Carmen sat in Xavier's house slowly eating her cereal.

She saw Ariel walk out the other room.

"I swear to God, Ariel if you don't." Xavier said covering his face.

"What?!" She screamed, "what are you gonna do? Slap me? Run to my husband? You're just a little boy don't you get that? Don't be dad! That's why he died!"

Xavier grabbed her face."shut up" he sneered

"Fuck you." She said pushing away from him. "Though you would be a better person."

Xavier muttered a curse under his breath. "Get up, let's go"

"I'm still eating." Carmen exclaimed

"Get the fuck up, and let's go!"  He shouted pounding the counter.

She jumped in her seat. She quickly grabbed her phone seeing 19 notifications.

Xavier grabbed her arm and dragged her out the house. He shoved her into the SUV. Carmen could feel her eyes water, she was beyond scared.

Garrett stood in Austin's old gym. It was up for sale. The bell over the door chimed. Garrett turned and watch as a fairly young guy in shorts and a hoodie walked in.

"Damn looks just like it used too, as it should. " The guy laughed.

"So you're buying it?" Dahlia pressed rocking the stroller.

"Hell, it'd be a shame to watch be turned into something its not." The guy said pulling his hair out his face.

"Grey, you are amazing." Dahlia smiled

"Shame I never heard Austin say that. He was  always my إلهام ('iilham)"

   [  inspiration= إلهام ]

Garrett smiled remembering all the time Austin told him how well he did. Garrett's hero thought he was amazing.

Garrett stood in the crowded circle. He heard the people muttering things like: 

What does this little think he's doing 

this is a stupid little kid 

who does he think he is. 

eh, give him a chance. 

Garrett smirked, no one knew what he had in him. The shout went. 

"look kid, I don't wanna hurtcha, but i need that money." he smirked cockily. 

"Look asshole, you ain't gonna hurt me, and i need that money more." Garrett shrugged.

The guy swing missing Garrett. Garrett grabbed the guys collar bone, digging his finger into it. The man cried out in pain. Garret kept his grip til the guy dropped to his knees.

"Give up?" Garrett asked.

The man didnt reply. Garrett punched the guys clavicle, there was an audible cracking sound. The man cried
"I give in."

Garrett smirked as all the cash was handed to him.
