Mafia - Mattia Polibio & Dolan Twins.

Chapter 1

LEA'S POV.

"Youre playing with fire adam" i said as i sat on his lap, making him giggle.
"So you're horny again i guess?" He said, putting his hands around my waist.
"Uhhum" i agree and go in for a kiss, while music is blasting, i can nearly hear anything. Adam is such a sweetheart, we've dated for 6 months now and still haven't done anything besides making out. I know he looks out for me but it's getting boring for me, even tho he's a hottie, he's not my type.
"Lea" i hear a bang on my door, shit it's my dad.
I get off from adam, turn the music off and open the door.
"Get ready it's time to leave" he said.
"Okay" i said and closed the door.
"I love how your dad likes to hang out with you so much" adam said.
"Yeah, we're pretty close as you know" i said, while taking off my hoodie and going inside my closet.
"So you're going for fishing?" Adam asked.
"Yeah" i lied like it meant nothing. Little does he know everything's for a reason. Not going to lie, im pretty nervous for this meeting. I've been getting ready for this my whole entire childhood. Now that im finally 18, i can join the gang and a family business.

Im in the car, sitting next to my dad, who is quiet as always.
"You know im having a party tonight" i reminded him, while sliding my hands down the dress im wearing, it's pretty tight.
"Yes, i remember, I'll stay with my partners and you can go back home by yourself." He said, turning the wheel.
"I'll kinda miss my teenage years" i said.
"You have to get rid of your friends as soon as possible, you know that dont you?" He looked over at me with his serious face. Of course i know, I've been trained to do my job and keep everything as a secret. It's been hard for me to live this double life, but now that im 18, it's my duty to choose what's more important.
We drive to this really nice restaurant, I've been here before, but me and rick (my dad) walk further, into darker room and there are two men waiting for us.
"Ricardo! Lea! felice di vederti!" A tall man jumps from his seat, greeting my dad with a hug.
"vecchio cane!" My dad hugs him back, laughing.
"You've grown so much bella" he hugs me too, im assuming he's Paolo Polibio, he lived most of his time in italy, and my dad told me so much about him.
"Iè così bello conoscerti finalmente" i say and smile, trying to unleash my little but worthy knowledge of Italian. The man smiles, showing his teeth.
"We waited for this for so long, and you're finally here Lea" the shorter black haired man walks up to me after shaking hands with my dad. Im assuming this is Sean Dolan. The intelligent man.
"Im glad it's finally time for me to be appart of something so special" i said and we all sat down.

An hour went by, they talked to me, tried to get to know me better, Paolo was a nice man, with a great old humour, Sean told me everything i needed to know.
"You know, im sure your dad told you what you're stepping in" he said.
"Yes, im fully aware" i said.
"Drug dealing, casinos and machinations is something that needs a clear mind, professionalism and experience. You'll be risking it all, since all of this is illegal." He said looking up and down at me. The funny thing is that, Paolo and Sean both have sons, and my dad is the only one who has a daughter and im the only girl who's going to be coming for the leaders crown. They will never let me do what i want, because they believe im weak. Well, I'll show them what being a woman is like.
"I will never let anyone or anything come for me or the gang, because it is my family and i will do anything in my power to keep this going. Nothing matters for me more than this." I said and my dad smiled.

It's 9pm. I got home 2 hours ago, Nana, Adam and Joey helped me to decorate the house. It's my last night feeling like a teenager and not carrying about anything. I know I'll miss this a lot, but i have to be strong, i have to let this go or else this will have it's consequences.
"Bitch, i cannot find my lip liner" Nana said, looking inside her bag. God i love when she screams like that.
"You probably left it in your hoodie, that you were wearing earlier" i told her.
"You're right" she said, pulled it out of her hoodie and looked in the mirror. I stared at her for a long time. She's wearing her short tight black dress, with her hair down and black Nike air forces. To be honest, I'll miss her the most. Even tho, she has no idea what im going to do, she was the one who'd always let me cry on her shoulder after I'd fail in something and my dad would yell at me.
She didn't know the real reason why i was fighting with my dad, but she'd always calm me down and give me the best advices that made me end up here. I wish i could've told her that I've been phisically and mentally training for all these years to get into the gang that makes drug deals, sells drugs, owns casinos, kills people and so much more. But she was someone that mattered a lot to me, that's why i had to lie to her and stay away from her.
I have to kill this part of me, the emotional girl, with friends, and unnecessary teenage drama. I have to be cold blooded and patient.
The misogynistic, confident and strict people are ahead of me, who'll do anything to bring me down.
How'd i know? My dad has been telling me that i have so many competitors, and all of them are men. But for now, i think im thinking too much and i need to stop making myself feel this way.
At 9:30pm a lot of people came at my house. A lot of students came from my school and i could recognise them. I danced with my friends and drank a lot. Nana and i sang karaoke 5 times and almost threw up on the stage.
I dragged adam in my bedroom, and made out with him until we got interrupted.
We got downstairs and everyone sang me happy birthday, Nana was holding a cake infront of me, with 18 candles.
"Make a wish whore" she told me, and i closed my eyes for a bit. I wish to achieve everything i want and to always keep my loved ones next to me, no matter how hard it'll be. I opened my eyes and blew the candles. Everyone cheered and music continued playing. I felt how heavy everything felt, from tomorrow i was going to Mexico, and i was leaving everything behind me. I felt sad, and grown up. It was unfair but i had to sacrifice my careless life for something much more serious.
I couldnt breath anymore, because there were too many people inside the house, i was too drunk and the music was too loud. So, i grabbed nanas hand and went into the backyard.

NANA'S POV.

I am moving my hips through the italian music playing in the background. Alcohol has taken over me and I can feel how dizzy am I getting each second. I bump into someone from the back and as I turn around I see Leas messed up face. Tension is immediately leaving my body and we both smile at each other. Her eyes seems pretty sad for some reason. It's her birthday  but despite that we both realise how miserable growing up can be.  We've talked about this before and I wasn't expecting her walking around with happy smile today. I must admit, whenever I drink every bad memory comes alive in my head and my mood changes from the best to the worst real quick. Now we were both staring into each others eyes and knew we needed to get away from this crowd right now and spend some " bff time " alone. She grabbed my sleeve and made me follow her outside.
   Garden was surprisingly empty, so we sat at the edge of her big pool. None of us wanted to talk, it felt weirdly awkward between us which wasn't normal at all. We've been each others soul mates since we're 12 and the fact that she was hesitating confessing something to me right now made me nervous. She was playing with her blonde hair and I managed to start conversation:
Me- remember when we were 14 and I liked Josh who was into blondes and you liked Derek who liked brunettes.
She shook his head while giggling
Lea- and we tried to dye our hair which turned out awful and we both cut it off.
Our loud laugh almost overwhelmed music.
Me - yeah there were many careless days which we didn't appreciate enough. Now, look at you you're a woman.
I put my hand on her shoulder and shook her body a little bit. Her smile immediately faded away, it was almost like she wanted to cry :
Lea - okay as hard as it is for me to say it ... I have to
I tensed up
Lea - I applied to my dream collage
Me - oh my god really? The one you wanted?
I hugged her tightly
Me - what ? Aren't you happy?
She looked down at her hands and finally spoke:
Lea - yes but its far ... far away from L.A
Me - oh...Is it in San Francisco or something?
Lea - I wish it was in San Francisco..
And that's when I realized why she was acting this way whole day.
Lea - New York ... Art Collage
My eyes widened. From when does she want to study there? I know her like my own self and her future plans never included Art.
Lea - I know, I know it sounds crazy.. you know I never really decided what I wanted to become. At this moment of my life I wanna try something new. Let's not forget about my dad too.
As soon as she mentioned her dad her voice cracked and started playing with her fingers faster. Rick was an artist but Lea never really showed interested in it untill now.
Me - so .. that means ?
I look at her with saddened eyes. She seemed sad too but tried to not focus on it, almost forcing herself to turn off emotions. That didn't look like her.
Lea - yes.. Nana im leaving
Me - that easily? You're leaving everything behind your back because of something you're not interested in?!
I was feeling anger taking over.
Lea - I said what I said Nana... you supposed to be happy for me, aren't you my best friend?
It was almost like she was purposely trying to start argument with me.
Me - my brain can't process this bullshit. I don't wanna fight with you before you go since you already decided everything. When are you leaving?
Lea - me and dad are packing tomorrow.
I gasped.
Her phone rang.
Lea - Yes dad? Yeah... no? Where is it? Okay.
She stood up and went inside of the house. I tried to secretly follow her. As soon as she made sure she was alone she made her way to Ricks bedroom, went inside and closed the door. I was hiding in the dark corner of the hall and couldn't hear what she was doing inside. After 2 minutes she left the room still making sure no one was watching her and went downstairs. I am not that type of person but being in debt was killing me. I entered my best friends dad's bedroom and tuned on the lights. He lived in Italy for a long time and you could tell it by his decorations and furniture. After looking around for couple minutes I noticed a drawer under the bed, which was little bit left open. I guess drunk Lea forgot to close it. I went down on my knees and opend it fully, not believing what my eyes were seeing.
There were 5 different types of gun in front of me. Why did Rick need all of these?
