Mafia Marriage

Chapter 11

Minutes passed but it felt like ages had gone by, I was thinking about everything he had told me, everything that had happened. How could things go wrong in such a short amount of time? I was just thinking about what the man had told me, he dated my sister, he was madly in love with her. Goals? I think not considering she betrayed him and that probably led to him murdering her as revenge. 

Maybe he was lying though, she could be alive and he just told me that to get in my head, who knows he was crazy, he murdered his brother in cold blood. He didn't give a fuck about family apparently. How was I to tell Mr. Daxus that his son was dead and had been killed by his own brother.  

I would cross that bridge when I got there I wouldn't, simply couldn't,  think about that now I had to do something, I was in danger. The only reason I was alive was because I looked like my sister. That twisted psycho wanted to have fun with me because I looked like her. I didn't know what he meant by fun but I could imagine and everything in my imagination was gruesome and terrifying when I thought about it. 

I looked like Violet but he was wrong if he thought I would act like her too. Our physical traits were the same, well except for a birthmark that she had on her back. I remember I used to tell her that she had a birthmark of a heart because she didn't have an actual heart. She would get mad at me, she could be mean though that's why I told her that as a joke. I liked to believe I was a kinder, a more compassionate person, but at the same time I could be a bitch when I wanted to and that was most of the time recently. 

Suddenly I thought of what he said, Violet was dead, my twin sister was dead. It didn't matter if she had been mean or nice she was my sister and she was gone just like my mother. Silent tears fell down the sides of my face, my father and I were the only ones left and he didn't care about me obviously. 

I was alone. I had felt lonely in the past but now I knew my mother and sister would never return. I was alone. 

I snapped out of my thoughts when I remembered that my fiancé or the one that was going to be my fiancé was dead on the other side of the car. I was thinking of what to do and decided to go and see in what state he was in, I didn't want his father to see his son in a horrible state. I wasn't trying to be superficial but I wouldn't want to see my child drenched in blood, that would leave me completely traumatized. 

Crawling in pain I went to the other side of the car and saw Nathan. No this wasn't some story were I saw him with his eyes open and alive. He was dead and I couldn't do anything about it. 

There was blood covering his clothes and scratches on his handsome face, his eyes were closed and the life in them could not be seen. 

I looked at his chest that was covered in blood and saw something, no it couldn't be this wasn't some story where the person is miraculously alive, it simply couldn't be. 

I got closer to his chest and saw it rising ever so slightly. I got even closer and could hear him struggling to breathe. It was a miracle, even if I didn't believe in them it was happening, but I needed to do something before he actually died. 

I was in shock "No, now is not the time to panic Jennifer.", I told myself.

I could not panic, not now at least. His life was in my hands but what could I do. I heard him struggling and I gasped in surprise he was conscious I could tell he was trying to speak but that made him struggle even more. 

"Nathan, I'm right here okay? You're alive just stop trying to speak you're making it worse. Just relax okay I know it's not easy but try. I'm here, it's Jennifer remember me", I tried reassuring him, and was trying to calm him down but I don't think I was successful at it. I had to say something he would listen to and just the right thing popped in my head. 

"Look I'm almost one hundred percent sure you're going to want revenge, you seem like that type of guy. No offense. To get revenge though you need to get better and if you wear yourself out it will be difficult for you. Just try to relax and when you get better we'll go and kick your brother's ass and get revenge for what he did to us. Well mostly to to you", when I said that it seemed to get his attention and he stopped struggling.

Watching him like this broke my heart, to see someone defeated like this was awful. I know I technically swore to hate him but that was in the heat of the moment. I was being just a bit dramatic, and besides I couldn't bring myself to hate him. Of course I don't love him though, I just met the guy for god's sakes. 

All of a sudden he started coughing and I went over and put his head on my lap.

"Phone", he said then had a fit of coughs. Yes we needed a phone obviously and I didn't have one. 

"Pocket", I heard in between coughs, yes he had a phone why hadn't I searched him?

I put his head on the ground while I slowly got up to get his phone, which was in his pocket like he had said. 

"Hold on okay I'm gonna call the cops, it'll be alright", I was about to dial when he said something between the line of no cops because he was a mafia boss. That made sense but still the police could get here very quickly and help but I guess that wasn't an option. 

When you're involved with the mafia things are very different, it's not like normal life and it's not glamorous like the movie make it out to be. 

"I'll call your father then", his dad is gonna blame me for everything I bet. I mean if I hadn't run away none of this would have happened, but I mean let's not think like that.

I dialed and waited until I heard a voice on the other "Nathan where the fuck are you? We've been waiting for you for hours". 

"Umm Mr. Daxus its Jennifer. . . We need help your son, umm I don't know his name, attacked Nathan and I. Nathan is extremely injured please I don't know where we are we were coming from the airport but we tried to get away from your son and we ended up in the countryside somewhere", damn I really didn't know anything about these people. Was I still supposed to get married after all of this anyways? I mean if I was scared before I was completely terrified now. Their own family was against them, I'm pretty sure the mafia was not safe. . No I'm not just realizing that now I'm not that dumb. I just didn't expect brothers to try to kill each other that is sick and tragic. 

"Okay, take care of Nathan don't let anything happen to my son, we'll find you both don't worry", as soon as he said that the line went dead. All that was left to do now was wait. I then looked at Nathan he had a little more color but not a lot, hopefully he would hold on until his father arrived. 

Suddenly an unbearable amount of pain came over me, I hadn't really felt it before because I hadn't paid attention to it but now I could feel it and it was worse than it had been. I felt like I was gonna faint but I wouldn't let that happen.

I've always hated girls in movies that are always weak and crying, well . . .that's not completely true I enjoyed reading stories or watching movies where the girl gets saved by the hot hero it's really romantic you know. She's the damsel in distress and he's her knight in shining armor. It's so romantic but sometimes a girl needs to be strong and be her own savior you know?

"We're gonna be okay, it's all gonna be alright", I reassured Nathan and myself, mostly myself. I had to think positively, besides I was lucky to alive.
