JUSTIN: “Are you okay?” My heart racing, “you…who…who is that?” “Yea…I'm fine” she pushes me off her, “what are you doing here Warren?” “My job and you're welcome” anger already building inside of me, “what the fuck…” She sighs and looks over to the dead body, “fuck! You shouldn't have done that, you've put me in so much shit now” she groans and face palms. “Well what was I supposed to do? He drew a gun at you…” “You weren't even supposed to be here! I can handle myself, I told you this!” her eyes widened with anger and a hint of fear.I step back, chuckling sarcastically, “are you being serious right now?” “Am I being…? Do you know what you have just done? You have just killed the son of one of the biggest shipments company in the whole of Europe, we're done for” “That's Liam Santiago?”She faces me, her eyes glimmering with anger, “yes smart pants,” she brings out her phone, “Miguel, I need a clean up team, hurry.” She cuts the line. “I'm sorry I didn't know, okay? I was a
ISABELLA: “I know you stay somewhere way bigger than this…” Sasha laughs, “..but um welcome to my humble home, please make yourself comfortable”Her house was pretty, it was small but had space, the design was really beautiful and colorful, “please I don't want to intrude”She drops her baby, “but I insist” she looks between I and Justin as if noticing tension, “...I still have errands to run and my daughter would be out for the next four to five hours so please make yourself comfortable” she smiles and grabs her keys. She pulls Justin to her side, whispering something, he turns to look at me and I see a glimmer in his eyes but he quickly looks away and Sasha leaves. The door clicks behind me, “when did it happen?”I sigh and cross my arms, “yesterday..” “What? Why didn't you call me?” “call you? So you'd do what hm?” I scoff, anger already brewing inside of me, “the security system was damaged, the place he was chained was also damaged almost like someone broke it. I have been lo
JUSTIN: I stared outside my window for what like hours, just hearing the birds sing brought an unusual calm to my chest. It's been ages since I felt like this way, since I wasn't always on my guard or even thought about….her. My door squeaks open and I see Nia dress up up with Milly on her hip, “hello brother”I sit up, “you're up early” I chuckle. “It's past eleven Justin,” she chuckles, “wanna go grocery shopping?” “And alert everyone that I'm in town? Yea hell no” I cross my hands.She laughs, “I don't think anyone would remember you, everyone's either moved away or…dead. Come on, I can't watch Milly and drive” she pleads.I grunt, “I'll be down in ten minutes” “Yessss! Hurry up okay..I got loads of errands today” she smiles and leaves.**************I remember this store like the back of my hand, me, Nia and Lucas would run around while my parents shop for groceries. We always loved grocery shopping, it was the only way we could get away with picking anything we wanted wi
ISABELLA: “Got a minute?” I see Cara peeking through the door.I close the file, “come in”She enters and closes the door, “literally the longest we haven't spoken” she chuckles lightly. “Well, we do take our stubbornness from dad” I stand up and walk slowly to her, “Cara I..” “I should apologize, unfortunately I'm still a child when it comes to…well everything” she laughs, “I'm sorry, for…” “Hey it's okay…don't you ever apologize for being yourself, come here” I hug her, “I should be the one apologizing, you're my sister, I should be able to open up to you about anything and everything” “Well…” she lets go of me, “you weren't raised by mum, you'd have been an open book” she laughs. “Wanna talk now?”I nod and we both sit, “my nightmares came back, worse this time, therapy didn't do a thing” I chuckle sadly. “What do you keep seeing?” she holds my hands, concern in her tone and on her face. “Blood, everywhere. Dad..slit throat” I clear my throat and swallow my tears, “I've bee
JUSTIN: I stare out the moving train, music blasting through my headphones..I grip the pamphlet tightly remembering Isabella’s words to me before she gave me a forced vacation…now I'm on my way to see the other woman who'll forever have my heart..my sister. I haven't seen her since our brother died, she called for weeks but I couldn't reply, guilt, shame, anger, revenge were constantly in my thoughts…I didn't want to shift it to her, so I stayed away. I grab my bags from the trunk and walk briskly to her house, taking a deep breath in..I knock praying she answers. Slowly the door opens, I see a little girl giggling, her eyes wide with excitement, she jumps on my leg and I carry her, “you've grown Mills”She giggles, “yes Uncle Justin” she laughs and I smile. “Where's your mum?” “Making pastries,” I pick my bag up and walk into her house, everything still the same, her house had this welcoming tone I had missed so much. “Milly, who was..” she stops in her tracks, “Justin?” She b
