Leaving Part 1
Jedda
"But Papá do I have to go there?" I pleaded to my Dad.
No way did I want to go to America to stay with his family, just over some gang war.
"Can't I stay, I know how to protect myself, I've killed before, I've fought in gang wars before so why can't I now!" I tired to convince my father.
"I said NO Jedda and that's final, Understand!!" Papá shouted.
I knew he was pissed at me because he called me by my name instead of cariño (sweetheart).
"I understand dad but can you at least tell me why I have to go." I inquired
He released a heavy sigh "Cariño (sweetheart) they wanted to make a agreement, which was that you have to be in a arranged marriage to Lucas, I immediately said No, I was infuriated that they could even request that." He breathed heavy trying to calm down "I didn't tell you so you didn't worry before you leave tomorrow, but your so stubborn, that is the reason you are going to America." He stated calmly
I stood in shock, at least my father wasn't angry at me anymore. But why me, why did they want me to marry that awful pig Lucas, he was a man slut, he was next in line as the leader of the biggest Brazilian gang in Australia.
We go to the same high school he always tries to make moves on me, the pig but my twin brother Jago who is only older than me by a minute, always threatens him to stay away from me. They clash heads a lot as they are both going to be Leaders of gangs soon.
"But Dad don't we have a treaty between our gangs, how could they request that and declare war on our gang?" I questioned
"Yes but they decided to break the treaty because the son of the Pedro, Lucus requested a arranged marriage with you" my father sighed yet again.
"That bastard, it's not enough that he hits on me and is a man slut, but he wants to tie me down to him by marring me!" I greeted my teeth in disgust and anger
"I know, that is why I'm sending you to America for protection, while we fight this war, we don't know what they have up their sleeve, you understand now." My father stared at me awaiting my response.
"Fine I understand papá, but I still think i could fight them." I said irrtated
"I know cariño but it's for your safety, so please just do as I say."
"Yes papà"I sighed
"Now go finish packing so we can have a family dinner before you leave" he ordered me by pointing his hand towards the door for me to leave.
I walked around his desk and gave him a peck on the cheek before leaving his office. I headed upstairs to my room to finish packing.
As I was packing my two best friends popped their heads in my room. Aarrah her father was my Dad's right hand man, and Mateo his Dad was my father's left hand man. We were all best friends including my brother Jago, we always got in trouble together. Mateo was going to be my brother's right hand man when he takes over the gang. They ran to me hugging me as they saw me packing i hugged them back.
"I'll be back." I promised
Aarrah pointed her finger in my face "You better be" She threatend
I laughed "Did you just threaten me." I teased
She gave me a death stare "Yes, I can't be the only girl around here, I'll drag you back."
We all laughed imaging Aarrah dragging me back.
"But seriously please come back your the only person who can control her besides her mum." Mateo looked at me scared shit less
I laughed Aarrah was a little spit ball she was only like 2 inches shorter than me but I'd still call her little. She was sassy and could always find trouble.
"I wish we could go with you." Aarrah pouted
"Yeah if any boys hit on you, you ring me and I'll find them." Mateo stated angrily he was like a second older brother to me.
"I will don't worry Mateo." I rolled my eyes
Mateo looked at me annoyed "Did you just roll your eyes I'm serious."
Me and Aarrah just started laughing at him
He looked like he wanted to chop our heads off
"Fine, fine I'll tell you if any guy hits on me" I sighed
"Good" he said grufly
After laughing and joking, I finished packing and we headed down for dinner.
All our father's, Aarrah's and Mateo's mum's were seated at the table while my brother sat there looking bored out of his mind from the conversations they were ingaged in. We lost our mother when we were 8 years old from cancer but she still is with us in memory.
I run to the seat near my brother and playful shove him, his caught off guard, he falls off his chair and land flat on his ass. We all laugh while he yells " JEDDA I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
And that's my cue to run, I run down the hall from the dinning room but his so fast he catches up to me quick. I quickly make a turn but as I round the corner to the kitchen he grabs my waist and lifts me other his shoulder, I pound on his back with my fists and kick my legs but since I'm only 5'6 compared to his 6'6 frame it's useless.
I start yelling "PUT ME DOWN YOU ASS, JAGO NOW!"
But he doesn't and keeps walking to wherever his going hear the back door slide open and immediately scream.
"JAGO NO, IT WAS A JOKE DON'T YOU DARE!" I scream from the top of my lungs
Jago starts laughing evily and next thing I know I feel water splash all around me. I feel a piercing cold shiver go up my back, as I'm submerged in clear aquar water, my hair floats around me, I hold my nose and as I open my eyes their struck by the biting chlorine infused in the water. I swim to the top and as I break the surface of the water, I find my brother bent over cackling. I see this as a opportunity to strike.
I slowly but stealthily swim to the steps and step out, my brother's to imerged in laughing to notice me sneak up behind him and push him straight in. I hear a shrill and grin satisfied as he swims to the top and glares at me.
After drying off we head inside to have our last meal before I leave tomorrow.
