Everybody Wants to Rule the World ( under construction)

Chapter 1

1984

Angel's p.o.v

"Everybody wants to rule the world." I sing along with the lyrics to the new hit song happily in the car while my older brother Aaron drives me on the first day of school.

"Are you excited about your last year in high school Angel cake?" He asked me by my nickname "Angel cake" since I was a baby until now. "Aaron I'm not a little kid anymore." I smiled playfully at him."You're still going to be my Angel cake no matter how old you'll get." My brother said as I rolled my eyes at him. But I really appreciate him very much even though he's not a perfect man, especially having to give up things in his life like high school to care for me, I still thanked him for raising me all by himself since our Nonna Valencia died from old age and our mother not being around to properly take care of the two of us.

My mother is what you described as a beautiful but complicated woman throughout her life, she bore her two children out of wedlock without knowing if or who our fathers were (if we had the same father at that.) To continue her party life she abandons me and Aaron when I was 4-years-old and Aaron 10-years-old on my Sicilian grandmother's doorstep, Nonna Valencia. Nonna was my entire world and heart and she is towards this day, born in raised in Sicily Nonna wanted to start a new life here in New York with my grandfather and my mother, she was more of a real mother to me and Aaron as we grew up.

The simple gold Virgin Mary pendant around my neck is a necklace she gave me on my birthday before she died in my hands as her sickness overtook her in her sleep. She once told me that this Virgin Mary pendant would protect me from evil presence in my life and most importantly that my past ancestors will always look after me. Aaron on the other hand basically had to give up his high school years to take care of me as my legal guardian after Nonna's death then started working for some men in our old neighborhood in Bensonhurt as an "associate" as he calls it.

The men he hangs out with set us up an apartment on the upper west side of the city, but as the day goes by I started to feel like my brother was bringing in suspicious money from those men he's working for and I worry that he will be caught up in something that he will regret, jail or dead.
