A Thug's Only Love: Chapter 19

~Arlie P.O.V.~
~November 16th~

I woke up bright and early on the couch at my Mom's house. My muscles ached, especially my lower back.

I carefully rolled over on my side and saw Javier passed out on the couch. Just from what I could see, he looked like he may have been worse than me.

I reached over to the coffee table and checked my phone hoping for a text or missed call from Varo. I started to become worried that he may not have made it, since there were no messages from him.

Last night, Javier, Varo and I were doing a fairly simple job. There was another drug empire that was stealing from us; So we needed to take care of that real quick. Our plan was to just show up, shoot the place up, take the money, and split. Us 3 could handle it because the new drug empire was inexperienced.

This was the first time we were so wrong.

*Flash Back*

"You guys ready?" Varo asked as he tied his bandana around his nose and mouth.

"Yeah, lets shoot it up quick, get the money, and get the fuck out." Javier said.

"Okay, I'll go through the side door. It leads directly to the main room. Javier's gonna come with me too. Varo you take the back door." I said. We said a prayer- I know. Why the fuck do we say a prayer even though we're about to kill?

We never wanted to be in a damn gang. So we're blessing our asses that we come out alive and with little to no injuries.

-we double checked our guns and off we went.

I walked to the side with Javier right at my heels. I wasn't scared or nervous 'cause we've done this many other times. I kicked the door open and immediately opened fire. Everyone and anything in sight was shot up.

The thing that threw us off track was someone in the room set off a bomb.

"Javier someone set off a bomb!" I yelled as I heard the little faint beeping among the noise from crossfire.

"What!?"

"We gotta get out man!" We quickly put our guns down and ran to the back door where we thought Varo would be.

"Javier where the fuck Varo at?! We got to go now!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

"I don't know, did he go upstairs?!"

"We gotta get out, the building's about to fall!-" The bomb went off on the top story and we saw the walls starting to cave in.

"We can't leave Varo!-"

"We're gonna die if we stay in here! I bet he's outside anyways!" I grabbed Javier by his hood and ran out of the building.

*End Of Flash Back*

I'm guessing all the guys in that gang were either shot up or died when the bomb went off. We didn't see any more of 'em when we got outside the building.

I threw a pillow at Javier and he slowly got up.

"D'you hear from Varo?" Javier asked as he sat up and stretched with a big yawn.

"Nope. What about you?" He reached into his pocked and pulled his phone. I watched him squint his eyes as the brightness of the screen illuminated his face.
