Chapter Twenty Nine

Chapter Twenty Nine

Intertwined.

I walk ahead of Richard making sure I don't trip, We walk threw the dimly lighted streets where a couple of people we strolling around. "You don't even know where we'er going." Richard commented with a bit of attitude in his voice. "Shut up I know where going to the tree swing,I'm not fucking stupid." I said looking back at him just so I could give him a dirty look. "Well sorry, its been a while." He muttered under his breath. "I wonder who's fault that is?" I say sarcastically tilting my head slightly to the side. We walk further into the slums of the city, the glass buildings start to turn to brick and the streetlights began fade into darkness, we come to the open flied that was once beautiful, but now its all dead and lifeless now. I suck in a deep breath and step into the grass, this is the place I saw my brother, when we were close, he was trustworthy, and I told him everything, but its all different now, nothing will ever be the same. We walk further into the meadow, we come across the old wooden swing that was still hanging on the huge -now lifeless- tree swinging there in the slight breeze. I walk over to it, wanting to sit and sort out my thoughts, but I slowly begin to see people come out of the shadows, great he brought me to one of his "meetings". "What the hell Richard, I told you I don't want a part of this shit." I exclaim whipping around to face him. He looked like he wanted to punch me, but he kept his cool. "I want you to see the standing point when your at a top of a gang." My brother said with a wide grin. "I already told you I'm not running your stupid gang!" I let out about to walk away, but someone caught me by the hair, "what the fuck!" I exclaim grabbing the roots of my hair, trying to reducing some of the pain. "A lot has happens sense I last saw you, and I won't take anymore of your bullshit attitude." My brother seethed out. What the hell happens to my brother, what happens to that easy going smile, the laugh lines? Why is it now a terrifying glare, stress lines, not one shred of happiness left in my brother. "Yeah, you're right a lot has changed." I say before whipping around and punching him in the gut, knocking his breath out. The second he let a little slack from my hair go, I bolted, I didn't dare look back, even tho I heard the foot steps close behind. I took long strides, as fast as I could, I was just about to be on a real street when I heard the ringing of a blade fly right across my ear, I turned swiftly to see a lean brunette chasing me, she was tall and fierce, but very graceful and confident. I ran faster, but in a zig zagged motion, so she would have a hard time aiming at the back of my head. I ran down the streets, the way I came from, I glanced back in the heat of running to see the girl had put her weapons away, but still was gaining on me, I pushed my legs harder and ran faster, I came to Tanner's street and then a thought hit me, if they new where I was headed too they would kill anyone living there, but where am I suppose to go, it's a dead end, it was to late, I went to the door and banged on it after I jiggled the handle to find it locked. That's when I heard it, the sound of metal hitting wood, I turned around to see the girl had caught up with me, she was even prettier up close, Bright blue eyes, long dark brown hair, perfect cheek bones, and if she wanted to, she could become a model! "Look, the only reason I tracked you all this way is because I was ordered to beat the living shit out of you; looks like Richard has a soft spot for you." The woman sneered with a half smirk. "I don't  want any trouble okay." I say trying to reason with her. "Well I heard that you like to fight, and you weren't to bad, so I just came for a challenge, if I'm being honest." She says taking a step towards me, I got off the stairs, and walked up to her, and said slowly, "if you wanna fight then find someone else, in done playing everyone's games." I say slowly, but that only made her crack a smirk and throw her fist back, I took a side step at last second and threw a punch at her ribs, I barley hit her because how fast she was, we both threw punches back and fourth, each of us barley getting out of the way on time, that is tell someone grabbed me from my waist and threw me into their chest, I whip my head around to see Tanner and my body instantly relaxes, but he wasn't looking at me, she was looking at the girl who was being restrained by John, they held eye contact for almost a minute, no one making a sound, no one moving, no one breathing. John cleared his throat, snapping Tanner and this girl out of there little trance, the first thing anyone said was "Rebeca?" Those were the words that slipped out of Tanners mouth.
