Ya Está
We arrived at Galindos old place, the one that burned down. We saw dads truck, him and Dita. We all hopped off the bikes and walked our way to them. My dad had turned around to us.
"Nothing's gonna happen here. Go back to your bikes." We didnt care, we walked right through him. "EZ."
"The fuck do you want from us?" Angel asked Dita.
"Karma. One of you Reyes' has to help me right a wrong today. una madre para una madre." Dita stood there, looking at us.
"Jesus."
"I left notes for the people I love. They'll think it's a suicide. No blame will fall on anyone."
"I'll do it." Ez volunteered.
"No." My father yelled. We turned to him.
"She's got a can full of gas. She wants to burn." Angel pointed out.
"I'll do it." He said, making eye contact with the three of us.
"Ignacio could. Felipe cannot. It's okay, mi amor." She smiled at him. I rolled my eyes.
"He's not yours to call mi amor. He was never yours." I growled at her. Angel, Ez and I walked to my father, huddled in a circle.
"I was the one that pulled this thread. I have to end this." I looked at him, shaking my head.
"EZ, this is not you."
"It is pop."
"Then let me do it, i got no guilt. I can do it." I told them.
"Absolutely not." He yelled at me.
"I cant let you do that, you already have enough blood on your hands. Its gotta be me." My dad just shook his head. "Take him to the truck."
"Come on, Pop." Angel took my hands arm and walked him to the truck. I saw Ez, looking at Dita.
"Wait." I said as I grabbed his arm.
"Marisol." He whispers.
"Give me a minute." I told him. I walked up to Dita, backing up from every step i took.
"You're Marisol, you look like her. Im sorry for what i did." She had to me.
"Are you? You took my mother away from me. The one who truly understood me. I was 13 when she died. The one day I didnt stop by the shop. You took my childhood away from me that day." I cried.
"I never thought about the damage i brought." Dita shook her head, not even looking at me.
"Look me." I said sternly. "I saw my mothers bloody body. I held her, hoping she would come back. I still have the clothes i wore that day, stained in her blood. Do you know what kinda fucked up shit that does that to a kid? I was depressed, i had nobody. And there you were, sitting, enjoying your family, knowing you destroyed one. I had lost so much. Thanks to you. All because you didnt get the guy. My mom was a kind, pretty woman, and you took that away. Imagine if it was Miguel in my shoes."
"I don't expect you to forgive me. I hope you find peace, Marisol. I really hope you turn into your mother." I closed my eyes.
"Fuck." I looked down. I wiped my tear away. "Ez." I said softly as i backed away from her.
"I'm deeply sorry." I heard her say.
"This isn't about you or your fucking karma. You destroyed my family." Dita then kneeled down, started to say a prayer. I took out my cross necklace, and kissed it.
"Amen." Ez said. "Look at me." He told her. Her head went up. Ezekiel kneeled down, grabbed her neck, squeezed it. She started to squirm. Hitting Ez's face over and over. I stood there as Angel placed his hand on my shoulder. He slowly placed her body down, and stood up. "Sorry mom." Angel grabbed the gasoline, poured it on Dita. I pulled out a match. I looked at her, nothing came to me. I lit the match and flicked it. Her body went up in flames. The three of us stood there, watching as my father was still in the truck.
"Lets go." We gathered the evidence and drove back to the clubhouse. It was patch night. The crew went in and I stayed with Ez. "You had to do it." I told him as i spin the cup on the table.
"I wasnt going to let dad do it."
"He wasn't going to it anyways." Deep down, i knew he still had feelings for her. "Its over now Ezekiel." I grabbed his hands. He kissed my hands.
"I know." I walked up to him and gave him a hug.
"I got you hermano, no matter what."
"Come on." Angel said as he steps out of the room. Ez and I pulled away.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Sorry, bro." I looked at him. I placed my hand on his arm. We walked in the room, everyone staring. Bishop looked at the chair next to Coco. I sat down, Coco giving me a small smile, while he grabbed my hand.
"Take off the kutte." Bishop demands Ez.
"On the table." Ez places the kutte on the table. Taza stands up and Said a few words to him. Taza smiled and patted his chest.
"Congratulations, Ezekiel. Welcome to the tribe." The boys started to whoop, pound on the table. I gave Ez a big smile. Tranq places the patches on the the kutte.
"Sew that on. We got a party to go to." Everyone gave him a hug, even Coco. Angel and I were the last ones.
"Im proud of you Hermano." I kissed his cheek as I hugged him.
"I love you Marisol." He hugged my tightly. I pulled back. Angel steps in.
"We good?"
"Yeah." Angel nodded. "This is who we are now, bro. You understand that?"
"I do."
"It's not what I wanted for you. There's no one else I'd rather have by my side. Both of you."
"I love you, Angel." We all chuckled.
"Shut up, Ezekiel." Angel pushes him.
"Brother sandwich?" I recommended. We got into a big hug. "You guys have some unfinished business to do."
"Right." I helped Ez with his kutte. He puts its on. I placed my hand over my heart. We walked outside. The boys were near their bikes. I walked up to Coco.
"Uh can i have everyone's attention real quick?" Coco whistles.
"Coco?" I gave him a confused look. Ez and Angel had grins on their faces.
"Im not good with words or my emotions so i hope i dont fuck this up." Coco turned to me. "What im good at is loving you. I fell in love with you right there. I never had that type of love with anyone i was with until I met you. You're the most beautiful girl i ever seen."
"What are you doing?" I whispered to him as everyone stared.
"You make me feel good, happy. I havent felt that in years. I love the way you put me in my place, the way you take care of Letty as if shes your own, the way you say everything will be okay even though it might not but you saying it makes it better, the way you scrunch your nose when you laugh, the way your hand fits in mine. You are the sun in my life. I promise you, I will try my best to be more open. Im glad to say that your are my old lady. You make me feel like a real person. Will you, Marisol Fernanda Reyes, marry me?" Coco kneels down, take the little box from his kutte pocket. I stood back. I looked at my brothers, who were smiling like crazy.
"Yes." I cried. I nodded my head wildly. "Yes!" Coco puts the ring on my finger.
Everyone clapped as I kissed him. I placed my forehead against his.
"I love you." He told me.
"I love you more." He smiled. Everyone congratulated us. I walked up to Ez and Angel. "Y'all fucking knew."
"Angel almost said it earlier." Ez shoves Angel.
"You deserve a win Marisol."
"Im just surprised you guys said yes to him to marry me." They shrugged.
"He stopped by dads house when we all were there. He didnt want to make it obvious." Ez just smiles
"Thank you." I nodded.
"I know how much you love him. He means a lot to you. You would die without him." I licked my lips.
"Does dad know?" I asked, looked shyly to them.
"Yeah. He said yes." My heart broke.
"Sorry to break this up, but we gotta go." Gilly said to the boys. They all went to their bikes, i walked up to Coco.
"Staying for a bit?"
"Maybe, ill ask Chucky to take me home." I placed a kiss on his lips. "You kill every Vato in there." I whispered to him.
"I can do that." He grins as he drove off. I waved to the boys as they left. I walked to Chucky, who was also waving.
"Hey Chuck, do you mind taking me home?" I asked.
"Anything for Mrs. Cruz." I smiled. We got on his truck. "Im very happy for you two. I was rooting for you both."
"Glad you did Chucky."
"I wasnt wrong about him liking you at all." I blushed. The day, when we started developing feelings, here, in the club.
"No you weren't." We made it to the house. "Thank you Chucky, see you tomorrow." I said as I hop off.
"Adios." I walked to the door and saw Letty sitting in the living room.
"Hey." I said as I placed the keys down. Her head snapped.
"He did it, didnt he?" She smiled. Letty ran her way to me, grabbed my hand. "I helped him out picking one out you know."
"Did you now?"
"He chose this one, he said it was one of kind, like you." We both laughed. "Happy for you both."
"Thanks Letty."
"I was just watching some movie, want to join?"
"Sure." We cuddled in the sofa, watching some old movie. I started to hear something. Like someone was here.
"You hear that?" Letty said as she looked around the place. I looked back and got up.
"You're not hearing things, that for sure."
"Marisol?" I dial down the volume. I heard the front door knob shaking. "Maybe Coco forgot his keys?"
"Coco left for a run." I grabbed a gun from the drawers from the kitchen. "Stay there." I pointed the gun at the door. I slowly walked up to the door. I placed my hand on the knob, feeling how violently it was been shaken. The doorknob stopped as headlights passed by. I quickly opened the door and and ran out. I saw someone got in a black car and drove off, didnt even see the plates. I sighed and ran back inside. "Lock the doors with me, every window, door, everything."
