Chapter 21-Jonnie Marco

-Three days later-

Sasha's POV

For the past three days, things around the house have been weird. The sexual between me and Vince was starting to grow and it was becoming harder and harder to keep our hands off each other. Luckily, nobody else noticed anything except Di.

It was Thursday morning and I decided to actually go home. I wanted to check in on Anthony and Ma.

"Thanks for the ride Letty. I'll catch a ride back with Di when she gets home from school." I said to her. She nodded and sped away towards the garage as I stepped in the house.

"Ma? You home?" I called out, shutting the door behind me.

"Yeah I'm in the kitchen." I heard her yell.

She was sitting at the kitchen table looking through old photos. I pulled up a chair next to her and we talked about the pictures.

I noticed a little girl in almost all of the pictures who seemed familiar, but I didn't know her.

"Who's that Ma?" I asked her. I noticed the distant look she got in her eyes, like she didn't want to talk about her.

"That was your best friend when you were younger. She moved away long ago." She replied, tears forming in her eyes. I knew she didn't wanna talk about it.

"Ohh." was all I said. When she was ready to tell the full story, I'd be ready to listen.

We continued looking through old photographs, the young girl showing up in the majority of them.

Around 3:45, I heard the front door open and slam shut.

"Ant c'mere!" I called for him. He stomped his way into the kitchen and slammed his body down in a chair. "What's your problem?" I asked, quirking an eyebrow at him.

"This guy. He's always chasing me and beating me up." He replied, angrily. He was never one to stand up for himself. There was never really a man of the house to teach him that. I had too.

"What did I tell you about letting guys pick on you? Who is this guy?" I asked him.

"His names Jonnie Marco. He's 17. Him and his friends hang out around my school." He responded. "Look don't worry about it okay. I can handle it."

"Obviously not. Look at your eye Tone." I said to him, noticing the ring that was starting to form around his right eye. "How many of them are there?" I asked, having an idea to end all of this.

"I don't know. Like four or five." He answered, pulling his face away from my hand. I nodded and pulled out my cell phone.

"Sasha what are you doing? Don't get in any more trouble. And Tony, I'm gonna do something about this." Ma finally spoke up.

"No need to Ma. I got it handled. I'm just gonna call some friends up, that's all." I lied.

"Hello?" A voice answered on the phone.

"Dominic. You, Leon, Vince, and Jesse need to come to my house now." I replied. I wasn't gonna have them beat the boys up. Just scare them.

"Alright." He said before hanging up.

Five minutes later, I could hear engines roaring up the street.

"Ma, we will be back in a lil bit. Tony let's go." I growled at him.

When we stepped on the porch, the boys were each sitting on the hood of their cars.

"Whoa. Who they hell are they?" Anthony whispered in pure amazement of the cars.

"Watch your mouth. And this is my team." I said to him, walking up to the boys.

"What is it now Sash?" Leon asked annoyed. Me and Leon had that brotherly-sister bond. Except it was the one that you annoy the hell out of each other. He was my boy though.

"Shut up Le. Guys this is my little brother Anthony. Tony, this is Leon, Vince, Jesse, and Dominic." I introduced.

"Oh my gosh. A Maxima ... a Jetta ... a Mazda Rx-7 ... and ..." Tony zoned out. He loved Skylines. When he saw Leon's, he almost fainted.

"A Skyline. You know your cars huh little man?" Leon asked. He had that proud look on his face when he noticed Tony's reaction to his car.

"Sasha taught me the little I know." Anthony credited me.

"Anyways. Enough of the small talk. We got some guys who insist on beating up my little brother to visit." I said. I told Tony to ride with Leon, since he loved the car so much and I rode with Dominic.

When we pulled up to the school, I jumped out the Mazda and walked over to the Tony.

"Where are they?" I asked him. He pointed to a group of skater boys picking on yet, another young boy.

I led the team over to the skaters.

"Which one of you is Jonnie Marco?" I asked the group. Some punk in all black with spiked hair appeared at the head of the group.

"Who wants to know?" He asked, noticing the big men behind me.

"We do." I replied, nodding to my backup. "So I heard you been messing with my little brother." I said to him.

"Yeah. He's a punk. What you gonna do about it?" He replied, taking a step closer to me.

" Me? Nothing. But they might do something. Guys c'mere for a second." I called, waving them towards me.

"So this is the guy who's been beating up my litle man? Well you wanna hit somebody. Hit me." Dominic defended Tony.

The boy looked Dominic up and down and backed away. Dom got closer to him and grabbed him by his hood.

"Touch him again, and I'll break every bone in your body. Got that?" Dom threatned.

"Yeah man whatever." Jonnie said in a wimpy voice. Dom tossed him in his crowd of friends. They all just stood there watching us.

"Got a problem?" Leon growled at them. Just then, they scattered like mice down the road.

Wow, I never knew Leon was the 'scary' type.

"Those guys ever give you a hard time again, you tell me or one of the other guys and we'll handle it." Vince assured Tony.

A/N: That was probably a boring chapter but it will get interesting. Thanks for the reviews guys! You keep me goin!
