Chương 13: Chapter 13: He closed his eyes
Leah's POV
It was a long night, I still felt the terrible pain in my cheeks and in my dreams I still had the horrible burning smell of the sacrifice of the Kukux Klan.
The only thing that helped me get some sleep was the fact that Steve was fine and that although my brother is aggressive I was also glad that he was fine. I don't see the reason why George hit me because in the environment we grew up I never saw my father hit my mother or vice versa.
I am also concerned about the disappointment I gave my mother when I came home late.
I tried to forget about all those problems for a while, changed into comfortable clothes, and submerged myself between my sheets. The next day I put on the yellow dress Steve had bought me, got ready and went out to take my little brothers to school with Dana, of course.
I had a long conversation with Dana on the road trying to keep my little brothers from bombarding me with questions.
- "Dana, where were you yesterday?" Said Mary
- "I was walking around the neighborhood, but I will never do it again."
After we arrived, I dropped the kids off at their school and Dana and I went to ours.
- "Dana, yesterday George hit me."
- "I don't know what happens to my brother, he is getting worse and worse and I just fell so that my mother does not continue to suffer for him." I said sobbing.
- "He thinks that I don't know but I have noticed that he has dropped out of school, that is a serious problem, it will harm him for the rest of his life, it is not easy to live in this neighborhood without studying, I say it for my mother and for yours too. "
- "The only thing I can tell you as a friend is not to get into trouble, what you did yesterday was not good, I warned you not to go." Said Dana
- "I know, Forgive me, but I didn't want to lose George or Steve."
Dana humbly nodded.
We got on the bus, the white boys were not there and I am a little happy about that.
When I got to school I talked to Sasha, and other girls.
- "... and what do you girls think?"
- "Michael Lee said yes!" Sasha said.
- "How good Sasha, I'm very happy for you!" I said.
- "He still doesn't take his eyes off you." Sasha said looking at Seth
- "Come on talk to him, you can see in his eyes that he is dying for you!"
- "Listen to me Sasha, I'm not going with any boy who tells me how beautiful you are, I'm not like that, that's not me." I said.
- "Let's go Dana."
-" You are angry? I only say what I see, if something happens don't look for me. "Said Sasha
As I walked with Dana to my classroom, I felt someone standing behind me, caressing my shoulders and feeling a strange chill as I turned around, I saw that it was Seth Rollins and looked at him annoyed.
- "Didn't they teach you to respect women?"
- "Don't you have dignity?"
- "Dignity? ... No, I don't have, I lost my dignity when I saw you." Said Seth
- "Dana ... I like you and I thought that if you would give me the opportunity to be part of your life." Said Seth approaching me and speaking into my ear.
Suddenly the bell rings, Seth was still at the classroom door, Dana had come in and I was still outside the classroom as well.
- "... Permission, what? I have not understood what you are saying, I seem to have heard something else" I said.
- "I like you, my love" said Seth
- "Seth, get it, you and I would never be together, I don't even imagine it." I said.
- "Okay ... but if you don't understand, I'll tell everyone at school that you're with a white man." Said Seth
- "So ... you better behave very well with me ..." he said caressing my neck.
- "I'm not afraid of you, Seth, with George that's enough, besides I know what the reason is why you go to school being in the gang." I said removing his hands from my face.
- "... You sell drugs." I told him, I left him with his word on his mouth and entered the classroom.
As I left the classroom, he followed me.
- "Leah! Forgive me, I didn't mean to hurt you. " said Seth running towards me
- " Me neither" I said avoiding his gaze and raising my chin in a safe way.
- "Leah!" Said Seth running towards me
- "Do you know the perception that whites have of us?"
- "They believe that we are animals, that we do not have a soul, I assure you that is what that target believes in you, he is using you and you do not realize." he whispered in my ear and left
As I left school I remembered that Steve told me before taking me home to meet in a specific hidden place and walk there, I decided to get home earlier.
- "Hello" I said to Steve.
- "Hello my love, how was school."
-" Fine I guess"
-" Why do you say that."
- "... Well, since I'm your girlfriend ..."
- "I like how it sounds ... repeat the phrase." He says approaching me, looks me in the eyes and then looks at my lips.
- "I think ... This will bother you a bit ... Seth won't stop harassing me."
Then he walks away from me a little.
- "I don't understand, what's wrong?"
- "He already knows that you and I are together, well, after the first fight you had with George. I said nervously biting my lower lip.
- "I'm scared Steve, I think we should stop meeting."
- "For your sake and for mine too."
- "No, Leah, please don't do this to me, I can't live without you!"
- "I'm sorry Steve, I love you too, but look at you and look at me, I'm black and your white ... We can't be together."
-" Are you serious?"
- "Can you imagine the scandal, George Williams' daughter is dating a white man!"
- "I don't care what people say, the only thing that matters to me in this world is you!" Said Steve
- "Prove it!"
- "I've done it several times, I saved your life, don't you remember?"
- "... Apparently for you I am an animal." I said
- "What are you talking about, I don't understand you?" Said Steve
- "Leah, don't go!" Steve said with his wet eyes, I also cried desperately and went home.

George's POV
It was 7 at night and we all met in that abandoned place.
Zack told me about an ideal place to sell and I was interested.
Suddenly Seth appears with a lot of money he had gotten at school.
- "Here is what I owed you, Lord"
he said to black beard and gave him the money.
Suddenly a sound is heard from outside.
-" What is that!" I said
We all took our weapons out of our pockets and a group of nightknives appeared all ready to fight.
The atmosphere changed, to an atmosphere of action we all fired and some dodged the bullets.
Next to me were Seth and Zack. In the distance I could hear Damien's voice, the black-haired nightknive that had hit me before I was part of the gang.
We were all hiding behind bliches ready to fire at the right time until suddenly Seth fell to the ground.
- "Aaaaah!"
- "Seth!"
- "He shot me in the stomach." Seth said with difficulty.
- "Forgive me friend, I did not achieve what you wanted."
- "Your sister is very in love with him."
- "That doesn't matter now, Thank you"
-" Why?"
- "You have been a great friend"
- "... No George, you know I have not been a good person ... Tell my family to forgive me, I have been the worst grandson my grandmother has ever had ... don't forget to tell Leah to tell me excuse me ... I bothered you a lot and harassed you too. "
Seth Rollins smiled at me and left this land.
- "Seth, don't leave me brother!"
I raised my head and saw that Zack was still shooting, then the nightknives left, we all knew they would return.
When the whites left Zack hugged me.
- "Easy, brother." He told me
- "Everything will be fine" he said patting me on the back.
The day of the funeral arrived, we were Leah, Dana and many people from the neighborhood, because he was well known, it was my mother, his grandmother, and his brother, because Seth had no parents, they had abandoned him when he was a child. His parents were not even assigned to come to their son's funeral.
We all cried inconsolably, her grandmother had a panic attack, but she was fine.
