"Love look at me"
His voice remained deep yet gentle. I still didn't look at him. My eyes wondered everywhere but his eyes. I could feel him getting irritated.
His hand made his way to my throat as he held it. Strong enough to keep me in his grasps...

"Lousia, get your act together," My father yelled, getting closer to my face. This was not the first time he had done this. He is abusive and the mafia boss. I stay in my line till my father puts both of us in a ring. I take all anger out on him.
"Yes, father" I fixed my incorrect posture and went back into my position.
"You are my daughter. I expect better from you," he yelled like no tomorrow. With that, I took my right fist to his face, just like he thought me. My left leg hit his lower abdomen, causing a scream of pain from my father.
"As my father, I expect more from you" I left the ring and headed to shower.
"Lousia," My mother called. My mother was so different from my father I would never have thought they would end up together.
"Yes, mamma, "I said, turning around to face her.
"Your father told me about the fight that happened." My mother stated as she walked closer to me.
"Mamma," I said as I walked into my bedroom.
"Hun. Your father is a nice man; he is trying. I know he did you and your brothers wrong, but Lousia, you are his only daughter. Would you please try and fix things with your father? We will have a family dinner tonight; your father has some news he wants to share."
"Okay, I will be there."
I closed my door and walked to my bed. My family had to be the most fucked up thing anyone could come in counter. With a given, I made lifelong friends because of my family and my dad's job. Other than that, this family has so many secrets and problems no one can help. We all have our fair share of secrets that no one needs to know.
I decided to give my mind a rest and hop in the shower. I turned the water heater to the maximum. I stepped in and stood right under the flowing water. I just stood there for a moment before continuing my shower. I ran my hand through my hair as I began showering. After 40 minutes, I turned the water off and got out of the shower. I was wrapping a towel around my body along with a towel for my hair.
I walked out of the bathroom and checked the time on my phone. "8:34". "Shit dinner" I managed to find a pair of leggings and a big t. I threw the clothes on as I rushed to get to dinner. "Running down the stairs, I saw my brothers walk down behind me.
"You guys are late to dinner, too" I turned around on the stairwell staring at them.
"No, Mom told us we were going to have a late dinner" John laughed. He took out his phone and showed me the messages between him and mother.
"See, you didn't get the memo to miss wet hair," Mason teased, poking my shoulder then messing with my hair.
"I will still beat the shit out of you family or not," I stated. I smacked Mason's shoulder hard enough to grab his attention.
