I'm The Secret

Tony's pov
I arrived at the local park and slowly walked up to the swings where Crystal told me to wait for her. I was a bit weirded out since it was getting dark out but I went none the less. Jaime, Vic, and Mike were already there making me utterlyconfused.
"Uhm guys? What's going on?" I asked when I got close enough.
"We don't know, we thought you did." Jaime shrugged while swinging slowly on the swing he was in. Vic was next to him on the other one while Mike sat on the floor with a cigaret in hand.
"She texted me and told me to meet her here." I said flashing them my phone.
"Same." They all said in unison.
"I don't think something's wrong so calm down. She's been happy ever since you and Hime got over your little fight." Mike said blowing smoke out in rings. The stress started accumulating slowly as I worried about what she wanted to tell us. I leaned down and snatched the cigaret out his hand. I took a big drag and handed it back earning a smile from Mike.
"Yeah but that was a while ago Mike. Things change, what if oh my god. What if she's breaking up with me?!" I asked choking out the smoke that was left in my lungs. Panic started setting in and I started pacing back and forth.
"Dude calm down. She's not breaking up with you. It's something else.." Vic said swinging slowly and starring at the floor.
"What do you know Vic?" I asked stopping my pacing and looking at him.
"Well...uhm..nothing."
"Vic, you know. Don't you?"
"See, Olivia, Jessica, Crystal and I went to lunch yesterday and we talked-"
"Wait. You're one of the girls now?" Mike snickered.
"Figured. I noticed your nails look extra posh now a days." Jaime added.
"And your hair, you stopped straightening it as much. Scared for damage?" Mike joined in.
"Your skin nice and exfoliated."
"You smell like strawberries too."
"Guys! Can this wait? This is important!" I exclaimed while Vic covered his face with his hands, laughter escaping his lips.
"More than my brother's sexuality?!?" Mike laughed.
"I-I'm not gay!" Vic laughed.
I sighed and gave up, they weren't taking this serious.
"Okay okay calm down. Go on Victoria." Jaime said. They erupted in laughter again while Vic flipped them off.
"ANYWAYS! We went to lunch and we talked..it's serious Tone. Like bad." Vic said getting serious again.
"Oh my god." I groaned sitting down next me Mike. What could it be? Everything's fine I think. We've been getting along just fine.
"There she is!" Jaime exclaimed after a while of waiting. I turned and saw her walking up.
"Hey guys, glad you could come." She smiled sitting down next to me and kissing my cheek.
"Well you said it was urgent Lune, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Yeah, and why outside? It's spooky." Mike added turning his flashlight on from his phone and laying it in between all of us. She scooted over so we were in a closed circle.
"Ok we're outside because I needed some fresh air. Didn't feel like being closed inside ya'know?"
"Yeah..go on." I nodded.
"Ok how do I start this.."
"Just say it. No biggie." Mike shrugged. I kept my eyes on her and kept quiet. She had her hands balled up and her knee was bouncing up and down from we're she was sitting with her legs crossed. She was definitely nervous.
"That's the thing. It is 'biggie'" she said using air quotes. I froze in my spot, my eyes growing wide.
"You're pregnant." Realization hit me as I shot up from where I was sitting.
"Oh my god we had sex. Oh my god we need a crib. Oh god we need bottles and cloths and money! Mom! Mom will help us! We need bibs, pacifiers, diapers! Vic! Yeah victor! You can babysit right? I need another job. Oh my god daddy. I. Dad. Oh god." I paced rapidly with my head in my hands. Oh my god. What? I can't even think straight.
"TONY! Calm down! I'm not pregnant geez!" Crystal laughed hitting my leg lightly with her hand.
"You handled that well." Vic said with a chuckle. I felt my muscles relax and I could breath again.
"Oh god thank god. I was so scared." I sighed breathing heavily.
"Yeah we saw, now you know to wrap up." Mike said with a playful smirk as he winked at Crystal. I flipped him off as he laughed.
"Keep it G huh Tone." Jaime smiled. I rolled my eyes and calmly too my seat next to Crystal again.
"Ok, continue Crystalluna." Vic said professionally.
"Ok. Now don't freak out. You have to handle this nice and slow ok?" She said.
"Like ass sex." Vic nodded jokingly.
"Oh but your not gay." Mike said causing us to laugh again.
"Stop interrupting! Ya! Seriously." I said looking at Crystal again.
"I moved from Tijuana to here.." She continued.
"No shit." Jaime nodded. "We already know that."
"Yeah but you don't know is why."
"Why?" I asked getting curious. She never did give me a straight answer.
"I..I was in a gang."
Woah I was not expecting that.
"Knew it." Mike said quickly.
"Wait what?" Jaime asked. I just kept quiet and let her continue.
"I'm not like a murderer or anything bad. My cousin just..got its a long story."
"Knew it." Mike said yet again.
"We have all night." I mumbled trying to understand. How does this sweet person end up in a fucking gang? She has to be joking.
"Knew it." Mike repeated lifting up her hand.
"That little F stands for Florencia. Florence. Who gets an F tattooed and says its for flowers and Daisies and shit?"
"Yeah..uhm. Yeah."
"So you're Italian?" Jaime asked clearly confused.
"No, it's the name of the gang Hime, not Florence,Italy."
"Ohh.."
"We'll anyways lets start from the beginning...uhm..I was bullied and messed with all my life back home. God it was horrible. Like really, i still don't know how i handled it all..Eventually in 8th grade I found a way out. My cousin was in the gang and said that if I joined him, I would get protection instantly. I was so desperate, I-I needed to feel safe. I was fed up with being pushed around and that was my way out. So I took it. Biggest mistake in my life."
"No shit Crystal, I wouldn't even do that." Mike said giving her a small smile.
"Yeah well I did. At fist everything was great. Nobody messed with me anymore and I could be me again. But like in all gangs, I had to give to receive. I of course, was never suspected in any funny business at school or anywhere and they saw that. They took advantage of that and had me dealing whatever drugs they handed me."
"Jesus Christ Crystal, I already know this story isn't gunna end well." Jaime said. She gave a nervous laugh and nodded before looking down.
"Go on babe.." I said quietly rubbing her knee. She gave me an apologetic smile to which I shook my head. She has no reason to be sorry.
"Everything was fine, until the beginning of my senior year. They started sending me with other guys to do heavier deals, one in particular was my waking call. We were doing a deal close to the border of Mexico, things went smoothly until someone said the wrong thing. Shots were fired, all I remember is getting away with some other girl while one of us was killed. I got scared and knew I would be next if I kept it up. So that very day I told everything to my mom and we moved. She knew a friend, Tony's mom, and here we are." She finished with a sigh and a small smile.
"Wow..that's uh..that's some heavy shit." I mumbled.
"Yeah it is...atleast your safe now." Mike said firmly looking at her. Vic kept his eyes down and swung back and forth slowly.
"You are safe. Right?" Jaime asked.
She kept quiet and played with my hand in her lap.
"Crystal?" I asked slowly.
"That's why I'm here..uhm. They found out that I'm here, in California."
"And? You left it." Jaime said to which she nodded.
"But..once you're in a gang" Vic began finally speaking up.
"You can't leave the gang." Mike finished.
We stayed quiet for a while, no body really knew what to do or say.
"I'm confused. Are they coming here or what?" I asked.
"They already are here Tone. And they're pissed." Vic said.
"Florencia is all over Mexico and here too. Eventually the ones in Mexico told the ones here what's up and well, you know.." Vic said already knowing what was going on.
"Woah woah why are they pissed?" I asked quickly.
"It's clear why Tony. They lost their best dealer and they want her back." Mike said shoving me to a side. I simply glanced at him not really feeling like playing around. This is serious.
"What are we gunna do?" I asked quickly.
"I'm not sure yet." She mumbled.
"Have you told you mom yet? Maybe she could help." Jaime said.
"I was hoping you guys could come tonight to her place with me so we can talk about it but I had to tell you first."
"Hell yeah, they're not gunna take you back. Shit, you're in the SD gang now." Mike said getting up. They gave small laughs but I kept quiet.
"I'll be ok Tone." Crystal said when she noticed I was quiet.
"I know you will." I smiled pushing my worried asides. I know she will.
"Well vamonos no?" Jaime said getting off the swing and skipping ahead.
"And I'm the gay one." Vic mumbled ever so quietly. We laughed, easing the small amount if tension that was building up.
"To mama Lidia's right?" Jaime asked loudly from his car.
"Right." Crystal nodded as she got in her car.
"See you there babe." I said giving her a quick kiss.
"I'll go with you." Vic said getting in Crystal's car. She smiled and shooed me away before getting in as well.
I jogged to my car and got inside watching as the guys drove away. I took a deep breath and turned my car on. To be honest, dealing with pregnancy is better than having my girlfriend in danger. I would rather earn someone important in my life instead of risking loosing one. I already almost lost her once, I can't let that happen again.
