"Alright AJ this is what we're gonna do. Chuck and I are going to be on the lookout for Fernando's guys because they're bound to come and you can bet their fucking ass they're going to bring heat so we want you out of there before all the shit goes down, so run in there grab the money and the stash and meet Pablo by the back window alright?"

"Okay I guess Tony but what if- AJ said as she could feel her lower lip quivering with fear.

"No buts AJ! Just go and do it!" Tony shouted as he shoved her towards the entryway.

"OKAY! fuck... AJ said as she opened the door to the beautiful house that was draped in marble flooring and diamond chandeliers. For a second it distracted her from what she was actually there to do so she quickly ran upstairs and looked for the room Tony told her the stuff would be in.

"Uh fuck which one is it? Damn there's so many rooms." She said as she looked down the winding hallway.

As AJ continued down the hallway she tried her damned hardest to remember what room it would be in.

"Wait I remember now! 3rd one down the hall to the left." AJ said as she walked towards the room which was already unlocked as if someone was previously in here.

AJ flipped the light switch on and looked around the room for the drawer that was marked to have the stuff in it. She rumaged through all the bedroom and night stand dressers and found nothing but clothes, a gun, and some books on how to be successful.

"Ugh what the fuck? where is this shit?" AJ said getting very agitated at the fact that she didn't see anything that was supposed to be there.

"Typical fucking Tony to have a invalid plan and then have me go through with it." AJ said as she began to leave the room before she tripped over a chest that was in front of the bed.

AJ didn't think twice before opening it to where she found all the stuff; the money, drugs, passports, and a few guns. AJ grabbed the bag she carried with her in her backpack and quickly began to stuff the items in it as she heard gunshots being fired and screams.

"AJ LET'S GO! HURRY AND GET TO THE WINDOW" Tony shouted loud enough for AJ to hear.

AJ could hear Tony yell from outside which means things were getting hot so she slung the duffle bag over her shoulder, gripped her pistol and began to run down the stairs where she found Tony laid across the foyer floor in a pool of blood.

"TONY! NO PLEASE TONY! wake up baby come on please wake up I need you to get up!" AJ said as tears began to flow down her face as she cupped Tony's bloody and lifeless face.

"Tony?" AJ said as she saw him begin to stir

"AJ..." Tony said as he coughed up some blood

"I need you to go with Pablo now. I know you're worried about me but I promise you i'll be fine. I promise you. Now come here" Tony said as he motioned for AJ to come closer.

"Oh baby, I can't leave you here. Not like this." AJ said as she cried harder.

"AJ we cleared them out for now but more will come and when they do you cannot be here." Tony said as stern as he could.

"Fine Tony but remember you promised..." AJ said as she went to kiss him

Just as their lips touched. *Bang bang*

Wednesday…

"TONY!" AJ shouted as she awoke from her sleep.

AJ couldn't even fathom why she dreamt of that terrible day or why it ended like that. This was beginning to get way out of hand. It's been years since she's had nightmares about her old, dark, past…

AJ was brought out of her thoughts as the nurse came in with a change of clothes her parents left for her to change into.

"There you go and before you leave you just need to fill out this sheet for us" The nurse smiled as she placed both items on the table.

"Thank you so much" AJ said as she waved her goodbye so she could change. AJ couldn't have been happier to be being discharged from the hospital although she'll be attending physical therapy for the next 2 weeks, she couldn't have been more grateful to just be okay. She was one of the lucky ones.

AJ had changed, showered, and got dressed and was ready to leave. She texted her mom and had her order her a rental car while her car is being fixed. Not that AJ wasn't well off in money or anything she just chose to stay humble throughout her life due to what she went through as a child.

AJ texted her mom to thank her for the car as she went to unlock the door.

"Shit, I have to text Punk" AJ said as she fumbled for her phone that she dropped on the floor of the car. She grabbed it and sent him a text reminding him of their lunch.

"Hey Punk, I was just wondering where you wanted to meet for lunch. I just got out the hospital and just needed to know when you wanted to meet up"

"Ugh I sound desperate as hell" AJ said as she bowed her head on the steering wheel"

"Wait Owww, my neck, fuck" AJ said as she grabbed her neck and tried to even out her muscles that were obviously still sore from the crash.

As AJ was rubbing her neck she felt her phone vibrate and checked it, her face beaming with excitement as she saw it was a text from Punk.

"Hey AJ, how you feeling? Uh I'm sorry I didn't give you a location I didn't want to overwhelm you with other things while you were still hospitalized but if you want we can reschedule it if you want"

"No, no,no! It's fine. I'm okay I feel great actually just a little sore but I'll be alright, they have me in physical therapy for the next 2 weeks anyways so I'll actually be busy so today is perfect."

Her phone vibrated again, "Alright well if that's the case meet me at Hunters in 20?"

AJ couldn't help but smile as she typed her response; "Alright I'm on my way…hopefully lol" Gosh why am I such a dork? AJ asked herself as she shook her head and pulled out the parking lot.

AJ felt her phone ring and saw it was a blocked number. She debated whether she should answer it or not but her curiosity got the best of her and although her mind said tell that to her fingers as she pressed the answer button.

"Hello?" AJ said curiosity evident in her voice

"It all starts now baby girl" A deep voice on the other line said with a deep laugh"

"I swear if this is Tony or James or Chris you need to leave me the fuck alone and get out of my life. That time in my life is over and I have nothing to do with what you guys want so this stops" AJ said panicked and hung up but moments later she received a text

"It's not over April, it's only the beginning…"
