The Reason Worth Living ch.1

alright, this is like a mini intro i guess. Yeah, its the first chapter, but you're just starting to get to know the characters. PLease comment and let me know what you think! thanks! ch. 2 will be up shortly.

Star's p.o.v

We, as people enter this hard living worl for one reason...and for one reason only.
Whether it is to make the world a better place, or demolish mankind...God created a purpose for us here on this home we call Earth.

The name on my birth certificate is Starlite Marie Gomez...but if you know me well enough, you just call me Star.
Yes i know. What kind of name is Starlite? People always tell me that my name is so original and different. Unique i must add. Well...thats me alright. Im like no one else in Little Springs, Texas. I come from a poor family in a small, unknown town.
My mother works as a waitress and as a school teacher...just to afford our taxes. We can barely afford our morgage anymore ever since my father walked out of our lives permanently.
No one has a father like mine. Atleast...anyone that i know of. You wanna know what my father is? He's an international criminal. He steals huge deals of money from large, significant countries. And why? Damn if i know why. He's crazy, and im glad he left us. We did better without him anyway.
Of course, my mother is still madly in love with him for some reason. But thats a whole different story.
Im talking about something different. Something comletely off topic.

Do i know what my purpose in life is? Hell no. I dont even know what i want for breakfast, let alone this deep shit. Pardon me for my language.
But, after the death of my older brother, David...my whole world went off track. It was an unknown murder. No clues on who killed him...or even why. My best guess is that my father had something to do with it...but i havent seen him in 5 years...so who knows.
But i definitely lost track after in lost my best friend...my mentor...MY BROTHER.

....until the day that HE entered my life...everything changed so quickly.

The day of David's death has definitely been the worst day of my life. Screams...cries....the heartfelting feeling on knowing he's gone forever. We never had the normal brother/sister relationship. He was everything to me...the only father figure in the house. Every night, i had the scarriest, most terrifying nightmares on how he died. Whether it was my imagination or not...he was killed.
"Star! Im going to work!" the tired tone in my mother's voice yelled from the small kitchen. I quickly got up off my twin sized bed and walked toward her voice. She was scaterring through the piles of papers....probably looking for her keys. She looked like she just got out of bed, and her haggard face looked exhausted. Deep in my stomach, i knew she wasnt healthy to go to work....but all i would hear is a simple no from her. I gave her a look.
she sighed. "Sweety, how else am i going to pay for food, baby?" she immediately answered my question. "I need to go. Breakfast is on the table. Dont let any strangers in." she insisted on treating me like a child. I sighed, not answering back. I just nodded graciously as she kissed my cheek and went straight to the worn out door. And once again...i was alone.
As i walked toward the picture of my mom, David and I at the beack...i couldnt help but think...where did all that happiness go? Because it sure wasnt here now. I mourned at the picture. Every single ray of happiness that our family had was completely demolished....because David took all of it with him once he reached that better place.
"Why did you have to leave David?" i looked up toward the ceiling, knowing he was listening. I missed him more than anything.

Nick's p.o.v
I would have never thought id end up in a position like this...killing people for a living isnt exactly what i had in mind when i was 3. Why exactly did i end up being an assasin? Simple. If i didnt...the agency would end up killing my family. My mother....father...sister. They would be dead right now if i didnt agree to this wrong doing. I wouldnt call it selfish....but i also wouldnt it call it doing good for the people. Hearing the terrified screams and beggings for me not to kill the target is hard to ignore. And it still is hard. But its my job. Its the only way to fill money in my family's pockets. As the time went on...i cared lesser and lesser on what the person's reason was to spare their life.
But why was it so damn hard to deny...HER.
