《Me and You: The Beginning》47.

When we arrived home, Alex said that she wanted to take a shower.
"Do you want to be alone?" Gina asked.
"No," she whispered, "Come with me guys." We each stripped down until we were naked. None of us said a word. What was there to say? No one knew how to start a conversation. We stepped into the warm water and I could feel everything being stripped away from me.
We each picked up a sponge. Alex cleaned me, Gina cleaned her and I cleaned Gina. We scrubbing each other's skin in silence, simply enjoying each other's company.
"Guys," Alex whispered, "I don't even know where to start."
"Shit's fucked up," I sighed.
"We have so much to talk about," she looked at the both of us, "There are some important decisions to be made here. We need to be on the same page."
Gina was silent and I knew she was thinking a lot. She definitely had a lot on her plate to think about.
"Gina?" I tried to snap her out of her thoughts.
She looked at me, "Sorry. I was just thinking."
"It's fine," I gave her a small smile," "We'll get through this."
Gianna's POV
I paced back and forth. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stay still. A doctor walked towards me.
"Giovanni is fine," the doctor said.
"Thank you so much," tears of relief streamed down my face.
"He needs to rest," the doctor said, "So you can come back tomorrow. You will be able to see him then." I nodded and told Grayson the good news.
"Alright," he stood up, "Let's go."
We arrived at Aurora's home. I didn't want to be home alone and I figured that Grayson would want to be with her.
"Where will you be staying?" I asked Leonardo.
"He can stay with me," Aurora said, "He doesn't have anything to really go back to."

"I don't want to impose," he said quietly.
"It's fine," Aurora smiled, "We're family." He returned the smile and we all sat down in the living room.
"So," Grayson started, "the big question is who shot Giovanni."
"I have no idea," I clenched my fists, "Was everyone taken out on the the ground floor?"
"Yes," Grayson nodded, "Everyone was accounted for. I didn't see anyone else while maneuvering through the building."
"Maybe someone was in the bathroom?" Leonardo suggested, "These men are usually there 24/7. I'm not usually blindfolded when I'm down there and the guards are there all the time. They shift from time to time to use the bathroom. That's quite about it."
"That is a possibility," Grayson mused.
"What about the girls?" I asked, "They found out about the company. They also found out who killed Jamie's parents. What's going to happen?"
"I don't know," Aurora sighed, "Jamie might feel a lot of resentment towards me as well as Alex. Gina is a bit harder to read."
"Gina has always been an open book to me," I smiled, "I'll talk to her and see what she's thinking. She now has to decide whether she's going to join the company or not."
"What happens if she doesn't?" Leonardo asked.
"I honestly don't know," Grayson replied, "Why do you think that she won't?"
"She's in love with those girls," he said quietly, "If it's a threat to their relationship, she may not do it."
"True," I agreed, "Gina is head over heels for them. Jamie and Alex have a lot of reason to hate the company as well."
"We honestly can't assume," Aurora stated, "These girls are very unpredictable."
Gina's POV
We all sat in the living room waiting for Alex to speak. I knew every topic we were going to discuss, I just didn't know how I felt about anything. I shoved the feelings that I felt somewhere that I can't access, because it was just too overwhelming.

"We'll start with Jamie first," Alex said quietly, "I know my mom hurt your family, as well as Gina's."
"I don't care about my dad honestly," Jamie said, "I don't blame your mom for hurting him. What I don't understand is my mother. Why would your family hurt her?"
Jamie was now looking at me. I didn't have any answers for her.
"I don't know," I looked at my hands.
"Are you saying that your family had an entire company and you knew nothing about it?" Jamie had an accusatory tone to her voice.
"Calm down," Alex said.
"I wasn't supposed to know until I was twenty-one," I said quietly.
"I find that hard to believe Gina," Jamie said. Why was she feeling this way towards me? Did they both think I had something to do with this?
A tear rolled down my cheek, "I didn't know. If I had known, I would have never been involved with the both of you. If I had known any of those things happened or were going to happen, I would have tried to stop them. Why can't you see that?"
I wiped the tear from my cheek and sighed. I hated feeling this way. I felt as though I had no control over my emotions.
"I believe you," Alex said quietly, "but I understand that it's going to take Jamie some time to get there."
"I'm sorry, Jamie," I called out to her, "I really didn't know. My family was away a lot and I never questioned why."
She sighed, "I'm sorry too. I just want someone to be angry at."
"You can be angry at me," I said to her, "but don't push me away. I don't want to lose either of you."
They both gave me a small smile.
"Gina," Alex said, "the next topic is you."
Here it comes.
"What are you going to do now that you know the truth about your family?" Jamie asked.
"I don't know," I answered honestly, "I don't want to kill people, and I dont want to be in charge of others killing people either."
"Then the answer is simple," Jamie said, confused.
"It won't be that simple," Alex said, "If they're assassins - which they are, they may not appreciate Gina choosing another path. They may cause some problems for her."
"I can't support you if you choose to stay with them," Jamie said plainly, "I can't support them after what they've done."
"I understand," I said to her.
"I support you either way," Alex said.
"What?" Jamie looked at her.
"Being kidnapped," Alex started, "wasn't easy Jamie. It was hard on me and I felt so out of control. It was my life, but I felt as though someone else was making decisions for me. I want to feel safe and in control."
"You think an assassination company is going to make you feel like that?" Jamie scoffed.
"Yes," Alex stated.
"Alex," I started, "you should really think this through."
"It doesn't matter," Alex ignored our comments, "If you don't do it, I'm with you. If you do it, I'm still with you. That's all my comment means." I looked at her skeptically. I knew a lot happened to Alex, but I wasn't sure that I wanted to be an assassin, let alone run the company.
"This is fucking bullshit," Jamie looked at her.
"It's my decision," Alex argued.
"It fucking affects all of us Alex!" Jamie yelled and stormed off.
"Where are you going?" I called her.
"To my fucking room," she seethed, "Leave me the fuck alone."
