ANDRE'S POV
It was just another day like every other day. I woke up from sleep to get ready for school. I was twelve years old and happy like everybody else on the block.
I dragged my tired self from my bed and walked lazily to my bathroom. I had stubbornly stayed up late despite the strict warning that my mom had given to make me go to bed. After she had tucked me in, I pulled out my laptop and started to play video games. I had not been paying attention to the time and when I finally looked at the clock, it was 3 am and now I was drowsily trying to pull myself into the bathtub.
Finally, I was able to take my bath and get dressed. I was always trying to look cool because I was going steady with the prettiest girl at school and I felt like I needed to look just as good as she looked every day.
At that time I lived in Mexico in Baja California in a city called Tijuana. The neighborhood I liv
TONY'S POVThe place was dark and cold and it was just me in the house. I screamed out Derek's name but he didn't answer. My heart was beating frantically and I didn't understand what was going on. I had only been gone for a few minutes to get some milk, how did everybody leave in that small space of time? Where did they even go to?I searched Derek's room but he wasn't there. I went to the kids' room but they weren't there either.All the alarms in my head went off and I was frustrated. I tried to call Derek and the other guys but none of the numbers were connecting. I knew instantly that something bad had happened to them. First, I lost Camilla and now I have lost the rest of the people that I love.My phone started to ring loudly. I looked at the caller ID and it was Adrian that was calling me. "You have them, don't you?" That was the first thing I said when I answered the call. I sounded defeated because I knew that there was no
~*~*~*~TONY'S POVI walked a couple of miles to the spot where they had asked me to wait for them. I was ten minutes early but it was better for me to wait for them than the other way around.I was becoming nervous with every second that passed by. I was so nervous and my legs felt like they were weak.I couldn't remember the last time that I felt this scared in a long time. The last time I felt like this was when the night my parents die and the world seemed to be crashing around me. Then, I was a scared eight-year-old and I wasn't strong enough to defend myself.Now, I am twenty-one years old standing in a foreign country and I am more scared than I was that night. This time, the life of the woman I love is in the hand of a lunatic that won't disclose his identity.I was just starting to feel like I was on the verge of a breakdown when I saw an SUV like the one that picked up Camil
TONY'S POVBeing tied up to a chair in a dark and creepy basement wasn't my idea of the perfect evening but that was what was happening and there was nothing I could do to change it.My mind was racing with endless possibilities of what this Adrian dude had against me but I could find none.I knew I had an endless list of people that hated me but I didn't know why Adrian would be on that list.I had been in the basement for over two hours according to the calculations I made in my head, it was probably inaccurate but it was just a guess. Adrian had gone off to God-knows-where and I was alone with two of his gigantic men."So do you guys by any chance have any idea of why your boss wants to kill me?" I asked because the place and become too quiet and frankly, I was getting bored."Shut up!" The biggest dude to my right said."Okay. Rude much." I muttered. There was no way I would get
TONY'S POVThe days went by slowly and slowly. It was as though time had stopped moving at its normal pace and the earth was now tired of going around.My newfound brother did the same thing everything day. He came into the basement I was in and told me the same old thing, then he would tell me about how he would ruin my life, and then he would.I was really starting to think that this whole thing was a farce and this guy was just bored.It was seven-thirty in the evening when Adriano walked into the basement. But this time it was different, he brought in Camilla with him.I sat up straight and looked at her."Baby." I said in a whisper. I wanted to run to her and pull her into my arms and kiss her like crazy but my hands were tied to the stupid chair.Camilla didn't look all that different but she had bags under her eyes and she looked tired. I knew she wasn't sleeping much and it was pr
TONY'S POVThe days were losing meaning and I was slowly drowning in a dark pit. Ever since the day that Camilla had kissed Adriano, shit hasn't just been the same. I wondered what her reasons could be for committing such an act but I couldn't ask her.It had been four days since the both of them came to the basement. Since then, I had not seen or heard from Andre. My brother, though, was nice enough to send food to me so I wasn't left starving. But my bones were beginning to turn sore and I couldn't feel my legs anymore because it had been a little over a week since I had used them.The injury that I had sustained when Andre had punched me in the face had turned purple and I was afraid that it would soon get an infection.This point in my life has got to be the lowest point in my life since I became an adult. I had always fought so hard not to be that weak, helpless boy that I had been after my parents died.
DEREK'S POVWe had spent days building the perfect plan and today was the day we would finally execute the plan. I was really nervous because the plan was shaky at best, we didn't know how tight the security was at the location where they were. Just because the guy was careless enough to call Ballo with his phone number doesn't mean that he's stupid. It was obvious from the way he handled the entire situation that he was very smart and very clever. But we really had nothing to lose from trying."Is everything ready for us to go?" I asked Juan-Miguel who had just finished loading some guns in the van."Yeah, everything is set. Carlos is coming over with the bulletproof vests in a bit."I nodded and headed towards the van.All these preparations reminded me of the time when Ballo and I were kids and we use to play 'soldiers' in a pretend war. We always pretended as though we were shooting the bad guys and we c
TONY'S POVRed and blue lights flashed all over the place as the medics carried Andre on a gurney and took him into the ambulance. I entered the ambulance with him after I told Derek to go home with Camilla and the other guys.I had to go to the hospital with him because he had no other family besides me even though he tried to kill me, he was still my brother and in all honesty, I held no form of resentment towards him, I actually felt sorry for him.Andre was a boy who had been hurt by the actions of his father and he felt abandoned. He became resentful and bitter and sort to take revenge on people who didn't deserve it.I really felt for my brother and somehow in the middle of this crazy scheme, even though he had tried to kill me and he had forced my girlfriend to kiss him after kidnapping her, I still learned to love him.He and I weren't that much different. We were both scarred by things that
Nail Tech by Jack Harlow~*~*~TONY'S POVIt's been a week since the whole incident and we are back in California. Andre said that there was really nothing for him in Mexico, so he decided to come back and fight with us. His wound was already healing but he was still getting a lot of rest. The drive back to my house from the airport was filled with silence. It was as though nobody wanted to speak. Coming back to California was like coming back to death because everybody who might possibly want to harm me was either living here or knew that I lived here. When we got to the gate of my house, I used the remote on my phone to open it and we drove in. Everything looked just as I had left it, at least on the outside. When we all went inside, it was a different story all together. Everything in the house was shattered. My Samsung UA11050 Television was wholly shattered. It was evident that the person who did this had every intention of hurting me. "Damn!" Andre blurted out. "How could so

TONY'S POVThe alarm rings by 5 am on the dot but I am already awake. I have been awake for the past two hours because I was awakened by a nightmare. The same nightmare that always starts the same way; Everybody would be in the living room of my mansion and we would all be having fun and playing board games and generally having fun. Then all of a sudden, some faceless guys barge into the house and then they kill everybody except me. I start to cry knowing that it was all my fault and then I wake up sweating and gasping for air. This time though, I had succeeded in not waking Camilla up. God knows how much she needed to sleep, she had bags under her eyes, and her bright, big, beautiful eyes are now red. I laid back down and pulled her close to my chest. I inhaled her delicious vanilla strawberry smell and pressed a kis
