Jake's POV:

Knowing that something traumatizing happened to Athena again makes me sick it makes me wanna kill every person on this god for saken world, first her father leaving at a young age then her almost being kidnapped and god so many more things could have happened. I don't know how she's gonna be okay after this, I wouldn't be okay at all I don't know how she's gonna put on a fake face for New York.

What I'm I supposed to say to her mom ' I just saved your daughter from being raped' How I'm I supposed to say that.

I pull out my phone to call Anthony.

"Anthony, I need you to track my location and get here as fast as you can I need to talk to you" I demand over the phone

"Whatever you say boss"

I hang up on Anthony and get into my car where Athena is, I have so many questions but I don't wanna be an asshole

"I know you have questions" she finally breaks the silence "Ask away"

I turn my head to her and see her knees are up to her chest and you could see how terrified she was I start shaking my head "Are you sure, I don't have to ask you anything if your not ready"

"I'm gonna have to be ready, I can't go to New York all broken like this. I'm just gonna have to ignore the pain and have fun or at least try" Athena admits finally looking back at me

I shake my head while looking at her.

Her bruise's all over her neck and her chest, she had a huge back eye. It made me feel sick

looking at her made me wanna kill myself seeing her in pain made me so sad.

"No you should't have to fake it we can tell your mom about this then she will cancel the trip" I reply while grabbing her hands into mine when I did she flinched but she tried hiding it "Athena something crazy just happened to you, no one expects you to just be okay after something like this happens"

"No way, no fuck no we are not telling anybody about this. Fuck that I'll go to New York and be fucking fine. We are not telling my family shit. I faked my whole teenage years after my dad left I'll be fine doing it again. I'm not telling my mom about this, and you aren't either" Athena response while taking her hands out of mine

"Anthony is coming over here to deal with the bodies, so he's gonna know. But fine I'll respect you I won't tell anyone but Anthony and Mason I just don't know how your gonna be okay after all of this" I sighed

"Oh shit, I totally forgot. I murdered 2 people, shit shit shit I killed 2 people. I'm gonna go to jail shit shit shit!" Athena yells

She then starts to cry

"Jake shit shit what the fuck I'm I gonna go I just shot to people dead"

"Baby god lower your voice if you really don't wanna go to Jail. Don't worry about the body's I got it under control your not going to Jail I promise" I try lowering her voice

"Oh no don't baby me Jake what do you mean ' I got it under control 'and hold, why did you have a gun on you? Why aren't you scared I just killed someone for crying out loud two people in fact how the fuck do you have it under control" I could see how confused she was and that she was starting to get mad.

"Trust me I've got it under control, and for the gun. I always have a gun on me it's just a habit." I murmur under my breath.

before Athena could respond I see Anthony's corvette pull up. I get out of the car to go and see him

"Jake no tell me what the fuck-"  I cut off Athena by closing my car door

"The hell happened here boss" Anthony asks "Wait is that Athena in your car?"

"Yeah it is, it's a long story. Athena was riding her skate board as always and then these two assholes pulled up on her and-" I was cut off by my own voice cracking and not saying anything

I tried to speak but nothing was coming out

"What do you mean pull up on her, what the fuck did they do to her. Cause looking at her right now she looks like she was just beaten almost to death" Anthony starts yelling

"She was screaming for help, screaming my name. I didn't get here fast enough. When I got here they had already beat her, thank god they didn't do anything but they did try." I reply I can feel the hot tears in the back of my eyes but I refuse to let them out

"Anthony they tried Raping her" My voice cracks like I'm a 12 year old boy in the 6th grade

Anthony was speechless all you could see was the pain in his eyes

"When I got here I gave her my gun to shot the 2 guys, and she , she killed both of them." I sigh and start panting "Now she keeps asking me questions, questions I can not answer"

"Shit Anthony how the fuck I'm I gonna tell her I started a life of crime, and I'm a fucking Mob boss"

Anthony's eyes went big and his hand went over his mouth.

"Anthony what the fuck?-" I was cut off by Anthony nodding his head over to behind me

I then hear a voice behind me

"What the fuck"

I automatically knew who it was.

Shit...
