Selena Rodriguez

Waking up I could feel my tears forming. Fuck him I swear he better explain everything.

"Elijah" I screamed. Bursting the door open he wasn't here.

Yeah of course he's not here.

I've never went through his stuff, but this time it seems like a valid reason to. Going into his room I find a gun in the shelf, some documents of people he's killed.

This is fucking sick. My brother is a fucking killer, he's not the loving brother I thought he was. Does he kill innocent people?

Letting the thoughts eat me alive I went out from his room falling on the floor.

There I laid, crying my lungs out.

~~~~

"I'm home" a voice was heard. Not thinking of responding, my brother opened the door.

"Selena? Are you okay, what's wrong" he asked, worry filled his voices

He sat next to me. "Don't fucking touch me monster" I screamed.

"What?"

"Care to fucking tell your sister why the fuck you are in a fucking mafia" I yelled. He looked at me with shock in his eyes. He looked hurt.

"Listen Selena it's not the right timing right now, I promise to explain everything. We have a guest" He tried to calm me down.

"Leave" I howled. He left the room and I could hear a familiar voice.

Slightly opening the door I saw him.

Antonio.

What the fuck is he doing here?

"I'm sorry for what happened earlier I–, I didn't know she'd find out this way" Elijah whispered sadly to Antonio.

Antonio hugged my brother and said something to him that I slightly couldn't hear.

His eyes caught mine as we held eye contact. I hurried and closed my door.

Shit.

Later on a knock was heard. "Food is ready" Elijah said slowly. It was obvious he was hurt.

Fuck I have to eat with him.

Walking over to my door and opening it, I see his eyes light up as he sees me.

He looked at me up and down, and that's when I realize that I'm only wearing shorts and a tank top.

Embarrassing.

I sat across him while Elijah sat beside me. "Selena" Elijah started.

"I brought Antonio here to finally tell you the truth, turning out you already found out yourself. I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, I–, I just thought you wouldn't support me" He forced a smile.

Looking at him I could see the pain in him." How didn't I notice" I murmured blankly, staring at Antonio while I was stabbing my fork into the food harshly.

Antonio cleared his throat.

"Yes Selena, now before you turn to be mad at your brother let me explain it." He stated.

I looked at him blankly.

"When your brother was 18, he had a lot of problems, money problems. Since you lost your parents, you were homeless. You didn't know because you were with your friends" He explained

"I found him crying that day, and decided to let him work for me. He really wanted to, he begged me and that's when I gave this apartment to him. He has since worked for me for 5 years." He smiled.

It all makes sense, now. I just never thought we were homeless, and that he was suffering. Smiling I hugged my brother.

"Why didn't you tell me I could've helped you" I said. "You were only 13 how could I let your little brain worry over something I should take care of" He hugged me back.

"I did it for us, and I really enjoy my job. I enjoy being with Antonio" He added.

"He's like a brother to me" He smiled. "Thank you Antonio" I smiled at him

He nodded and smirked.

Hot

"It was nothing bambina" He smirked. I couldn't help but blush.

I gulped still feeling the need to say something that's bothering me. And I need an answers

"Do you guys kill innocent people" I look up to them. Their eyes darkened.

"No."

"Then, why did you kill him" I blankly said looking at Antonio. I'm scared of his answer. Elijah looked at Antonio in confusion, not knowing what's going on.

"What do you mean?" Elijah asked.

"David Ballesta" Antonio blurted out, keeping eye contact with Elijah. Elijah's eyes widened. He looked back at me.

"Listen Selena. There's some stuff that you cannot know. But I'm safe to say that we don't kill innocent people, we don't only kill but protect our loved ones, you, other families, companies, the world from bad people." Elijah rubbed my cheek.

"Don't be scared, trust me" Elijah pulled me in for a hug. I nodded and started crying in his chest. "It's okay" He sighed

~~~

Eating my spaghetti Antonio and Elijah continued to talk, though I noticed he kept staring at me.

"Excuse me" I excused myself as my phone was ringing. Antonio's head snapped to my phone and clenched his jaw as he saw the name.

'Jordan'

"Oh my god it's been forever" I smiled."I know, how are you?"

"Im so much better finally hearing from you. How is LA?" I asked excitedly.

"Its wonderful."

We talked for a while. Jordan was my dancing partner, he was absolutely amazing at dancing, better than me. He was the one supporting me when no one from the team did.

Due to him finding a better place to work for he had to quit. Shutting my phone off I walk back to the table.

"Who was it" Elijah asked. "Jordan" I smiled.

"Who's Jordan?" Antonio chuckled raising his eyebrow.

"Just a friend" I forced a smile.

I could see him clench his jaw. I love pissing him off.
