While working at the laundry, my dad had me going back and forth mopping and even helping anyone who needed help. My eyes glanced over at this beautiful, breathtaking young girl. Her lips were full and luscious. Her eyes were very gloomy, thats when I think my heart melted.
She looked at me restlessly dropping the bag while blowing out a lump of air “Hey can you help me with this bag?”
She looked at me restlessly dropping the bag while blowing out a lump of air “Hey can you help me with this bag?”
I looked at her with a smirk on my face “Sure.”
She smiled at me and gave me a little touch on my shoulder “Thanks dude.”
I want to get to know her, I want to know her name, I’m too scared to ask though. What if she thinks I’m weird? I felt as though I should become her friend this summer. I really needed someone to be with this whole entire summer.
The rest of the time she was there listening to music bumping her head to the beats. I kept staring, not in the creepy way, but just so she could get my attention. I strolled towards her while sitting "What's the name of the song you're listening to?"
She pulled out her headphones "Oh just this song by Bruno mars, I'm sure you won't know it!"
She was right, I wouldn’t know because I don’t even listen to Bruno Mars "What do you mean? Tell me, I bet you a dollar I’ll know it."
“Locked out of heaven”, she said confidently.
I didn't know that song but because I wanted this conversation to go on, I went along as if I knew the song “Oh- I know that song, I always hear it on the radio, I love it!”
She looked really surprised “Oh really? He has a free concert coming up! I wanna go really bad but my dad probably would say no.
I knew her dad would say no. Her dad was some mean carib guy, I use to be scared of him when I was younger, because he always started problems with my dad pushed him around. My dad was never the type to fight someone. I remember he would always came to the laundromat starting problems with everyone and all my dad could do was scream “detener la locura” really loud. I know it would be a problem if I tell my dad I like his daughter and want to hang with her. He would yell and tell me to be careful. I probably don’t know what I’m getting into anyway.
She eased closer “So what do you do here everyday?” “I just stare and do what I’m told, it gets really boring here”
“Wow you should do fun stuff then!”
Maybe now is the time to ask what is her name, I’m such a punk. I never really spoke to a girl that I like. All I can think about is how her dad would approach me he’s very dangerous but his daughter is beautiful and has a wonderful personality so maybe I should really go for it.

“Sometimes I try to do fun stuff, but it just entertains me for about 5 min”.
“OMG that’s just like me, I get bored easily”.
“What’s your name?” she took the words out of my mouth, well we said it at the same time.
“What’s your name?” she took the words out of my mouth, well we said it at the same time.
She stared awkwardly “You go first!”
I was blushing a lot my cheeks go so red, I had a smirk on my face “Well I’m Sammy.”
“I’m Rena, nice to meet you.” she said while stretching over for a hug.
“So how old are you?” I asked, shocked at my bravery. “18.” “Cool, well, I’m about to be 18.” we both laugh.
Rena is such a wonderful person. That day I made sure I got her number. We talked on the phone every-night till morning. I mean it is the middle of summer and there's not much to do. Everyday we would meet up and make plans to do whatever. We got so close that one rainy day we did something that we wasn't suppose do, it just happened. Not to sound like a creep, I loved it. I’m Spanish and her dad is carib. My family does not mix with his kind, because of an event that happened way back in the day, if he finds out we've been creeping together its not going to be a good look.

One day at the laundry, I was in my dad's office eating lunch and I saw Rena's dad storming in yelling
"where's that punk!" My heart was racing, I had a feeling he was looking for me. I called my dad from the basement "he is out there" my dad automatically knew who and what I was talking about. He told me to go in the basement, and my dad went out to calm him down and asked what was going on.
I called Rena, to tell her that her dad was here at the laundromat and he was very upset, she sounded very scared and helpless;
"We have to go!"
"Whatchu mean we have to go Rena?"
"My dad… He's… he found out about us!"
"Hello? Sammy"
I was speechless and I didn't know what to say I sneaked out the basement door and went home to pack my bag. I didn't know what went on upstairs or if something is still going on. Honestly I didn't even care at the moment. All I could've think about was Rena and her dad. I knew Rena would come looking for me. I heard a knock on my door, it was my dad. He told me that everything is alright now.
"Na dad, you know everything is not alright, he's gonna come back and try to kill me, I gotta go!"
"Son, just stay, I’ll make sure he doesn't touch you, please!"
"I love you dad"
I didn't want to hear anything. I left, I'm going away I don't know for how long or where I'm going, but I'm out. I was really paranoid. I kept calling Rena but no answer. I just hope her dad did not hurt her or lock her up.
"Psst, Sammy"
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, my dad is going nuts, he's out looking for us we got to go far away"
"I really… Uh I love you"
Before she said what she wanted to say, I roughly kissed with passion, I didn't want to let her go.
"No I love you"
"No I love you"
Her dad came in his black SUV driving up, he had a gun in his hand, I didn't really think he was actually going to shoot because his daughter was with me. We were running for our lives.
"Rena! Rena! Stop right there!"
Pow Pow , shots were going everywhere I'm surprised I didn't get shot, I saw that Rena started hopping, I asked her if she was okay.
"Ahhhhhh- Sammy, My leg" she cried hopelessly
"No, no, no, no, this fucking idiot!"
Minutes later the car speeded away. Rena looked like she was dead,tears were just flowing down my face, "HELP, HELP, PLEASE!" I yelled, "SOMEONE PLEASE".
"Rena?"
“… get me to the hospital baby”
“Oh god, okay, okay I promise”
I picked her up quickly, I felt like I was hurting her, but at that moment I was all about saving her life. She kept whispering my name and how much she loved me. All I could’ve do was cry. I only knew her for about 7 weeks now. I felt like I knew her forever. My dad came out and I guess he figured what was going on.
“Sammy, put her in the back seat!”
My dad was so upset, he knew how much I liked Rena. Well he was also upset at her dad, why are you shooting at these young lives. My dad started speaking in Spanish I didn’t really understand but I’m sure it was something about the situation, while driving to the hospital Rena was grabbing my hand really tight. My dad pulled up angrily and cried for help. They took her and plugged her up to all those wires.
Hours passed and the doctor came out to tell my dad and I about what happened. He said that she would be okay, she got shot in the leg, thigh and also the arm. I asked that doctor if I could talk to her. He told me right now she’s in critical condition, and she’s asleep, so it would best if I comeback later. I slept in the hospital with my dad. I didn’t want to leave Rena here, because I already felt like half of this was my fault. That night I had a dream someone was running after me.

“Wakeup sir”
“…oh, hey good morning”
“Well its afternoon, Rena is feeling a little better, you can go visit her now”
“Thanks doc”
I rushed to her room to see her and there she was looking sexy as ever. I can tell she was very ashamed of the way she looked, but I loved it. She was so happy to see me.
“Sammy!”
“hey, hey, hey!”
“I don’t want you to see me like this”
“its okay, I’m not here to laugh at you, you’ll be better by next week”
“Hey… Sam when I get better, can we run far far away”
“Yeah, of course anything for you”
“I’m pregnant by the way”...
WHAT OH MY GOSH HOW DID SHE GET PREGNANT :O
