As I stared into Austin's eyes, I see nothing but darkness. I'm confused. What is he talking about? A tunnel in the restaurant? My silence must have ticked him off because I'm the blink of an eye, he got up off the bed and slapped me.
I thought I was dead. I really did think I was. But apparently, I was of use to someone. I had an agenda. I didn't know what it was. I couldn't think about anything else, but why would he save me? Of all people, he was the one to save me... I'm starting to think that this was their plan all along. I just hope this one has a different outcome.Flashback
I was taking Alyssa away from here. Away from this dangerous situation that I put her in. I couldn't help but feel somewhat anxiety when she was shot. When she fell to the ground. I thought she was dead. Luckily, she wasn't. But I know my father will have his people searching for the both of us. He might even send some of his guys to Alyssa's family house.But my main priority right now is Alyssa. I should have protected her. I shouldn't have been drinking. I shouldn't have beaten her all that time. She probably hates me. She probably wishes the worst on me. But now it's my time to prot
Both men got behind each other and eventually tried to flank me out on both sides. I was running red lights, hitting speed bumps, and doing all kinds of crazy shit, but I was real glad that my windows were tinted. I heard Alyssa moan out in pain but I couldn't slow down. I couldn't let those men catch up to us. As I was speeding down the street, I took a quick peek at Alyssa, and saw her holding her head."Alyssa I'm gonna lean out the window and shoot at this one car on my side. When I tell you now, I want you to grab the wheel. My foot will be on the gas."
It didn't feel right. Our family was falling apart. My sister was god knows where. My dad was dead. We all were just falling apart. There was nothing anyone could do to fix it. We all did our own thing. My thing was sleeping with different women each night, eating, and drinking. I couldn't get over the fact that if I would've spoken up that day at the mall, this wouldn't be happening. As I laid in bed with my eyes closed, I pictured me and Alyssa as kids again.Running around in the backyard. I was chasing after her with a snake I found. She was so scared. O
The next day, I went to the police station. My uncles didn't come with me because they've made it clear that Alyssa is never coming back. Even though I'm starting to run out of hope, it doesn't mean that I can't try. It felt like it was over 90 degrees outside and here I was with a hoodie and sweatpants. As I walked into the police station, I saw people who were arrested being led to a holding cell. I saw cops sitting around drinking coffee.My stomach growled and I started to wish that I actually ate something today instead of just leaving the house. Walkin
Today was a busy day. It just so happened to be Valentine's Day and couples were coming in and out. Loved ones sharing this happy day with each other. I was gonna be working double shifts today and tomorrow so I was gonna be on my feet for a long period of hours. But I don't complain, the money's good.
The mysterious man and I held eye contact for what felt like hours but was only a few seconds. I finally broke the contact when I looked at dad struggling to get up. I helped him as Hunter stood in front of us, wanting to protect his family. Not wanting to lose us like we lost mom."You better get out of our way boy." One of the men said with a gruff voice. The two men were about over 6'2 and had bulky muscles. Hunter on the other hand stood at 6'0 and had muscles too but not like those men.
Dad sent Hunter and I home before my shift ended. He said we needed to get ahead of packing before Monday comes. If someone were to ask me if I knew my family was involved in criminal activities, I would've called them stupid. But today, after finding the out the mess my grandparents got my dad in, got us in, I wouldn't know what to believe. Hunter could tell I was on edge. He was on edge too.

As we were all going to my fathers office, he went to go and get dressed. I stood by the mini bar, getting me a glass of scotch when my brother, Andre walks up to me."How are you feeling?" I d
As I started walking over to Alyssa, I could see her eyes following my every movement. Not looking away. She was scared, I admit that. But I could sense that she was ready for whatever I was ready to bring. When I finally got up to her, I slowly put my hand onto her face and she jumped before relaxing into my grip. No doubt scared that I will hit her again like I did before.
I was now standing in front of Austin as he sat on the edge of his bed. We were in his room and he wasn't going to let her get in the shower before I did whatever he wanted me to do.My eyes were loo
