What is Not

What is Family?

Family isn't about people you were born with but about those who you can give your all and they can equally return the gesture.

"So, you mean to tell me that one of us has to take over" Blake said sneering a little.

"Exactly what I mean" Steve said taking a sip of the vodka he had poured for himself. "You guys are the eldest, so it has to be one of you" he said. 

Yeah I was a day older than Blake. Not like a full twenty-four hours more like twelve hours. But i was still older.

"Since I'm a day older I should take over" I said not liking the idea but getting to this point in my life i can live with anything. I mean I've killed people.

"More like twelve hours" Blake said with an eye roll. So typical of him to remind me of the age gap.

"I definitely didn't call you here to argue about your age gap but to tell you that we will be testing you from now. The person with the highest score will be the new leader"Steve said.

The test can be anything and I'm really sure it may be something I really hate. 

"Do i have to know any other thing" I ask Steve narrowing my eyes as if to scare him. he let out a small laughter and shook his head.

"Now Blake,you are entitled to either stay here in grace-town or go to the border as you have been" Steve told him. 

I mentally plead that he goes back to the border, if he doesn't go back. He has to come live in the mansion and my chances of running to him are well- low. But more than every other thing I hate it when he is in town. He ruins the little fun i manage to get with his strictness.

"I'll stay over" Blake said. of course he had to ruin my fun. "The gang at the border will be okay, I'll give them orders from a secured line" He said his cockiness so big there was no way to hide it.

"That's wonderful" Steve said clapping. "Audrey are you going home already?" he asked. I nodded and he smiled. "Why don't you take Blake with you ?" He asked.

"Do I have a choice?"  I asked making sure he saw I was in no mood to spend my car ride with him.

"No, you don't. I will have taken him home but I have somethings to do. Why don't you give him a ride in your car. You always want to show off how fast it is" He said. I gave him  murderous glare as I stood up.

"See you at home"I said kissing his cheek. I walked out not caring if he was following me.

As I stalked out I waved at the gang members who were doing practically nothing. I was the perfect fit. I knew this gang so well. I was always the one in the commanding room. Blake stood at the border and took orders that came from me. I shook my head as i slid into my Mercedes. Blake opened up the passenger door and slid in. 

"You know I should be the one to drive" He said putting on his seat belt. 

"It's my car" I mumbled and turned on my playlist. I didn't bother myself to start a conversation with him. Even talking to Emerald at this stage will be better for me.

When we get home. I quickly lock the car and hurry up. I definitely do not want to stand his presence any longer than i already have. I rush to Heather's room to tell her what I faced today. 

"Big sis" she said throwing down her phone. "Where have you been ?" she said coming up to me.

"Was with Steve" I told her.

"Is he home ?" she asked as a smile lit up her lips. she was so beautiful it was hard for me not to be jealous of her. Her blonde hair she had decided to cut short, her reason being that it was had to use long hair to fight. A beautiful girl with her type of soul is supposed to live in a rich family where their business was legitimate not here where we had a lotto cover up. Her chocolate brown eyes shone as if tears lined inside them. Her round face and pink lips fitting her forever beautiful stature.

"No, he isn't home" I say killing her beautiful smile. "Although I brought a very annoying person home" 

"Blake" she said. Damn this girl knows me too much. I nodded and a laugh escaped her. "I still do not know why you do not like him" 

"He's a young guy, he'll just be twenty-one in three weeks times and yet he acts like he's going to seventy tomorrow" I say and a laugh escapes her lips again.

"Dinner's going to be awkward" she says and I can't help but agree with her.

Now fast forward to dinner time because we don't trust you enough to tell you all we spoke about.

"I didn't know you were home already" I say as I see Steve sitting at the table. Crystal, Castila, Jim, Ben, Heather, Liliana(Garret's wife)were all at the table. We are missing the devil of the show. I don't mean Garret, He had an important emergency.

I sit at my spot beside  Heather, ready for the meal to be served. We all had our hands connected together ready to say grace.I know right! People who shoot bullets to the heads of others saying grace.  When footsteps were heard. We all looked up. The devil finally decided to show up. 

Castila or Crystal gasped when they all saw him.

"Yeah i forgot to tell you guys. Blake will be staying with us" Steve said with a smile. I had the exact opposite of his expression. Blake gave all of us a tight nod.
