Finding Maze

Chapter 36

Haze Pov

" It was around few years back we were selling women for money. It was too much for our small gang but we were ready to manage it, back then I really wanted to impress my dad. Tyler and I were enemies before we got into the gang world, Tyler was only being my dad's watchdog, and when I started a gang, he didn't like it. He didn't like the fact that my dad's interest, though less, completely shifted on me. Tyler felt unfair I guess, he worked with my dad for years and the moment the ungrateful son came into picture my dad ditched him. Since then we have been grave enemies.

Prostitution deepened the fued we have, at the time none of us personally took over the prostitution directly. I made some members from our gang to do it, and that was where I went wrong. They picked up Tyler's own sister Cristina, and none of us knew about it. But by the time we could stop anything, she died.

Tyler, obviously, blames me for his sister's death and is not ready to stop until and unless he kills me or some shit "

I eyed Miley, her face was bored, like we were wasting her time by telling her nonsense. She nodded her head and reached out to pick up her bag as she said "that explains the reason why you both hate each other"

I shrugged and glanced at Nicole, she was looking at Miley with a surprised look too. This made me wonder just how much Miley knew about the working of a gang.

"I am gonna go home and change and get some things for Jenna. Can you drop me home?" Miley asked me.

"Of course" I said shrugging my shoulders.

Miley nodded her head and with a sigh she turned to Nicole," Can you stay with Jenna? Stefan's parents will be here at anytime, just give them heads-up when they come "

"Sure I'll take care of it" Nicole replied.

"Alright, thanks" Miley said with a smile, a small weak smile, it was the first time since this past week she has shown a smile, the right cheek dipped a little inside showing off her one-sided dimple. She brushed her hair with her fingers and turned to me, "let's leave ?" She asked.

I gave her a nod and took the bag from her hand as we walked out.

From the hospital till Jenna's house the car ride was silent, Miley was staring outside the window, she sat so close to the door of the car that if she accidentally opened the door she would fly out. I kept glancing at her hoping she would talk or at least shift away from the door, but she seemed to ignore me the whole of the ride.

Miley got out of the car and went to the front of her door leaving me behind. I took her bag in my hand and walked inside the house. I could hear footsteps above knowing Miley would have gone for a shower, I took my time to make coffee for both of us. I didn't have to, but I felt like she needed it.

Miley entered the living room the moment I sat on the couch, her slender fingers looped over the handle of the coffee cup as she took a sip. As much as I wanted to know what she was thinking I wanted her to break the silence, but she didn't so we just drank our coffee in silence.

"I am not gonna breakdown, Haze " she said, after some time.

" I know " I said nodding my head. I knew she wouldn't cry, I don't know how I knew that, but it felt like it wouldn't be her if she cried.

" I just want to.. " she trailed off.

" to? "

" do all the things that my mind has planned for Tyler. I can see a movie of endless torture I am gonna give Tyler for touching Jenna twice " she said.
