Alexander (Discontinued)

-6-

My body was quivering, the same voice that came in to my nightmares, that I tried so hard to get over was now standing right behind me, and with a gun. But I had changed, I wasn't that fourteen years old that he threatened to cut the tongue of anymore.

I turned around to glare at him, to let out all the anger that had built up inside of me for all these years, but the moment I turned around all the anger faded, I just gaped at what I saw. My head whirled and it felt like I was hallucinating, but I pinched my thigh hard and it was real, he was actually standing in front of me.

He stood there gaping at me too, probably looking at how his little girl had grown and nearly turned in to a woman. He was the same as he left, only that he now looked, thinner, a little less healthy. But the same ruffled black hair, his same everyday attire, the same beard.

It all brought tear to my eyes and took me back four years when I was a crying little brat. When I couldn't fight for myself, when I couldn't fight for my dad, when I let my whole world crumble down to nothing.

My head was hurting, I had no idea whether to run in to his arms, hug him and never let him leave again or to go up to him and slap him for the four pathetic years of my life, but most of all for driving mom insane because of your absence.

But I did neither of them, I just stood right where I was standing and I was thankful to Alexander to break the horrible silence.

"Well, well, well, what have I missed out guys? Enlighten me", He chuckled and looked straight at me, his eyes flickered for a second before he looked away the limping man behind me, who was now being treated by Olivia.

"And you Todd, should have thought better than sending a threat to Justin. I thought that you guys at least had brains", he snarled, "Justin is the part of our family, and that means Evelyn is a part of our family too. What did you think? That we have Justin locked up in a cage in a mafia and he was helpless when he received your message. Well you thought wrong, you pathetic men"

"We all have a free will in this mafia, as to what to do with our lives, we make our own decisions unless we plan to attempt to disobey the family" And his eyes turned to my father for a second before returning to the man named Todd. "But still, we do everything to keep the families of the mafia out of this shit and to protect them"

There was silence in the room, from all that he had said I realized only one thing that my father had disobeyed the mafia and he suffered because of it, as well as his family suffered, but actually he himself chose to make his family suffer, so I couldn't give less shit about it.

And then the entire room went in to frenzy, I had no idea what was happening, everyone moved so fats, one second I was standing in the middle of the room, and the other I was pressed against the wall with the barrel of a gun pressed against the back of my head.

My front was thrown harshly against the wall, making my face hit the wall hard, I heard a crack and pain resonated through my face. I cried out, and try to fight against the strong arms that held me against the hard wall.

I turned my head enough to get a glimpse of rest of the room, and realized that my captive was Todd, I had no idea how he had managed to stand on his leg. But what truly caught my attention was my mother held captive with a gun on her temple by the brunette guy, and behind the brunette guy, was my dad holding a gun against the back of his head. Alexander was nowhere in sight.

And then his chuckle resonated throughout the room, that's when I realized he too was standing behind Todd, holding a gun against his head.

We were all standing in a conundrum, it was comical but my thoughts were nowhere close to the humor with a gun pressed against my head.

And then the frenzy came again, this time with a mixture of chaos and loss, lots of loss. Todd was fast enough to remove the gun from my head, I had barely heaved out a sigh of relief when he directly shot my father, aiming straight for the heart, he was clever enough to get rid of that nuisance. Dad's body fell to the floor with a thud, blood squirting out of his wound. I nearly vomited at the sight, tears barricading my eyes from a clear view.

Alexander was faster enough to reply by shooting the brunette man, he fell to the floor right beside my father.

My mind was working too slow to do something, the barrel of Todd's gun was again pressed roughly against my scalp. I thought about kicking him where the sun doesn't shine, but that would get me killed quickly.

And my thoughts about death were obstructed when Todd was pulled off my body harshly, he fell to the floor with a harsh thump. And alexander was quick to get on top of him and start punching his face, I couldn't stand the sight. So I ran straight for her mother who now had her eyes closed tightly, her body quivering. She was already in too much shock, and even I couldn't handle what happened today well enough, how she could do it.

I hugged my mother, pressing my head against her neck, as I cried beacsue of dad, the loss, the pain, the fear, the agony and because of everything that had happened tonight.

And I didn't notice we were falling, until Mothers body gave put and she fell to floor, me falling on top of her. She wasn't breathing and her eyes were widening, her hand clawing at my arm as if she was struggling to breath.

And then I screamed the single word that came to my mind at that time that could help me with this.

"Alexander"
