The Rise of a Gang Leader

A Death in the Family

Your P.O.V.

After a long day of dealing with bullies at school I was about to finish my final class. Luckily, it was the last day of school and I was ready to leave. It was a good thing my families restaurant was a couple blocks away. I walked inside and saw my parent's working. We may not have had much, with me failing in school, but at least we had each other.

Mom: Hi Y/n, how was your last day of school?

Y/n: Same as usual, same jerks pushing me around.

Dad: Well we were about to go to the store and get some things, you wanna come sport?

Y/n: Sure, I guess.

My parents and I owned a restaurant in the Boston neighborhood in the Harlem district, it was the poorest part of Liberty City. We always had little money thanks to the gangs that are always causing trouble and Los Cardenales had started pushing drugs in Boston.

With that we went to the store, but the only one open here was in Petersburg and I even heard that The Reapers gang has been demanding protection money from the owners. So we made our way over to the store to get any groceries we could afford. Luckily, we just made it after the reapers left so we got what we needed and left. After bringing the groceries back we decided to go for a walk around Hollow Bay.

Hollow Bay use to be a nice residential area in Harlem with a few small parks. But then the Vice Lords came along and started running prostitutes in the area. The parks were the only place those prostitutes wouldn't come so my and my parents were able to enjoy the peace and quiet.

However, it turns out that we made a big mistake coming to the park today. There were members of all the gangs in the park and they were glaring at one another. I was really hoping that the parks was neutral territory, but I was so fucking wrong.

Out of nowhere one of the reapers had pulled out his gun and had started shooting. Everyone was running while I took cover behind a trash can and my parents tried to his behind a bench. And before I knew it my parents had been shot when a VL(Vice Lord for short) came running by and a reaper with an SMG shot them dead.

Y/n: NOOOOOOO!

Then in the distance police sirens were heard and the remaining gang members ran off. I came out of my hiding spot and ran up to my parents. My mom had bleed out and my father was barely alive.

Y/n: Hold on dad, the cops are coming just hold on.

Then he reach out and started cressing my check and started tearing up as I did as well.

Dad: Y/n, promise that you'll avenge me and your mother.

Y/n: Dad, don't say that your--

Dad: Promise me!

Y/n: Ok, I promise!

With that he took a note out of his pocket and gave it to me. I looked at it before putting it in my pocket and looked back at my dad as he died in front of me. I started crying as several cops came up and called in the massacre.

A few hours later

I was in a office at the police station in the financial district. I had been sitting in silence the whole time and thinking on what I should do next. I didn't know what to say anyways since I had no family or friends to turn too.

I had to do something to avenge my parents, so after I left the station I took the bus back to my family's restaurant. After I knew I was alone I locked up the restaurant and pulled out the note my dad gave me, and it read:

Dear Y/n,

If you are reading this note then it means your mother and I are dead and I made you promise to avenge us both. The Gangs in this city have always been a problem and people are to afraid to stand up to them. We never told you this before but your mother and I use to be part of a Gang.

When we were pregnant with you we gave up that life to raise you as best as we could. I know I might be asking a lot right now, but I want to to help the people fight back. Liberty City will never be safe with the gangs on the loose. If you can show the people how to fight back then both you and Liberty City can have a future.

We love you so much and well always be with you.

Love, Mom and Dad

P.S.- There is a hidden safe by the stove in the kitchen full of money we saved up over the years. The combination is 25-07-41, so use that money well. -Mom

With that I started to search the kitchen for any sign of the safe. It took a few minutes but I managed to find it and put in the combination. As soon as it opened I was shocked to see at least half a million dollars inside.

I knew then and there what I had to do in order to avenge my parents and save Liberty City. i had to start my own gang and fight back to make the city better and put an end to the gang war.
