I have come to realize that there is no such thing as perfect. Or maybe I just attract more bad than good. Perhaps for everything that goes well there is something that has to go wrong too.
My baby got shot, I was waiting to see what this is going to do to her, but she is doing well. In fact so well that she is about to shove an ice block down my pants.
Trayton ~
The worst thing a man can see is when the person he loves is crying. Sometimes there is absolutely nothing you can do but give a solid shoulder to cry on. I have never been one that knew how to comfort. I always use to shy away from showing any affection. Somewhat cold and somewhat insensitive.But meeting Ava ~ has all changed that. I have learned how to comfort her and to take her tears away. Even though it scares me shitless, I have stayed next to her and help her seethe way through. She is crying again, she is mumbling through a bunch of sobs and I don't understand a word.&nb
My life is about to change, again, some of it good and some of it bad, depending which side you standing from. How can a man like me give a life when I am the one taking lives. The sad thing is taking lives is a lot less scary than giving one. Nothing in life happens as it is planned, when things change you fall in with the new and you take it from there.I have been an asshole towards Ava. I think asshole is putting it lightly, very lightly. I have had a week to digest everything that has happened. I am going to be a father and I embrace it, I have stopped thinking like a selfish jerk and even though the excitement has not fully set in, I know it definitely wi
In an instant it is all away.Everything is taken away.My life is defined in only two moments. The first night I met her and the last night I saw her. Once I was running towards her and the past week I was only running away from her. Never once did I think I would loose her. At times we have had our fights but we always would get back together. I honestly thought this would be one of those times and not one of those defining moments.Trayton ~”Where the fuck is she? Do any one of you know where she is? WHERE IS SHE?”Mary ~”Trayton I was with her the whole day and she said nothing to me.”I dial her number.It rings.And rings.And rings some more.
With Ava …This is the first morning in a very long time that I wake up alone. The view from up here is absolutely amazing, it is kind of sad that I cannot share it with someone by my side. This is also the most alone I have been in a very long time too. There is a big part of me that just want to phone him but I know that I should be strong and not give in so easily to him. If things are meant to be then they will be.I need to start planning, I know I am only about eight weeks or so but I need to get to a doctor and also I need to start reading up on baby stuff because I know absolutely nothing.It is scary but I am so excited.But I wish Tray was here. I know I should not, he will just break my heart and crush the excitement I feel with the baby.I wonder if I can trust mom not to tell him that I have
My head is just about to explode. Why the fuck did I drink so much last night. In fact I have not stopped since she has been gone and quite frankly I do not give a fuck. Yes I am busy self-destructing and I don't care.It has been a week now and we no closer than what we were before. I miss her, I am really nothing if I don't have her. The emptiness is killing me, the loneliness is suffocating. How am I supposed to continue living if my reason for reason for living is gone.I drag my sorry ass downstairs, it is time to sober up again.Kenton ~”You look like shit.”Trayton ~”I am glad you so observant.”Dominic ~”And you smell like a fucking brewery.”Trayton ~”I am glad your senses are working.”
What is the greatest thing a man can experience? Having what you have been searching for show up on your doorstep. It is true that good things happen to those who wait but damn did I had to wait long.Ava ~”Are you going to stop staring at my stomach and let me in?”Trayton ~”Sorry baby girl, you are just so...big.”Ava ~”You can be glad my hands are swollen or else I would have punched you.”Trayton ~”Come everyone is in the kitchen.”Ava ~”Who would have ever guessed that?”I am a mess, but I am a happy mess. My baby is here and she is here with my other baby, a very very big baby. They are both very big, to think that is how much I missed. I don’t want to miss the rest of it, I can only imagine how big she is
I wake up this morning with crunching in my ear, now I know for a fact that I don't have a dog, which only leaves one person. That person is sitting happily eating a pickle and talking to the baby.Ava ~”Mommy's little girl really loves Nutella doesn't she? Well mommy loves Nutella just as much as my little pumpkin does.”I watch her for a while, it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life. The way she is dipping that pickle into that Nutella while holding her other hand on her belly.Trayton ~”Baby girl.”Ava ~”Oh you are awake.”Trayton ~”Crunching pickles kind of has that effect on you.”Ava ~”Sorry baby but Leia was hungry.”Trayton ~”Baby girl
Fate does not ask you what you want, fate knows what is best for you even when you don’t. It determines what comes into your life, everything you need will come to you at the perfect time. Are you meant to lose people you love? I believe that things do not happen by accident but there is a reason for everything that is meant to be. Nothing is ever taken from your hands to punish you but it is only leaving your hands empty for something better to come, something like finding the ones you love.We have just phoned Ava's parents, after a few minutes with her father on the phone, she burst out crying. It's up to me now to convince him that his daughter is alive and that she in front of me. But I need to calm her and baby down first.Trayton ~”Mr Owens please give me a minute, I need to calm her down.”Richard Owens ~”Sure not a problem.”
In front of me is my wife for little less than two hours now, there is tears that are dropping like waterfalls down her cheeks. She is deeply pained and I understand it, she is being faced with me going away for a very long time and leaving her and the baby bugs alone. If I was the old Trayton, then I would say what the fuck I will go do the time. But no, this is my life, for once I am really truly happy and now it is threatened to be taken away.The way I see it, we have three options here. I either go to jail and see my baby bugs when they are teenagers, or I kill someone else to hide away who we killed now, or someone else takes the fall. Which three of thes
This must be an awful nightmare. Am I seriously getting arrested at my own wedding? Someone better kick me and tell me this is one fucked up joke. I can seriously not be getting arrested at my own wedding. Who did I murder? Stupid question, more like which one I did murder. How would they even know?But I am afraid it is not a joke because they are coming closer and they sure do have a set of handcuffs in their hand. There is a damn room full of assassins and mafia bosses, why the fuck can't they arrest one of them. Ava is going to kill me even before I get locked up.But hey, maybe I should act dumb and they will think they have the wrong man.Trayton ~”Sorry but you need to repeat that.”Samuel Burns ~”We said you are under arrest Mr DeCarlo.”Trayton ~”You do see that I am busy
Loosing something you never had might sound easy but it is hard to let go if you knew that it could have been something good.Ava will never know what it would feel like to have a brother again. Is she hurting? More than she will ever admit. What gives her comfort is to be reunited with the rest of her family.Her sister has just presented us with a letter that Adam wrote before the dreadful tragedy. Ava e
There is a lot that you can say about a man that has it all. Some of it was good and some of it was bad. A man that had it all did not have to ask, he took. He did not want, but demanded. He had the right to everything before it was even given. He never had to choose, he never had to wait. He worked hard and played even harder. He lived on the edge, there was nothing he feared. He dominated everything and everybody. He was a god in his world.That was Trayton DeCarlo.
I can still remember that day she proposed to me. But let’s not forget about my failed attempt to propose to her. Or should we maybe say our poor attempts to go out for dinner. We both did not know much about love, how to do it and how to act it. We both know we felt it but were too scared to even say it. If I recall I had that little habit of telling her in her sleep. Well look at us now. We don't doubt our love, we are just not sure when to unite it.Trayton ~”Baby girl I think I have had a few tiny little heart attacks. Please let a man out of his misery.”
I have never been one to overlook small details. After all it is small details that can get you in a heap of trouble. The kind of trouble we find ourselves in. But then how would you know if somebody else was following the one that is following you. That just makes it pure coincidence, something you can never expect.There is no time to think of what we could have done better now. All we need to do is get ourselves out of this mess.
With every choice you make in life there comes that moment where you have the time stop and think if this is really what you want to do. That split second that will determine between what is right or what is wrong. That moment that will define who you are and the path your life is going to take.If there is any time then now is the right time to pull out of this. I can pull the plug and we can drive this car home. But I would also be disappointing a friend, a brother but most importantly one mean ass mafia boss. Do I want to secure a future of wealth and no need to want for my family or do I want to create a life of fear and constantly running and hiding in corners?I need to decide because I either finish this sentence or take a man's life or I drive off and hope I get home before Jackson comes after me.Anthony ~”Sorry Trayton but I did not hear that.”
How far are you willing to go for a friend? A friend that is like a brother but a friend that is also your boss, the Mafia Boss, Jackson D'Angelo.If there is something I have learned in all these years then it is never to cross Jackson. If you cross him it better be in a good way. There is one thing you just don't do and that is piss the biggest boss in the business off.My first job for him is simple, take his underboss out and then I will take his place. But that is not the sole reason, Anthony burst through and when I say burst through, he literally kicked the bathroom door down one day while Jackson and Kayley were fighting. And now Kayley, the bad ass Mafia Queen wants him gone.But this would not be happening if Anthony was still with his girl Danny. See Danny just had her own little baby boy. They all thought that it was Anthony's but in one hot as argument it came out th
Today is the big day, it is one of those days, one of those moments that you just know is going to change your life forever. Change does not come easy, I have never been known as someone that sits well with change. It is not that I don't embrace it, it is just one of my least pleasurable experiences.The entire house is a buzz this morning. My mom is desperately running after an overexcited Ava to calm her down. The boys are all in the kitchen having their coffee, not the least bit fazed by all the commotion in the house. And me, I am trying to be useful somewhere but not succeeding.
