Rebecca’s POV

I have changed my clothes three times already.

The first one felt to formal, the second felt too casual, and the third. Well now I am staring at the mirror. Wondering if this gives a You are highly welcome and make yourself at home kind of feeling.

I smooth the fabric and drag it down. It’s just dinner. It’s just my boyfriend, kind of meeting my mother.

“Rebecca!” Mum calls from the downstairs. “Can you check the oven? I think the chicken might be burning”

I rush out of the room reserved for me, and head to the kitchen. I yank the oven door open. A wave of heat hits me. It isn’t burning but it is turning brown faster than it should.

The kitchen smells like rosemary and garlic. She has gone and outdid her self again. Baked potatoes, that cheesy spinach thing that she makes in special occasions and a bottle of fine wine is placed on the counter.

For a woman who has moved on she sure knows how to cook for a gathering.

    Rebecca’s pov. I did not tell anyone I was coming to meet father. And now that I am standing at the door before I push the door open, I am second guessing my decision. He’s voice over the phone shook me in ways I can’t explain. I could barely sleep at night. when I finally drift off to sleep, I wake up before my alarm goes off. I push the door open. It creaks lightly. I don’t bother checking the living room, I just walk straight up the stairs. Dread creeping under my skin. When I push the study door open, he isn’t there. The house is so quiet that even my footsteps seem to echoe into the hallway. I am scared to make a noise. I pass my old room. The door is wide open. It’s clean. I walk in and walk to the dresser. The room is empty apart from the furniture. I look into the mirror. I used to stand here every morning. Wondering when my bum would grow out and get Lincoln. My high school crush to notice me.I smile at the memory. But now that’s all it is, memories. I walk out.

    Mikes POV The ware house, smells like rusted metal, the place is cold even though it’s summer. I walk in first and feel the tension before I even open my mouth. Half the crew is already here Aaron, Luca, Rafi, and Bones leaning against the wall like he’s still pissed I disappeared for two weeks without a word. Bianca trails behind me. Calm on the outside but I know her. No badge in site. Then they see her. “What the hell is this?” Rafi is the first to speak. “You brought a fed into our space?” “She’s on our side,” I say. Calmly. “She’s not here to take anyone in.” Our side?” Rafi repeats, flexing his muscles. “The fuck does that even mean?” “It means we don’t die in prison,” I say. “It means we finally stop living like hunted dogs.” Luca snorts. “So now you’re trusting the feds?” “I trust her,” I say, without hesitation. “And you should too. She’s the reason we’re not already in a cell.” “You gone soft, Miguel?” Bones asks, narrowing his eyes. “That what th

    Olivia’s pov. When I walk in to Rebecca’s living room, the house is quiet, I am a bit tensed because over the phone she sounded like someone who had been crying her eyes out. “Rebecccaaa” I call out. Dumping the groceries she had asked me to buy on my way here. “mummm” she calls out “I am upstairs” her voice sounds hushed. Like she’s talking against a pillow or something. “You okay baby?” I ask as I make my way up the stairs. When I reach the top, the door is slightly ajar and there are pieces of tissue paper everywhere. The smell of lavender is thick, her comfort candle burning slowly on the night stand. Rebecca is red faced. Her eyes are swollen, nose blotchy, her cheeks wet and raw in places where she’s clearly rubbed too hard. She’s curled on the bed, knees to her chest, a pillow clutched in her arms like it’s the only thing keeping her whole. “Sweetheart,” I whisper, stepping in slowly. She doesn’t look at me, just stares at the foot of the bed. “He lied to me, Mum.”I s

    Donald’s POVWhen I walked out of that pack, I wanted to turn around and tell Rebecca I was sorry, I wanted to tell her everything, I didn’t want to walk away, but I found myself doing the opposite of what my body was begging me to do. It’s all for the best, I started without her and I would end it without her. But now I am sitting in my car, parked near some abandoned lot, a few blocks from the pack trying to cub the pain in my chest, my beating heart and the deep doubt within me, was that the right decision? I lean against the head rest, close my eyes for a few minutes “I am sorry Rebecca”. I whisper into the empty car. I straighten almost immediately, turn on the ignition and drive out, it’s time to stop playing around, and I am done being nice.I can’t meet up with Delmont, i will pee in my pants after what just happened. I have a feeling he knows everything, but I have sent him a copy of the clause transferring everything to me. That was the final card I had, and I played i

    Rebecca’s POV It’s tommorow already, I am so tensed I leave the house before six. I am putting on a hoody sweater and joggers, the hood over my head. The sky is a bright red, and outside is a bit chilly. Thankful for what I had on, but it doesn’t shield me from the tightness in my chest. The walk to the park feels longer than it normally is. I pass a young girl who waves at me beaming with smiles. A man walking a dog with a tired kind of movement, all the while trying to steady my mind, a million thoughts racing through. When I walk through the little gates of the park it doesn’t take long before I spot him, sittting on the bench like we agreed on, but he doesn’t see me. My stomach does a little flip. And my heart rate increases. Tousled hair, he looks like he hasn’t shaved in days, he’s scanning he’s surroundings, like he’s expecting to see someone, behind the bushes. I hate that even now, part of me wants him to smile. To make this feel normal. To make me feel wanted again. Tha

    Delmont laughs so hard the glass in his hand shakes, spilling over little droplets of water on his desk. A deep guttural kind of laugh, ugly and heavy as it echoes through the private room. His shoulders are trembling because of the force or it, a long one. When it finally stops, A long sigh drags out of his chest like smoke. His lawyer is seated across from him, in a plaited steel grey suit, laughing too. Not as loud as him. Laying his fingers heavily on the folder on the desk containing something dangerous. He wipes the corner of his eye with a hand “those bastards” he laughs again. Almost choking “they really thought I would show up, they…” He is finding it difficult to control the chuckles “they set everything up carefully, a month of panning, I could have watched all year long” he says. He leans back on his chair, raising the amber colour glass to his lips. “They are broken, and all I had to do was not show” “Did they wait long?” The lawyer ask. “I don’t k
