Ethan Pov

I gotta get to Jaz. I don't know what to do where to start. I need to stop pacing back and forth real talk. I walk when the cost is clear to see carmen's fave slightly brushed. She is crying on the floor helplessly. I heard Marilyn cry when I walked towards her.

"No I am ok check on her. She's more important." .I look at her unsure but she nods in reassurance.

Marilyn is just hungry I think. So I made her a bottle. After her bottle she did not want to be out down so I held her in the rocking chair for a while.

"She likes you." Carmen said st the door way.

"Ya I guess so, did u need help?"

"No I am fine this kind of thing happens alot. He come here every now and then. And hits me gets drunk. I want to leave but I can't not yet anyway." She avoided eye contact as she looked away.

"What do you mean by that exactly." I said trying not to come off too over barring.

"Well I have money saved up from working and I am gonna flee the country." My  I am completely shocked.

"You just told Jasmine you can't leave because your so afraid to but you plan to flee. How is that gonna work Carmen."

"I had to say that I was never gonna leave. She would want to come, I can't risk it you saw what happened. He'll chase us for her like dad will for our siblings. Look I am not as important to him or dad so I can fly under the radar."

"I can't believe what your saying you really want to leave all of us behind?" I feel hurt and abandoned all at the same time like girl your my TWIN.

"Look I am gonna say this one last time I have a daughter. She won't and can not have the same fate as me. All these gang wars and fueds. There very thing we grew up on is her fate. I can't let that happen and won't." Her eyes began to water and soon she began to speak. " Ethan you can come with us leave behind averting and escape."

"I can't just leave what about our brother's and sister's. They are just kids they don't want our fate. What the hell is wrong with you where would theoretically be our destination?" Does she even have a plan?

"I thought about going to Spain and England. I want to get as far away as possible I have been learning languages so that I can be prepared. I have mines and her passports. All I need in five thousand more and I will be all set. No one will know. Ethan if you go Jasmine stays she can't come or know where we going. She's trouble." I can't beleive she would possibly think Jaz was gonna rat us out.

"Jasmine is not a rat ok? She is loyal, she wanted you to leave with she was not gonna leave behind because of collateral damage." I took a long pause to gather my thoughts. "Trouble I l-love her ok? She came into my life turned my world upside down changed the way my heart beated it's rhythm. I found a new meaning."

"Ethan she has blinded you look what her family does to people they seek out the weak and feed on their prey. They are lions they hunt." She started to fold clothes on top of the bed. " Get your head on right dude she no good."

"Carmen I love you my sister my twin. Your so wrong here though. She is not like that." I got up and sat on the bed after putting Marilyn in the crib.

"Ethan she is the daughter of a gang leader he'll kill you. And trust me there's no escape absolutely none. When he has you she won't be able to stop what s gonna happen next."
