West side story

The Death

Claria sat down and was thinking about the fighting between the two groups. She could not imagine if anyone died and how the other group would take it. Death was a big thing where she used to live and it was hard enough when it was someone they did not know. But she had gotten extremely close to many people over the small days they had lived there. She had hoped that the boys would all be safe and not do anything to serious. 

The shop

"Hey look Claira I can always close shop tonight I mean it won't be hard" Maria spoke out

"Um I don't know for now maybe, but don't get your hopes up please" Claria responded back

Claria started to fold the clothes like usual and behind her was Maria dancing around with different dresses for being about to see Tony in a mere hour.

"Maria stop dancing around and help me clean up the store or else you will have to close and explain to Bernardo why you are late to dinner, that's if they don't have another meeting tonight like they have a fight or something ahead of them" Claria ranted on.

"A fight no way they would do that, they can't do that not now. Bernardo wouldn't do that he's a good person" Maria spoke quickly 

" Maria our brother is unpredictable and highly an nut-head when someone insults or hurts him or his family. He lets his emotions control what he does before he even thinks about what could happen"  Claria spoke.

"Now hush little one if you want to close up so badly will let you just be careful coming home please" Claria spoke before Maria could get word out.

She grabbed her purse and went to leave the shop like always, placing a kiss on her head and leaving the keys in her hands and left out the door. Somehow that is exactly when Tony's head decided to pop through the back curtains of the shop.

Riff's P.o.v. ( bet you didn't see this coming)

I just can't stop thinking about her she is amazing and that kiss last night was amazing. When we were dancing together it was as if we were made to be. He could get over the fact that she would be willing to stick up for the group if Bernardo found them together. 

" Look Riff the rumble is tonight and we must be prepared we can't show them out weakness" said A-Rab.

"Look guys Tony is not even here right now and he's a big part in this a well" Riff spoke loudly.

Junkyard

Then they all decided to leave to the rumble without Tony with knives and determination to win a fight for the right to the hand of his love. Because he knew that Bernardo would never allow him to be with his sister otherwise. 

Once the got there foul words were exchanged and a plead of a fair fight that would happen only if Tony did not show up. 

Bernardo and One of Riff's best fighters would fight each other in the end not one but two lives would be lost.

As the fight was advancing Tony decided to get in the middle and try to stop the whole thing and that's when it all went tragic.

3rd P.O.V

Once Tony gotten to the middle the the fight and tried to stop it it only angered Bernardo more. Once they held back Tony, Riff decided he would fight instead to try and help the situation more. It was a knife fight now and it was violent with knives swinging everywhere. With Tony breaking though the wall of people he distracted Riff and sent the night into a horrible one. 

The knife went slicing into Riff's stomach and hit and important organ. The blood started to pour and there was no saving the damaged organ.  He knew it was the end and he would never see Claria again. The last thoughts that poured out were of him and Claria's kiss they shared and the dance they had shared. He gasped his last breath and was gone.

Bernardo giving the blow they killed him was devastated that he killed his twins first love, he knew they were in love and had actually seen the interaction between Claria and Riff the night before. Exchanging the kiss and the Jet that Maria fell in love with standing up for her. He saw the smile that poured onto her face when she was stood up for. And then he too felt the stabbing pain there in his stomach as well. A lot of things flashed though his head. How much he loved Claria and Maria. How he would never see Anita for that date night that he promised after this. Then the light faded from his eyes.

Tony was the one to end both of their lives. He was the one that distracted Riff and the one to kill Bernardo. The guilt flooding his mind of the new that he was going to have to deliver to the sisters. 

Little did he know how he had a death wish from Chino
