Dulce

Chappy 8

Whoops. Turns out school was stressful but it helped me keep track of the days. Lol. Anyways i passed all my stressful tests and I'm starting college with 3 classes finished and done with. Here ya go.

"How could you be so stupid! They're literally trying to kill you! Your da-"

"He's not my dad" I say coldly, Teddy, or should i say Theodore is yelling at me, in the car after we drop off his kid, when I should be the one that's pissed off. He has a child, he knows I love babies. I stare out the window and think about what I did, it would be stupid if i wasn't a highly trained assassin.

"REGARDLESS of WHO you want to identify him as, Greg's out of jail, and we can only do so much to protect you, and if you leave the house, unprotected, we can't do anything" He's worried, I get it, it's been me and him for 3 years. Safe and together.

"I think someone is forgetting who I used to be, I'm fine Teddy, fine."

"EXACTLY! FINE, NOT SAFE, you hate killing Mace, and that's something that you can hide from everyone, except me. You might be a cold bitch to everyone, but to us, your family, not by blood, but by choice. We love you Mace and we don't want you to go back to how you were."

I sigh, he's right, "That doesn't mean I won't, Teddy I will do anything to make sure you can go home to your family, without that weight on your back, anything." I hold up my pinkie, and he looks at it and sighs and hooks his in mine, but not without making me a promise, one that scares the shit out of me, because I know he means it, with every part of him, "And I will do anything to keep you from going back to them, to him" I gulp, and try to keep the tears out of my eyes, I'm becoming an emotional bitch. Shit. Teddy laughs, "No matter how you evolve and develop, you'll always be our Mace.

We drive in silence for awhile and then turn to go downtown to eat. When, suddenly, the car in front of us, a, you guessed it , black SUV, slams on their breaks.

We get a radio, "Mace it seems someone wants to talk to you" I pull a handgun out of the glove box, and get out.

When I walk around the car, and see who it is, I'm pissed off, "CODY WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT"

"I want to tell you to be careful, Greg is out"

"I fucking know Cody, you don't run my life, you have no place to talk, you're almost worse than him" I see sadness fill his eyes, "Ma-"

"No, CODY THEY ABUSE KIDS, THEY ABUSED ME! You watched!" I'm sobbing out my words at this point

"Ma-" He chokes out. Looks like we're both crying.

"Cody, just leave me alone, I can't look at you knowing, that if we met in a fight, you would kill me." He looks down because he knows he would, he would kill his little sister, "If you can't leave, and you're actively choosing to partake in what they did, I have to actively choose to hate you. And as much as it kills me, I have to pretend that it doesn't" I turn around to leave, leave the only family I thought I had, the last connection to that horrible life I had, I feel lighter but also heavy. Something was going to happen and it was going to test everything that I had in me. But I felt ready, ready to fuck them over, exactly like they fucked me over. And then fix the root to all my problems. I take revenge slowly and sweetly. They don't call me Dulce for nothing, sweet like candy, but deadly in the long run.

an: i started writing this awhile ago, when i published the last one actually, and I worked all summer, but college is going well, so I have time to write now. I'm so happy when I write, so maybe i'll use this to distress, I'm sorry for the wait, but my friends inspire me every day to be a better me, so i'm excited for the future.
