?Jonas POV?

“Ohh..look who we’ve got here!” Gavin exclaimed, inching me forward and giving me a tight hug. “Thought it was some sort of prank when you said you were coming but you’re here. Thought you forgot your little old guy!” He released me from the hug, opening the door wider.. from my spot I could view the large living room and the sight of girls almost unclad, arranging drugs into different briefcase with some holding lit up tobacco’s.
“Come-on in!” Gavin invited and I dart my gaze away fr the ladies.
“Actually, I’d prefer we talk out here. I won’t be staying for long, anyways” I said.
“Oh, you sure will. it feels like years since I saw you last, you won’t leave In a hurry,” he said, giving my shoulder a light squeeze. “Tasha, get us some strong refreshments” he said to one of the ladies before closing the door. He tied his robe and we walked to the outside shade, sitting under the shady umbrella.
“So, what’s been going on with you?” He asked.
“Nothing really much-
“You know, I’d love to visit you sometime. It’s about time you give me an invite” he said.
“We’d see about that but that’s not why I’m here, I have something to ask you,” I said. “And I need you to answer honestly, no lies at all” I said and his brows narrowed.
A lady walked to us with a tray, clad in a pair of underwear. She left the tray and left. Gavin dart his gaze to the table and opened the bottle of tequila, pouring some quantity of it into the small glasses, he handed me a glass and I took it; taking a very light sip before dropping the glass.
“Okay, ask whatever you wanna” he said, giving me a curious look.
“That night when my parents died, the night you found me first. What actually happened?” I asked.
“How do you mean? You killed your Dad and I saved you. That’s what happened. Did you suddenly have a partial amnesia or what?” He teased.
“I didn’t pull the trigger on my father, Gavin. I doubt that the gun was even loaded cos even if it was and I fired, how come there was no shot sound?” I asked.
“Oh really?” Gavin scrunched his nose at me, taking another drink from his glass. “And what suddenly made you think back on what happened years ago? Sympathy or guilt?”
“I believe someone else pulled the trigger on my dad and used a silencer when doing it and it’s definitely someone that was around while I held that gun” I said, not shaking my gaze off him.
“So? What are you insinuating? That I killed your dad?”
“Did you?” I asked “you were the only one with me that night, you suddenly appeared after I my dad died” I said.
“Well..what is it to you, right now?”
“Just answer me, Gavin? It was you, wasn’t it? You killed my dad, made it look like I did and lied and then picked me up from that orphanage, like my savior?”
“I am your savior, Jonas. You think anyone would’ve believed you if you had mentioned my name?” He asked, scoffing. “You should be grateful to me up till this time and even in your death. You would’ve been gone if I had left you”
“I’m not concerned about my dad’s death but if you hadn’t killed him then he’d be suffering for what he did to my mom right now. It would’ve been a forever terr©r-
“Which he’s facing already, Jonas. He’s suffering all he should in h’ll” Gavin said.
“You should’ve told me it was you, anyways. Why hide it?”
“Nothing, Okay?”
“All this while I’ve always lived in the dark thinking I ended my family-
“You did, Jonas. Don’t ever doubt that. If you had been a stupid kid like your dad wanted, then maybe you’d still be with your family, living the most miserable life ever. But you became wise at a young age and was ready to choose your own life, that was the best decision anyone could ever make and that dark side of you, you should never let it go. It’s what tells you who you are and what you are; it completes you and it’s the real you” he said.
“The real me?” I repeated with a scoff. “You gave me a gun”
“And you took it cos you needed it. You were this kind of person right from the scratch, it has always been in you. You just something to bring it out more, something to complete you” he said. “Jonas look, your dad is suffering just enough punishment as he deserves-
“He isn’t! He killed my mother, I wanted something everlasting. I wanted to see him suffer to the core and painfully die slowly. Everything I am, today is because of him. He pushed me! I would’ve been just fine without him!” I finally let it out, my palm curling to tight fist as I gave the table a punch that almost crashed it.
“Jonas, calm down. Trust me, your dad is suffering. You should stop thinking about this, it’s eating you up”
“She was pregnant, we would’ve been two happy fatherless children but he didn’t make that happen. He-
I shut the rest of my words, taking in a rough breath.
“Here,” Gavin gave me my glass and absently, I took in the entire content.. Enduring the itch, I stood up.
“It’s best that I go now” I said.
Gavin nodded. “Okay, try to get in touch and you’re always welcome to return anytime you want, you know that right?” He asked and I nodded gruffly and walked out to my car. Getting In, I hung at the drivers and for the first time in a very long time; cried.

I started the journey home after staying on that spot for as long as I can remember, it was a long ride and I was still faraway when my phone rang, I took it up and saw Zoe was the caller. I connected it to my airpod and answered.
“Hey baby, where are you?” She asked.
“I’m driving, why?”
“I know but where exactly are you?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
“Because I’m coming over to your house and before you ask or get all no- no about telling me where it is, I know where it is” she said, giggling lightly.
“What’re you talking about?” I asked.
“Ohh.. remember that night we went clubbing to celebrate boss for winning that CEO election? Well, you got drunk so I tracked your phone. I just had to go through where you’re most frequent at and boom! I found your place. It’s quite disappointing for your kind though considering how rich you are” she added. “So you see, all those boasts and talks wasn’t for nothing cos I’m driving to your place right now” she said.
“W-what.. Zoe, you can’t come over!” I said.
“Yeah, I expected you to say that but I’m not only coming over, I’m spending a long time at your place-
“Zoe, listen to me, I have-
“I’ll be there in about a minute or two. You might want to get the bed ready and an extra sheet” she said, giggling again.
“Ok..ay. but how about we just meet somewhere first and talk-
*Click* she disconnected the call.
“Dang it!” I cussed, threw the airpod off and sped up.
I’m still hours away, how do I catch up with her? I tried her line again but she didn’t pick, I threw the phone to the passenger side in anger.
I quickly picked up my phone and called Allison, trying to focus on the road at the same time.
It rang and ended without an answer, I repeated it but got the same response.
“Sht!” I gritted my teeth disappointedly, dropped the phone and swerved sharply past an oncoming vehicle.
