In love with a criminal

Lies, lies, and lies

Still on the drive.

"You know." He began to say, but immediately stopped.

"What? Do I know what?" I asked softly.

"Do you really wanna hear this?" He asked quickly. "I think not. You'll get mad."

"Joey, you sound like a fucking teenage boy who's trying to tell his girlfriend something." I rolled my eyes. "Tell me."

His eyes widened. "What?" He laughed.

"Dont change the subject!" I laughed sarcastically.

"So, my lung cancer." He bit his lip and released it from his teeth slowly.

"Yeah."

"I faked it." He laughed as if it were funny.

"What?!" I screamed making him jump a little.

"I had to. For your-" he began to spill more lies.

"Shove that lie up your ass along with all the other ones you've told me!" I buried my face into the window.

"You wouldn't understand." He put his hand on my upper thigh and began to stroke my thigh up and down.

"I don't! You know how much people die of this disease! And you wanna joke about it! What about the vomiting? The doctor? What the fuck?!" I cried.

"I didn't joke about this. Never in my entire life would I joke about something that took my sister away from us."

"Then why did you do it, huh?" I asked wanting to hit him so badly.

"Because when my sister was diagnosed with it.. Well. You see the Chinese mob was after us. We stole their weapons that costed big dollars. And at the time my baby sister was getting sick and sick. My father was bound to pay the mob back, but he couldn't because all his money and his were on little Stella. So he asked for more time. The Chinese refused until he explained about Stella. They didn't feel sympathy, but they gave us more time or else we'd all be threatened and that was a promise." He choked up a bit. "All the things I did and lied about was for you."

"Who did you lie to for me?" I crossed my arms.

"Your dad sure does have a lot of enemies. You're their biggest revenge plan especially." He pursed his lips.

"So, that's why you took me?" I questioned.

"Yes, and that's why I lied for you. So before you give me your shit for lying I don't wanna hear it. Because I'll leave you in the middle of nowhere and call up all your dad's enemies and let them slit your throat. And if your dad gives me his shit I'll cut his too. Capisce?" He looked straight ahead.

"Fuck you. Do it then." I looked over at him.

"Dont test me baby."

"Just did. And you ain't doing shit about it. Was that another lie you were telling?" I laughed sarcastically.

"Wanna die, huh?" He pulled over the car.

"What kind of question is that?"

"The kind that gets you killed." His eyes lit up like a match.

"But you won't do it." I said once again. "And if you didn't want my dad's bullshit why didn't you kill him in the first place? If you didn't care for what he says or if he was dead then why did you lie and why am I still with you?"

"You really wanna know?" He looked me in the eyes.

"Yeah."

"Your father is the head boss of this mafia. Even above my father." He was still looking me in the eyes.
