I own nothing belongs to me-I do not own death sentence. If NO ONE REVIEWS-I WILL NOT UPDATE!
"So how did you convince my Aunt-to let me go to a bar" I said as I slipped on my black shrug. We were getting ready at Janis's house, somehow she convinced my Aunt that we needed 'Girl time', go figure.
"I just have the magic touch" Janis said putting on eyeliner, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Alright I told her we were having a movie night-to get reconnected" She said grabbing a tub of red lipstick.
"Are you going to get ready" I asked Gretchen, slipping on my gray dress that went a little pass me knees.( Ok the outfit looks just like Alice Cullen's outfit in twilight). She sighed and sat up.
"I know you want to go" I said slipping on my black tights under the dress. "You have a thing for Michael" I slipped on my sliver flats, I heard her gasp.
"N-no" She stuttered, as she put on her flared jeans; I raised an eyebrow at her. "I do NOT!" She yelled, I looked at Janis-then she looked at Gretchen.
"Shut up the both of you!" She grabbed her shirt, as she grumbled all the way into the bathroom. I laughed at her, I knew she was going to end up with this guy; I knew she was really into him.
"You know there going to end up together" I said putting on the red lipstick
She laughed "Of course-she's just in denial" she said, slipping on her heels.
"No I'm NOT!" She blushed; she was wearing dark jeans with a black silk top, with a purple jacket. (Rosalie's outfit, when she meets belle in twilight.) She grabbed the red lipstick out of my hands and slipped some on.
"You guys ready to go" Janis asked. (She's wearing the outfit that Rosalie's wears when you first see the Cullen's except for the scarf.)
"You looking all nice for your man" I said as I finished adding the sliver jewelry onto my wrist-I wasn't wearing much Jewelry tonight-Didn't want to look to tacky
"Do you have your meds just in case?" Gretchen asked wrapping her arms around me, I nodded, I said pointing to my sliver clutch bag.
"Of course" I said with a smile.
She kissed my cheek "Well come on" She said with a drawl, I rolled my eyes
Janis scoffed "Come on let's go" She grabbed my hand and dragged us down the stairs to her car.
"So what is this place called again" I said as Janis started the car, and pulled out of her driveway. She laughed, as she speed down the streets of Boston "The four roses"
I was kind of scared of going into the south of Boston, I only went there to get to Janis's house; I never went anywhere else. Janis looked at me with a knowing smile, she patted my arm.
"You're not the only one scared" She said looking back at Gretchen, she gasped
"I am not" She said with flushed cheeks. "Oh shut up" She said as she sat back.
Janis chatted they whole way to the bar about Joe, I think she was in Love with him. I've never seen her so lively so happy, I was really happy for her. But I was a little worried no scratch that really concerned about her dating a gangster.
Janis pulled up to and old grimy looking building, the neon sign of the bar was not even on. Garbage was all over the front, some drunk was stumbling out of the bar. There were hardly any cars in the parking lot.
"It's nice" I lied, as I slid out of the car, I heard Gretchen laugh from next to me "It's a dump-Admit it" She said linking her arm with mine. Janis laughed as she linked arms on my other arm.
"It has some charm-the inside is great" She said reassuring me, Gretchen just scoffed
"So where is your man?" I asked as we walked towards the bar
She smiled "He should be there-the others will be around later" She said pushing the wooden door of the bar open. The place did seem to have some charm, it was a little bit to dark and smoky but nice. A cross between rocker bar and a old western theme, in the back there was pool table and a ping pong table that has seen better days.
"It does have some charm" I said with a smile, Janis squealed; Gretchen rolled her eyes.
"Well hey there Mame" Said the bartender from the bar, we walked our way over.
He was defiantly twenties back into style, I almost laughed. He was wearing a silk shirt that was a cream colored-he had his black hair in curls. He was a pretty handsome guy, nice moca skin, straight teeth, but the look was bad.
"Hey there Sammy" Janis said leaning on the bar.
His eyes shifted towards me "Now who is this Goddess" He said cleaning a bar glass, I blushed
Gretchen laughed from next to me, Janis grabbed my arm and brought me closer to the bar.
"This is my other best friend Mia" she said kissing my cheek.
He smiled "We lovely to meet you Chica" He said placing some glasses on the bar "Would you lady's like anything to drink."
"Um I'll have a rum and coke" Janis said "And they'll both have water." She said pulling out some money from her clutch bag.
"Alright coming up" He said with a laugh
Janis sighed "So have you seen Joe" Janis asked with a smile.
"Nope-He is with his brother and the guys; there working" He said placing our drinks on the counter "He told me to tell you-he'll be here in twenty" Janis sighed
"Well let's play some pool" Janis grabbed my hand and steered me towards the back
I placed my bag onto the table in the back, as Gretchen went to jut box "So what does Joe do for a job" I asked grabbing a pool stick.
"They work on cars" Janis said looking away from me, she was lying she always did that when she lied.
"Tell her the truth Janis" Gretchen said taking a sip of her ice water.
I looked her as I set of the pool balls into the case and lined them up. "Janis do they-" I began
"They sell drugs" I gasped
"What the hell you thinking" I snapped, she rolled her eyes "It's not like they want to do it-you have to understand"
"Understand what?" I asked 'That there drug dealers" I said taking the case of the pool balls.
"Its not like they want to do it" She said with a sigh "Joe's father is a bad guy-he makes them sell the drugs" She said leaning on the pool table.
"Janis" I said with sad eyes. "Just be careful I love you" I said walking over to her and giving her a hug.
"I love you to" She said with a smile "Joe is really special to me-Just give him a chance" I gave a smiled and nodded
"I cannot believe this" Gretchen said with a sigh "I mean-" I cut her off
I looked at her "Let's trust Janis" Gretchen just slumped into her seat, sipping some water.
We played pool for awhile, and let me tell you we both kicked ass; the game was so close. There were only a few things I was really good at in this life, Art, Pool, and singing. I don't mean to pat my own back. But I was good.
"Bitch!" Janis said in frustration, I beat her; Gretchen giggled from her seat.
I gave her a sly smile "I cannot help it that I'm good" She shoved my playfully
"Hey-JOE!" She yelled as she threw her pool stick at me and ran towards her man, she jumped onto and wrapped her legs around his waist; as he crashed her lips against hers. I blushed and looked away; I was always shy watching people showing affection towards one another.
"Hey there baby" Came Michael's, voice as he walked over to Gretchen
I laughed "Well I'm going to get a drink" I said grabbing my clutch bag, as the other gang members walked into the round back table; giving me lustful looks as they past.
"I'll go with you" She said with a stuttered, I patted her arm. "No-your glass is already full" I slipped past her as I made my way over to the bar
But as I strolled past them my steps seized a bit, the sunglasses man; he was here. This time there were no shades, just steel-blue green eyes; they were beautiful. He wasn't wearing his leather jacket this time, just a black shirt with a gray long sleeved shirt underneath it. His intense steel blue-green eyes met mine, as I past. It was all slow motion, something that you would see in movies.
`His face held no expression, but his eyes told a different story. His eyes seemed to be guarded, like being able to hid any emotion. I looked a bit deeper behind those eyes, something was hidden back there, something I could not place; I would do anything to find out what it was.
My sapphire eyes were soft when they met his as we passed each other, he gave me a furrowed brow as if he did not understand what I was doing. Our glance ended as I ended up at the bar, looking at a smirking Sammy.
"So, Billy Darley eh?" He said with a smirk, so he was Joe's older brother, good looks run in that family.
"I have no idea what you're talking about?" I said giving him my empty glass of water; he took it from my hand with a chuckle.
"Sure Chica" He said with a chuckle "Just be careful with that one-he can be hard to handle" he said leaning towards me in a whisper
I rolled my eyes "There is nothing to worry about" I said with confidence "Nothing is ever going to happen.
"Don't think you have a choice Lady" He said with a sigh, as he filled up my glass.
I furrowed my brow at him in confusion "What are you talking about?" I asked softly taking the glass from him.
"Billy has already set his eyes on you" He said with a whisper, as he titled his head slightly to the back room. I shifted my eyes to the back, there he sat with his fellow gang members; laughing and drinking next to him. But not him, his steel blue-green eyes were only focused on me. My knees almost buckled from under me from the intense look that he was giving me, I was surprised that no one around him was noticing this display.
"He always gets what he wants" He said with a stern voice "And just by the looks of it, he looks interested" He whispered
"I doubt that-he would want me" I said with a shaky voice. "I mean I'm still in High school-barley eighteen" I was trying to convince myself. Sammy just shook his head, as he wiped down the bar with a cloth.
"Doesn't matter to Billy" He said with a grim smile "His eyes are on you for the moment" I shook my head
"I'm not looking for a relationship" I said with a laugh
He leaned onto the bar, and stopped cleaning "Neither is he sweetie" he said, and then he went back to cleaning, I took that as a signal to walk away. I walked slowly towards the back room, trying to avoid any eyes contact with Billy's table, but I could still feel his intense eyes on the back of my head; as I walked by.
"Hey what took you so long" Janis asked, she was sitting on Joe's lap; as he kissed her neck.
I sat down on the edge of the pool table "Just talking to Sammy that's all" I said with a bright smile. Janis gave me a questionable look, she was trying to read me; trying to see if I was lying. It was hard for people to tell if I was lying or not I was a very good liar.
"Hey there you are" Gretchen said wrapping her arms from behind me "What the hell took you so long" She hissed into my ear, Michael was watching her from across the room; while drinking a beer.
"Sorry I wasn't fast enough for you sweetie" I said kissing her cheek.
She gave a mock sigh "Ok I forgive you if..." She trailed "If we play a round of ping-pong" she said grabbing my hand.
I laughed "Sure come on" Anything to get my mind off of Billy Darley.
Now this ping-pong table hand defiantly seen better days, it almost collapsed on us when I leaned on it to make a serve. Not only was the Ping-pong table very fragile, it was greasy; and I'm not sure that was even possible. It had some type of greasy mess on there, I didn't further investigate it.
"This Ping-pong table should be quarantined" I said with all serious as me and Gretchen, rallied back and forth.
"You're so weird" Gretchen said with a giggle, I leaned my hand onto my hip "That's why you love me darling" I said with a nasal voice, she nearly fell over in laughter.
"We missed you so much Mia" She said with a smile as she served right back at me
I smiled at her warmly "I missed you guys to" she looked at me with a concerned look. "So how is everything-I mean what did the doctors say?" she asked in a whisper
I sighed "They said I'm doing a lot better-they never thought I would get into remission" I said with a huge intake of breath "And to be honest neither did I-I thought I was going to die in that place" Gretchen stopped serving, she walked towards me very slowly, her heals clicking softly in her steps.
"Mia you weren't going to die" She said as her voice cracked "I mean you can't-"She let out a small sob, she shook her head trying to fight her tears.
"Everything is alright now" I said with a warm smile "We'll worry about it when the time comes" I said running a hand through her hair.
"But-"A tear slipped down her cheek, I wiped it away quickly. "When the time comes" I whispered, I wrapped my arms around her in a warm embrace.
"Alright Lesbos" Came a slur from ahead of us, we pulled apart slowly.
These two guys were not from the Darley gang, they were just two guys drunk off their ass. One was overly obese with no facial hair on his body; he was a fat Mr. Clean. The other one was tall and gangly with so much body hair, he looked like bigfoot.
"Come on give her a kiss" He slurred as we walked past them to the pull table.
They stepped in front of us again "Come on" he cooed, I almost gagged
"Go get Janis "I whispered to her, she looked at me with wide eyes, "I'm going to give them the pitch" I said with a smirk as I picked up a pool ball; she smirked at me.
"H-hey where is your girlfriend going" The Bigfoot man slurred "I want to give her something" He said as he thrust his crotch towards me, I gagged.
"No one would want to touch that" I said with a sly smile "It's a biohazard"
The guys from the Darley gang laughed from there round table, but they seemed to be a little tense; like they were ready to jump in my defense. It was not like they knew me; they were probably only helping because I was Janis's friend.
"Bitch!" He hissed, as he stumbled back "Let's take her out back-"before he could even reach me: I pitched. (Ok what I mean by pitching is that she is going to take the pool ball and throw it, she pitches just like Alice Cullen did in Twilight.)I clutched the purple pool ball in my hand and threw my arms behind my head, and kicked my leg up in an angle on the side of my face; and threw hard. There was a loud crutching sound as the pool ball made contact with his face, he fell to the ground hard.
"Hey" The Mr. Clean guy shouted, I grabbed another pool ball; he stopped and held his hands up in defense "Come on Tim" He slurred as he picked up his bloody friend from the ground.
"I'll get you-bitch!" The Bigfoot man hissed as his friend dragged him out of the brother, I slit my eyes.
"HEY!!!" I shouted, he turned back towards me; right as he did. He was met with a red pool ball in the head, he fell back into his friend.
"Kiss that dick" I whispered, I grabbed my glass of water ; Janis wrapped her arms around me, right as the Darley gangs table was in a roar of laughter.
"Damn I almost missed the pitch" Janis said out of breath "You can still kick ass" she said as Gretchen threw her arms around me.
"That's some damn arm you have their girl" Came Joe's voice, he wrapped his arms around Janis waist. "Were did you learn to pitch like that?"
"I played Softball with Gretchen" I said with a laugh, as I was about to sit down; a familiar rush came to my head. This did not go unnoticed by my friends, they froze; Gretchen jumped up.
"Mia" She gasped, as she wrapped her arms around my waist "Do you need-" I smiled and patter her cheek.
"I just need my clutch" I said hinting to her about my meds, she nodded and snatched my clutch bag from the table.
"Hey is she alright" Joe asked Janis, Janis gave him a weak smile.
She looked at me with a grim smile "Yeah she just gets bad migraines" She kissed his cheek.
I took a deep breath "I just need some fresh air" I said with a smile, I picked up my glass
"There is a little alcove in the back outside" Janis said getting up "I'll take you there" I placed my hand on her cheek "I'll be fine" I whispered, I walked past them at a normal pace trying to convince them that I was ok.
But one I reached the end of the hallway, I let out a gasp trying to catch my breath. This was a cause of me not taking my meds when I should have, I have to be consistent with them; never forget the right time I should take them.
Or this would happen.
Once I met the cold fresh air of Boston, I let out a gasp; and collapsed on a black crate leaning against the brick wall of the Four Roses. I opened my sliver clutch bag shakily trying to calm myself, the pills raddled in the bottle as I tried to twist the cap off. I slipped three out three green pills and popped them into my mouth, and gulped some ice water into my mouth.
I was deep into my solitude; I didn't notice the back door open. There stood Billy Darley, I shivered; and it wasn't from the cold. He was leaning against the brick, as he pulled out a cigarette; it was like he didn't even know my presence.
"Those cause cancer you know" I said softly as I took a sip of my Ice water, he laughed; his was rough and husky. "I'm sure you don't want black lungs Billy" I said
His face shifted towards me for the first time "And how do you know my name, little girl" He blew smoke in my face, with a smirk.
"Janis told me" I said with a smile, he smirked "Gang lord, Drug dealer" I said in a monotone voice. "I'm surprised that Janis went out with Joe" I said in disbelief, his face hardened.
"You saying my brother Is not good enough for your friend" He hissed bringing his face towards mine, I didn't flinch "Nothing of the sort-Janis was never the type for dating-things change I guess" I said with a smile "I was gone for a few years-" Damn I slipped, he looked at me as if I should go on.
"How come you're not inside?" I asked, he grunted "I mean you can smoke inside"
He looked down at me "I wanted some fresh air" I did not believe him what so ever.
I laughed at him; he glared "What!" I guess he didn't like being laughed at
I smiled and giggled "Nothing" I said taking a sip of water, "what you laughing out!" He shouted.
"I don't believe you" I said with a laugh, he glared at me; hi eyes enraged.
"Your right you shouldn't" I said laughing at him, he threw his cigarette to the ground.
He brought his face close to mine " I don't liked being laughed at!" He hissed "I won't tolerate it" he said grabbing my elbow, I brought my face close to his.
"There is something you should know" I whispered, he looked down at me hard; I placed my hand onto his broad chest.
"And what's that!" He snapped, I brought my sapphire eyes-to his blue-green ones
He was breathing really hard now, trying to control his anger "I'm not afraid of you" I whispered, that seemed to bother him; he pushed me back down onto the crate.
"You should be little girl" He warned, he glanced at me one more time; and stormed back into the bar.
This was my first encounter with Billy Darley, and I knew it was not going to be the last.
