Mariana pov
I stood there, just like a rock, I was in shock, as I was witnessing what was unraveling in front of my eyes, gunshot after gunshot had being fired, was Raphael now shooting against the Authorities, or were they shooting at him.
"Why were they looking for him?" And why wasn't he scared, it was almost like he was expecting them to arrive, something wasn't right he wasn't completely honest with me.
I moved closer to the window, I saw cars Coming in with a force,all in suit just like Raphael always were. carrying heavy guns, and looking like they were ready for death. I could hear his voice, shouting at someone, and then he came into my view, he looked a man in the face after mumbling something, some words and shot him between the eyes.
I screamed and ran straight to my room, shout the door, fear had completely taken over me, he just shot someone, like it was nothing, I broke down in tears wondering what I had gotten married to, who exactly his "Raphael Espinoza".i laid down on the bed tears, coming down easy, hours went by and I started slowly drifting off to sleep, when suddenly someone knocked my door down, I jump and hid under the bed before they could see me.
In order not scream, I had my hands to my mouth. they kept searching ,went to my bathroom, my Closet, everywhere and just when one of them was about to look under the bed, someone else came in, and shot everyone, I screamed inside my hands panicked had filled my heart, when I had his voice. "Baby girl ",I still didn't come out, I was sacred of him, he kept Calling for me over and over again, I listened as his voice grew stronger, with fear and panic, he then looked under the bed, seeing me, he attempted to reach for me, but I pulled away, he then pulled me out forcibly, I shovled his chest, and struggle to break free but it was useless, he kept trying to calm me down, but I was so far gone into my anxiety. I just wanted to be alone, and away from him.

I walked into her room seeing three of the other guys, without any hesitation I shot them, then I frantically looked around for my "Baby",I kept calling out to her, not until I heard a very little smuffle like someone was trying to suppress a scream and then I bent under, and I saw her looking frightened like she saw something she wasn't suppose to see and it freaking her out.
I tried to reach for her hands, but she pulled away, tears filled her lovely eyes, she was terrified of me. I still pulled her out forcibly, pulled her to myself trying to calm her down, but she kept fussing I carried her over my shoulders and inside my room, where it was safer for her.
I knew I had a lot of explaining to do, but first we must secure the night. Then by tomorrow I will have her tied to a chair if needed and explain everything, but for now I keep her safe.
We got to my room still fussing, I dropped her to the bed, quickly went to the windows and pulled down the curtains they could be a sniper at a distance, I shut the door taking out the key, in order to keep here. She looked at me with eyes filled with what I ever never seen before. Her voice sounded like it could not phantom what had just happened she sat down on the floor shaking in fear, whenever I tried to get close she moves away.
I Then suddenly got a call, I picked ,I sent you a view the caller said laughing, before hanging up. I checked my messages that was when I saw it. The picture.looking closely.
Mariana's grandmother liveless body. I looked from the phone to her, how in heavens name should I Deliver the news. She will forever hate me.
I know that.
It seems I was nothing but a curse in her life.
I wanted to make it better for her, but am afraid I made it Even worse.
