Puppy Love (Sequel to Mi Vida Loca)

Nina's Plight

I know I said I'd post yesterday, but oh well School happened.

-Eli-

     Why the fuck did I do that? Hours had passed since I shot Ernesto in the head and ran out his house after grabbing everything important. Where the fuck am I going to go? What the fuck am I going to do? I'm 8 months pregnant and I just murdered my "baby daddy." His gang is going to be looking for me and mi familia at any moment now, and I can't do much to protect them. I mean fuck it. It's not like I give a fuck about the baby...but I do value MY life and what is this going to do besides slow me down?

I decided the best thing I could do at this point is get to my parents house and warn them at least. In the back of my head, I knew hey deserved to face whatever Ernesto's clique had coming for them considering my parents are the one who arranged this accident waiting to happen in the first place. They should've known better. They should've known I'd kill his ass eventually. Why didn't they stop this? Why did I do this? Why can't I stop my mind from racing? Did I just sign mi familia's death certificate?

-Nina-

"Wait.....slow down....she did what to who?"

     I mentally cursed myself for letting Eli leave my sight the other night. I should've known something would pop off between her and that dickhead eventually. Now my loyalties are once again being tested.

"I said she killed Ernesto foo. Aren't you fucking listening?"

Kreeper ran his hand exasperatedly over his bald head and clutched at his glock, tucked securely in the waist band of his perfectly creased Dickies.

"And YOU, and Myka, and all your other little compadres are going to come handle business. Ernesto was like my brother. I know you love her and all, but that little bitch and her family have to go."

I slowly backed up, until the back of my knees touched my disheveled bed, and I simply dropped down onto it's inviting surface. Why is my head spinning? I get sick of this gang shit sometimes, you know? All these complicated loyalties and allies. Even though I belonged to the Latin Kings, my particular clique is allied with one particular MS13 clique. Out of all groups to be associated with....it had to be Ernesto's. What the fuck am I going to do? I've always been friendly with other gangs, but my people always came first. Now I'm in love with my enemy, and the line between who's important and who isn't is dangerously blurred. Do I turn my back on my people....or do I stand by their side; Even if that means killing the love of my life?

"I hope you've made your mind up Homie, cause we're on our way to their crib now. I was sent here to get you. Your folks are almost there already."

At those words my stomach damn near fell out my ass. This is all the time I've been spared to make this decision? I knew my parents were at a meeting with my gang, but they must have put it on hold to carry this out. Myka....IM not sure where that dickhead is. She's been MIA off and on since she ran up on some new pussy. I wonder if she's with my parents now? Is she going to help them kill Eli?

"Um.....I need to clear my head first. I think I'm going to ride there by myself."

     He looked at me skeptically, before slowly nodding his head.

"Don't worry Vato, I'll be there. You know I'm down for whatever. If there's one. I take seriously, it's my word and my loyalty.
