Sup, my names Bugsy, Bugsy Owen. I live in this shithole that people like to call hope village. Hope village is in a bigger place called Nevada.
In case you were wondering my family is dead- I know that sounded horrible but honestly, I couldn't care less- except for my twin brother, he is my everything. We do everything together. I'm not surprised my parents are dead. Awful people. Words cannot describe how relieved I am that my father is dead. The things he did to us are unforgivable. He abused me and my brother, he would punch and kick until we blacked out and had to be taken to hospital. That's when I learnt to ignore the pain. In fact he is the reason I have developed a condition called CIP. CIP stands for Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. This means that I can not feel any physical pain e.g. I can't feel the pain of someone punching me or kicking me or even stabbing me. It comes in handy sometimes. It means that I'll have a peaceful death. And for that, I am glad. This condition is also life threatening because if something severe happened to me like an internal bleeding or a heart attack, I won't be able to feel it so it will come as a surprise if it does happen and when I realise something is wrong, it'll probably be too late.
Anyway, back to me and my brother. My brother goes by the name of Slingshot. We came to this town because after our jail sentence, we got dumped here. We got done for a number of things: robbery; attempted murder; drug dealing- not taking. That's why we came her; the prisons got fed up of seeing us in jail.
We are now gang members. We are pretty high up in the gang. We are respected and feared. We are the insiders of the group. If the gang is doing a con, me and Slingshot are always the first to get picked as the insiders. Our gang isn't just pure brute strength and gruesome executions. No. That is too stereotypical. I mean we are pretty fierce and we practically run this town but we are one of the best conners in America. We are sneaky and skilled. That is why we are the most feared gang in the country and this is also why other gangs don't stand a chance against us. But there is also a group inside the gang that is just for cons. This includes the gang leader, me, my brother, my best friend and his brother.
Our gang leader -my current boyfriend- is called Cruiser. He is the most feared out of all of us. If he orders you to do something then you do it without hesitation. But once you get to know him like I do, he is just a big softie. But obviously only I know that. My best friend, Flame, and his butch brother, Muscles, have always been there for me and my brother. The gang is my family now. And I could never leave them, ever. We are all so close. We may be a fierce and territorial gang but we know how to have fun. We are not always scary and tough. We are still young and me and my brother are still teenagers. We just know how to, you know... Defend ourselves.
