Tiffany's P.O.V
I guess Ryder isn't so bad after all, I thought to myself.
He's actually a really nice guy if you get to know him.
"Ry why do they want you to kill Mr.Biggs?" I asked.
He pulled over the car.
"To be honest I really don't know Tiff," He said frustrated.
"How did you even end up being a part of that gang?" I asked amusingly.
"I did not choose to be a part of the gang love, my dad made me become a part of the gang," He said sounding slightly broken.
"How?" I asked. "It's okay if you're not comfortable talking about."
"No it's okay," He said. "Sometimes you need to let these stuff out Tiff. You see my dad and Sylvester were partners in crimes back in the days until my dad stole money from him and went away and left his family. I was only 12 years old at that time. My mom was very devastated when he left us without any goodbye. She cried days and nights because of that. My sis and I tried to console her but it wasn't enough. I had to become the man of the house and look after my mom and sis. That s**t wasn't easy but I still did it at an early age. Until one day Sylvester came by our house and told us what my dad did and said that I needed to work for him to pay back my father's debt and if I refused he would have killed my family and me."
He began to cry.
"You don't how hard this s**t is Tiff. My family means the world to me and I won't let anything happen to them. If anything happens to them I don't know what I would do. They're the only thing I have in this world. That's why there's so much anger within me. I will never forgive my father for what he did to us," He said wiping his tears.
I had no idea what to do. I'm not good at consoling persons especially Ryder since this is the first time I'm seeing him like this.
"Heyyyy Ry," I said holding his face and wiping his tears away, "You're even stronger than I thought love f**k you're officially one of the strongest people I know now. I know these s**t ain't easy but I'm 100% sure you'll get through them because I will be here for you backing you every step of the way."
"Thank you so much, Tiff. I don't know what I'll do without you. I just feel like a heavy load has been lifted off my chest. Can you please do me a huge favor?" He said sniffling.
"Anything for you," I said holding his hand to comfort him.
"Can my family and I stay by you till I sort out this problem. I know Sylvester will try to harm us but if we stay by you he won't try anything smart?" He asked pleading.
"Of course! I will talk to my dad about it right away." I said sounding extremely excited. "I'm happy to help you with anything."
"Friends?" He asked smiling.
"Friends," I said grinning.
"I'll be right back," I said stepping out of the car. "I'm going to make a call to my dad to tell him about you guys moving in."
"Okay," he said.
Dials her father's number on her phone and rings him.
"Sweetie is that you?" My dad asked sounding worried.
"Yes it's me, Dad," I said slightly broken.
"How are you? Where are you? Are you okay?" He asked all at once.
"I'm okay dad all thanks to Ryder," I said slightly smiling.
"What happened, sweetie?" He asked once again.
"I'll explain everything to you once I get home but for now Ryder and his family are in danger and they need our help dad," I said.
"How can we help them?" He asked.
"Can they stay by us till they get over the danger?" I asked hopefully.
"Of course sweetie but I need to know everything when you get home okay," He said relieved.
"Okay dad, I will see you when I get home. Love you," and with that, I end the call.
I entered the car back with a frown on my face so I could trick Ryder.
"What happened?" He asked worriedly.
"You guys can stay by us," I said excitedly.
"Woah for a second there I thought there was a problem," He said pretending hurt.
"I know," I said laughing
"Let's go before Sylvester reaches there before us," He said starting the car.
"Strap up yourself Tiff, it's going to be a fun ride," He said winking.
And with that, we headed down the road to Ryder's home.
