Breaking and making deals



I walked through the school halls keeping my head down as usual putting my head down trying to stay invisible. It is usual for me to be invisible it is how I like it. My cousins on the other hand are a different story. Sophie and Rebecca are the popular girls in the school and basically make everyone worship them just because they are Moretti's. I roll my eyes as I see them looking at me and giggling to each other. Sometimes I wish I could give them a piece of my mind and rip their fake eyelashes off. But for the respect of uncle Luke, I will try to refrain myself as much as possible.

"Hey, babe." I turned to Olivia giving her a tight smile as I shoved my backpack in my locker but I didn't let go of my duffel bag. "hi." I don't know if I can classify Olivia as my friend but every time I come to school she is always excited to greet me. "so, what were you up to last night? Do you have any plans for the weekend?" she fired her questions quickly and I gave her a questionable look. "nothing and I have plans with a friend this weekend." Her lips turned into a frown but she then quickly turned them into her usual bright smile.

I have never had any trouble with lying and tricking people. After all it is practically in my job description to trick and deceive people. People take my lies always with so much ease and no faults. It makes my life easy but then there is always that sinking feeling in my stomach each time I do it. I have done it so often that now I don't even know what I am lying about.

"Oh, that is great! I have nothing to do but that is just me and my boring life." She laughed shrugging it off. The air around us grew awkward, a part of me wanted to invite her over. But I already have enough problems to deal with. I smiled through the awkwardness hoping to god that she ends this uncomfortable conversation soon. "well I should get going, but it was nice seeing you, Olivia." She waved and smiled sheepishly as she walked away. I frowned as I caught the sad look what washed over her face. I let out a heavy sigh and then I grabbed my bag what was filled with everything.

I walked quickly keeping my head down and dodging all of the students. "HEY!" I felt a hand grab my shoulder and I whipped around seeing dumb and dumber themselves. "Yes?" they scowled and folded their arms around their small chests. "where are you going?" Sophie asked glancing to my black duffel bag. "to class." I shrugged it off and sent them a glare.

"Then why do you have a bag," Rebecca asked going to my bag. I slapped her hand away harshly and shifted my bag onto my other shoulder. "As I said I am going to class and the reason I have a bag is none of your business." They both pouted and tried once again to snatch my bag from me. I had enough and slapped their hands away using some of my built strength.

"OWIE," Sophie whined as she clutched her hand with tears brimming in her eyes. "I am telling," Rebecca replied in a bratty voice crossing her arms. I rolled my eyes then sent her a pathetic look. "I don't care what you two choose to do in your pathetic time, now excuse me I am going to class." I walked away from them and I could already hear them sobbing dramatically making a scene in front of everyone. I walked out to the back of the school making sure the coast was clear but before I went any further something caught my eye.

I had never been so angry in my life, I threw my bag to the ground and stormed to the bleachers with strong fists. As soon as I got there I shoved my stupid cousin out of the way.

"HEY!"

"what do you think you are doing bitch!"

I ignored them and sent my little cousin a death stare before ripping out the rolled-up drug from his mouth and threw it to the ground. His eyes turned into pitch black and he pushed me away harshly. "what do you think you are doing!" he yelled at me.

"ME!? what the hell do you think you are doing?" I yelled at my cousin getting ready to give him the scolding of his life. I have seen Ben hanging out with these people before but I had no idea they were just a bunch of kids doing drugs. His friends snickered and eyed me up and down licking their lips. "Hey! stop looking at her like that," Ben growled at them before grabbing me by my arm pushing me aside.

"look." He started then took a deep breath. His eyes were all dilated and I could smell the smoke all over him. Right now, this person was not my cousin and the only person he reminded me of was tony. "you can't tell my family, please." He begged pleading to me and for the first time, I see Ben differently. He wasn't the usual happy cocky self he had always been instead he had sadness in his eyes. My anger had all vanished and instead of yelling which I think he expected I hugged him tightly.

"please tell me you will stop I won't tell them now. But you need to tell them yourself eventually." He smiled widely and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer. "thank you so much, angel." I smiled at him and pushed his little hairs out of his face.

"It's ok but we will be talking about this further so don't think you are off the hook." I narrowed my eyes and he nodded in defeat. "alright so get to class." He rolled his eyes and started to walk defeatedly back to the school building.

"Wait where are you going?" He questioned as he saw me stopping suddenly. "I needed to meet coach he wanted to talk to me." He looked at me for a brief moment before shrugging it off and walking inside. I already knew Jace was going to kill me I am now ten minutes late and we are probably both going to face some consequences.

I jumped in the back seat throwing my bag inside. "where the hell where you! it has been ten fucking minutes." Jace growled as he started the car. I slapped him across the head and began opening my car. "Look I am sorry I got held up." He shook his head as he started driving. I quickly started to get ready as Sparrow feeling the same fear as he did. Being late is never a good thing especially when it is Boss you are seeing. You could be only five seconds late and he would still get Tony to deal with you. And Tony takes every chance he gets to release his sadist bloodthirst.

As I finished getting ready I gave Jace sympathetic smile. "I am sorry Jace, don't worry I will take the fall for this once. He softened his eyes and sighed defeatedly. "no don't I was just worried. Remember nothing will break the partner in crime duo." He laughed only giving me more guilt with his forgiveness.

"Your late." As soon as we walked in through the office door Boss met as with his cheery smile. "I am sorry." I was already ready to make the plead of my life. He chuckled as he saw mine and Jace's worried looks. "It's ok children... all is forgotten."

But it wasn't forgotten.

"so why did you want to see us?" I asked but as soon as I asked I wanted to rip my own tongue out as soon as Boss gave me that look. "well my angel I wanted to actually just talk with you." Jace's hand tightened around mine and we both stared frightenedly at his demonic eyes. "No, it's o-." I tightened my grip around his hand and shot him a warning look. Boss held an emotionless gaze while Tony looked lethal.

"Tony." Boss nodded towards Tony as Jace made no action to move. I gave him a pleading look and with some more hesitation he stood up. He walked out of the room after giving a slight glare to Tony. "Now that the sidekick is gone, let's get down to business." He sat up kicking back his seat and sat in the seat where Jace only moments ago sat.

I watched his every move while fidgeting with my hoodie not trusting anything at this moment. "You know angel sometimes I really wish you didn't have to wear this silly costume." He brushed his hands across my cheek looking directly in my eyes as he licked his lips. "but I have too." I corrected making him chuckle.

"yes, my little angel." He smiled at me sucking in a breath. The uneasiness swarmed inside of me wanting to curl up into a small ball. But I can't, if they see one sign of weakness they will use that against you.

"you know angel I really don't want to kill you." I gave him an unexpected look and frowned. "I neither want to kill Jace nor your family."

"Then don't." I blurted and immediately felt a large sting on my right cheek. "don't interrupt me, stupid girl." He growled lowly only causing a light eruption of laughter in the corner of the room.

"As I was saying I have a deal proposition for you." My heart nearly leapt out of my chest as I stared at him with hopeful eyes.

"you always have had your mothers beauty." I tried not to grimace as he lifted my chin. "and her eyes." I felt vomit rise in the back of my throat and I gripped the armrests with all my strength.

He cleared his throat and sat up out of the seat walking back to his own which managed to ease some of my nerves. "what was the proposition." My hood was ripped back and Tony looked down at me his eyes glistening with a deadly thirst. "stop talking." He spat. "only talk when you are spoken too." He picked me up by my hoodie letting my feet dangle from the ground as he brought his face closer to mine. I tried squirming out with fearful eyes. He smirked and his eyes were now swimming in a pool full of lust. His movements were quicker than lightning as his hands quickly wrapped around my throat squeezing tightly letting all the air in my lungs disappeared. I tried to claw his hands with my nails but it didn't work it only drew him further. I then looked at Boss with begging eyes but he was only enjoying the show as he took another sip of his whiskey. White dots started to form in my eyes and the pain in my chest was increasing rapidly.

"tony."I could hear Boss say Tony's name trying to break him out of his trance. No movements were made and the blood what was rushed to my head started to make my eyes feel heavy.

"Tony," Tony smirked once more before dropping me to the ground. I clutched my throat trying to catch as much air as possible. My lungs burnt as I coughed and coughed. My vision was all fuzzy and when I looked down at my hands with blood covering them my heart dropped with terror. Boss got up from his seat and calmly walked to Tony who was smirking down at me. "when I warn you to stop." His swing was swung directly to Tony's nose breaking it in seconds. Tony looked down at the blood what was dripping from his nose. His grin only grew wider and he chirped an apology before sitting back down in his seat chuckling to himself.

Boss kneeled in from of me wiping the blood off from the corner of my lips. "I am prepared to end this deal and I am only willing to do so if you do something for me." I looked at him sceptically raising an eyebrow.

"become my wife and stand beside me."
