Natalia's P.O.V
When I rolled over pain shot through my back. A scream came out but it was muffled by my pillow. Thoughts of yesterday came back. Oh great just what I need. Who were those guys anyway?
I get up from the bed still the pain in my back. I put on a big t-shirt so it's not clinging to me. I walk down the stairs and walked right into someone.
"Son of a bitch."I gasped when I landed on my back on the ground.
"Oh sorry."Someone said.
"Next time watch where you are going."I said getting up. I looked whoever it was up and down. It was a guy, one from last night. He was one of the younger ones, about fifteen or sixteen.
"What are you doing in here?"I asked crossing my arms over my chest. He looked scared and intimidated.
"Well...I'm...your charge. Me and one other are supposed to stay with you always. To see how you react and how you fight. Basically you are our babysitters. We go wherever you go."He said. What? This is not happening.
"FELIX!"I yell.
"He left. So what are we going to do today boss?"He asked.
"Well we are not doing anything. I'm going to the mall."I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"What about Andrew?"I asked. He pointed to the kitchen. When I took a step he followed. Great I have an all day shadow. I ignored him and went to the kitchen. I saw a lot of people in the kitchen. All of them in pajamas.
"What? Did you guys decide on a sleep over?"I asked stepping in front of Andrews line of vision.
"Sure."He said taking a sip of Monster, my Monster.
"YOU GUYS HAD ME FIGHT YESTERDAY! I HAD GLASS PLASTERED TO MY BACK! CRAZY BITCH IS EVIL! THEY SLEEP IN MY PARENTS HOUSE! AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF TWO TEENAGERS!" I yell in his face. "Do not get me wrong. I may be in extreme pain but I will kick your ass Andrew. I deserve answers."I said a little quieter. He looked at me and nodded. He walked telling me to follow him. I did.
We ended up in the library where Mina and Felicity were talking. When they saw me they hugged me but stopped when I gasped.
"Sorry. We are just glad to know that you are ok. We heard that red head is your boyfriends, son's mom." She said confused with those words.
"Yeah I'm fine. Now explain."I said looking at Andrew.
"They are part of the mafia. Last night was part of your initiation sorta. They are here because they need a place to live so they can do their business."He said.
"They can't live here. What did my parents say?"I asked.
"They were the ones who suggested it. Look you need to do this for your brother. He's part of this. Start being a grown up and deal with it. Whether you like it or not you are part of this. A big picture. You are the best fighter we have and we can't lose you. So what do you say?"He asked. He was right. I needed to grow up.
If it was for my brother then yes I would do it. Even though I dislike criminals I was pretty sure I was going to become one.
"Fine whatever, but I will only do this if you keep Jason and Justin out of harm's way. Oh, and if that bitch comes near them I will shoot her."I said walking out of the room. I had to protect them from this. I couldn't hurt both of them. I was going to keep this a secret from them.
I jumped in the shower finally feeling accepted in the world even though that world would be filled with men, guns, murder, and money. I got out dressing in a graphic tee and black tight legged jeans. I put on black and white vans. My hair was down as usual but straightened.
I walked out of my room with wallet in hand, cell phone front pocket. My sweater obscured my whole torso, and if I put my hood up no one could see my face. I put it up hoping to get out of the house unseen.
Too bad there were two big guys in front of me. Sneaking out is going to be harder than usual.
"Where are you going?"One of them asked.
"Outside, you know where the birds fly, cars drive, people walking in malls. The sun, ever heard of it? Didn't think so now if you'll excuse me I have a life to live. I have better things to do than stand at a door. What about you big boy got anything else better to do? No, aw so sad."I said. All they did was glare. They weren't moving.
"Is Felix here?"I asked. They nodded their heads. I went searching for him. I didn't have to go far he was in the living room with the guys. I burst out laughing.
"You do realize that this is such a cliché. Wow, bravado." I laughed while clapping. They all smiled at me.
"Yes Natalia."He said. There he was.
"Yeah I want to go out, but dumb and dumber aren't letting me by. What do we need a secret hand shake or something?"I joked. He glared at me.
"You can only leave with your charges, and a gun."He said.
"Good you know I was beginning to think that I wasn't a mobster, and then you go and say things like that. Way to go big bro."I joked again. If I didn't laugh I was going to cry. He was about to open his mouth and say something.
"Forget it, I understand that your work is more important. Whatever I'm going, and I'll take Thing one and Thing two." I said leaving. I went up to my room and got the Desert Eagle that I hid in my closet.
I went back to Felix and sat in an empty seat putting my legs up. Everyone stared at me.
"I'm waiting for my two charges."I said sliding down in my seat. Five minutes later they were at my side.
"Okay let's go. Love yeah my peeps. Peace."I said throwing them a peace sign and walking out of there. Being in the mob gave me a feeling of invincibility.
We were in my car and we were driving to Jason's house. I called him.
"Hey." He said when he answered.
"Hey, are you coming?"I asked. I looked up in his window and seen him there with a confused look to the guys in back of me.
"Sorry I can't I'm with Justin. Who are they?"He asked.
"That's a story for another day."I whispered. "This sucks."I said. He nodded his head in agreement.
"Well hey tonight we can have our date. Are you free tonight?"He asked.
"Yeah, what time?"I asked.
"At nine. Be ready, oh and wear something casual but dressy."He said.
"I'm going to the mall anyways I can pick up an out-fit. Well can't wait for our date. Love you, bye."I hung up the phone and drove away.
"Who was that?"The guy I previously met.
"Jason. What are your names?'I asked.
"My name is Preston and this is Angel."He said to the guy next to him.
"You talk Angel?"I asked. He didn't say anything. "Guess not."I said.
