Chapter Six: One Little Secret and Breaking Free
"MARCUS! PLEASE! LET JASON GO!" screamed Brianna, tearfully. If anything had happened to her baby brother she would just kill herself. Mad Dog's eyes flashed dangerously and smirked at her. Brianna looked away out of pure habit. Every time he looked her in the eyes she would looks away, just like when she was a member of his gang. Never look him in the eyes. He knew fear in another's eyes. He knew her fear. He knew everything about her. Everything.
"Mad Dog, ya heard her! Let Jason go!" shouted Squid. He couldn't understand why Brianna refused to look Mad Dog in the face. "Bri?" Squid asked, softly.
"What?" she asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Whaddya talkin' about?"
"Ya won't look up."
"She won't look at me. I know her fear. Every time she looks into my eyes she'll remember that day." Mad Dog hissed, smirking at Squid. "I took something she'll never get back."
"You bastard," growled Squid. Brianna whimpered.
"I hurt her. Ya should've seen it. Ya think she's so strong. I saw the pathetic, useless, crybaby beneath her exterior," Mad Dog added, without any knowledge of Squid's comment. Squid glared at Mad Dog.
"You say one more word and I'll-!"
"Don't, Alan. He's not worth yer time," whispered Brianna. "Besides, this is my fight. Not yers." Squid glanced at his wife and gave her a look of disbelief. Brianna smiled reassuring at him and said, "I can take care of myself, Alan. Trust me. This is my fight."
"Sure it is, Charm," Mad Dog's cold voice, rang throughout the alley. "Here's yer pathetic blood relative." A red head male came out with a younger brunette boy, fighting desperately against the red head.
"JASON!" screamed Brianna. The brunette looked up and his innocent gray eyes flashed with happiness and at the same time terror.
"BRI!" Jason shouted. His voice was so much older. He looked like their mother. Brianna's heart almost stopped, realizing this. Their mother, he looked just like her.
Mad Dog approached Brianna and circled her, running his fingers through her hair. "You've grown a lot since I saw ya when ya were seventeen, darlin'," his drawling voice hissed in her ear, sending shivers done her spine. She refused to look him in the face. "Charm, stop lookin' away. Y'know ya can't run anymore." Brianna's anger grew. "Besides isn't yer drunk, abusive, father still haunt you? Now about yer mother's screams? Or yer Sarah ditchin' ya? Mark's death.? La Cajun Cinq might have an idea who killed yer brother Mark. Didya track Diamond down and ask her? She did Charm. Shot and killed him, just for me. His blood is on her hands. How about me Charm? Have ya thought about me any? I bet ya do. My eyes? That day? Hmm?" he asked while circling her. Memories flashed through her mind. She felt the terror fill her body.
Her father.
Mark's death.
Sarah running away.
Her mother.
Mad Dog raping her.
Faking her death.
Scorpions.
La Cajun Cinq.
"Come now darlin'," hissed Mad Dog, with a deadly smirk on his face. "Y'know ya can fight anymore." Mad Dog stood behind her and placed his hands directly on the sides of her waist. "There's one thing ya never told anyone. No one, but me. D'you remember?" Brianna paled, remembering the one thing she had pushed from her mind and her memory.
"SHUT UP!! THAT WASN'T MY FAULT GOD DAMMIT!" Brianna cried out.
Too many memories flashed through her mind. Too many. She was going to crack. Drugs, pain, suffering, rape, shoplifting, abuse, her family, her gang, and one little secret which had never crossed her mind since she was fourteen.
"Whatever happened to my child?" asked Mad Dog.
"WHAT!?!" bellowed Squid.
"BRIANNA!" gasped Kayla.
"It wasn't my fault," she whispered.
"HOW CAN THAT NOT BE YER FAULT!?" Squid shouted, angrily.
"Easy. That baby is what resulted from Mad Dog raping me."
Mad Dog smirked at Squid. "Yeah," Mad Dog said, grinning. He turned to Brianna. "What happened to it?"
Brianna sighed. "Abortion. You think I wanted to have a child when I was fourteen because my asshole ex-boyfriend raped me?!" screamed Brianna, tears falling silently down on her face. Squid came up to Brianna and wiped away her tears. "I should've told ya, Alan, but I blocked it from my mind. I didn't want to remember that. No way."
"It's ok," whispered Squid. Brianna shook her head. "It is. I promise."
Mad Dog snorted, "Look. Bri's pretty boy boyfrien-,"
"Husband. Ya wanna call me a pretty boy then make sure it's husband not boyfriend," Squid grinned at Mad Dog. Mad Dog looked over at Brianna.
"Y-you married h-h-him?!" Mad Dog whispered, backing against the wall. Brianna looked at Mad Dog, his face looked different. He had never looked the way he did now, before.
"Marcus?" Brianna asked, tenderly. He looked away. Brianna realized Squid had hit a deadly nerve in Mad Dog.
"Is it true?" asked Mad Dog's voice. His voice sounded hurt.
Brianna extended her arm and revealed her golden wedding ring to Mad Dog. He stared at it and then in Brianna's face. He couldn't believe this. "I'm a month pregnant with Alan too," whispered Brianna. Mad Dog stared blankly. His navy blue eyes flashing dangerously. Brianna looked down to the pavement. Don't look him in the eyes, she kept telling herself. Never let Mad Dog see the fear. He used that to his advantage. He was good at that.
"BRIANNA LYN BARLOW-SYNCH YOU LITTLE SLUT!" Mad Dog roared, striking her in the face. Brianna took the hit across the face without a sound. She was used to worse.
"DON'T HIT HER! AND DON'T YA EVER CALL HER A SLUT! I'LL KILL YA IF YA DO!" growled Squid, angrily. Brianna slowly moved away from Mad Dog and to Squid. She stared lovingly into his eyes. A smile crept along her face.
"I love you," she whispered to Squid. He smiled down at her. Mad Dog watched in horror realizing he could never get Brianna back now.
"I love you too," Squid whispered.
Mad Dog kicked the wall and pulled out a handgun. He put one single bullet into it. He brought the barrel to his temple. If he couldn't have Brianna, he didn't have a reason to live. Brianna looked toward Mad Dog and gasped. "MARCUS DON'T!" she cried out. Squid stared at her. How could she be doing this?
Mad Dog gazed into Brianna's emerald eyes, lovingly. "If I can't have ya. It's pointless for me to live in this world. I want ya more than anyone and ya've moved on, without me." He paused. "I'm sorry for everything Brianna. It's my entire fault. I love you, no matter what or where I am, Je vous aime." With that there was a gunshot. Blood spattered against the wall in the ally.
"MARCUS!" screamed Brianna. "Jesus Christ!"
Brianna ran to Mad Dog and kneeled down against his limp, dead body. Blood oozed out of the gunshot wound he inflicted upon himself. Tears filled her eyes. Sure she hated him but she did love him a long time ago. Some feelings never leave. Mad Dog's never left which drove him to obsession.
Squid came over to Brianna and put his arms on her shoulders. "Bri, let's go." He said simply.
"NO!"" she cried. Squid knelt beside her and kissed her neck, then her cheek and then her mouth. She turned to him and cried into his chest. "I can't believe him! He's such a dumbass. Mad Dog! "Dammit!" she cried, her voice muffled. Brianna cried. Sure, she hated Mad Dog, but she put that aside for this brief moment. She loved him once. And that'll stay with her forever. She didn't love him now, but she had, and that memory of her love for him would stay with her for the rest of her life.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YA!" screamed Brianna.
"Bri, honey, calm down! It's ok! I promise!" Squid whispered to her assuring to Brianna. Her tears flood down her face. Brianna couldn't believe how stupid Mad Dog was for shooting himself, just because he couldn't have her.
"DAMN HIM!"
"Bri-"
"SO STUPID! IDIOTIC! MORONIC! RETARDED! MENTAL! LUNATIC!"
"Brianna I-"
"HOW STUPID CAN HE BE! OH GOD! MORON! STUPID! STUPID!"
"BRIANNA!" shouted Squid, frustrated. Squid made Brianna look him in the face. Her eyes were glossy with tears. She looked slightly shocked at him for yelling but didn't say a word. "Baby, I know yer hurtin' but ya hafta realize. This is the same guy who hurt ya when ya were fourteen."
"I know, but I can't help it."
"I know sweetie. I know." Squid whispered. He gently brushed his lips against Brianna's lips. Tears were forming in her eyes. "I know I can't understand everything ya went through. But. Bri, I love ya. More than anyone. That's one thing, I CAN promise ya."
Brianna threw her arms around Squid and cried instantly. "I love ya too, Alan," cried Brianna. Squid put his arms around her and held her tightly against himself. "Don't ever leave me, Alan. Please."
"I won't," Squid whispered. "I promise."
