Mafia Queen

Chapter 3- What happens now?

I limp to school because once my parents found out I had a black eye at school, they beat me and I couldn't walk. When I'm about 5 minutes from my house I call and ask Paris to take me to school. "Oh honey! Of course I will! I'll be there soon!" I slump onto the side of the road and wait. When she finally comes I grunt in pain as I stand. I slump into the car and I take a quick breath on accident. Tears dropped down my face because of how much pain I was in. She looks over at me sympathetically. "Please don't pity me!" I said desperately. "Can I see the damage?" I pull the side of my shirt up showing her a purple bruise I got from my mum kicking me. She looked disgusted in the bruise. "We are not going to school with you like that!" She demanded. "N-no! P-please! T- th- they w-will k-k-kill m-,e if th- they f-find out I haven't g- gone to s-school!" She takes a sharp turn taking me to her house. She helps me out of the car and takes me to her room. I lay on her bed as her mother calls the school that we won't come in. Her mum has been more of a mum to me than my mum has. She and Paris look after me all day then drop me off at home as school ended. We decided to not tell my parents I had the day off as they would beat me again. I get out of the car in pain and limp to the house. My mum and step dad aren't here yet but they'll be here soon. I do my chores then go to my room. Mother likes the saying be seen but not heard so I have to follow it to not get beat. I hear the door slam open and someone down stairs is smashing everything in their path. I hear a familiar mans voice who's swearing whilst swearing. Fear jolts my body as I hear him getting closer. I wanted to run, to jump out of the window, but I couldn't move. He bursts through the door and starts smashing everything in my room. "No, please stop, no!" I yell but he isn't listening. The last thing he went to smash was a present from my real dad. He died when I was younger. Everything was happy when I was younger. Mum didn't hit me and neither did dad. We were one big happy family. He was a police officer and got called to a dangerous job. He got caught in the middle of a shooting and died. My mum got depressed and drank every night for 3 years. She never left her room and I had to get a job to pay for the house. I brought food to her room and she'd beat on me saying his death was my fault. She made me feel useless. She finally met someone who made her get out of bed but he was abusive too. She didn't care about that and married him. I've been beat ever since my dad died when I was 12. Before my dad went to the job he gave me a present. It was a beautiful music box that played music from my favourite movie. He said I'll always be his princess before he kissed my head and left. That was the last time I saw him. My step father never actually broke it because before he could I jumped in front of it. His swing was so forceful I feel like I nearly died. I dropped to the ground in so much pain I felt like I couldn't move or breath. Everything I tried to do was painful. He kicked me in the ribs and yelled. "You're a stupid useless piece of shit!" He brought his bat up again to hit the music box but I gained all of the strength I possibly could and grabbed it off the table. I clutched it like it was the last part of me, that wasn't broken. Painful tears started to fall from my eyes as he left the room. I lay there for what felt like hours before I could finally stand. I can't live like this anymore! My mum and step dad beats me, my dad died and I'm on my own. I pack a bag with my music box, phone, purse, as many clothes as I could take, shoes and some money I took from the safe. We only had 5 thousand dollars in it but it was enough for the essentials. I climbed out my window and climb down a tree that was close enough to jump to. I took off as fast as I could. I nearly collapse in pain many times but I have to keep going. I run until I'm out of our mansions area then I walk. I never knew how to read bus time tables and I've never walked to Paris's house before so I guess I could just try to guess where Paris lives. I take a look at my phone and see that the time is around 1:00 in the morning. I must've been laying on the floor a lot longer than I thought. I walk for about 10 minutes until I've completely given up on even trying to find Paris's house.  I walk for another couple of minutes before I decide to just hide in an alley way... smart! I know, but I didn't know what else to do. I sit in the corner trying to make it completely impossible to see me and I close my eyes.
BANG BANG! I sit up straight away and I could feel that my jump was loud and big. Fear filled my body as I crawled out from behind the dumpster to see what had happened. As I look to see what it was I soon figure out that they were gunshots and there was a body lying, not even 1 meter away from me. My mouth dropped open and I froze in fear again. I snap back into reality and corner myself back to the same corner I was sleeping in. I could feel my breaths were heavy and shaking. I hear my fake nails shaking on the dumpster making a tapping noise. I was still shaking until I heard a footstep coming closer to me. Did that man rise from the dead or is someone going to kill me!? I look at the only opening to my corner in fear as a large man stands in front of me. I open my mouth to let out a scream but he was so quick to put his hand over my mouth. I don't breath because he could have something to send me to sleep on his hands. "Shh!" He said aggressively "if you want to live through the night you have to shut up and follow me! Now!" I do as he said and dodge the lifeless body on the ground. I'm still shaking and I knew this man was dangerous. I follow him into a very expensive car and we take off going way past the speed limit. I decided to keep my mouth shut or I might die. "Yes boss he's dead!" I look at him a worried look on my face "how the fuck was I supposed to know a girl would be hiding there!?" "She's with me now!" "What the fuck was I supposed to do with her?" "I had none on me!" I knew he was talking about something that would make me lose my memory. "What do I do with her?" "She doesn't deserve to die and you know that!" "Because I see something in her, she's sweet and broken at the same time, I can't kill her and you won't be able to either! She's has a pure and beautiful soul and I haven't even talked to her!" "I can see it in her eyes! You know boss she could do you good!" He said joking which reassured me that he did have some good in him. He starts laughing "yes boss!" "Yes I'll bring her to you!" He hangs up the phone and turns to me. "Look, about what you saw back there. That man was a dirty criminal and it is our job to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone again!" I smile "ohh so you're the police?" He laughs "not exactly! Look I'm not authorised to tell you anything, that is my bosses job. He doesn't trust very easily though so you can't expect him to tell you anything but I see more good in you than I have in my whole life, and I'm sure he'd think the same!" I smile again. "Thank you! You're very nice! Even if you did kill someone!" He laughs. "Ohh right, I'm sorry about being so aggressive before but I have never been in that type of situation before. Also I knew if I asked you nicely you would kindly tell me to go away then I would have had to pick you up or drug you or something so I did think the whole thing through even if I was rude!" I laugh at how he worded his apology but then said "don't worry about it! I totally get it!" He smiled. I liked him. He may have been rude to me before but he certainly wasn't now. He has good in him and I liked it. We finally arrived at our destination. I didn't pay a lot of attention to where we were going but now all the fear is swarming in. I looked at him and ask "what happens now?"

Guysss I completely forgot what the surprise was going to be! 🙄🤧 like I knew what it was based on but I forgot how I was going to lead into it so instead of a really cool chapter I wrote this!
