The car was going too fast. I wanted to jump but my legs buckled. Someone was shouting over all the noise. I looked around but no one was there. The car picked up more speed i couldn't stop it from slowing down. Quickly, i tried unlocking the doors but nothing would budge. In a second i flew off of the bridge and into the river.
As I slowly woke up the eyes of Mia greeted me. She rubbed my forehead as I began to regain my stability.
" weird ass dream," I muttered to myself. I tried sitting up but I felt a soft pang in my chest. Mia helped me up. The blinds in my room had been drawn to let in the morning sunshine. Light cascaded over the various posters of gansters and rappers I had posted on my walls. I couldn't help but feel weak as mia spoke to me softly. I wasn't really listening to her. I didn't want to. I explained to her what I did to make Dominic so angry last night. She kept silent for a while then told me what she wanted to do.
" I got some money you could use to rent out a apartment," she said softly. I gripped my blanket.
" I can't take money from you," I told her. She shook her head.
" No it's okay. Vince pitched in too. We want to help you," she told him. I laughed in my head. If you wanted to help me you'd get that punk ass of a brother some help.
" It doesn't feel right taking money from you guys," I replied hoping she'd lay off the subject. The last thing I need is charity.
" It's okay. Vince is out there looking for a nice apartment for you," Mia said soothingly. I sighed and got out of bed. I can't stand getting pity. That's the last thing I want. I took a shower and came back to my room to find Mia still there. She was flipping through one of my car mags. I changed into a pair of black Dickies and a white tank. Mia looked up.
" I've never seen you in a skirt before," she said laughing. it was true. I hadn't worn a skirt in 10 years. i didn't like the feeling of cold air blowing up my ass. We went downstairs and she made breakfast and I sat on the kitchen counter talking about the moving situation.
" Hey girls," Jessie said as he passed by the kitchen. I hopped off the counter and wanted to catch him before he went to the garage.
" Jessie," I whishpered. He turned around with a goofy grin on his face.
" what," he asked as he turned around. I lured him back to the kitchen.
" Did Dom say anything about what went down last night," I asked. Jessie wiped his hands on his overalls.
" You screwed him up big time. All the guys are calling him a pussy and stuff," Jessie said silently. I groaned.
" Well is he still mad about it," I asked. Jessie scrunched up his little face.
" Wouldn't you be mad if some new guy stole all your game, money, and women in one night and your supposed to be the top dawg," Jessie told her. He let her think for minute then he left. As much as she hated Dom he really didn't deserve what happened to him yesterday. Mia slid over a plate of eggs and toast on the table. She went over to the garage and yelled to the guys that breakfast was ready. I picked at my eggs as nervousness settled in my stomach. Within some minutes jesse and dom came out and grabbed some food. Everyone sat at the kitchen table except for me. I stayed at the kitchen counter. No one really talked.
" So your too good enough to sit at the table," Dom asked. I kept my back to him and said nothing. I heard the scraping of probably a knife or a fork scrape against the plate. i continued to eat my food in silence.
" I asked you a fuckin question," he yelled as he pounded his fist on the table.
" Dominic not now," Mia said softly. I got up and put my plate in the sink.
" Thanks for breakfast," Mia I said as I dropped my plate in the sink. I washed my hands and turned around to throw my paper towel in the trash can when I saw Dom glaring at me. I threw my trash away and went upstairs and grabbed my black hooded jacket. I dug my hands into the pockets as I ran down stairs. Like anous issues. I don't know how Mhy I'm living with the crew (M i kept my eyes my eyes on his.beautiful bloody Grease stains and oiled stained his clothes.At the foot of the stairs I saw Vince.
" there you are," he said as I gave him a sideways hug. i moved the hair from his eye to check out his face. It was sill red and funny looking. He was wearing his typical gray shirt and baggy black pants.
" So what'd you find," i asked him. He pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to me.
" you can move in this thursday," he told me. I read the address. Hmm, that's about 10 minutes away from here.
" Thanks," I said softly. We were silent for a minute.
" you know i'm gonna get a job and I can pay you guys back in about a month," I said quickly. he rubbed my back.
" naw, just make sure you stay out of trouble," he said quietly. I stuck the paper in my back pocket and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
" thanks," I said as I got off the last stair and out of the house. I didn't have a racing car. I had a cheap 98' honda. I spruced it up a little and it had great mileage. As I sat in the drivers side I didn't know what i was doing. Where I wanted to go. As fas away from here as you can i told myself. I started up the engine and drove down the street.
