When I woke up today, I immediately got out of bed and took a shower before getting dress, I'm not going anywhere but I'm just so happy that everything is back to normal, I had ate breakfast with Cesar and Oscar, but Cesar had left for school and Oscar invited some of the guys over for some type of meeting

It's now the afternoon and I just finished the laundry and now I'm sitting on the couch petting coco. Waiting for Oscar when there was a knock at the door, I stood up and walked over to the door before opening it. it revealed James

Things immediately got awkward as we stared at each other for 5 seconds, "what are you doing here?" I asked, " I um— I left my jacket here" he says, I opened the door wider to let him inside, he walked passed me as I turn and my eyes followed as he picked a grey jacket sat in a foldable chair, he walked back towards me and we stood in silence for another 5 seconds before he spoke up again "oh um— i got some papers for you to sign" he says giving me the stapled stack of papers in his hand

I take papers "for what?" I asked while looking at the papers, "so I won't be your mentor anymore—" he says, I look up at him "oh" I say taking the pen from him

"—you'll be reassigned to someone else— most likely a female" he says as I signed my name before giving him the paper and pen back, he walked towards the door and left out the house

I rushed out the door behind him, he was halfway to his car. "James" I called him making him stop and turn to me, I walked down the porch steps before walking up to him "goodbye" I say

"goodbye josephine" he says giving me a small smile before turning back around and walking to his car, I watched as he started his car and drove away from me. I sighed as I watched the neighborhood to short time before turning around to go back inside when I see Tito standing behind me

I was gonna ignore him and walk pass him, but he purposely stood in front of me, and he let me pass. "Tito— let me by" I say

"not until you tell Oscar the truth" he says

"Tito— I don't know what you're talking about" I say shaking my head

"don't play stupid now!" he says

"I'm not— I legit don't know what your talking about" I repeat myself, "Oscar gonna find out— it's either your gonna tell him or me" he says

"Great! I'll tell him!" I say sarcastically just so I could walk pass him, but he still don't let me, "I'm not gullible" he says with a straight face

"Is everything okay here?" Mateo asked, as he stood on the porch looking at us, Tito turned around to look at Mateo, "yeah" he says, before turning his attention back to me

"Jo— are you okay?" Mateo asked me, "he's not me letting by" I say truthfully

"Tito— get out of her way" Mateo says going down the steps, "not until everybody knows the truth about her!" Tito says as Mateo gets in his face, "I said! Get out of her way!" Mateo says

"Make me." Tito says with no hesitation Mateo pushes Tito and Tito pushes me him and it turned into fight very quickly, "Hey! No! Stop!" I say but they didn't listen to me

"Guys! Stop!— OSCAR!" I say as Mateo started punching Tito in the face, "oh my god!" I say as Tito's face became bloody.

"OSCAR!" I yelled louder as some of the guys come from the backyard followed by Oscar and they immediately pulled them apart from each other, " Hey! That's Enough! I said that's enough!" Oscar says pushing them apart

"Now! What the hell is going on?!" Oscar asked, "he was— he was bothering jo" Mateo says out of breath, Oscar looked at Tito "I thought I told you to keep away from her!" Oscar says

"venga! spooky, ella es una mentirosa!— tell him the truth!" Tito yelled at me

"I don't know what you're talking about!" I raised my voice at him

"tú maldición perra!" Tito says charging towards me, Oscar quickly grabbed his shirt pushed him away from me "get outta here!" Oscar demands

"Her old man!— ask her about her dad!" Tito says to Oscar but he was ignoring him, I walked closer to them.

"You wanna know about dad?— fine! He was an abusive piece of shit!" I say

"leave!" Oscar says pushing him away, "her dad! his name is John Smith!" Tito says making Oscar slow down "what?" He asked, "her dad name is John Smith— his people call him bullet, he killed those 7 Santos— five years ago!" Tito says

Oscar stopped in his tracks before turning to me "is this true?— jo?" Oscar asked, I stuttered for a moment before speaking up "I mean— that's my dad" I say

"we've been looking for him and anybody that knew him— for five years now!— so he can get what he deserved for killing members part of our family!" Tito spoke up

I looked Oscar as he looked at me with a disappointed look on his face, "where is he?" Oscar asked me

"He's in prison" I say, "what's going on?" I asked as everyone shared the facial expression as Oscar at me

Oscar sighed frustratedly "why didn't you tell me? that you was his daughter!" He raised his voice at me

"I- I don't know—I guess i didn't know it mattered" I stuttered, I walked towards him but he put his hand out to stop me from getting any closer, " Oscar—" I started to say before he cut me off

"No" he shook his head, "this is— we —we are over!" He says, "what? what about siempre?" I asked

"not anymore" he shook his head

"Oscar!" I started but he cut me off again "no— it's Spooky!" He says

I clamp my mouth shut as tears streamed down my face, I looked at everyone who looked at me like they were absolutely disgusted with me "so that's how it is?" I asked swallowing the lump in my throat

"that's how it is" he nods

"okay— they call me dagger!" I say

"—I got that nickname because— I not only stabbed one of my own, — I'm the reason why my dad's in prison, I'm the reason why he got 25 years to life. I snitched on my dad— I told an undercover cop— that he killed seven Santos and because they killed my twin brother, but I didn't know it was undercover cop and I didn't know the santos he killed was the same age of me— I was only 17– the prophets use to call me backstabber" I say

I wipe away my tears, "so— I'll leave— I'll go away, but if any of you try something— I promise you will regret it!— I'm not afraid to go down swinging" I say
