Capítulo 5: Al borde del sufrimiento

George's POV

Last night was long for me, worst of all was that Leah discovered me, I don't want her to tell my parents anything, I want to do it myself but I have to wait a while, I don't want to say anything for now because I don't want to May my parents despair and send me away from here. This bargain will help me to be more protected, mainly towards the whites I hate so much.

I got up early, this time I would not go to school, because for the day I will be in a club with Zack. I'll trick Leah into thinking I'm going to school with her but when the doorbell rings I'll stay outside and go with Zack. It would be easy to fool my parents, because they are hardly ever at home, if they punish me for being late, I don't care, I have already taken charge of my life.

We left my house and got to the bus, I couldn't believe how I could resist shooting one of those targets, I didn't do it just because my sister and her friend were there.

We got to school and I did as planned, I saw that Leah was talking to Dana, the bell rang and I went with Zack on his motorboat, I told him to teach me how to guide her and he told me he would get me one . Seth and Leo were still going to school, but they told us that today would be their last day and that they would dedicate their entire lives to the bargain.

Leah'POV

I talked to Dana and the other girls like every morning. We got to take all the classes and it was time for recess. I was talking with my friends and we saw that behind the gates there was a group of white boys talking to each other. Their expensive cars were parked in front of the school as if it were a caravan.

_ "Let them go now, those whites scare me" said Dana in a low voice

_ "I hope that when we go out they are not there" I said

The bell rang for us to go out and the group of white men and teenagers was still in front of my school, apparently it was a bargain because they all dressed the same, most of them had gold or diamond teeth, some left their hair long up to a maximum shoulders and others left it short.

Fear entered my gut, I thought that maybe they would come to challenge my brother, but I didn't see my brother anywhere.

_ "I think we should go" said Dana

_ "Bye, I'm leaving" said Sasha

_ "I'm worried Dana, my brother hasn't arrived."

_ "If you want I'll go with you to your house."

_ "No, you have to go to your grandmother's house that is on the other street."

_ "Leah, don't stay here alone."

_ "My brother will come quickly, don't worry."

I started my trip to my house, I looked back and saw that those white people were still talking to each other, I could recognize the boy who hit my brother and many others. They were the same guys on the bus. The black haired boy looked at me with contempt from afar, I turned my gaze and kept walking.

As I walked I realized that there were a few steps behind me, I could see the shadow of his shoes, my breath shortened and a heartbreaking cold entered my bones, my heart began to pound when I felt something propel me, I tried to run as much as I could but the person was faster than me. I felt a blow to my head and when I woke up I saw that that white boy with black hair was kissing my lips fiercely.

_ "Hey, let her go!" Said a voice I didn't know

_ "Leave her alone" he said again

_ "Hahahaha, can't you see she's a black woman?"

_ "You are strange friend, I always noticed you strange."

_ "I told you to stay away from her!" the boy said, the bus boy left there.

I still couldn't see who had rescued me, I thought it might have been a friend of my brother, I saw that he kept his pistol in the pocket of his black pants and when I looked forward it was a white boy with freckles, blond hair and Blue eyes, he smiled at me and I saw that his third upper tooth from right to left was gold.

When I looked at him I lowered my head, to show myself submissive towards him, still my tears fell from my eyes.

_ "Thank you" I whispered

_ "Be careful when you pass by next time and ... never hang your head." She said raising her chin, she stared at me for a while.

I gave a half smile and left, I thought how strange that boy was, how he could save a black woman being attacked by a white boy, and he left the worst day of my life, I did not know what had happened to me then from the blow, I wondered if she was still pure.

I got home and ran to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and jumped into the shower with my clothes on to remove the smell of that horrible boy. I cried in the bathtub, but I did it in silence so as not to make a fuss and that my parents did not stress more than they were because of my brother. I did not say a word to anyone, I was devastated.

I locked myself in my room and cried until there were no tears left. At that moment I understood why my brother, even though he's younger than me, was very protective of me, but this time he hadn't done it.

George's POV

At the club it was when I smoked and drank for the first time, it was a bit strange but then I saw that I could handle it. The ones I knew who were in the bar were Zack, Greyson and Michael Lewis

_ "Tomorrow night we will continue with the business."

_ "If we sell it here we will bathe in money and buy better weapons, those targets will not resist with a VLAIR-500."

We kept chatting until a group of nightknives broke into the club.

_ "What do you want now?!"

_ "We come to find what belongs to us"

_ "... Or rather ... to play a little"

The Nightknives began firing into the air.

_ "This is war!" Zack said

We did a massacre in the entire club and we escaped.
