Best friends

Truth!

Angie POV
Okay. Honestly I'm scared. This been happening to Melody her whole life and she doesn't look scared at all. She mad as fuck.
"Babe, it's going to be okay." I whisper to her.
"You don't know how this ends. They always do this to me when I leave your house by myself." She whispers back.
I'm lost. I'm confused. I don't know why they want Melody. I know Melody not in a gang. And her dad died when we were young. Oh lord. Are they trying to recruit her?

"What the hell is going on then?" I whisper.
"Look, the truth is.."
"Hey, no talking." A guy across from us yells.
This isn't a car it's a limo. Melody and I are sitting right in the middle where a boss should sit.
"Talk to me like that again. And I'll make sure that your ballz get cut off." Melody says looking the guy right in the eyes.
"Look, little girl..." another guy says
"Stop calling me little girl! I'm not a little girl anymore. I know exactly what's going on! And besides think about it you calling me little girl makes you look bad, because you take orders from me too." Melody says.

Okay. There's something she's is keeping from me and today I'm going to find out what it is.
"Hey, don't disrespect Luca Bitch." A guy says sitting next to the guy who Melody threaten.
"Luca. He's new ain't he." Melody says with a smirk.
"Yeah." Luca says a little nervous.
"Why you letting this girl punk you? She's a nobody." The guy says.
"What's your name?" Melody ask really seriously.
"Oscar."

Melody nods her head at one of the guys and they hand her a gun. I look around the limo and I can tell the guys are scared. I look at Melody, she has a serious face expression but I can tell she's not going to use the gun.
She points the gun at Oscar's head, "Now you understand why they respect me."

The car comes to a stop in front of a warehouse. I look at my phone it's only 3:30. I almost forgot we got out early today. Our parents will be at my house at 9.
A group of guys comes to the limo and opens the door.
One guy says, "Get out the car, young lady."
I can tell she respects him cause she ask, "Do I have to?"
He looks at her and nods his head yes. She gets off and starts walking. And I'm right behind her.
"Hey, who are you?" One of the guys says holding me so that I don't move.
"Aye, let her go. She with me." Melody says walking back and grabbing me by the hand.
"I promise. It's going to be okay baby girl." She says not letting go of my hand.

She's never broken a promise and I don't expect her to break this one.
"If we don't make it out. Just know that I love you. Okay Babe." I tell her holding on to her.

"This way." The guys says.
"Tio, I know my way around." She says.
"I know, but last time I let you go by yourself you ran. You almost made it out too." He says laughing.
"I know. I like causing trouble for y'all. It's funny." Melody says giggling.
Okay. What the fuck just happened. Did she call him tio? Why did he take her like that? Is he the boss? That would make sense to why they don't talk back to Melody.

"Go on." He says giving Melody a little shove.
"I don't know." She says.
"You taking her with you?" He says.

Melody POV
"You taking her with you?" My tio says pointing at Angie.
"Yeah. Tio I want you to meet my best friend. Angie."
Angie looks lost as fuck. But she shakes his hand and puts a smile on. We start walk towards the last door.
"Okay, tell me what's going on." Angie whisper into my ear.
"I promise I will just wait till we get home. Please." I say to her before I open the door.
"That's a lot of promises in one day."

"Hello. It's nice to see you again. Oh and I see you brought a friend." The boss says.
"Yeah. Boss. I want you to meet my best friend Angie." I say.
"Don't call me that Melody," the boss says slamming his hands on the table.
Angie flinches a little at the noise. I don want her to be scarred at all.
"Okay, what do you want me to call you?"
"I'm your father! Probably. DAD!" He yells at me.

--knock knock--
"Nelson, there's been an attack at my house. My kids and wife were there at the time." My tio says.
"Let's go. Have a different car take them home." My dad says.
"Alright let's go. You heard the man." My Tio tells the others.
My dad gets up and starts to load a gun. My tio comes back into the room and takes us to a car.
I know the driver he's like my cousin.
"Hey Geo."
"Hey Melody haven't seen you in a while."
"It's probably cuz every time I come you getting sent out." I say to him.

I look through the corner of my eye to see Angie. And that little second that I saw her I could tell she was about to kill me. When Geo pulls up to Angie's house and stops Angie storms out. I'm a little scared to get out the car now.
"Damn, what you do to get her mad?"
"I introduced her to you." I say.
"Aight, stop trying to hurt my feelings and get out the car. Till next time cousin."
"Till next time." I say closing the doors.

Let's take a deep breath. In...out. In....ou.
"What the hell!!" Angie says walking out the house.
"Look, love let me explain."
"Explain what? That you lied to me all this time. And for what? To keep from telling me that your dad is alive. And a head of a gang. Oh wait or was it because your whole fucken family in one." She whispers firmly into my ear.
"Let's talk bout this inside please." I say.
"No. I'm going for a walk. I need to get away from you right now." Angie says her eyes looking glassy.
"Please", I say trying to grab her arm, " don't go let's talk bout it."
"The door is unlocked."
"Babe, please let me explain."
"Fine." Angie's says rolling her eyes and walking inside the house.

"My dad didn't die in a drive-by."
"Obviously."
"Let me finish alright. My dad is the head of a gang. Most of my family is in the gang. I didn't find out my dad was alive until three months ago. My mom lied to me to protect me."
"Protect you from what?! The truth. That your a daughter of a drug and gang leader."
"No. From the guy who thought he killed me when I was a baby. The rival gang leader. I'm always being watched because our parents don't want that to happen."
"Wait. Our parents?"
"Your mom, sorda knew."
"What!"
