We got home, I and my uncle got out of the car, leaving the guy who’d came with him to drive it to the garage. Making our way inside without talking. “I need to talk to you, Uncle.” I said without being scared, I didn’t stutter or fumble my words as I said it. “What’s that honey?” He asked still smiling. “I want to quit. I’m done.” I said in a serious way which made my uncle only laugh at me. “Oh. You’re so funny.” He said while still laughing and he stopped abruptly and took a close look at me. “Wait. You’re serious?” He asked with a stern look and somehow I got scared. “Y... Yes.. I am.” I answered with my shaky voice, I looked down at my shoes because I couldn’t look at his face. “What Do You Mean?!” He yelled and this time his eyes were red. “Uncle please. I just... I want a life, I want to get to live like a normal teenager, please Uncle.” I said with my voice shaky, I was crying now. “You could leave. You can quit, I have no problem with that.” Uncle

The sight of Sean’s dead body made my heartache and it wasn’t only because I was hurt, when I’d survived the accident, I got an injury in my heart, I was already on my way to recovery and then seeing the only person that seemed to understand or care about me lay down there, on the ground lifeless, made it hurt even more. What about Cherry? How will she live with the news? I cried all through our ride home, it was a silent ride and I knew what would be waiting for me as I got home wouldn’t be a lovely sight. We got home and I got dragged inside and already blindfolded by my Uncle’s guys before I could register what was going on, I felt someone tie me up and the blindfold was removed. I struggled to get out of the chair but each efforts proved futile and I had no other choice than to sit still and listen to whatever he has to say. I was not only mad because of Sean’s death but I also hated my uncle even more than I had initially hated him. “What were you thinking sneaking ou

The sound of the door slamming jolted me awake and I opened my eyes to see Connor walking in with a tray of food.“How long have I been sleeping?” I asked as I rubbed my eyes trying to bring myself awake fully.“More than long enough, it’s been almost 12 hours, are you really Okay?” He asked as he sets the food down on the table and came to have a seat beside me.“Yeah.” I answered. “I am perfectly fine.” I added and I yawned. I’d just had the longest dream and it was more of a memory than a dream, I thought about Sean and I missed him, there are some chapters of my life that I hadn’t opened up about to Connor, I looked at him and I smiled, at least now he knows about my uncle and how he’s been threatening me, the most important details I’m leaving out right now is the pregnancy and I would tell him, the time just isn’t right yet.“Hm. Okay.” Connor subtly answered and shrugged his shoulders. “Well, Julia made soup and asked me to get it up here to you.” He added and the smell of th

“You still wouldn’t give all that up? Why do you have to be so selfish?” I heard my dad say from the room I was in. My mum had warned me not to come out until she asked me to and I know it was because of the fight she was going to get into with my dad. It gets exhausting, I was tired of it all. ***10 minutes earlier***“Stay in here baby. I need to have a talk with your dad.” My mum said as she sat me down.“You mean fight?” I asked, holding her back and not wanting her to leave because the “talk” they usually have never ends well for my mum and she ends up getting bruises.“No. We just want to talk, adult conversation.” She said. “Also, you’re going to be a big brother soon.” My mum added as she guided my hand down to her belly and just at that moment, I felt it kick.“What was that?” I asked, confused and surprised.“That is your sister, she likes you.” My mum answered referring to the kick the baby did when I touched her belly.“I am having a sister?” I asked in excitement.

Hitting the wall and smashing the mirror in frustration, I groaned. The door opened and a terrified Alannah walked in.“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?” She asked, carefully walking towards me.“Matt just called me.” I started saying and Alannah nodded her head encouraging me to continue. “They escaped with them and he lost most of his men, he got hit too and he’s on his way to the hospital before we stopped talking.” I continued.“Oh God.” Alannah gasped, covering her mouth. “Is he Okay? Will he make it?” She asked and I nodded.“He’s strong, he seem fine.” I said. “I’m going to Cali today, I’ll call and let them know I’m coming so they can get the plane ready, I know where he might have taken them to.” I said, pulling up my phone and punching in a contact.“How do you know?” She asked me.“Might have been a long time but I knew him for eight to ten years, he’s my dad.” I answered as I placed the phone on my ear waiting for it to be answered.“Well then, lets start packing.” Alannah
