Chapter 4:
The Past

Seven Years Ago

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot him! Come on! We can't lose!" Alex screamed at me.

I just laughed and did as she said. I started pressing the 'X' button on the control a lot faster, shooting everything that came up on the screen. We were so close to winning, just a couple more enemies that we needed to get rid of.

"YES! HIGH SCORE BITCHES!"

"Alex! Language!"

"Sorry Mrs. Jiménez," Alex mumbled to my mother.

"I don't want you going around saying bad words. Men around here may use them all the time, but that doesn't mean you should. Are you listening also, Lucia? Because this goes for you too," my mom said coming to stand in front of us.

"Yes mom, I'm listening."

"Good."

"Hey, mom? Father wants to speak with you," my brother, Diego said, walking into the living room with Fernando.

Mother gave us one last glance before walking to my dad's office.

"How are my little sisters doing?" Diego said sitting down in between Alex and me.

"Great! Just beat the game!" Alex said, she had a crush on my brother. But he sees her as nothing more than a little sister.

"Again? Don't you guys play anything else?" Fernando asked me coming to sit next to me.

He is Alex's older brother, he's the same age as my brother. I do not have a crush on him, I mean sure he is cute but it would be gross to be into him like that.

"Well, there's no other game as interesting as that one," I mumbled to him.

"I'll show you both games better than that shit," he answered.

"Yeah, come on," my brother said changing the CD to another video game.

With that, we stayed up late, playing video games. Nothing could have been better. That was the last night I ever saw Alex and Fernando, the next morning their family were nowhere to be found. They had moved away, Alex left me here without telling me. My one and only friend had left me. I cried for days, weeks, even months for her, hoping she would return. I gave up a year later, on the same day, when my mother and brother died. Soon when I was older I found out why the Martinez family left, they had backstabbed my father and the Mafia. They were the ones to kill my mother and brother when I found out, all that sadness and heartbreak turned into hatred and anger. They brought me the worst pain in the world, they made me this cold-hearted person.

Present

I was brought out of my thoughts by anger, anger pointed at Alex and her family. I put even more pressure on her arms until I heard two snaps. She screamed out in pain, I got off her feeling satisfied with my work. She rolled over to her back, crying in pain, this brought a smile to my face but quickly covered it. I had shattered both of her arm bones, now her arms were twisted in odd angles. This isn't all the pain she's going to be receiving from me, there's a whole lot more coming.
