*15 year old Ashley's POV*
*2 years ago*
"I've had enough of this place I'm leaving!" I said to my dig as I leave the mansion doors "I'm sorry Diego but I can't take it any longer" I was always alone in the mansion. Diego,my dog was always with me, I take care of him and he keeps me company. I've been with him so long that it hurts to say goodbye to him, Diego barks at me begging not to leave. "Diego!" I grab him and throws him at the wall violently. In shock of what I've done I cry and quickly leave "I'm sorry,I'm sorry... I'm sorry" I climb over the big gate and run far away from the mansion as I can. I began to start walking as I get tired from running and sobbing, I wipe my tears to find out where I was and I was right in front of a place called "Cafe Story" I decided to enter and see the place better. I sit down so the sofa near the window and a waiter came to me, he handed me a menu full of delicious sweets. I took a good look at it for about a minute or so, the waiter asked me "anything I can get you miss?... a tissue perhaps? He added while getting out his handkerchief to wipe out my tears on my face "I... I'll just have a milkshake" he took it down in a piece of paper and pen and wrote it down and went away. I took a glance at the window beside me seeing a building so tall *BANG* I hear a faint gunfire but nobody seems to notice it "your milkshake ma'am" the guy came back with my order. I gave him a hundered bucks and ran to the building to the from where I heard the noise from. I ran to the side of the stairs, I ran as fast I could and when I reached the balcony I saw a guy with a mask but he didn't see me, it seemed he was busy talking to a man tied to a rope. I sneakily get behind him and I notice a pistol beside a dead person "just pull the trigger right?" I whispered to myself, I grabbed the pistol and points it at the masked man, he doesnt seem to be armed only a knife. With confidence and I shout "STOP! Or...or...I...I'll shoot!" I mutter as my heart raise to adrenaline rush, the masked man takes his mask off and kneels "kid you netter go, I'm just doing my job as a hitman" I tell him as I as my hand shake "why!? Why are you doing this?" He explains calmly "because it's my job its my buisness to kill people for money." He stands up and slowly walk up to me "hey kid how bout a deal? I'll do something for you and you dont shoot me, maybe you want me to stop a bully for you?" I start to tear down my face because of a terrible thought I had, I told him "I... I want you... to kill my parents." His face speechless "w-what!? No I- I can't do that" to his disagreement My face starts to be wet with the tears like waterfall. I drop the gun and go to the edge of the building and cover my face. He comes over to me "um... maybe there's a better deal you can think of?" I shake my head slowly. He gives me a hug "maybe you can think about it while we go for Ice cream" he pulls my hand away from the edge and tells me to follow him "I know a great Ice cream place you'll love, my name is Kevin by the way" he adds.
