“Don’t force yourself to fit in where you don’t belong.”

“Fuck, she did what?!” Enzo shouts into his phone. I don’t know who he’s talking to but I’m assuming it’s one of the guys. Today was the auction for that evil dude. I walk towards him, giving him a concerned look. Out of everyone here, Enzo is the last to judge me, and I’d like to think that because of that we’re friends. He hangs up and tosses his phone on the pool table. “Jesus!”

I raise my eyebrows at him, “Care to elaborate on what’s so shocking?”

He stands up, eyes going wide if I’ve ever seen such a thing. “Maria ripped his fucking heart out of his chest.”

“Huh?” I’m confused. There’s no way he could’ve just said what he did.

“Maria cut his skin, carved off his muscle, took a fuckin’ bone saw to his ass and cut out his ribs and then she dug her hand up in there and ripped out his heart.”

Good god. My insides are rolling. “There’s no way she would’ve done something like that.” I say, not wanting to believe it. Cause if she did… it means she’s one twisted bitch.

“She did.” He firmly states as I try to wrap my head around it.

I thought I heard her come in through the back a bit ago, so I leave the main room in the clubhouse and head to the back towards her room. I hit my hand against the door a couple times, and with no answer I decide to just let myself in. As I open the door, I see Maria sitting on the edge of her bed, her body wrapped in a towel with her hair dangling over her side.

We aren’t really friends, but we’re friendly to one another. She’s essentially my sister-in-law, so I should check in with her. It’s the right thing to do. “Maria, are you okay?” I ask because I’m genuinely concerned, especially at what Enzo just told me she did. It’s not normal for someone to act like that.

“I’m nowhere near close to being okay.” She mutters, staring down at the floor. “I don’t know how to be okay right now.”

I take a couple steps towards her and sit next to her on the bed. “What’s the matter?”

She laughs at first, but then it turns into a heartfelt sobbing cry. “Everything is. Every part of everything.”

“You’re not making any sense…” I tell her lowly, not wanting to sound judgmental or rude.

“I missed my period and took a pregnancy test last week. It was positive. I didn’t tell either of your brothers and I don’t know how the fuck I’m supposed to tell them this.”

I smile, knowing that they’re going to be so happy with this news. “You just tell them, Maria. They are going to love hearing this from you!”

She shakes her head back and forth, “No, they won’t. They’ll hate this. They’ll hate it. They’ll hate me.” At this point I wrap my arms around her and pull her to my chest as her sobs grow heavier.
