War for Love

chapter seventeen

Alana Russo

"Alvaro you need to calm down and listen to me," I tell him. I've never seen him this angry in the twenty-five years we've been married.  "No, amoré she's not seeing him ever again. I'm taking everything from her and she may hate me after but she will be grateful one day I did it." Alvero tells me while rubbing the center of his forehead. "I understand you want to protect her but let her decide without being scared to lose us. If it doesn't work out she has to feel like she wants to run towards us not away from us. She's eighteen you can't hold her hand for the rest of her life."  

"Alana that man tried to kill all of us multiple times. It's not only for her but for you, Cressida en Rafael too. We can not trust him into our family after all that." Alvero explains with a sigh. "I understand but maybe we need to trust Talisha's judgement. She wouldn't have told Anny of us if he was an actual threat." I tell him. "Let's meet him, you have those boring meetings with him where you try to find peace with each other and all of us are happy." Alvero sighs but slowly nods his head. "But if I feel something off one time I'm killing him  and  I'm feeding him to the dogs on the street ." Alvero says. "I love you," I say before kissing him on the cheek. "You're lucky I love you two" Alvero says.  "What are you on you've loved since the beginning." I say. "Can't beat you on that one baby."

My phone rings and as soon as I see that it's Jason I pick up the call. "Heyy baby how did it go?" He asks and I sigh. "Let's just say my dad wasn't happy and neither was my brother." I say. "It's okay after everything that has happend it will take time." Jason says. "Sometimes I just wish al this mafia nonsense didn't exist." I say. It's frustarating that I can't even ignore it, I am born into this and can not grow out of it. "I know, we just gotta make it the best we can." He says. "If you want we can hang out later?" Jason say. "Of course, I'll talk to you later." I say. We say goodbye and hang up the phone.  Right after I hear a knock on my door.

"Come in." I say and it's my mother. I've always admired her, my mother is so beautiful and strong. She never tells us details about what she has went through but I know it was a lot to deal with. "I talked to your dad about the whole boyfriend sitaution." She says. "What did he say?" I ask. "Before I tell you that we need to talk." My mother says. "I know standing up against your father is scary sometimes but you have to start doing it on your own, I can't always do that for you guys." She explains to me. "And also, that Jason guy. I want you to be carefull. As wonderfull as he may look please don't forget the last 2 years and what he has done for us. I've seen your Grandmother get brainwashed by a man, let me tell you: I'ts not a good look."

"Mom trust me he's not using me." I say and she nods her head. "I do trust you baby I just don't want you getting hurt." She pulls me into a hug.  "Your dad said it's fine but as soon as he feels like something is off he will kill him. Trust me your dad doesn't joke about killing." My mom says. "Oh my days I love you. You're amazing." I tell her and she starts smiling. "Yeah I know I'm the best person ever."

Later on Jason picks me up and we're driving towards his house. I haven't told him and I'm going to when we get to his house. We drive in a akward silents and I hate every second of it. When we get to the house Jason opens my door and we walk in. We sit down on the couch and again there's the akward silents. "I talked with my mother and she talked to my dad." I say. I see Jasons eyes light up in excitment as I  say this. "Really? What did she tell him?" He asks me. "Basicly she convinced him to let me do my thing, and he said it's okay as long as he doesn't feel like somethings off."  I say.
