try to knock down my walls

chapter 47

Lisa pov

It's Sunday and the rain has stopped, Lara called me early in the morning and now I am at the place where all the bricks go to. I sat on a chair and just listened to some music while waiting for the other truck or car to come by.                   

I looked at the container with bricks and the walls of the apartment in, I looked at the black, burned dots on some of the walls, trying to remember it. 

A honk got me out of my thoughts. I stood up and saw three vans. Max got out of one and opened the trunk and the side doors. Rina came out of the other one.

" Who is in the last van?" I asked them.

" Alex," Max said lifting a piece of the wall. 

I helped them until all three vans are empty. They closed the door and I sat back on my seat.

" This is definitely gonna take a while!" Max said sighing.

" Are Chris and Ian making the roof?" I asked him.

" Yes, they are, in the meantime, the other girls are cleaning the rooms, we are still deciding what we are gonna do with it," Alex said driving towards me with his van.

" Okay then, bye," I said making myself comfortable. 

" Kid get in, the car it's a stupid reason you have to stay here," Rina said. I got in and we drove back.

" Does Lara know about this?" Rina asked me. 

" No she doesn't but she will see," I said.

" heard you got her upset?" She asked me driving the familiar streets.

" I did and she herself also was sad," I said sighing at that moment.

" How long do you think she will stay with you?" She asked me.

" I don't know, it's not good to talk about that," I said, finding it weird that she is asking me these questions  

" Nice of Jim to help us isn't it?" I said annoying her with questions. She laughed hard again.

" Okay I am sorry for asking that question," She said still laughing a little.

" But it's nice of him that he is helping us," She said parking the car.

" Some people aren't meant to be," She said turning the car off.

" Jim and I weren't meant to be but Rax made us happy with each other, but Rax got older, and we drifted off," She said.

" But it's nothing new, I am happy with where I am now!" She said stepping out of the car.

I don't know if you should be happy being a stripper

I also got out of the car and the guys started loading it with bricks and pieces of the wall. We got inside and saw Julian making the stairs with Gabriel. Julian told us that we can go up and we got up seeing the other girls there.

" at least cleaning got done fast," I said walking in.

" that's what you got girls for," Lia said looking outside.

" we need bigger machines and four other trucks," Alex said walking in

" How do you want to fix that?" Chloe asked him.

"....." Alex got silent.

" My mind is empty," He said sitting down. When Alex thinks too much he suddenly like shutts off, and doesn't think about anything.

" (Sigh) I will make something for you," Rita said, walking out of the room.

" Alex lets stick to the plan for now," Rina said. 

" Plans do change!" Alex said getting mad. I looked at Clair and she just shrugged her shoulders.

" yeah and your not the boss here, so if you don-" 

" It's my plan in the first place!" He said cutting Rina off.

" What's wrong with the both of you!!" Lia said with a warning. they both got silent and looked at each other glaring.

" You two weren't like this before!" She said looking at the two of them.

" People change," Alex said sitting back down.

" Just help Chris and Ian with the roof, so you can also work your muscles instead of your brian," Chloe said. Ian got down and said to Alex whet he had to do.

" Let's just stick to the plan, before you know it only the big pieces are left," Rina said walking out.

That was our plan... Well Alex plan, first the little pieces with the machines and after that the big pieces. I looked around and saw everyone doing their own little thing. I got out and walked back downstairs. I walked out and Jim coming back with Rax, I walked behind the building to all the mess, and found Max sitting on one of the machines digging the little pieces and putting it in a box. Julian, was lifting the boxes putting it in the van and car, the trucks are away now.

I got in one of the machines and also decided to work hard.  I filled 10 boxes and then lifted them with a lot of trouble to an empty van. when I was done putting all ten of them in the van I saw Clair walking towards me.

" Working hard huh," She said walking with me back to the machine.

" Yes but it's better than seeing Alex and Rina fight," I said.

" Get in and fill the boxes," I said to her. She got in and started filling more boxes.

" They are starting to fight again," I said looking at the angry Alex sitting on the roof. 

Clair filled the boxes while I started lifting them to another van. Eventually Jim also helped me wich made it go ten times faster.

" they were fighting pretty bad," Jim said as we walked back to the boxes.

" every year it's getting more and scarier," I said lifting up a small box.

" no one knows the reason why they fight so much," Clair said to him.

" but it will be fine...Lia, Chloe, Pablo, and Rhon, will make it fine," I said walking back to the van.

" Is Rax with Brianna?" I asked him walking back.

" Yes," He said walking to wards the van.

eventually, the other girls also began helping and we worked the whole night.
