Broken But Not Shattered
Chapter Two: Good-Bye New York, Hello Hick-Ville
"What! I don't get a trial? This is bull, I want a trial!" Keavy yelled at her parents who were sitting on their brand-new table and chair set.
"Honey," her mother said in a whiny Bronx accent, "there was no need for a trial, your father and I set up the arrangements already, you're leaving Friday."
"Don't 'Honey' me! I know you don't give what happens to me, all you care about is your money, and you're worried that I'll tell what I saw you do. Well let me tell you something 'Mother and Father' once I step foot into that Facility, I'll make sure I tell them everything!"
Keavy's mother and father looked at each other then back at Keavy and burst out in uncontrollable laughter.
"What you don't take me seriously?!" She said practically at the top of her lungs.
Her father got up from where he was sitting and walked over to where Keavy was and said, "You think they're going to listen to a 16 year old girl who got her self into trouble with one of New York's notorious gangs?! You idiot! They don't care what you say and they won't believe a word of it, so as far as I see it your mother and I are as innocent as a baby!"
"Now Keavy, go and pack your things before you father splits that big mouth of yours open again." Her mother said.
Keavy rolled her big brown eyes and walked off to her room.
"You think she'll tell, Cliff?"
"I know she won't, look what happened to Tony when he put his two-cents into our business. If she knows what's good for her she won't tell a soul." Cliff said popping open a beer from the fridge.
"I hope you're right. If they know what we did we'll be..."She was cut off by Cliff.
"She's not going ta tell, ya hear me Marlene?!"
"Yes, Cliff."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
"You're what?!"
"I just told ya, Brad. They're sending me away, because of what I saw. I'm leaving New York." Keavy told her friend.
"Look I'm leavin' Friday and I don't have enough time to help the Fallen Angels, okay, so just forget about it!"
"Chill Keav, I don't want you to help with the gang, you alright?" The boy from Queens asked
"Am I alright, well aren't you Mr. Innocence. Do you think I'm alright?! I'm getting sent to who know's where and you're askin' if I'm alright. And to answer your question, no, I'm not alright!" Keavy yelled into the phone.
"Look I'm gonna break you outta 'there, you'll come and live with me."
"It's no use, Brad. My father has this whole place crawlin' with his guys, there's no chance for me to escape now. But you know what? I think any place would be better than here. I mean just last night my father threw a bottle at me and bust my lip open. Any place will be better than here, any place."
"So now just 'cause you're leavin' you think I can just forget about you?"
"Whaddya talkin' about, Brad?"
"You know Keav, I have feelings for ya."
"Shut your hole, Brad, don't you ever call me Keav again. And you know what I have to say to you having feelings for me?"
"What?"
"That's a load of bull-turds! You feel sorry that I lost Tom, and now you're lookin' to give me pity. Well you know what? I don't want it! I'm leaving Friday and hopefully not coming back! Good-Bye Brad." Keavy said slamming the phone on its ringer.
"I can't believe him, 'You know, I have feelings for ya'. Feelings my butt that guy couldn't have feelings if it hit 'im upside his head." She said talking to herself. "Well I don't care, I'm leavin' and I don't want to come back."
*Flashback*
"Tony, stop!" Keavy giggled as her older brother tickled her.
Tony was always there for her he felt more like a father than her own father did. He took her to the park when she was younger, her played dolls with her when she was a toddler and he gave her advice on boys when she was growing up. Tony Torrelli was Keavy's everything. But then one day he was gone.
"No!" Keavy screamed as she heard the shot ring through the air, her brother fell to the ground with a thud. Keavy ran to his side as he said, "You gotta be strong for me Keav, don't let dad hurt you, you're stronger than this."
"Tony," she said through her tears, "Why did he do this to you?"
"I knew too much about what he was doin'." Tony said wincing "Promise me something, Keav."
"Anything."
"Don't go to the cops, or you'll be killed as well. Cliff knows you saw what he did and he'll do anything to keep your mouth shut. Promise me Keav."
"I promise. Now don't move let me clean you up, you'll be fine." She said letting her tears fall freely down her cheeks.
"Keav, you and I both know I'm not gonna make it. Now you be strong for me and down let Cliff or Marlene push you around, you can take care of yourself. And always remember that I love you and I'll be in a better place." And with that Tony Torrelli went to live with the Lord.
"Tony, Tony?! No!" Keavy screamed in hysteria
*End Of Flashback*
Keavy woke up on her bedroom floor; her clothes were wet from the tears streaming down her cheeks. She looked on the calendar, it was Friday. "Great," she muttered, "Doomsday."
"Keavy! Her mother screamed at the door.
"What do ya want?"
"You packed yet? The bus will be here to pick you up soon, they came all the way from Texas and we don't want to make them wait any longer."
"What the heck?! Texas? Great not only will I be forced to leave my home, but I'll be forced to live in Hick-Ville."
"Well.." her mother said in impatience.
"Well what?"
"You packed?"
"Yes, mother-dear I am packed." Keavy said sarcastically
"Keavy Torrelli don't you take that tone of voice with me!"
"Oh shuddap! I don't really care how I talk to you or Cliff, as of today I'm leaving New York and I won't see you for a long time!"
Keavy stormed out of her room carrying her backpack which contained her personal items.
"Is that all you're takin'" her mother said in her whiny voice.
"Yes, do you have a problem with that?"
Her mother, for once, had nothing to say.
At that moment her father walked up and said, "So long *itch, don't try anything funny, or the 'Warden' ,as they call her, will give me a ring and you will get such a beating you won't be able to breathe, you hear me?"
Keavy looked at him with disgust and said, "I hear ya, Hangman."
Before her father could look around the room for something to chuck at her, there was a honk.
"Oh look that must be my ride, so long, and don't worry they'll find out what you did sooner or later." She said mockingly
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
She had been on the bus for 3 days and had nothing to eat except the two sandwiches she packed herself, and they stopped only once for a 'potty-break'. As they got nearer to Camp Green Lake, Keavy started to notice the look of desolation in the land. The closer they got the more hotter it felt, and the more her arms ached from the handcuffs that were by now stuck to her.
"What the heck are all those holes doin' out there?" she asked herself. "Maybe it's a home for some animal of some sort."
Keavy had no knowledge of life out in the 'wild' she was street- smart not desert-smart, so the little she knew of the desert was going to sound ignorant to the others.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
"Alright get off! The driver shouted
Keavy awoke with a jolt, her head ached she was hot and she hated the look of this place. "Oh great," she muttered to herself. "I'm in Hick-Ville, USA."
