Gang leader Vs. Gang leader

Xander

As I laid my head on Aria's lap and stared at the ceiling everything seemed to fall into place, perfectly. I don't know what happened but lately, it's like I see her in a new light. Fuck, I even stopped sleeping with Chloe. Aria's not some bitch preventing me from owning everything, but a bitch that's making me see everything differently... I didn't mean it that way, she not a bitch, not really anyway. I've never really told anyone about my brother, it's one of those things were no matter what you just don't want it to be brought up. But once she asked it's like everything just began spilling out. Once I said it-- it was like a weight lifted. Like this entire time I had something eating me up and now it's gone. She made me calm yet anxious at the same time. Do you understand what I mean? Did this make sense? Probably not... I'm not even making sense to myself.

"I think I-" BANG. I don't have time to finish my sentence before we here a loud noise. Aria and I both jump up and I stare up the stairs. They're here, her gang's here, Aria might actually leave now. I run up stairs hearing another bang and run out to the living room opening the closet grabbing a gun, ammo, and a few knives. I run outside and I see the fighting begin, my men against Aria's. An ongoing war. I forgot about it whenever I was talking to Aria, I forgot that we were suppose to be enemies. I walk forward and grab one of Aria's random men and pull my knife out gripping his shirt then stabbing the knife straight into his neck. I pull it out and watch him drop to the floor bleeding out. I turn my head and see Aria step out. My eyes soften at the sight of her, she seems so skinny, beaten up, and warned down, it breaks my heart.

I walk over to her and grab her wrist pulling her over to where no one is around. This is it. The moment I can let her go or the moment where I can keep her, where she can just be mine. As I hear more and more gunshots I stare in her eyes and sigh softly, I have to let her go. I can't be selfish and keep her. I wrap my arms around her for a second tighter than ever before, I just want her here for a few seconds longer; I then let go.

"RUN." I yell as I let her go but she just stares at me blankly and I shove her forward screaming again. "RUN." She seems to finally understand and begins running towards the cars in which her gang came in. I look around and see Zach his face red with anger as he watches Aria run away. He begins pulling out his gun and then anger washes over me.

"ARIA" I scream and she turns around just as Zach raises his gun pulling the trigger, being shocked by me screaming causes the bullet to go straight into Aria's stomach. The world begins slowing down as I watch Aria place her hand over her stomach glance at me then fall to the ground, bleeding out. Many people begin to surround Aria and I see Max lift her up into the car getting in quickly, having a girl stay in the back with Aria and driving away as fast as possible.

I stare at Zach as he has a satisfied smirk on his face and I run over to him punching him in the face as hard as I can. The rest of Aria's gang is gone, they all need to be with her now, now that she might be gone forever.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Zach yells as he's on the ground a steady stream of blood dripping down his nose.

"I never gave the command to kill her, or shoot her. You went against me and did a fucking bullshit act. I want you gone. Now." I kneel down gripping his shirt and begin punching him more and more, harder each time. "If you don't, you will never breathe without it hurting. Am I fucking clear?" I stop when his face is covered in blood and his eyes are so swollen he can barely open them. He nods his head as I let him go and he scrambles up running away as fasts as he can. I step on the sidewalk pulling my gun out as I watch him run away and point it at him. I pull the trigger putting a bullet through his shoulder, then one down at his thigh. He screams in pain and stumbles forward still trying to get away. One last bullet, just one more, I aim the barrel of the gun towards his head and am about to pull the trigger when I feel a hand on my shoulder and I look to see Josh shaking his head. I put my gun down and take a deep breath trying to calm myself. I watch as everyone goes back inside or to their post but I stay in the same place staring at the spot where I believe Aria's blood is.

Right before this happened, I was going to say that I think I was starting to like her. And I'm going fucking insane over it. It's like out of nowhere this hit me like damn truck. I wanted to that our crazy screwed up situation may not be so bad after all because I think I'm falling for her. Falling for my enemy, never thought I'd say that. She can't die, I won't let her.  I need to see her, I need to be by her side. God I sound so fucking mental, I make it seem like she's my entire world. Maybe she is... It damn sure is starting to feel and sound that way. I'm so fucking bipolar, I give up.

"Don't you dare fucking die, Aria." I mumble to myself as I pull my keys out of my pocket, run to my car and get in. I turn the car on and begin driving at full speed towards her house.

"If you die I swear to fucking god, I'll murder you myself."
