Synopsis
When I was fourteen years old, I killed for the
first time. That day I learned cruelty wasn’t only within the walls we had just
escaped.
It hasn’t been easy growing up in the middle of a
war. A struggle to find shelter. Fighting to protect our bodies against the
corruption of the streets. Nobody cared about the street kids who had to beg
and steal to eat.
We are the Portland Street Kings – A family forged
through loyalty not blood. To get through this life of broken dreams alive,
we’ve become hard, uncaring and merciless. We do what must be done to keep our
family safe, we will harm those who stand against us.
We have it all, feared and respected by those on the
streets. Then she collided into my world, and with her came demons from my
past, back to haunt us all.
Excerpt
“What
if I already have, brotha? What if she’s already dead?” Rex’s grin is devilish,
one I know all too well. He got to her.
I
push off him, hard, causing Rex to slump to the ground roughly. My chest
explodes and my whole world falls apart. I look around me at the people
staring, at the dust in the air, at the cars in the distance.
Piper.
I
grab for my chest at the exact moment I know my heart plummets to my stomach,
as if I thought I could catch it first.
My
mind is screaming at me to get to Piper to try to save her, but my panic is
holding me back. Laughing at me, taunting me, reminding me that I actually
thought I could let her go when really I can’t even bear the thought of living
in a world where she doesn’t exist.
In
a blur, I hear Pace yelling that the home phone isn’t connecting. I look to see
Rex on the ground, laughing, almost cackling.
In
a split second, the harsh world comes back into focus and I see everything for
what it is: a world where I never win, where I’ll always be the underdog.
I
look to Rex and growl, "I told you why I did it! Why your father had to
die. He was a rapist, and he deserved to die. Now you've gone
after my girl? I can't let you walk away from this." I look down to him
with what I'm sure are black eyes, murder running through my veins. I feel it
pumping through my blood like worms sucking me dry. "If you’ve gone after
her, if she’s hurt, you better run," I growl. "You better run fucking
fast, because I'm coming for you. I'm coming for you and your whole fucking
crew. By the end of the day, I'm gonna to be washing your blood from my body
and laughing. Laughing because your daddy still controls you even after his
death. You won't take off your fucking rose-colored glasses and see him for
what he was, a fucking sadistic asshole!" I end on a roar.
