Chapter 7: Difficult Choice

Alex

"I don't want you to have a gun" she demanded and I fell silent.

How can I not have a gun? 

I am the leader of my gang. 

It's my responsibility to keep my people safe. How's that possible without a gun?

"I'll not force you, you know?" she said and I looked at her. She was close to me right now. "But if you really choose your gun, don't force me either"

I didn't reply. I couldn't. It was such a difficult choice for me.

"I want to hear your reply soon, Alex. I really hope you'll tell me tomorrow" she said and turned around and left.

I couldn't stop her once again because I didn't know what I will choose. I can't leave her. She... She is the first one to make my heart race when we're near. She is the first one that I respect more than anyone or anything. I can't do this.

But without my gun?
