Their lies. Their love(Mikey Fusco love story)ONHOLD

Chap. 8

(Danielle's POV)

Jesus Alvarez.He stood there with his signature grin. With his brown hair in a quiff. His light Carmel eyes are now tired instead of happy. I just looked at him in shock while the rest of the guys were looking at the babies. I just didn't know what to say. I stared at him with disbelief. I didn't know what to do so I gave him a hug.

My childhood Best Friend. I haven't even thought of him. I thought he moved to Mexico when he was 6. No one talked of him or else I would break down. I had pictures of him in my attic when we were young. He use to be my partner in crime.

I finally came back into reality and let go. His smirk was now faded. He was happy.

"Wha-Wh-How are you here?" I asked him. I still can't believe he's here. He just stood there. "Long story short my parents have to work here so they brought me with them and I guess I'm going to live in the US after we leave Italy. "He said.

"THAT'S LITTLE JESUS?!??!?" Asked Nick, Mikey, and Damian asked. I nodded and Nick, Mikey, Damian, Madison, and Mauricio ran over to him and tackled him. When they got up they were asking questions.

"DUDE! What are you doing here?!"

"How are you here?!"

"How's life been?!"

"Where have you been?!"

"Shut up! You'll wake up the whole hospital!" I said. They all just grinned ear to ear and continued to talk more quietly.

Just then baby Jesus began to cry. You know babies. Once one baby cries, the other baby does too. I got up and walked over to them and picked up Jesus. "Mikey? Can you hold Hope for me?" I asked while rocking Jesus and he slowly began to drift into sleep.

Life couldn't get better...

~~~~~~4 months later~~~~~~~

I sat on the couch waiting for Mikey to come back from the kitchen to give me the bottle for Jesus. The baby one of course.

If your wondering about the others, they went back to the US for some "business." And lately things been getting a bit bad. Mikey of course tried to get out the gang but could never get out. Jesus is in the US with the guys and found my uncle near my old house in NJ. Madison get shot in his arm but he's in the hospital.

Damian and Mauricio are in Brazil to do more "business."

Mikey and I are staying at Nick with Nick of course. Of course he's still my over protective but were going to the US tomorrow. This time were going to California since VA isn't "safe" for us.

"Dani?! Hello?! I asked you do you want to start packing after you feed Jesus?" Mikey snapped me out of my thoughts. "Oh...uh...yeah." I mumbled.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he sat down. "Peachy." Then I heard Hope cry upstairs. "Can you go get Hope?" He nodded and left.

~~~~~~~after packing~~~~~

"We should get some sleep before the flight." Mikey said. I nodded and went into bed. I set my alarm on my iPhone 5s to 11:49pm.

"Go to sleep Mikey. Jesus and Hope are sleeping. Don't worry." I mumbled into my pillow.

"Your right." He said. I knew he wasn't going to sleep. He was going downstairs later to get the call from Damian. If your wondering how I know this its because I really over heard Nick and Mikey talking about 'the call' from the guys. I'm not so stupid as they think I am. Well I don't know if they think I'm stupid but I'm smarter than they think.

I sat here in bed wondering what it is back in New Jersey and Virginia. I remember the scene of walking on the pier and the beach with people tanning. Sure Virginia had Virginia beach but it was never the same. But when I was younger I remember my dad saying make your life worth living. Be grateful you still are alive to even have a good future. Love your loved ones but never cry when someone is gone. Crying doesn't bring someone back to life. That was a week before he died. Like he knew he was going to die, and he died for us.

For the rest of the time I was awake I was thinking of my very own kids. Jesus and Hope. My life. I will do anything to protect them. Anything. With that thought I fell asleep.

(Mikey's POV)

Honestly I can go to sleep. It's not that I don't want to. It's because I can't. Damian is going to call later and the stupid time difference had to keep me up. I can't believe I got caught up in all this crap. And I brought Danielle, Jesus, and Hope into this. I wont let them suffer because I was stupid. I will do anything for them. Anything.

Why couldn't I just stay out of the stupid gangs. I was stupid when I was young. And of course it came back and bite me on my butt. But why now? Life doesn't come easy. Just like my mom use to say when I was younger. I decided to go downstairs and get some coffee.

I got out of bed while Danielle stirred a bit. "I'll be back." I said and she just nodded and fell back to sleep. I knew she wasn't completely asleep by her breathing pattern. I decided to be as quiet as I can and get coffee.

When I got downstairs I saw Nick drinking coffee while watching TV. "Why are you up?" I asked Nick. "Jesus is calling me later." And he focused on the TV again. Wow. Either he's tired or he really likes this show.

"How about you?" He asked while still looking at the TV. Damn. I'm guessing a little bit of both. After a while I noticed I haven't answered.  "uh Damian is calling." I said and went into the kitchen and got come coffee. When I got my coffee I sat on the sofa and watched Rob Derdecks Fantasy Factory with Nick.

After an hour of watching TV my eyes lids were closing when my phone rang. I jumped a bit and cursed as I reached for the phone. I read the caller ID and saw Damian's name.

D(Damian)  M(Mikey)

M- "What took you long? I'm loosing sleep."

D- "someone didn't have their beauty sleep..' he mumbled.

M- "whatever. whats up?"

D-"its safe in Cali and when you get to the airport don't attract attention though.'

M-"that was it?! Fucking serious?"

D- "nope!'

M-"what else!!?'

D- "i love you!!!' he said and chuckled

M-"fucking serious? your lucky you're on the other side of the fucking world"

D-"dude. im playing.

M- ' no but seriously what do you want?"

D-"just careful' he said and the line went dead'

I pressed end and put the phone besides me and kept watching TV with Nick but of course Jesus called and he left outside to the porch. I sat there thinking about the  most random things when I drifted off to sleep.
