EIRA'S POV:
Perspiration trickling down my spine, heart running a marathon I stare at the ground trying to brace myself for the embarrassment that was being thrown at me. Betrayer, daughters cop, how could we let her in and play us like that. She is just justins saliva exchanging partner, temprorary side hoe. That was the last stroke. Justin's anger probably fumed as his arms instinctively wrapped around my waist pulling me closer as his voice firmly shouted " if yall don't shut your mouth rn I will permanently shut them for you. If it wasn't for her all of you would be spending you pat day in jail with that orange jumpsuit looking real nice on you" he said. AWKWARD SILENCE fell in the air till Kaneiko gave me a hard gentle stare contemplating whether to ban me or let this slip. He gave me a crooked smile, his rough hand patted my head as he told the crew I was gonna stay. Cause this kid did not betray us or tell the police on us, that I risked my life to save theirs. He ignored Jackson's pleads of how his pops was going insane and left. " I am sorry love, but this gang is all we have left. If there is any kind of threat our defense mode is turned on. We really like you Eira. And we are sorry" Lisa spoke, then hugged me to proof her it. I hugged back and Toby offered me to pick any car to make up for the way they hurt me. I was beyond excited. My gaze falling at all the vehicles lined up. After having an intenral battle with myself, I sighed in defeat, making my way to Justin I gave him a puppy dog face, and dramatically rubbed my face against his chest. He placed a kiss on my head humming in response. "Its so hard Justin. I don't know much about cars". He smiled at me gently planting a kiss this time on my lips. "Just look at them and you will know. You can feel it in your bones. Trust me" he replied. I took another glance, eyes captivated on one car shining in its glory.
"That one, I love how this once looks" I said pointing at it. " A porshee spyder? don't you think its a bit too much for you?" Jackson's taunting voice spoke. The anger rising within me, does he have to bring his arrogant ass and ruin everything for me? "well I am not normal am I? I am not an ordinary girl considering I saved all of you asses" I snapped back. The look on his face was priceless. He was certainly taken aback but can you blame me I am beyond tired of his repetitive tactics and him ruining every single moment for me. I moved away from justin, walking over to trace my fingertips on the exterior of the car. It was truly a beautiful sight.
Justin came from behind, his tattooed arms wrapping around my waist, sliding to open the door for me. He nudged me to take a seat and blabbered along how amazing I looked which reminded me back of the day we met at the party. I remained silent admiring his features. He was truly gifted by God in every aspect, yet he was truly deprived of the life he deserved. To be a normal human, away from this criminal life. Where he could put his mind, soul and intelligence into things that would make me someone, much more and better in this world. Justin haulted his words as he caught me staring but instead of giving those infamous smirk, he bent down gently capturing his lips on to mine. I melted right there and right then. How could have i gotten so lucky?
The day passed by fast. Justin and the crew had really grown onto me, and basically took my entire day. They were ruining me, but I was in for it. You know that one roller coaster ride that always stands out, scares you and yet you would still do anything to ride it? Just for the thrill of it? Yup. Thats me right now. Maybe justin was right. Maybe its that rush of adrenaline or maybe the excitement of breaking rules and boundaries for once, that led to this day that instead of just being unprepared for my BIG WORLD HISTORY TEST I ended up missing it altogether. But I am not bothered. I am still Quite set right as valedetorian of the class. See? Being bright pays off at times. I was so lost in my train of thoughts I didn't even notice Layla calling out my name. I broke out of my trance, my eyes snapping right back at her. "Yeah sorry what?" I replied. "See this is the problem? You are so obsessed with Justin you hardly make time for me. I said I am breaking up with Danny. We ended up in a fight cause I told him that long distance relationship weren't working. And since you said we all could enjoy changes for once I am making some big ones even though it hurts" she said, now her tears glistening through her eyes. I didn't say a word, but engulfed her in a hug. "Babygirl I am sorry. I know I have been pre occupied. When I said changes I didn't mean any of us to go this far, it was just as exemplary just for the little thrill and fun. You need to sort this over" I replied and pulled away. But now Layla's face turned into a anguish scowl. "NO EIRA. ITS YOU WHO HAS TO FIGURE IT OUT. YOU ARE LIKE A PERSON WITH SPLIT PERSONALITY. YES I TOLD YOU TO GO LIVE A LITTLE. TOLD YOU TO DATE THAT MR HOTSHOT BUT I DIDNT MEAN FOR YOU TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THE EXISTENCE AND CHOOSE A BUNCH OF CRIMINALS OVER THE PEOPLE THAT ALWAYS CARED FOR YOU AND WERE THERE FOR YOU. THANK YOU ANYWAYS BYE" she stood up, her chest heaving rapidly up and down. A few stares from the by standers at the ice cream parlour is all I got. No. No issue at all. I feel so torn, I feel like I am sinking at everyone is just watching with anxious look, yet no one is helping me out but blaming me. All except that one person reaching out, his outstretched hand out for me, kneeling and giving me that "I am here for you" look. That person is the Justin.
