What is Love?

The Basement

ALONZO

"I'd love nothing more." The screen goes black. Jaden can cook?

"WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING?! ARE YOU INSANE?!" I shout at Nick, finally breaking this ungodly silence.

"I'll tell you later. Right now I have a future brother in law of mine in the basement waiting for me." With that said, he walks out of the room ignoring our stares.

"Sooo, what's for lunch? I'm starving my ass off." We all turn to look at Derek with blank/pissed off looks.

"For once I agree with Derek. We all need to catch a break from all this drama. Perhaps a lunch together would do us some good." Says Jack, calmly.

"You must be joking! Nothing we do will help us get past this feud! I would rather kill myself then to have lunch with all of you!" Screams Jaden.

"For once I agree with the village idiot!" I say.

"What did you just call me?" I widen my eyes, realizing that I just made the mistake of calling a blonde an idiot. I'm done for!

"Uh oh, now you've done it Alonzo! You're officially dead meat. See you in hell!" Derek says, then runs out of the room.

"Bloody coward." I mumble.

MJ get up from her chair and as fast as lightning, she grabs Jack's gun from it's holster and points it directly at me.

"You are right. I am an idiot. An idiot that was trained to be a fucking assassin! You asked me that night if I was sent here to kill you. I answered that question with a no and said I was only here to gather info. But the bitter truth, is I was here to gather info until the time came and I got the go-ahead, so I could kill you. You insolent insignificant f..." She immediately drops the gun and falls to the ground with a thud.

I look around the room trying to spot the culprit and find Diana in the doorway, looking bored and holding a tranquilizer gun in her hand. Her foot now has a cast on it and she is sitting in a wheelchair.

"Will someone please explain to me why I woke up to my sister throwing a tantrum." None of us answer her. "I'm waiting."

"Asshole, called her an idiot." Says Ryder, gently picking Jaden up bridal style. He leaves the room grumbling about how he's sick of her being unconscious.

"Diana, shouldn't you be in bed resting?" Asks Vanessa, in a concerned motherly sort of way.

"I was in bed. But as I said, my little sister woke me up with her damn tantrum! Now that I'm up though, I would like to know where Nick is. "

"He's in the middle of something." I say.

"In the middle of what exactly?" She says looking at me dead in the eyes.

"Uh...uh...he's in the basement." I say. She's honestly really scaring me right now.

"Thank you. Derek?!" Derek comes running back inside and kneels beside Diana, who's still in the wheelchair.

"Yes ma'am?" I snicker at that.

"Could you please go fetch my crutches from my old room?" She asks/demands, in a sweet voice.

"Yes ma'am." He says standing up and saluting her like a soldier ready for battle. He leaves and we all stare at Diana in shock.

"How did you do that? Can you teach me?" Asks Van exasperated. I narrow my eyes at her wondering if she intends to make me do her biding. Not that I don't already do that, due to her being pregnant and all.
