A Mob Bosses Daughter.(Original.)

Chapter one: The Beginning

Gunshots being fired. My boyfriend gone, my family gone, my will to live... Well that's pretty much never existed. Sucking up my silent cries I knew I had to keep going.

I mustered up what little strength I had left pushing through the fear and pain I was feeling. I grabbed a small camo green object out of the inside pocket of my black jacket. I pulled the silver clip and threw the grenade as I started running.

Even though I knew I had a small chance but I knew it was also my only chance. Blood dripping out my cuts and the bruises and my body aching while dodging the hot led bullets flying through the air.

I heard the explosion as the grenade made impact with the ground and I started to feel the fiery heat against my back. I was sprinting as fast as I could. Was this really gonna be my end?.....

14 1/2 years earlier

Screams filling the hospital room with the midwife encoraging her. "Come on you're doing so good just one last push." After one last push the baby girl was finally brought into this world the mother was ripped up horribly and spent all day in surgery cause the doctors were stuiped and the baby was born mostly breach.

The family came to see the baby girl the next day cooing and loving her. Her two year old brother was excited and overjoyed "Its my baby!" The two year old son said. The father responded with "You'll be a great big brother Ace.". Everyone was happy with smiles all around. A perfect little moment in time.

On the third day of the baby's life her family got to return home from the hospital. The husband drove to his wife's parents house "Get out.". "What?!" the wife responded in a confused and shocked tone.

"Marie I can't do this anymore. So get the kids and get out!". Marie looked at her husband Keith then got out and grabbed the kids and their car seats. She was now a mother of two with a low paying job, no house, and a new born baby.

The next few years flew by and the baby grew up into a smart and sassy little girl named Atom, the parents got divorced when the girl was two, even after them trying to patch things up a few times, both Marie and Keith started dating people. Marie started dating a man named Kyle and Keith, a woman named Amy.

Amy had a son named Max who liked beating up and bullying Atom. Ace was taking karate lessons to help protect his little sister but eventually he just stopped caring about protecting her and started being mean to her also. Keith spent a lot of his time with the boys and didnt include Atom very much cause she was female. She felt sad and would cry cause she felt alone.

Atom was in dance and was taught not to fight with other people but when it was appropriate to stand up for herself using her words. Let's just say as she grew up a bit she went through a few phases. She was a bit violent through them for example she had a few hitting, biting, kicking phases.

Her parents didn't know why she was like this but as Atom got older she realized it was cause of the abuse and bullying and maybe a bit for attention because she felt alone. When Atom was 6 years old Marie got married to Kyle he had been a really nice guy and they all loved him.

About 9-10 months after the wedding Marie gave birth to a baby girl named Ella. Atom loved her little sister... Ella didn't love her older sister that much, anytime Atom would walk by her she would start crying and Atom would get screamed at and sometimes spanked by Kyle so of course she started to hate Ella and her Step-dad Kyle. Atom was afraid of him.

Atom was in public school up until Ace got sick with mono and missed a month of school before they started homeschooling him in about the 4th grade. Atom thought it would be a good idea. She had been in 5th grade class with the smartest students and also the dumbest so the thought of working at her own pace made her happy.

She was pretty smart and skipped 3 grades allready so she was happy but soon learned she hated the idea of being home so much, especially with Kyle around.

Her life was pretty uneventful for the next couple years, the mental abuse got worse and when she was 9 she moved in with her aunt with her mom and siblings after Kyle and Marie had a really bad fight.

The aunt's name was Summer and she was super close with Atom and they would go on breakfast dates at least once a month and then buy paint afterwards it was kind of their little thing. Atom loved her for Summer was her best friend. They had party's, and did a lot of baking, and would have makeovers, etc. When Atom was about 10 years old Marie moved in with Kyle again and tried to make things better....

Well when Atom was 11 her mother and siblings all moved into a small house and Atom started getting depressed she finally had time to look over her life and didnt have anything to distract her and she had an actual understanding of it. She realized how much trauma and abuse that she has endured.

She realized how much it really affected her and how sad she was. The fear she still felt and pain she remembered and shed try to hide it and then cry silently in her pillow at night over thinking and just having a wave crashing over her while she was trying to swim to the surface unable to breathe.

Her late nights of crying reminded her of the times she'd listen to Kyle and Marie fighting through the vents in her room.While there were in the kitchen or living room downstairs.

She was put in self defense in case Kyle ever tried something or incase something ever happened to her. She was taught how to shoot simple guns like shot guns and bb guns when she was younger because she was raised in the country.

She spent a lot of time outside at her new home, her favorite spot was about 10-20 feet up in her favorite oak tree. She was hidden just enough from the road and house that she felt safe. The relief she felt, it felt like she could finally breathe and she found it comforting. The view she got of the woods especially in the fall was breathtaking.

There was always a small breeze that she would sit back and listen to while resting her legs on the branches. It was her little take away from life. Eventually Marie started taking better care of herself and was happier which made everyone else happy.

Marie went to a gym a couple times a week at night usually when everyone was asleep...well when she thought everyone was asleep or she would go after work and then ask Atom if everything was alright if she went. Atom always said yes... Even though sometimes she didn't want to be alone.
