Making a Mafia

chapter 09

Maya POV

I walk into Coco's house after my day with Lucifer all I can think about is what he told me. He wants me by his side as he runs his organization can I be down for him is all I think. Coco looks at me as she sits in the living room watching the movie White Chicks as she says "what's wrong Maya?" I walk to the couch sitting down 'nothing much I'm just deep in thought" is all I say I trust Coco with my life but this isn't information that I can just share so freely and it's not my information to tell. I think she deserves to know is all I think so I plan on talking with Lucifer about that. "Trey went in for some extra shifts he won't tell me but we owe the bank like 60 k they threatened to take the house" is all she says with sadness laced in her voice and that broke my heart I have made good money from working this week but definitely not 60 thousand dollars. "Don't worry Coco I can help you out" i have over 95 thousand stashed all through my house is all I think as I speak.

I get up "I will have to go home to get it" is all I say but that shouldn't be a problem it's been almost three weeks since that whole issue and hopefully they are too high to bother me. All I know is I will not let my best friend lose the only home she has ever known not if I can do anything about it. She sits up sniffling "thank you so much Maya but you don't have to do that me and Trey will figure it out." I cut my eyes at her as I say "how many times have you and Trey been there for me you two are like family now what kind of person would I be if I wouldn't help out my family when I have way more than that." She sighs "I promise to pay you back with interest" is all she says as she gets up to hug me and I hug her back. I walk upstairs to grab my bag so I can pick up some clothes while I'm there. I think as I grab my all black Nike gym bag walking downstairs "I will be back in 15 minutes or so" is all I say as I walk out the door.

I should have known that my parents were going to see me and start their same bull shit. It takes me 5 minutes to get home I put my key into the lock opening the door. I look around to see the house is a mess just disgusting and it stinks of drugs. The arguing I heard in the living room stopped when they heard the door open. I stepped in even though half of me wanted to run the voice in my head saying leave... now! But I couldn't listen not now! not when my real family needed me. Once I walk in my mother walks up to me back handing me hard "how dare you run to your little friends house!" The force from her hit made my head fly to the side I could feel the blood dripping from my lip. She slapped me again this time harder "stop!" Is all I yell out "you guys do drugs all day long you don't even fucking work all you do is beat me the only one that is actually taking care of this fucking place!" I yell out I finally had enough, enough of being their punching bag, tired of working to keep this house together and also going to school. I'm tired of being scared to come home and I'm so damn tired of them!

Before I could get another word out my mothers husband came up behind me grabbing me by my hair. "You stupid little bitch don't talk to your mother like that!" Is all he yells then he throws me into the wall my head slams into the wall and I slide down I begin to cry out in pain. He walks to me laughing "awe look at the little dog crying like the b!tch she is" he picks me up by my hair punching me in the face. My eye sight becomes blurry "get off of me" is all I cry out but That just makes him angry and he begins to choke me as he cusses at me. I could feel my airways trying to squeeze in air but it was to no avail. I could see tiny dots forming I swung my fist hitting him in the stomach. I fall to the floor gasping for air I hear him yell out calling me a stupid b!tch. I got up to run but he was faster right when my foot hit the step I felt him grab me slamming me to the floor. I could feel the pain searing through my body as I hit the floor. My cellphone begins to ring but I can't get to it to answer it since it's by the door
Where this all began. He laughs "you think you are going to make something out of yourself and leave here you think you're so much better than me and your mother but your not...your scum little girl and I'm going to show you how beneath us you are." He looks to his friend Timothy he was a short fat man that is known to sleep with dealers for drugs it's been said that he may have a few STDs.
