"'Dying.'" Ithaca breathed. Take note that there is '''s around the word.

Thorn was silent, for once in his entire life. He couldn't see the quotes put around the word, so he had no idea what was going on. He thought the whole point of his fear of the Mafia was dying! Why would he want to die just to get away from them? It wasn't worth it.

"Not for real of course, dummy!" Ithaca said, and prepared herself to hit the completely retarded boy. It was a good thing he was hot.

Thorn flinched away from Ithaca's wrath, hoping he wouldn't get hurt. He was now in an abusive relationship. If you could even call it a relationship.
"Wait, like faking my death?" he asked, "How would that possibly work? If we somehow fooled the Mafia, I wouldn't be safe anymore! My family wouldn't be safe either! Just think how upset your father would be if he found out you tricked him!"

"I would be 'dead' too." Ithaca said, EMPHASIZING the quotes. "I can request we go on a really big mission, have something rigged, boomboom, big explosion-- our bodies were 'lost'." she explained. "Vincenzo could help us."

"Why would he help us." Thorn asked, emphasizing how he didn't like the man. Then everything hit him, "Wait, what? You're going to leave the Mafia with me? Ithaca, I can't....I can't just pull you away from the life you're familiar with. Look, it's alright, I can stay in the Mafia. No problem."
Thorn gave the girl a wide smiled, which was actually pretty much faked. He didn't want to drag her away from everything she knew. Plus, what if he got bored with her? Then she'd get pretty pissed. It was much easier how it was now.

"Vincenzo is infatuated with me. He'd do anything I told him to do." Ithaca said. "I want to know what makes a regular life so appealing. It's worth stepping out of my comfort zone." plus, they were going to have a baby together so they had to run away.

"But, once you walk away from the Mafia, you're never going to be able to go back. Don't you ever want to see your father again? And Vincenzo? What if you don't like life outside of the mafia?" Thorn ranted. This was a big decision for the both of them.

Ithaca shrugged. "There's no way you can get out of this on your own, and I want to help anyways. I didn't choose this life, and neither did you." she said, "And if going back to your old life seems to important, there must be something good about it. And I wanna try. If I don't like it, oh well. Mafia life is all I've ever known. I don't really like it, and I don't really hate it. I'll get over it either way." she ranted.

Thorn nodded his head. At least he wouldn't be alone in this. But he was too scared to even think about what Ithaca's father would do to him if he ever discovered them.
He looked around the apartment, thinking about how different it would be having all four of them there. But then he realized another thing. It was just epiphany day for Thorn!
"We can't stay here anymore, can we? They know where I live...where will we go?"

Ithaca shrugged. "Wherever you want." she said. She had enough money to get them pretty much anywhere. It was all saved up in her room, allowances from Dontae the Mafia Boss, money from jobs, missions... she had tons of cash.

"What about my brother?" Thorn asked. He didn't really want to leave, and especially not without Jagger. He was pretty much like his father, since he raised him and all. But he couldn't take Jagger away from his business.

"We don't have to do it if you don't want to." Ithaca said. She'd already practically forced sex out of him twice. She didn't have to steal him away from his home and brother if he didn't want to do it. That'd be mean.

"Can I think about it?" Thorn asked. He knew his life was going to change now that he was in the mafia, but it was going to break in half, so to speak, if he ran away from the mafia. He wasn't sure if he could handle that. But Ithaca sure could, so why couldn't he just make this choice?

"Yeah, of course." Ithaca said. "It was only a suggestion anyways. You can take me up on the offer whenever you want." she said. She wasn't going to drag him away from his life here. That would be mean.
