Page 61 of Lani

If it was just me, I would have opened the door and fought them, but I won’t chance opening the door and them shooting Lani.

I would fucking die if something happened to her or my babies. I just don't think I could overcome it.

I climb over Lani, trying to start the truck in hope we can drive out of here, but it doesn’t even turn over.

Fuck, we’re stuck.

I reach up and hit the buttons to signal to the MC that I’m in deep shit. Luckily this truck is fucking indestructible or Lani could have been seriously hurt.

Freddy grabs a rock, trying to break out the window. It splinters; it’s already fucking messed up from rolling around down the hill.

Andrea pushes Freddy, screaming, and takes the gun from him, shooting the window over and over, and the inside of the truck’s glass splinters.

Fuck, they’re about to break through.

“Angel, I have to end this. I can’t allow them to break in and get you.” I take Lani’s face in my hands. “Move into the back seat and lie down, okay?”

I know she won’t listen to me, but I can fucking hope that she does

Tears spill down her face, torturing every part of me. I kiss her softly, trying to memorize her kiss in case this is the last time I’ll ever get to kiss her.

“Please, Vinny, don’t leave me! It won’t break.” She grabs my shirt, trying to hold on as tight as she can.

Fucking tearing my heart open.

I gently pry her fingers off my shirt. “I love you, sweet girl.”

Her face pales and I close my eyes, opening the door. I step out and hit the lock button, slamming the door shut before they can catch it.

Andrea screams at the top of her lungs like a fucking banshee, and both of them run straight towards me.

“Come on, stupid motherfuckers, let me see what you have!” I yell at them, more than pissed off.

Lani

My worst fear is unfolding in front of my eyes. Vinny should have stayed in the truck with me.

I wish I could have held him and kept him with me.

I’m dying inside. They’re running straight for him when three dudes come out of nowhere and I know right off the bat they aren’t the MC guys.

My stomach sinks.

No, please.

Vinny looks over just as all five of them attack him at once. I cover my mouth in horror as the four guys try to punch, kick and stomp him into the ground.

Vinny is giving them hell, hitting them all one by one, knocking them back over and over. Andrea comes up out of nowhere with a rock, hitting Vinny on the side of the head.

Vinny hits the ground like a ton of bricks, and he’s out immediately.

“NOOO!” I scream at the top of my lungs, my heart shattering in two.

I push open the door and one of the men grabs ahold of me, pulling me out of the truck. “Unhand her! You won’t hurt her.” Freddy pushes the guy off of me, and I bend over, checking on Vinny.

“Get the van!” Andrea yells.

“Baby,” I plead to him, rubbing his cheek.
