You're In My Head

A lesson

I had opened my mouth to speak but at that moment I couldn't. I thought this was ridiculous his excuse was that because he was gonna become the next leader of the mafia he cheated on me.

How stupid does he think I am? I am not that naive I could not understand why he had a gun but it was not that important. My brother has guns that's why this mess was happening in the first place.

"Fine.." I sigh "Give me the gun" he looks at me but does not question it. I place the gun in my hands properly and take a breath.

I had witnessed my mother with a gun before my dad stumbled home one night he smelled of whiskey and he could not stand straight. He was irritable and my Mother did not ask the reason. He asked for dinner and when my mother explained she put it away and was getting ready for bed he became Furious.

He lunged at her knocking her off her feet she crawled to the coffee table in a struggle and pointed the gun at my father. He finally stopped and fell asleep on the couch without a word. My mom rehid the gun after that and said it was only for safekeeping.

From that day on guns only reminded me that no matter who is holding them someone will always lose their life whether you love them or not.

I aimed at one of the run-down chairs in the left corner inhaled and pulled the trigger as I exhaled I was relieved I had hit the target, I turned and gave Mason the gun "Good now try again" he smirked "But I already hit the target?" "yes you did now do it a second time"

"No, why do I need protecting? You're not a part of the mafia you just tell everyone that to keep your hazardous reputation" I roll my eyes and set the gun on the collapsing table close to me.

I walk out of the room and down the stairs case but Mason is not far behind calling for me as I ignore him. "Angelina!" he yells his voice booming through the building "What" I turn trying not to tumble down the stairs. He walks down from the top and stands one step in front of me "You can believe whatever you want I will not stop you but I care for your brother and you, I just want you to be safe" he says lowering his eyes away from mine.

How fucking dare he. He shows another girl off
In my face and then says he cares for me? While my brother is in the hospital with a gunshot wound and were not even fucking there.

I roll my eyes at him and walk out the door when I reach the bottom of the staircase Ignore any of Mason's attempts to get my attention and get in my car.

I want to drive away, I want to hug Julie and see my brother, I want this prick to leave me alone but I can't, I like him and he's my brother's best friend I can't just leave him so I wait.

He gets in my car and I drive off where both completely silent until we reach the hospital. " you should go if my brother is awake he will be pissed your here, especially with me" I walk away pissed but also a little sad I thought he could be mine "Im so sorry angel" he yells I stop in my tracks "thank you" turning to face him but he's already gone.
