Worlds Collide

July 17th. Thats the day that started it all....

"LUCA HELP ME PUT THIS FUCKING BAG IN THE CAR"! Bella screamed in the driveway. A tall, tan,

dark haired man poked his head out the front door. "Christ, Bella! All of Staten Island can hear you"!

The man chuckled. He walked down the driveway and helped his little sister load her giant suitcase into her trunk.

Closing the trunk he looked at her with sad eyes. "You sure you wont stay"? he asked. Bella looked up at her big brother and punched his arm playfully.

"Aww, come on! You know you will enjoy the peace and quiet once i'm gone.' she said with a smirk as her father came out of the house, his arms open for a dramatic embrace while wailing jokingly... but very loudly.

Luca scoffed and Bella looked at her father "Daddy don't"! She whined. Her father squeezed her tightly "I cant believe my baby girl is leaving the nest." he bellowed.

She wiggled free of his grip and gave him a serious look. "It's not my fault i'm leaving". she snapped.

Her fathers face fell and his stare turned from tender to ice cold.

Luca just looked at the both of them silently knowing this was not a conversation he wanted to be a part of.

"Goodbye, Dad". she whispered and got into her car. She revvedup the engine and sped out of the driveway, not looking back.

She was leaving Staten Island for the first time in her life, leaving New York, leaving behind her family...her father, the leader of an organized crime family.
