"Things are going to change and you need to be ready for it." Jay skimmed his eyes across the gang that was sat before him however, they stopped and focused on Matt.
Jay knew mostly everyone was in agreement of what was going to go down but Matt. He knew that the only thing that would get in his way of doing this would be his bestfriend.
"I'm not going to be ready for something so fucking stupid, Jay." Matt bit back, not losing the glaring eye contact he had aimed his way.
He didn't agree with Jay's way of going about things, he didn't see how it was necessary. He would stand there and claim that it was for the benefit of the gang, that it would make things better in the long run but Matt didn't see it.
He knew it was just an act of selfishness, it was just him wanting more power just like Buddy had done.
Jay had a heart somewhere on the inside but it was so difficult to find. He make acts of kindness every now and then when he felt like it but they were always rare, making it impossible to find what made him human.
"Your brother doesn't plan on stopping and I'm not letting him think we're scared of him."
"My brother knows you're not scared of him Jay, this has nothing to do with him."
Matt was adamant on fighting back and trying to talk him out of his decisions. This gang had been through so much in their life that he felt as though now was the time for them to take a breather.
This gang had been their life from childhood yet they were grown up now, it was time to start taking control of how things were and not following in the footsteps of their parents.
"We're not teenagers anymore... we're grown men with people to care about. I can't let my girlfriend suffer due to my own selfishness."
"Abbie will be fine... she has been up until now, that's not going to change." Jay tried to reassure but Matt was having none of it.
"No, don't try and feed me bullshit Jay. We're putting the people we care about in danger by doing this... we're taking it to the point where we won't even be able to save ourselves, little lone those around us too."
"So what... this is you finally making a choice? If put to it, you'd choose your girlfriend over this gang?"
