It All Started With One Stupid Mistake

Chapter 14: Love or Money??

Unknown POV

Often times we have to make decisions. Decisions that are rather very hard especially when you have to choose between two very important things or people. I left home for college, thought it would just be strictly work so that I can leave with honors and get a good job.
Boy, was I wrong, I got caught up in some shit, stuff that if I could go back in time, I would change. If you had told me a few years back that I would be making a decision this serious, I would laugh so hard in your face.
I'm a second in rank leader for an upcoming gang in the rough part of Bronx and I'm asked to kill the rivalry's second rank leader, who just happens to be my brother. I couldn't let them know we were related or else they'd send someone else to finish him, because they know I wouldn't. I can't let that happen, I have to protect him.  If he wasn't blood, I would send a bullet through his head without even thinking about it because the reward is 80k! How can someone possibly just turn down such an offer!!?!?

Why couldn't it be someone else!? Urghhh, how am I going to get out of this!!?

What makes this even harder is that he doesn't know I'm even in a gang. He thinks I'm the good son, going to college, pursing my dreams and making mom proud, while he's the dimwit. The truth is, I seem to really be the fault in this family.
I wanted to do just that when I got here, I'm referring to the whole being focused and pursue my dreams shit, but then these thugs kept harshly bouncing past me and giving me some weird looks, I tried ignoring it but then it got worst. Then one day, walking down the halls, one of the guys just jumped out of nowhere and started to beat the living crap out of me. This group of guys who I always saw walking around campus, their leader, pulled them off of me and threatened them with a gun. They ran off and didn't even mess with me after that. Tyrone, the leader of what I thought to be their little squad, is the gang leader of the gang I'm in and he recruited me and said that way I'll be one of them and be able to protect myself.
Since then, I've been rolling with them, selling drugs, beating up people and even killing our rivalries so that everyone will know who we are.
Sometimes I feel like I want out, but I know well enough, that's not an option.

But one thing for sure is, I'm not gonna put a bullet through my brother's head. I'll do anything else but that and I just hope I'll be allowed, another option.

Got a little free time on my hands so I thought I'd write chapter 14. Know y'all might still be upset so once again I apologize. That wasn't the best chapter but we can just call it a filler for all the drama that's about to happen.

With love,
