My so called easy life

Before now

(Above is actually a pic of part of my class after a blueberry picking trip)

🔥🏀Antoinette's POV🏀🔥

"Bye Weirdo. See you tomorrow." I say and give Blake a hug on my porch.

"Happy birthday Bitch." He says and let's go. We both laugh a little at our inside joke as he walks away.

"Come on Aiden. We need to talk." I say pulling Aiden up to our room from the walkway after we slip our shoes off.

"Can we change first? If the talk is as serious as you made it sound... I want to be comfortable."

I only not and we both go to our dressers.

I just grab my volleyball shorts and a black shirt that has a picture of Hollywood Undead in their masks from the album 'Swan Songs'. I quickly change and walk over to my bed and wait for Aiden who is by his bed on his phone in black Nike shorts.

He walks over and sits on my bed, "Whats up sis?" He looks me right in the eye, and for the first time since Kelly, I see a little bit of happy in them. Then I realize, he's only blocking everything else... And so am I.

I can't help the smile that makes it way to my face, even tho I know it will disappear as soon as he knows.

"Dads coming back." I say and all of a sudden, Aiden's eyes darken as he clenches his fist.

"Since you wouldn't listen years ago, can you let me explain why he left? Please?" I beg and his eyes soften when he realizes I'm actually happy about this.

"Fine. Doesn't mean I'll be fine with it." He sighs and gets comfortable and looks me in the eyes as I start to explain and space out.

"When he left he told me something that makes me wonder to this day. He left to protect us. And before you scoff and interrupt me. I want you to listen to the full explanation. With out interrupting me... He's the leader of a gang. Their enemy found out about his family. They threatened us. All those kids we grew up with. Corbin... Isaiah... Riley... All of them. The ones we loved and love and still talk to... They were all in it. Youngest ones were Sam, Lily, Israia, and... And Kico. That's how Kico... That's why Kico -that's why he- died." I paused at the mention of Kico. He was my boyfriend from 12 when I was aloud to date. Till that day he died, October 6, 2013. We grew up together. We loved each other. Everyone said we didn't know what it was... But we felt it. And knew it. I thought about him for a minute and could feel the tears in my eyes. I still loved him. And he is the reason I'm scared to like Blake... Or anyone.

"Anyways... Dad was the leader. He had to leave. He and the gang left. That's where everyone went. Mom kicked Charlie out today. And he's coming back. Along with everyone else... Aiden. They're all coming back." I said and smiled so big it kinda hurt.

After Aiden thought for a minute, he smiled... A real smile. One where you could see his dimples and the happy glint in his eyes.

I lunged forward and hugged him to where the both of us could barely breath.

"So.. Sam... Lily? Wait! Lily's coming back!?" He let go and jumped around doing fist pumps. Him and Lily were close and so were Sam and I. Sam and Lily are twins.

"When?" He asked and stopped immediately to turn and look at me.

I suddenly realized I didn't know when. My eyes widened and I jumped up as Aiden and I raced to the door and ran out to look for Martha.

"Mom!?!" Aiden and I shouted and it felt good to finally call her mom... I needed that after so long. I smiled even bigger if possible.

"What?" She came out of the kitchen smiling wide. I knew it was because we called her mom. It's been 3 years.

"WHEN?!" Aiden and I asked beyond excited.

"It's a surprise..." She said and smirked mischievously.

"Ugh!!!" We both groaned and turned to walk upstairs.

"Let's go to sleep. I have a feeling we have a surprise after ball tomorrow." I said to Aiden when we got to our room. He nodded as we went to check on the other kids.

I walk into Adams room and see him changing out of the cloths from Sweets and Stuff.

"Hey, I'm gonna sleep. Did mom tell you?" I ask walking over. He turns and I see a bruise on his eyes and hand marks on his neck.

"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?! AND WHOS ASS IS DYING TONIGHT?!" I shout walking over suddenly I don't have a single tired bone in my body and feel adrenaline rush through me.

"I'm fine Ari. Don't worry about. Yes mom told me." He says and takes his shirt off and I only get even more mad-if possible- when I see bruises on his stomach and rib cage. Then growl when I see a gash from his right shoulder, all the way across to the bottom of the left of his chest.

"IF YOU DON'T TELL ME WHO I WILL BEAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONTACT TO YOU OR ANYONE IN THIS FUCKING FAMILY!!! SPILL! NOW!!!" I say walking over and hear the door open behind me and hear my mom gasp and Aiden growl.

"MOM DOWNSTAIRS! NOW!!!" Aiden booms.

"Ok." My mom sniffles and walks out.

"Who the fuck did this Adam?" Aiden asks walking over. 

"Raider and his dumb fucks." Adam growls out under his breath knowing it will only get worse if we have to force it out of him.

I clench my first and turn to beat the fuck out of his punching bag. I hear a crack and stop because I know it's about to bust open.

"Where?" I ask turning back not feeling a single thing in my hands and still have enough adrenaline to last me 4 years.

Raider, is the leader of duck creek gang. He is Aiden and my age and has been after my family since my dad left. My mom doesn't have a single clue what has been going on since dad left and I'm keeping it like that till I'm part of dads gang.

"It doesn't matter. Their not there." He says and moves to take down the punching bag, he seems strangely calm.

"I SAID WHERE, ADAM?!" I yell and I'm shocked that Bryce hasn't come in yet.

"In front of that little coffee shop across from Sweets and stuff." He says and brings a new punching bag from his closet. He puts it up and moves out of the way already knowing Aiden will beat the shit out of that one.

"Let's go. Bryce!" Aiden says and shouts for Bryce.

"Yea?" Bryce walks in and I see him wince when he sees Adams condition.

"Clean him up. We need to go somewhere. If mom asks tell her we went to go check on auntie and Nana." Aiden says trying to say calm.

"K. Love you guys. Kaiden is asleep. Be careful please?" Bryce says and I can see the fear in his eyes since he most likely knows what's going on.

"Love you too. We'll try our bests, okay?" Aiden and I hug Bryce quick and go to get dark cloths on so mom doesn't see the blood.

I change into black joggers and a plain black hoodie. Same with Aiden then we leave to the duck creek gang house. After a few calls.
