A deal

It has been 3 weeks since graduation and we had prom it was one the best nights of my life and now I'm on break for another 3 weeks until I go to collage which was another big step in my life and I was trying to supress my depression and addictions for my new beginning no one wants a lawyer who is an addict it makes their words questionable.

At Thalia's house

--------

"Hey Lia do you want a Mac Donald's breakfast?" I muttered scrolling through Uber eats menu "oh my fucking God you have taken the words out my mouth" she shot up excitedly "ok what do you want?" I peeked over my phone "I'll take a breakfast muffin and latte" she smiled and laid back down "ok" I said pressing on the items and ordering Pancakes and tea for myself "ok It's going to be half an hour" I muttered with a sigh "I'm starving I don't know why my foster parents don't shop more" she rolled her eyes at the thought of them

"hey look you're 18 soon enough you can move and do whatever the fuck you want" I rolled over and laughed "I can't wait it is really keeping me going plus moving into the dorms and having my own space most the time" she smiled at the thought of it "I forgot about dorms I wonder if they'll give me a roommate" I wondered to myself "I already know I'm getting one I got an email from her" she looked over at me

"what's her name?" I looked at her with question "Kenise Thompson She's Jamaican like me" she smiled "have you ever been to your home country?" I asked her "no I want to though my parents where to much of addicts to care for us" the light in her face faded away as she mention her parents "your parents are missing out on an amazing daughter including your sisters" I reassured her "oh I know I mean have you met me I'm just fab" she laughed and I giggled with her

"have you thought about what you want to do for your 18th?" she looked at me "I don't want one to be honest with I hate the attention being on me" I sighed at the thought "well you're different from me I'd love one" she smiled "I can make that happen" I smirked "you don't need to do that" she laughed "I'd love to actually it would give me something to do" I laid back down as I heard a knock at the door

"ouuu that'll be our Mac Donald's" she jumped up and ran downstairs to open the door "thank you" I heard her say as she came back up the stairs handing me my share of the food "thanks" I said opening the bag as I got a text from my mom which stated 'I need you to babysit Emmy while I go shopping will you?' and I replied saying yes I'll be there In 30

"Thalia I'm going to eat this and go home my mom wants me to babysit Emmy" I smiled eating my pancakes "ok that's fine.. by the way are you still coming clubbing with us?" she questioned "of course I am" I smiled at her getting up and grabbing my bag "okay see you on Saturday" she got in bed as I walked out and went home

------

"Okay you know how to look after a baby right" my mom said playing with Emmy and looking up at me "of course I do, do you think I'm stupid" I rolled my eyes and laughed "don't be sarcastic" she laughed "okay you can go now give me my niece" I said walking over to her and baby talking her "okay baby I love you both" she grabbed her car keys and left "I love you to mom" I replied as she left I picked up Emmy and started talking to her "so my dear niece how's having my brother as a dad" I giggled and tickled her tummy and she laughed at me her smile was so precious to me

Back in Italy

It had been 2 months since Carmine died in my arms and the night still haunts me no matter what I do to make it go away, and all I wanted to do was run to Farah's arms and breakdown she was my home and I couldn't help but want her and it was selfish I was still keeping tabs on her since most people know she dated me and now we're over dangerous people might try and get to her knowing I'm not around

*Knock Knock* "Maximo" I heard my mother say from behind the door "you can come in" I said as she entered as I put my shirt on "we need to talk son" she sighed as she looked at me "I'm taking it's not good news" I laughed "sit down" she said as she sat on my bed and I done as I was told "spit it out mother before you choke" I rolled my eyes "you're the Mafia leader now... and their is a duty that you have to for fill" she played with her hands "what do you mean?" my eyes widened "Maximo you need to be wedded" she let out a sigh of relief and I laughed aloud "what" "it's just Mafia law Bambino" she said with a tone of sadness "and who the fuck would I marry Madre" I got up in anger and turned away

"there is a girl In need of help from the Spanish Mafia" she got up and tapped my shoulder "Bambino her father will kill her if he found out what she has done" "and what me marrying her will save her?" I looked at her with confusion "yes in fact that's why I chose her for you" she tried to smile showing it would be okay "Madre what is her issue?" I looked at her waiting for an answer

"the girl is pregnant by her father's Enemy's son she is only 5 weeks it is not noticeable but hear me out when your father was leader her father thought greatly of him and still does marrying her into this bloodline would make her safe and she can raise her baby" she said with a begging look in her eye "Madre..." I sighed "I know it will be hard il mio ragazzo but I was once that girl to" she begged "I'll do it Madre" I rolled my eyes and she hugged me tight and thanked me "this is for the best" she smiled and left the room
