Lexi's pov:
"Lexi how do you know my dad and dad how do you know my girlfriend Lexi" hearing Jake call me girlfriend causes butterflies to erupt in my stomach,
totally forgetting about my siblings being in the same room. Questions starting arising so I cut everyone off began with my story, my past.
"At a young age my dad started teaching me how to fight, he taught me how to use a knife, to how to use a gun.
I already knew what my dad did as a job, but that was just his job, my dad was so much more than what others out their claimed him to be.
He cared for his family, always making sure we had everything we needed. He was my dad and I loved him no mater what"
my voice came out a bit raspy and the tears started rolling down my face more frequently but I don't stop,
"he was everything to me and my mum. He was my mums first and last love as she was his and he was my daddy and I was his little girl"
Looking around the room till my eyes fell on my siblings, I smiled and continued
"Before I was brought into this so 'happy world' my parents took in a lot of kids and treated them like they were there own.
My parents loved them like they were theirs and they loved my parents like they were there's too"
Walking over to them, I began introducing them from oldest to youngest starting with Gabe.
"This is my oldest brother Gabriel, he's what you call the alpha of the pack. Always protecting us and putting us first before himself.
This is my brother Damon. Second oldest in the family, he's the beta. Keeping everyone safe and always there to talk too when it's most needed.
This is my brother Matt. Third oldest in the family, he's the strategic one. He's the one with the master mind, that comes up with the big plans, that never fail us.
This is my brother Leighton. Fourth oldest in the family, he's the guy you can't lie to.
In other words he's the observer, he can pick out a lie. And Oh want to know a cool fact? just by one look he will know everything there is to know about you and that's were your doomed.
This is my brother Troy. Fifth oldest in the family, he's the hacker, computer hacker to be exact.
If you're wondering how good of a hacker he is. Lets just say it takes 3 seconds for him to hack into the government system.
This is my brother Kendrick. Sixth oldest in the family, he's the go to guy. When you need advice for anything, he's the guy you're looking for.
This is my beautiful sister Sam. She's the seventh oldest in the family. She's like an older version of me.
This is my brother Felix. The eighth oldest in the family. He's what you call, the guy that doesn't hold back, when he's in the fighting ring.
And lastly, my brother before me. Mr Remmy himself in person. He's the guy that's fast behind wheels" I chuckle at the reaction of my friends faces, but carry on.
"I was brought into this world, surrounded by the people I love. Felix became apart of our family when I was 14, but that doesn't mean I love him any less.
He's still my older brother and I love him like I love the rest of my family" I watch the tears fall from my families eyes.
"So I guess you're probably wanting to know how I Know Jakes father? Well thing is I never knew he was your father.
I had only met him a few times due to dad's work and I knew him as uncle Diego's, dad's best friend and brother in arms.
So trust me I was as surprise as you guys were too. I'm not to sure about my elder brother, I think they've met you when you were a baby or some sought" I watched Jakes face scrunch up with confusion.
"Anyways I'm pretty sure your father has filled you in on how he became the leader" I watched as they all nodded their head while Britney sent me a smile to encourage me.
"Yes, my fathers best friend was a gang leader and the most feared man out! He helped my father out and passed the role to him"
the nervousness in the pit of my stomach slowly faded when Jake spoke with awe as he spoke about my father.
"Even though I missed out a few years with my father, I'm honored that my father was given his role.
I say my father is one mother fcuker to be best friends with the famous gang leader" You could hear the envy in his voice.
I was about to carry on, but Troy cut in saying "I think our father would have liked you, if he knew you were dating our baby sister"
Damn you Troy, they looked more at eased before you had to open your damn mouth! Great now they look like they just shat their pants.
"Waaaait wh-aaat?" "Aaa ah llllll-exi whaaaat does heeee mmeaan?" "Lllexiii?" "Lee-xxxx-I whoooos yoooour faaa-thhheer?"
Damn they all sound like a bunch of stuttering idiot.
"Please, I respected you guys while you told your story it is only fair you pay the same respect as I share mine" with that they shut their mouths and waited for me to carry on.
"I am the only blood child of Dominico and Maria Gonzales. My name is Alexis Maria Gonzales" I say with pride.
"Anyways I'm pretty sure uncle Diego mentioned the asshole that tried breaking my parents apart" I spoke with so much hatred remembering the shit he did to them.
"Yep well he wouldn't accept the fact that our mum loved our dad and she would always pick him without questions.
I mean they were each other's first kiss, first happiness and first love. They loved each other so much my dad stepped down from his role to be with our mother"
at this point I knew I was crying due to my tears pouring down my face and the quivering in my voice, but that didn't stop me.
"I had the best family, the best siblings and the best parents in the world. I had everything. But fairy tale endings are only in books"
"When I was 13, me, mum and dad were on our way back home from shopping.
We were taking a turn when suddenly we were hit off the road. I blacked out from the impact as we smacked into a tree" *breath
"I woke up to my father screaming at someone. That very moment I opened my eyes, I regretted it!
The fcuker was torturing my parents! He made me watch, while he killed my parents!"
"He was about to kill me when the cops turned up and arrested him" I turned away from their faces and look outside the window.
"Before Marco took our parents. He tried taking over the streets, Our dad worked so hard for!
the kids on the street no longer had a place to call home, they no longer had a life of freedom.
Marco destroyed their lives. He destroyed innocent lives" shit I'm getting pissed, fcuk calm yourself Lexi. I waited a little before I carries on.
"After my parents death. I completely lost myself. I turned to alcohol and drugs, they became my medication.
I became emotionless, to the point where, I never stopped till my opponent was dead in the fighting ring.
Don't worry the men I killed were bad, they were either rapist or killers themselves" I reassure my friends.
"I became number 1 in both street racing and fighting, I became the undefeated.
And to be honest a bit of me was proud, where as the other half I couldn't help but feel guilty"
"At first everyone feared me. They only thought of me as a cold heartless killer.
But just like my father, they got to know me for me and respected me as I respected them"
"I earned their respect, therefore they deserved mine. We became a family and that's exactly how I wanted it to be. In honor of my fathers hard work"
"I was still emotionless when it came to protecting my family and getting rid of my enemies.
At times I would slip back and drink till I drop and get high till I closed my eyes"
"All in all only one person, one guy could bring me back from darkness" my voice started shaking. I knew this was going to be hard to say, but I need to tell them.
Taking a deep breath in, I slowly release it "he was my first love" my eyes wandered a little before they found Jakes
"he was apart of my family too, but ever since I was little there was always something there, something more than family love.
It was different with him. I didn't look up to him like he was one of my older brothers.
When mum and dad passed away, he was the only that could bring me back from darkness. He was the only one that could get through to me.
That year our feelings for one another became clearer and eventually he had the guts to ask me out"
I chuckled at the memory of the blushing teen asking me out with a sheepish grin. Ahhh how much I miss him.
"From then on I couldn't be more happier. Being with the guy I loved and surrounded by my loving family.
But just like my parents ending story, there's always asshole that loves to ruin your happy ending"
I aggressively wipe the tears on my face and carry on "Marco's son was obsessive with me.
He would follow me and send me letters, he would get his gang to threaten mine. He would even try getting people on the streets to turn against me.
He was greedy just like his own father, he wanted nothing but power to run my street.
And obviously he was a stupid fcuk, because that's not how things work on my streets. You don't threaten people to get them to bow down at your feet!
You give them a reason to follow you. You earn their respect! That's how you become the leader of the streets, that's how you run the streets!!!"
By now my voice was cracking, my heart started aching and the tears came rolling down uncontrollably.
*Flash back (to that night)
" nena por favor no lloran (baby please don't cry) how can he say this to me. Looking down at my love, and watching the life in him draining, I couldn't help but cry out for help.
"I'm so sorry, I am so sorry" I cry out.
"sólo abrázame en tus brazos mi amor" (just hold me in your arms my love). I held him tighter In my arms, to afraid to let him go.
I can't lose him, I won't lose him!!! Snapping me out of my thoughts, I listened to him as he spoke with love and care "mi amor, por favor, seguir adelante y ser feliz" (my love, please move on and be happy)
"Stop talking like that Dante, please!" I screamed. But he carried on "sé mi amor. Lo sé. no quiero dejar. no quiero dejarte" (I know my love. I know. I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave you)
"No you are not leaving me! Dante! Do you understand me! We are getting out of here together and alive!"
I felt him tug at my fingers and I closed my eyes not wanting to open them. I couldn't look him in the eyes.
Not when I knew deep down in my it'll be the last time I see those caramel eyes. The very eyes that made my heart melt.
"Mírame mi amor, enséñame esos hermosos ojos" (look at me my love, show me those beautiful eyes) I hesitated a bit before I opened them.
I let out a loud whimper. And started begging him to hold on "please Dante, just hold on a little longer. They'll be here soon. You'll be okay"
my voice cracked and it was getting harder for me to speak with out choking on my words.
This isn't fair! First my parents and now my love?
I pulled Dante's body closer to mine and rested his head on my chest. Rocking him back and forth. I began to sing our song.
"I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows we were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared and then I was all alone
I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you" I couldn't carry on. My voice was getting shakier by the second.
I tried covering my mouth as more whimpering came out, but Dante stopped me while holding my hands in his.
Turning his head so I can see his face, he voiced what I couldn't speak.
"mi amor, estaré bien"(my love, I'll be okay) "I know you are hurting. But I need you to promise me. No mater what! You will fight!
You hear me! You mean the world to me, you are my heart, I gave it to you and only you. Please move on from me I don't want you holding back because of the love we shared.
I want you to be happy my love, that's all I've ever wanted. Was for you to be happy"
Suddenly I felt Dante's caressing hands, gently cup my cheeks and wipe away my falling tears.
Bringing my face down till I was face to face with him. Whispering "te quiero tanto Alexis Maria Gonzale" before he places his lips upon mine.
Deepening the kiss. I savored every moment of it knowing it'll be the last.
Hearing him whisper with his last breath "goodbye my love" broke my heart in a million ways.
*End of flashback
"That night I wanted revenge. I wanted his blood. I wanted their blood and I was going to make them, Him suffer! For all I cared.
I was livid. I was hungry for the kill and I had thirst for their blood! I was going to kill them, slowly and painfully and no one was going to stop me!
And that's exactly what I did. One by one I went after his men, picking them up and dropping their bodies at every base they had.
One by one they went. Till I was left with Mr Miguel himself. I made his death the most painfullest one.
Not only did he take away my first love, but he was the one that sent his guys to kill my family. No one hurts my family and gets away with it, no one!"
Through the whole time I didn't realize that everyone had stopped crying and were now wearing their emotionless faces.
Jake's pov:
Listening to Lexi, talk about another guy was heart breaking. Especially the fact that, she loved someone else other than me.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy in my chest to know that I wasn't going to be her first. But that won't stop me from being her last.
I now know her past, which is both beautiful and haunting, and I accept her for who she is.
Oh and I will never try to piss her off either, not when her brother Matt whispered in my ear telling, me she snapped a guys neck in less thn a fcuk'n second!
Shit man now I understand why she's the most feared chick, coz honestly judging from the stories her brothers keep whispering about.
My girl will send one punch, just one and you'll be fcuk'n KO!
I watched her sway from one leg to the other. I could tell she was waiting on our reaction, so I got up and stood in front of her.
Finally reaching her I placed her in my arms and inhaled her sweet scent "I'm so proud of babe, you are so strong" I then kissed her on top of her head and was about to pull her for another hug when suddenly she was stripped out of my hold.
And do you want to guess who it was by? Yep you guessed right. Britney pulled her in for a tight hug and told her how proud she was for sharing her past with us.
Aww how cute,
um okay that's enough now Britney! I think you're hogging my girlfriend now
Ahh finally she let go, I can have my girl back. I was about to pull Lexi into my arms when once again I was interrupted.
And what do you know all my boys are fighting over who gets to hug her.
I'm pretty sure Lexi's sibling were finding it funny that I was getting annoyed because they were snickering and laughing at me every time I was about to get Lexi and have her swiped out of my hand.
Damn fools these boys are!
Aiden's pov:
I looked over to my brother and whispered "I think we know who to thank for setting us free of those monsters"
we both chuckled. Thinking back to the time we asked Diego, if he knew of our parents death, all he did was smirk. Haha well now I know why he was smirking, cause our little Lexi is our protecter.
I got to say I am pretty scarred of Lexi, but I know she considers us family and just like how I consider her family too.
Damon's pov's:
I'm proud of Lexi, so proud of how far she has come. All that needs to be done is a sweet talk to Mr Jake himself.
Sam's pov:
I'm so happy for my baby girl. Time to put Jake to test and see if he's any good for my baby.
Brody's pov:
After we hugged Lexi, I whispered a thank you. She smiled and kissed me on the cheek. I got to say I like this Lexi, I don't think I'm ready to see the monster type yet.
Lucas's pov:
All I can say is. Lexi is one of a kind and she is the rarest to find. I'm truly thankful to have her apart of my life and family.
She has done so much for me and the boys, fcuk she has done so much for a lot of people, yet she has suffered in the most painful way.
Nothing stops her from fighting for her loved ones, fcuk no! She just fights harder and never backs down. I'm proud to say Lexi is one of my best friends, she is my little sister.
Gabriel's pov:
Me and the others couldn't stop laughing, every time Jake goes to reach for Lexi. She just gets pulled into another hug by his friends. Haha his face was just priceless.
I know judging by the way he looks at her, he loves her, damn we can all see it. I can see it with Lexi too.
But I know deep down she's still holding tight on to our boy and that's what I'm afraid of.
I'm afraid she won't be able to move on. I just hope she can see the love her and Jake share and go with it.
I know I should be the over protective brother, which I am. I just don't think we'll need to worry.
Judging by the looks on their faces when Lexi was telling them everything.
Trust me one little slip from that boy and I'll snap his neck, I'm pretty sure uncle Diego will give me his approval.
Hey guys :) I hope you guys like this chapter. It is short :( I hope everyone has fab week :)
