What Happens in the Dark

Chapter 52

"Briana?" I said feeling tears as they started to form. My aunt was standing their grinning like she just won the lottery. Briana's long platinum hair fell to her side, she is wearing her usual leggings, flip flops, and a zip up jacket.

"Sev!" She smiled. The tears started to fall as I ran and hugged her as tightly as I possibly could. She stumbled back causing us to both fall on the ground, but I refused to let her go.

"How the fuck are you here?" I cried smiling.

"Your aunt wanted to surprise you." She laughed.

I looked up to aunt Dana who was still grinning. Monroe and Raymond walked in and laughed seeing us on the floor.

"Oh Aunt Dana." I am so happy, she knew exactly what I needed even though we weren't as close as some. I got up and wrapped my arms around her, realizing how much I did miss her.

"I know things have been hard with your dad passing, so I wanted Briana here for you, before the funeral." Aunt Dana said.

My smile slightly fell forgetting I'd have to see my father again, but this time he wouldn't be alive. My gut started to turn, but it still didn't take away that happiness I felt seeing Briana again.

"Bitch don't cry." Briana said before looking back at my aunt, "Oops, sorry Dana, I forgot."

Monroe laughed and her attention shifted towards him, "Is this?" She asked looking back at me. I smiled and nodded my head. Monroe furrowed his eyebrows before smiling again.

"Damn, you got a brother?" She asked making everyone laugh. That's what I loved about Briana, she lit up any room she entered and was comfortable with everyone.

"Two." He responded smirking.

"Hell yeah." She yelled.

"I would not take you as the type to hang with Seven." Monroe laughed.

"I second that." Raymond added making me smile.

"She balances me out, I'm a little bit on the crazy side, Seven is just crazy when she gets mad, ask her about all the times I've had to order her food for her because she doesn't like talking to people she doesn't know." She sighed rolling her eyes at me.

"I have anxiety you bitch." I laughed. Aunt Dana looked startled, I kept forgetting she was here.

"Thank you Aunt Dana, this means so much to me." I smiled.

"Of course hunny. I love seeing you happy. Now with that being said, unfortunately I have to go show a house. Please forgive me Briana, I'll get Raymond to make us a feast when I get back." She winked grabbing her purse.

Monroe, Raymond, Me, and Bri went into the living room to catch up.

"So, Y'all are like, official?" She asked hesitantly pointing at me and Monroe. Monroe smirked. "Because the last thing I heard was y'all were just English partners, oh and that Seven is the school's whore."

I laughed slapping her arm, "Let's not blast our private conversations." There was so much Briana didn't know and that she couldn't know, which was so hard because she is someone I tell everything to.

"No please go on." Monroe smiled.

"Yes this is amusing." Raymond laughed.

"Hmm." Briana trailed off.

"Yes, we're official, and yes I'm still the school whore, probably worse now since Monroe and I haven't been going to school since dad died." I sighed.

"Wait. You haven't been going to school either?" She asked Monroe who shook his head in response.

"Awe!" She cooed. I rolled my eyes.

"Have y'all just been fucking?" She asked bluntly.

"Okay," I placed my hand over her mouth as she burst out with laughter. Monroe and Raymond did too. "She's a bit much." I sighed, but I have to admit I've missed it. She smelled like cigarettes and vanilla body spray, as weird of a combination that is, I missed it.

"Well damn." Briana sighed, "I need an English partner."

"Yes you do, maybe then you'll be able to blast your own business." I smirked.

"-But I want my English partner to be pretty, I need a Cittadino brother." She added.

Monroe smirked, "I can arrange that."

"Y'all will meet." I teased. I forgot tomorrow is Monroe's birthday. I need to invite Lacey over, so we can plan this surprise party, but not until Monroe leaves, I don't want him to become suspicious.

"Which brother though?" She laughed.

"Eli." Monroe and I said in unison. Their personalities are so similar it's insane.

"His name sounds pretty, I'm ready, Y'all better warn me before I meet him so I can find a dress that makes my ass pop."

"Okay." I sighed putting my hand back over her mouth, "I need to buy you a muzzle."

Monroe and Raymond laughed.

"Thank y'all for surprising me, this is the best." I smiled walking over to Monroe and Raymond, hugging both of them. I then sat on Monroe's lap and wrapped my arms around him.

"Y'all are going to make some pretty babies," Briana smiled making a picture gesture with her hands, "I can see them now, my little nieces and nephews."

"BRIANA." I yelled begging her to shut up. Monroe laughed putting his hand on my thighs.

"You don't wanna talk about our babies?" Monroe sarcastically pouted making my cheeks heat up.

"Awe I like him." Briana smirked.

Monroe kissed the my forehead before standing up. "I'm going to let you two catch up, I have to go out of town." He winked. I knew exactly where he was going, hunting.

"Okay." I smiled. He looked back at me before slowly letting go of my hand and walking out of the garage.

I looked back at Raymond. "I have to go shop for dinner tonight, so I'll see you later."

Briana and I were sitting on the couch catching up, I wanted to tell her so badly about all of the chaos I've been dealing with, but I could never put her in danger. She was already in danger just being around me.
