Chessa:Gunshots

Tessa's POV

I started to breathe heavily, and sprinted down the staircase. I needed to run, I can't be stuck in this life forever, I thought being the daughter was hard, imagine the girlfriend or wife. I sped up when I head Chance running after me but shut the bedroom door behind me, sprinting past my parent who were staring coldly into the Sutton's eyes. The all stood up in panic when they began to run after me I fumbled with the door and felt two arms pick me up from behind. Tears shed down my face, life is so unfair, I need to escapee this mafia stuff, fast.

I felt my self get carried up a set of stairs back to Chances room. I was set onto the bed where I looked through my blurred eyes to see Chance in front of me and daddy locking the door.

Daddy-"Tessa, do you know yet?"

Chance-"That's why she ran sir."

Daddy-"Well there is no way out of this, both families need protection and the only way to find that is though the unity of our... umm work. Tessa you will marry Chance and like it, or your future will be worse than imagined."

I choked back tears and Chance seemed frightened too.

My dad slammed the bedroom door and I heard silence echo through the mansion. It echoed like gunshots, but bolder.

Tessa-"How can you be okay with this?!"

Chance-"I'm not, in the only child so I do as asked..."

Tessa-"So if your dad wanted you to kill my daddy you would?"

Chance-"I wouldn't enjoy it, but yeah that's my job. I do the things that my father won't do and make the trades and stuff. "

His voice trailed off and he sat on my bed.

Tessa-"Well this sucks..."

Chance-"Yeah, just like what you be doing to my-"

I hit his chest and stopped his sentence. Marriage... that's so serious.and why me, not bea or Betty?

"Were not doing that" I tell Chance

He looks at me confused.

"God, it was just a joke, and why do you call your father "daddy" are you that kind of girl?"

"Shut up, and in my house your either loyal or dead so if you were me you would call him daddy too. After all, I'm not allowed to use guns, or do deals. Apparently I'm too valuable and if I were to be kidnapped there could be a huge ransom or something like that. So yes, I would like to live."

I heard the bedroom door click and revived a text on my phone.

Mother-"I hope you and Chance get to know each other, right now we are setting wedding plans! This is a huge step for the mafia and do your duty as a mafia women! You and Chance will not be allowed out until you are accepting this marriage. Good night..."

I dropped my phone to the ground causing it to crack.

"Tessa, what's wrong?"

"Oh screw you!"

"I wish you would..."

"Uhh can you just stop with the pick up lines and sex jokes for 10 seconds! I don't want to be a mafia women! I want out! "

"You think I want this?! No the only choice I got was which sister, and that was only out of three."

"Wait you picked me?! Why on earth are you trying to ruin my life?"

Chances phone started to buzz. And he picked it up, walking into the bathroom so I couldn't hear. A minute later he came out frantically searching around the room. He grabbed a wad of cadge and threw on a leather jacket.

"Can you hand me that pistol?"

"Daddy says I can't touch guns..."

"Well daddy's not here right now and I need it, just fine I'll get it myself."

He grabbed the gun and loaded it before glancing at the clock.

"If I'm not back in 20 call 911"

And with that he left out the window.
