THE NERD IS A GANGLEADER

CHAPTER 26

Scarlett P.O.V.

A week passed which was full of events leading up to Ethan's funeral which is today. As a gang leader, the death of a fellow member is expected but not when you caused that death. For the whole of last night, I couldn't sleep because all I could think about was Ethan. I didn't cry but I couldn't help but think about him.

After I met Adrian seven years ago, I met Ethan. I admired his silence and the way he just sat an observed. When it was time to choose members for my gang, I definitely wanted him to be a part of it. I got out of bed and went straight for the shower. I stood in there for almost half an hour until the warm water just made me numb. I finally came out and saw Aiden sitting up in the bed staring into nothingness.

We made eye contact and he just gave me a sad smile. I gave him back one and went into my closet to get ready. I wore a navy blue dress that had a high slit and silver diamonds going around the waist with silver stilettos. I did my hair in soft curls and diamond accessories. I came out and saw Aiden wearing his Armani tux and Gucci shoes. His hair was combed back out of his face and he had in huge diamonds in his ears. He wore shades to match the mood. He turned to me and I could feel him and me up and down.

"You look amazing." He said wrapping his arms around my waist.

"And you look delicious." I said winking at him. He smirked at me before leaning down to meet my lips.
He pulled away and kissed my forhead.

"Today is the day." He said and I could hear the distress in his voice.

"It is, it really is." I responded not pulling away. I heard him sigh and I pressed a kiss to the centre of his chest.

"Thank you." He said and I smiled at him. We heard a car drive in so we went downstairs to see Emma and Tyler walk in through the front door. Tyler was wearing a suit, same as Aiden and his Rolex I gave him for his birthday.

That day was a great day. Emma and I woke up before him and made him a huge breakfast. We finished everything up just in time because as we finished, Aiden and Tyler descended the stairs together. When they came to the dining room, we jumped and yelled a happy birthday startling them both. We hugged him and told him happy birthday. We ate breakfast and when we were done, it was gift-giving time.

I went upstairs and got the gifts. Emma's gifts where open first and he went ballistic. It was time for my gift, see what I did there? Time, and the gift is a watch? No, okay then. He unwrapped the box and froze when he saw the famous crown logo on the green box.

"Scarlett, no." He said slowly turning to me.

"Open it!" Emma yelled in anticipation. He opened the box and his mouth fell open. Let's just say he was Iced Out. He looked at me then back at the watch. He looked over at me again, tears welled in his eyes.

"Aw Ty, don't cry." I said walking over to him. I opened my arms and he jumped into them, alomst knocking us over. After a while, he pulled away and told me thank you for the 50th time. When I thought we were through, Aiden went upstairs and came back downstairs with a Cartier box.

"Aw man, you didn't have to." Tyler said.

"But I did so here, Happy Birthday man." Aiden said handing Tyler the box. He slowly opened it and his mouth fell open when he saw what was inside.

"Yo, I'm iced the fuck out!" He shouted and we laughed.

He got up and bro hugged Aiden.

"Thanks bro, I appreciate it" Tyler said.

"It's all good man, glad you like it." Aiden responded. We went to a club later on and he dressed in everything he got.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

We drove to the gang house and everybody was ready in their tuxedos. You could feel how gloomy the house was. The guys were sitting in the main living room without saying a word to each other. This is one of the reasons I love my members. They show emotions, they don't always act all tough and closed off. They allow themselves to feel.

"Hey guys, you ok?" I asked and they all nodded. We took the Hummers and drove to the church. Cars were parked outside when we arrived. We entered the church and people we're seated, talking among themselves. We reach the front of the church, where the coffin was. He looks totally different, as much people do when they die.

He was dressed in a crisp gray Armani suit. His forehead was tied with a handkerchief because of the bullet hole in it. He looked so peaceful. A smile made its way on my face but then I remembered that if only he remained loyal, he would still be here. I left the coffin and I went to sit at the front, where his father and younger brother was. He greeted me and I sat next to him.

"I thought I taught him better than this, I guess not." He said and I turned to him.

"Sir that was all his doing. I'm sure you did teach him well but he strayed away from his teachings, thinking he would get something better but look where he ended up. He made this choice David, now he suffers the consequences." I said and he just looked at me.

"You truly are a good gang leader Scarlett." He said and I sent him a small smile. The ceremony started after everybody arrived. When it ended, Aiden, Adrian, Max, Jason, Erick and Mason carried the coffin to the hearse and headed to the gang's burial ground.

This Gang has been running for over 40 years so the burial ground was huge. Less than a quarter of the burial ground is occupied and there are over two thousand tomb stones here. We finally reached the spot where Ethan's coffin will go.

The Pastor said his words and now it was the gang's time to put stuff in his casket. There was too many of us, so they said that I should be the one to put something in there. I have a gun that Ethan adored. It was a gold with diamonds around it. I lifted his cold hands and placed it there.

The coffin was closed and it began to be lowered into the ground. All of the gang members raised our guns and started firing as the casket was lowered. It's our tradition at funerals.

We headed back to the Hummers and drove back to the gang house. We all ate dinner and just had a little funeral party for E. I went into the center of the yard and raised my gun in the air once more. I fired three shots in the air and lowered my gun.
