stated and Kai and I groan at the same time. "Bullshit, why cant we get booze? We brought some along." I hear my boyfriend speak up, "Uh, actually, I brought some along, you sneaky bastards. Plus do you really need to drink after what happened?" I then hear Ronin speak up towards Kai.

The room went awkwardly quiet for a moment, "Grape juice will be fine." I muttered, breaking the uncomfortable silence. I think I can't wait to get at the penthouse we'll be staying at for our weeks, we all have our own rooms so it won't be as awkward if we get into a fight, but at the very same time..I'm dreading stepping into this hell hole. It's great seeing everyone else excited for this but, that's because they don't know my history behind this cursed hell.

"Babe? You okay?" I hear a familiar voice and look up to see Kai waving his hand at me. "Y-Yeah I'm fine, of course." I chuckled nervously as Zane placed a wine glass down with grape juice next to my plate. Zane places everyone else's drinks and sits next to Kai to keep an eye on him I suppose. Swirling my fork around the pasta, stabbing a shrimp too, listening to the small chatter being brought up by none other but Dareth. Putting the fork in my mouth and humming at the deliciousness of Zane's cooking, closing my eyes as I wonder into my thoughts about what's happening around me.

"Hey tootsie-pop!" I hear being yelled and I quickly jump out of my thoughts, "Excuse me? You wanna try that again you fucking dickhead." I growled at Ronin as he laughed. "What did I say about calling me that?" I instantly snapped back as the asshole continued to laugh. "Maybe if you quit spacing out on us and answer our questions." I hear Ronin sass back to me, which takes a lot of balls. Especially when he knows I'm not a pussy ass bitch and I will drop kick him in his saggy ass balls.

"What questions?" I spoke up, eyeing everyone looking at me. I stopped at Cole as he raised his hand slightly, "Didn't you mention that you had some history in the city?" He asked me. "Yes. I do. I don't wanna talk about it, at all. Especially with a dickhole like Ronin." I mumbled in reply to Cole.

"Hey, what about me?" I suddenly hear and I turn my head to Kai. "I love you and all, but it's honestly something I don't want anyone knowing. It's not because I don't trust you, it's because I don't trust this damn city or wanna remember anything that happened while I lived here. So can we please drop the topic?" I explain, ignoring the small voice crack the croaked from my dry throat.

I kept my eyes on Kai, waiting for a snarky, cocky, or bitchy comment from him saying how he's my boyfriend and we shouldn't hide shit. I waited but nothing was said, he just nods his head at me and looked down at his plate and continued to eat. I quickly glanced at Nya as she did the same to me, because we know damn well Kai would have never reacted like that to how I responded. Which means something's up.
