It's silent. I sit with my back against a tree. The tears fall down my cheeks. Not even the crickets dare to creak.
The only sound you hear is small.
Its my heart, tearing. Slowly and painfully.
I let out a sob. I hadn't cried this hard since my mom died.
I loved her but not how I loved Liam.
I knew we moved fast but something was there.
And know he's dead.
And I caused it.
I caused his death.
I was his weakness.
I was the cause.
I won't have a weakness.
I won't have someone else be the cause.
I won't love again.
I know what I have to do.
I stand up and wipe the tears from my eyes.
I won't let my self show weakness.
I won't feel.
I'll be a cold hearted, a force to not be reckoned with.
The devils laugh.
The tip of the blade.
The leader of the Mafia.

I barge into the office without knocking.
"I'm taking over Tony," I say
. My voice emotionless.
"Huh?" He looks at me confused.
"I'm taking over, I will take Liam's spot." I say.
"Not happening Tesoro, it's to dangerous," Al says.
"You think I don't know that?" I ask. "My fiancé died because of the job. Actually he died because of me. I'm not going to sit around and mope. I loved him he loved me we were supposed to get married. My job would be to help run the mafia. Now that he is dead I will be taking his spot. It's what he would have wanted." I say.
My voice saying there was no room for discussion.
"But-" I cut him off.
"No, it's happening Alejandro, don't test me," I say.
He nods.
I look at Tony.
Tony and Al are starring each other.
They both look nervous.
"Bro don't get your thong in a bunch, I don't want this job. I'm already sore to death doing yoga. This job is to stressful," Tony says trying to lighten the mood.
I nod.
"You have to throw a gala to announce though," he says.
I nod again.
I can throw a gala.
That's easy.
"And you know, convince the parents," shit I forgot about that.
"Well they don't get a choice," I say.
"They gave the title to you and you just okayed me having it. They'll just have to deal with it themselves." With that I exit.
*****
I slipped on my black half dress half romper.
It was skin tight but had a flowy cape thing in the back. It had long sleeves and had a ring around my neck. I paired it with wedge combat boots. I don't wear heals.
