Your Shadow Crosses Mine

1

I stand against a wall while I see my father approaching.

"You really thought you could run from me" he chuckles

As he moves closer he runs his thumb over my cheek.

"You really are a spitting image of your mother"

"If only you didn't kill her" I spit

His face almost goes cold like usual as he steps back taking his gun out.

Oh shit.

As the gunshot goes off i have to hold my shoulder.

I mean come on he is a mob boss and my father and still has shit aim.

I knew him in the stomach before making a run for it.

I mean for god sakes he is supposed to me father and instead every time I see or hear him I just want the ground to open and swallow me.

I mange to get behind the dumper in this alley so he can't see me.

"You can run but you can't hide"

I shake to that uncontrollable.

The sound of his footsteps getting closer then silence.

Then finally the footsteps fade.

I catch my breath as fast as possible getting up.

I make my way out of the alleyway to see my father standing there.

I make a run for it jumping over a fence and entering a building.

There's loads of people in dresses and suits.

And I'm slightly regretting my choice right now.

I try keeping my head down to make it to the bathroom.

God why are there so many people

I bump into a hard chest and I can feel myself regretting this even more.

"Sage?"

What the-

Oh you have got to be kidding me

I look up and I can clearly see who it is.

"Leonardo"

"Well this is a surprise"

"Don't be cocky all your life"

"Last time I ever saw you, you ran with a couple grand from my bank account"

Still proud of that

"You want the money back or something"

"No I'm more impressed, no one really tries but you, you push all the right buttons and get what you want"
