Mafia Vengeance by KATHLEEN HAYAT (good books for 8th graders TXT) 📖

Andrew was crying miserably, in rage he picked the table from the middle of the room and threw it on the glass wall, breaking it into pieces. He marched towards that bastard and punched him hard, he stumbled backwards his nose started bleeding but all he did was laugh. Andrew was about to attack him again, but he pressed the button and the LCD came to life. On the screen was the live footage of Lucy sitting on the hospital bed and one of his goon was aiming the gun towards her head. Andrew was numb, his breathing was sparse. He fell down on his knees.

"D-Don't hurt her please."

That man started laughing like a maniac. He was enjoying it. He was a sick, psychotic person, even tho he killed Andrew's parents, he wasn't satisfied but now he was content.

"You know! I'm really happy today. I always told you "If you want it then have it by hook or by Crook." And I had what I wanted, After killing your dad I was finally happy thinking that Julia will be mine. I even took her, but damn her! She was lifeless. I didn't like her that way, so I left her. She was dead already. But I didn't want her to die as a used whore but guess what? That was her fate. Sad isn't it! And for you if you want that little thing alive, then never ever think of opening your mouth, it won't take me a minute to send that little thing to her parents. I told you all this so that it would be easy for you to kill yourself and join your parents. Now get out and never show me your fucking face again."

He kicked Andrew in the abdomen. Andrew stood up and saw on the live footage that his man left the hospital so without saying anything he left from there. He was numb. There was a storm building inside him.

When he saw his sister. He forced a smile while looking at Lucy.

"Andrew I want to eat our favouuuuriiitee lemoooon rashpbeurry cakeuu for the laaast time pleaseuuee." She spoke.

"Don't say last time Lucy. We will eat it every day, when you'll be discharged."

"Nou Andrew I dount havue time. I leuistenedd whaut doc uncle said. You knoww naww I'm gowing to mom and dad. So pleasuse I waunt to eat it."

Tears were streaming down his face by listening to his sisters words. He felt so helpless at that moment he held his sisters hand and kissed it, and also kissed her forehead,both eyes and cheeks, and she giggled.

"No princess you are not leaving me OK. And I'll bring that lemon raspberry cake. And then we'll both eat it OK. Love you princess."

He kissed her forehead and left the hospital in search of money, he will do anything to save her sister.

There wasn't much he could do other than asking people for money, but no one helped. Once he heard from someone about the street fighting, through which you could get paid a lot of money. He wasted no time and went towards the gangster's area, this is what the street people call that place. There were a lot of people shouting and bidding on the fighters and almost everyone bid on Ken. He was their hero, he was twenty-one years old and was excellent in fighting, one thing that is known about him is that he always wins and just like that with a powerful punch his opponent fell down unconscious.

The crowd was roaring like maniacs, chanting ken's name as a mantra. When the unconscious man was taken away the speaker asked about any challenger, that was when Andrew raised his hand, everybody moved aside making space for him to move towards the middle.

The speaker chuckled looking at Andrew and asked. "This place isn't for kids. What's your name and age?"

"Call me Andrew and I'm fifteen."

Everybody started laughing including Ken, which made Andrew more furious. He marched towards Ken and spoke in a provocative way.

"Are you scared that you may lose your title?" Andrew mocked.

Ken growled and agreed to fight after cursing a series of words.

The fight start and in a first few seconds Andrew was spitting blood because of the hard punch that Ken gave him. Which, then followed by few more punches. The crowd was going crazy cheering and screaming. Ken was beating Andrew to pulp but Andrew didn't give up. His father's dead body flashed in front of his eyes and just like a raging Bull he punched Ken and it was so hard that a sound of a crack could be heard, he broke ken's nose. The crowd was silent, a pin drop silence. In all this silence one voice shouted "ANDREW" and everybody started cheering for Andrew. But Andrew was all gone he was seeing red, the fight continued Ken fought with complete excellence but Andrew was aggressive and in the end Andrew won. Owning the title of the winner.

From there he got a lot of money and it was enough for Lucy's treatment to get started. Collecting that money he made a dash towards the nearby bakery. He bought lemon raspberry cake for Lucy and then dashed towards the hospital. The first thing he saw was Jess in the corridor crying, when she saw him she gasped.

"Oh GOD! What happened to you?"

"Don't worry Jess. I'm fine. Now our Lucy could be saved. I brought enough money for the treatment to get started."

But a sob from Jess stopped him from moving further. In panic, he asked.

"W-what's wrong? Is Lucy alright Jess? Tell me!"

She cried more while saying.

"Ou- Our Lucy is n-no more."

Andrew didn't believe his ears and barged into Lucy's room and there his last thread of life, his heart, his soul was laying lifeless.

That was the agitated moment that killed the kid who was called Andrew once..
