Aiden

Six months ago

I wake up to the sound of screams. It's still dark outside. I rush out of bed and throw on the clothes closest to me. I ran out of my room, and down the hallway. More people are coming with me. The guns. The knives. The ropes. The screaming. I follow it and I get to the big hall. I look down into the middle. People dressed in all black with hoods, have guns pointing towards us. One of them steps aside and I see a woman. My mother.

I try to run to her, but stop abruptly when I hear the guns click. One of the men pointed their gun at my mothers head. I look over to my left, and I see my father. He's looking panicked down at my mother. but doing nothing to help her.

"What do you want?" My father asks them.

The person in the middle steps out, and pulls his hood down and says , "it's nice to see you again rob."

"Paulo Russo." My father says.

"Yes."

"What do you want?" He asks again.

"I want your men." Paulo says checking his gun.

"You're not gonna get them."

"Oh but you want your wife back, right?" He says smirking.

"You're not gonna take any of my men." I look at my father like he's crazy. He can't let them take my mother. The gun pointed at my mother clicks, and in turn my head. My mother looks scared to death, and I can't do anything. But my father can.

"Father, just give him the m-" " he's not getting any of them Aiden," my father interrupted me.

I look down at my mother, who is also looking at me. Look away she mimicked. I shook my head and kept watching her. My throat began to hurt as tears filled my eyes. But I wouldn't let any of them fall. Look away Aiden, please she mimicked. I love you, we mimicked each other, before I finally looked away.

My eyes focused on Paulo. He and my father are just staring at each other.

Paulo opens his mouth to say something and breaks the silence, "you have to make your choice Rob."

"No." I turn my head towards my father.

"What?" Paulo asks and I can hear his smirk.

"No. You're not getting my man."

The tears in my eyes come back and I take a quick glance at my mother. She is crying. She notices I'm looking and shakes her head. I force my eyes back on Paulo. He smiles and snaps his fingers.

A bang sounded. People came running from behind.

I didn't look.

Because she told me not to.
