Chapter eight

Short chapter

She couldn't stop replaying it in her mind, the way he had completely transformed his behaviour. It was like he had done a complete 180.
He had escorted her back to her cell, his silence and forcefulness pushing her inside. There was no trace of emotion on his face.

She felt crushed, wondering if he regretted their encounter so much that he would treat her this way. Had she done something wrong? This wasn't how it was supposed to go, not in any way.

"Someone really pissed off the wrong guard," Raquelle chimes in, interrupting her thoughts. The last thing she needed was Raquelle meddling in her business.

"Yeah..." she muttered, not wanting to delve into details.

Leon tried to compose himself, regretting his actions. He shouldn't have given in like that. It felt like a betrayal to his brother, yet at the same time, it felt worth it. What was he thinking?

She had stirred up a whirlwind of emotions within him, overwhelming him. Perhaps he was feeling lonely too. He had requested to leave work early, which was granted. As he drove home, his hands gripping the steering wheel, he berated himself.

"You're so fucking stupid," he muttered under his breath. If only he had some self-control left, none of this would've happened.

Making a right turn towards his house, he noticed a woman with raven-black hair standing in his driveway. She wore a red sweater and a black skirt, knee-high boots completing her ensemble. "Ada,"

He parked the car and stepped out, "what do you want?" He asked, his tone guarded. Ada turned to face him, she looked like a mess.
"Leon, it's Luis..." she began.

Leon rushed into the hospital, his heart pounding in his chest. The familiar surroundings brought back memories of the day his brother was stabbed, and he could help but feel a sense of deja vu.

Luis had been shot during a fight that had broken out during his case, and Leon couldn't help but feel a twinge of resentment towards him. But despite their complicated relationship, he was still worried about him. He'd never admit it to Luis.

Ada allowed Leon to see him alone, hoping they'd be able to resolve a few things before she decided to talk. As he sat down in one of the chairs next to Luis's hospital bed, he couldn't help but tease him.

"How does your loser ass manage to get shot like this?" He snickered, trying to lighten the mood.

Luis chuckled, wincing in pain. "I was a hero, what are you talking about?" he replied, trying to act cool.
"I'm glad you're still... I don't know, breathing," Leon said, looking away. He didn't wanna make eye contact with Luis, but for a few minutes, he forgot all about their complicated relationship and enjoyed the conversation.

As he left the room, he sat down next to Ada in the waiting room. "He's alright," he reassured her, she put her hand on his.
"Thank you," she said, squeezing his hand. "I'm really sorry, Leon."

Leon knew she was, but how could a sorry fix everything?

"I'll always love you, but you know that.." he said, looking at her.

Ada looked back at him, nodding. She leaned in and kissed his temple, hoping to offer some comfort. They sat in silence, enjoying each other's company, before Leon decided to check on his brother while he was still there.

As he got closer to Robin's room, he saw nurses running in and out in a hurry. His anxiety spiked, and he stopped one of the nurses.

"What's happening to my brother?" He asked, his voice shaking.

"we're losing him!" another nurse had yelled, making her push Leon's hand away and run back to the room.

Leon's heart sank as he realised the gravity of the situation.

He tried rushing into the room, hoping that he wasn't too late.
