rewording my tags from another post because of that ask someone got regarding "west side story being about forgiveness":
west side story is NOT about "enemies to lovers" or "forgiving people for the silly little hate crimes they committed against you in the past." it isn't about redeeming racist, transphobic rapists so you don't feel bad – or more accurately, annoyed at people constantly bringing up their racism and transphobia as reasons to dislike them – for thinking they're all hot and not caring about other characters.
west side story demonstrates the societal structures that are meant to crush the hopes of and deny love toward those it deems unworthy. it ALSO shows how, in internalizing those messages, individuals – including the jets! – can further destroy hope & love for others by blaming their existence for their troubles. tony & maría's story (whether you believe they were truly in love/compatible or not) is about them trying to overcome those barriers but ultimately failing because of the hatred that has seeped into their community.
specifically regarding The Plague that is riff content in this tag: riff is complicit in purposefully denying peace to and mocking the national identity of puerto ricans. think about that then come tell me that you're a "rebel" for shipping him with anita (because it's actually giving her agency!) and that everyone else is racist for not believing that this gleefully-bigoted, foutté-turning little bitch would want to "redeem" himself by treating the sharks like human beings.

Cool Your Jets- Ch. 3: Let’s Dance (Riff x newcomer)
I finish cleaning up my sad attempts to make dinner and then go to freshen up when I hear a knock on the door.
“Riff, if that’s you I’m gonna rip your arms off-!” I hiss as I yank the door open, only to find a dark blue swing dress with a note attached to it.
Marilyn,
Anita made this for you! She wants you to show those Jets who’s boss! See you at the dance!
Maria :)
A smile grows on my face as I take the gorgeous blue dress inside. There’s a dotted pattern on the skirt and low-cut bodice, and like my other new dress it’s very flowy. I don’t know how I’m gonna be able to repay Anita for this! I slip it on with a tulle petticoat and twirl in front-a the tiny bathroom mirror. After some makeup and a halfway-decent hairstyling I think I’m ready, and I almost feel too dressed up. Back in the country, simply wear’n a dress with no mud spots on it was fancy enough, but I know city folks got higher standards.
As I head out I remember that I’ve got no clue where this place is, so I decide to go with my intuition and follow a group-a dressed up Puerto Ricans to a school. I wish I could go to school, but since I gotta pay rent there’s no use try’n to squeeze in time.
Inside I can already hear blare’n swing music and the sound-a lots-a people talk’n and laugh’n. I stick to the wall and scope the gym out, noticing that the Sharks and Jets have divided the room.
“Marilyn!”Maria rushes up, dressed in white, and engulfs me in a hug. “You came! And you look wonderful!”
“Of course she does!” Anita walks up, she herself wear’n a black and red dress.
“I must admit, amor- this it definitely the best dress you’ve made.” Bernardo smirks. “Sorry about earlier, chica. I think we got off on the wrong foot.”
I wave it off. “Nah, it’s fine. I’m new here same as you, more water under the bridge. I haven’t been to a dance in months, so let’s dance!”
We group together and walk onto the dance floor, and I notice that Anita and Bernardo take no regard for the line separating the Sharks and Jets. I feel awkward just stand’n here by myself, so I just stay off to the side.
“Hey! Ya made it!”
Mouthpiece runs up with a big smile on his face. “How’re ya supposed to dance when you’re tucked away in the corner? Come dance!” He takes my hand and starts lead’n me to the center-a the room.
“Uh I donno, Mouthpiece. Everybody here’s dancing so intense, and back home we’ve never had social events like this-”
“Just relax! Have fun!” Mouthpiece jerks my arm and sends me falling towards the floor, only to scoop me back up and twirl me around.
“Aw- oh- Oh my God!” I cry as he lifts me up. “What are you doing?!”
“I’m dancing with a pretty goil!” He grins as he twirls me again.
I chuckle sarcastically. “You’re too kind, Mouth!”
“That your new nickname for me?”
“No, it’s just that you can sometimes have a big mouth.”
“Aw!” He dramatically clutches his chest. “I’m scarred beyond repair!”
“Get over it!” I playfully push him and he takes me in for anodda dip.
“I’ll take over from here.”
We both turn and see Riff standing next to us with an amused smirk on his face.
“Jeez, boss. We just got started,” Mouthpiece whines.
“I’m sure Velma wants a fella to dance with,” Riff waves him off. Mouthpiece leaves after giving me a quick look of apology. Now Riff turns to me and offers a hand.
I put my hands on my hips. “Why on Earth would I dance with you after that? Mouthpiece invited me to a nice dance, and now you come here all high-and-mighty try’n to cut in!”
“I just wanna get to know the new goil in town. C’mon, ya won’t regret it!” He winks.
Cautiously, I look around and spot Grazi with anodda Jet.
“Won’t your goil get jealous?”
Riff follows my gaze. “Grazi? Nah, Diesel’s keep’n her company. Right now I’m all yours.”
I give him one more skeptical look, then roll my eyes in defeat. “Fine.”
He takes my waist, a lot more snug than Mouthpiece I might add, and starts waltz’n us all over the room.
“Took a while to find ya! You been look’n for me?”
“When I came I expected to find the leader of a stubborn gang.” I shrug.
He laughs. “Oh really?”
I give a devious smirk. “I’ve been trying to find him, but all I can see is a cleaned-up Jet boy.”
“Ey! Get away from her!” Bernardo comes up and shoves Riff away from me.
“You got a problem, amigo?” The Jets leader pushes Bernardo and they both start circle’n each odda.
“Guys, just stop it!” I try to break them up but it’s no use.
“She’s with us, punk!”
“That’s funny ‘cause last I checked she was meet’n with us!”
“Guys!!” I get in-between them and they seem to remember I’m still there. “I’m here for everyone! Can you guys just go ten minutes without fighting?”
“Hey, hey, hey! Everybody please calm down!” A chaperone comes up to stand in the middle of the Jets and Sharks mob. “There are beautiful goils here that wanna dance, can’t we all just get along?” He goes to talk more about social rules, but then-
“There you are!” Anita comes over and yanks me over towards Maria on the sidelines. “What are you doing? I suggest you stay with Maria and Chino until this mess gets settled.”
Maria huffs. “Anita! We want to dance!”
Anita shakes her head as she heads back to dance with Bernardo. “You can, away from the Jets!”
I sulk in the corner as a massive dance-fight takes place: Sharks vs Jets.
“¡Oye, Javi! Ponle fuego, ¡vamos!” Anita shouts.
Maria and Chino eventually join in, but me being alone leaves me awkwardly pacing back and forth.
“Mambo!”
“Mambo!”
“Go!”
As I watch the dance break out, I can’t help but be a little bit jealous of Riff ‘nd Grazi. She looks like she’s having so much fun, but Riff seems… distracted. He keeps look’n at Bernardo, and Bernardo keeps look’n at Riff. I gotta say- he ain’t a sight for sore eyes. I can understand why Grazi keeps him so close, and can’t help but feel sad that I don’t got no fella to call my own.
I make my way to the back, but then Riff seems to recognize someone next to me. He leads Grazi over, leaving me to stiffly loiter around and stare at the ground.
“Tony! Ya made it! I knew you’d come!” Riff beams with joy. He pulls me forward and gestures to a tall, dark, and handsome guy. “Marilyn, this here’s Tony. One-a the Jets’ founding members and my best friend! Tony-” He gestures to me. “This is Marilyn Jackson. Just moved here from upstate, so we’s make’n her feel welcome.”
Tony shakes my hand. “Pleasure to meet ya! I’d ask ya to dance but I promised my parole offer I wouldn’t get too involved with social events. I only came ‘cause Riff said I would-”
“And ya still came!” Riff smiles.
Tony gives him a glare. “Only for half an hour. I’s here for you, not to cause a rumble!”
Riff shrugs. “Ya can’t back outta this, buddy boy. Soon as the coast is clear we’s meet’n the Sharks to set it up.”
My face twists to a confused expression. “What’s a rumble-?”
“C’mon Riff, let’s dance!” Grazi grasps Riff’s wrist and pulls him back to the crowd, leaving me with Tony.
“Is he always this reckless?’ I ask.
He sighs. “Ever since we was kids. I was the one to hold him back, but since I’s been gone I fear that Riff’s been get’n outta hand.” He looks around the gym, then says: “I think I’m just gonna drift around ‘nd make sure the Jets play fair, if ya get my drift? You go on ahead- enjoy yourself!”
I go back to watching everyone jive and dance, and wondering what other odd characters I’m gonna meet in this city. I’m already caught between 2 gangs- what else is in store for Miss Jackson?
“You wanna dance, buddy boy?” I hear Riff jab- most likely at Bernardo.
Uh-oh.
I try to get closer to the clump-a angry dancers, but the chaperones and policemen are block’n my path. Once I do make it through, an argument’s already panning out.
“But I wanna dance! Riff, you said we could dance!” Grazi wines.
“I know, I know doll. Lemme just-”
“No! I’m sick-a this!” She shoves him and storms past, but then turns back. “We’re through!” She glares at me. “He’s your problem now!”
I just stare wide-eyed as people around me begin to argue, until Anita comes over and guides me into the hallway.
“Come, chica. This is no place for a young lady.”
I shake my head. “Is it always like this? Stupid gangs ruining social events?”
Anita nods. “I’m afraid so. All we can do is try to calm them down when it’s over.”
She goes off to the bathroom to fix her makeup, while I go sit next to Maria in the hallway. But she seems… distant.
“Maria? Are you ok?”
She nods, but then seems to rethink and shakes her head.
“Maria, what’s wrong?”
“I- I danced with a Jet boy,” she whispers. “And… I think I like him.”
I frown. “Who?”
“I think his name is Tony?”
“Oh, Riff’s friend! I kinda know him, he seems nice. What’s wrong with that?”
“Because Bernardo hates him! He hates all the Jets.”
I notice Tony walk up with Riff and the odda Jets as they go off with the Sharks.
Anita huffs. “Come, Maria. We’ve had enough drama for one night, so let’s head home. You coming, Marilyn?”
I look back and forth between the Jets that are still present and Anita. “Sorry Anita, but I’m gonna stay a bit longer and keep the guys in-check. You go on and get home safely.”
She nods and starts guiding Maria away, leaving me standing next to Tony.
“Buenas noches, Marilyn!”
“G’night, Maria!” I call back.
“Maria? Maria…” I see Tony get a dazed look in his eyes.
I wave a hand in front of him. “Uh, Tony? Earth-to-Tony? Ya with us?”
He blinks. “Marilyn? Have you ever heard-a luv at foist sight?”
“Uhh,” My eyes widen and my jaw drops. “Kinda?”
Tony gives a dopey smile. “Then I think I’m in luv! Marilyn, I just kissed the most beautiful goil I’ve ever met, and her name’s Maria!”
I gasp. “Maria? You mean my neighbor, Maria?”
“She’s your neighbor? Wow, you’re lucky!”
“She was just talk’n ‘bout you!” I hiss, look’n around to make sure nobody’s listen’n.
Tony gawks at me. “She was? What’d she say?!”
“I ain’t gonna be spill’n gossip- it’s just plain evil!” I cross my arms.
“Aw, c’mon Marilyn! Please! Does she luv me back? Did she like dance’n with me?” His smile fades. “Or- or does she hate me, and never wanna see me again…?”
I hold my hand up to steady the poor guy. “Alright, alright, fine! She luvs ya! Just don’t go have’n a meltdown on me! I got enough emotional baggage as it is!”
Tony’s face looks as if he’s been born again. “In that case, I’m gonna go find her!”
He starts off towards the exit, leaving me nearly speechless.
“Tony- Tony! Ya can’t just track her down! That’s creepy-!”
But it’s too late. Tony’s already head-over-heels and is out the door.
“Marilyn!”
Riff, now look’n more smug than ever, strides up. “Where’s Tony? He's gonna miss the meeting.”
I point to the door. “Just missed ‘im.”
Riff shrugs. “Guess I’ll have to fill him in later. Right now I gotta go meet with Bernardo.”
“Ay ay! Leave her alone!” Anita comes up and waves him off. She leads me away, but not before I look back one more time and see Riff air-kiss me goodbye.
As he turns to leave, Anita scrunches her face. “I suggest you stay away from that Jet boy- Riff. He’s no good for you. I’m going to tell Maria the same thing about her Jet boy- they’re all the same.”
“Tony’s not. He’s not like them, and he wants noth’n to do with the Jets. He’s only here because he’s their friend.”
“Once a Jet, always a Jet,” Antia argues as Bernardo strolls up to us. “Hola, mi amor! I left Maria with Chino.” She points at me. “And came back for you because Bernardo said he just scheduled a rumble for tomorrow night, and I do not want you around those Jets!” She walks off again, and that word keeps ringing in my head.
“A- A what?” I frown. “I’ve heard that word before… Riff mentioned it…”
Bernardo nods. “It’s a rumble, señorita. An all-out fight between gangs when only one comes out on top. We just planned out with the Jets for tomorrow night, so I suggest you stay in unless you want trouble.”
Bernardo storms outta the room with Anita, leaving me alone to think over this idea until Mouthpiece finds me again.
“Hey! I lost ya! Where’ve ya been?”
“Do you know about the rumble?” I ask darkly.
Mouthpiece opens his mouth, then shuts it again. “Who told you?”
“Bernardo.”
He scoffs. “Figures some PR would tell ya.”
“Is it really that bad?” My voice is uneven.
He avoids my gaze and nods. “Yeah, it can get pretty bad. That’s the reason Tony got locked up ‘cause he nearly beat a kid to death last year.”
My hand flies to my mouth. “Death? Mouthpiece… I don’t want anyone to die, is there any way to settle this without fighting?”
He smiles a little. “Ya worried ‘bout me, doll?”
“I’m serious! None-a you deserve to die! I could talk to Bernardo, he might call it off…”
“Fat chance.”
I roll my eyes. “What ‘bout Riff? If I could talk to him-”
“Ask and ye shall receive.” Riff strolls in, leans against the wall, and motions for Mouthpiece to leave. “Ya look’n for me, beautiful?”
I storm up to him and poke a finger at his chest.
“So. Tonight was all a ruse to plan a fight. And all for what? Territory? Because Tony danced with Maria?”
“That’s the broad’s name?” Riff asks with a scrunched face.
I smack him and start to breathe heavily.
“I was right. The rough gang leader was here tonight- a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You should be ashamed of yourself. They have every right to be here, same as you!”
Fed up with this, I storm off outta the gym and into an alley, all the while ignoring the faint calls from the aggravating Jet leader.

hey! recently there has been an influx of riff x anita posts and supporters on the mike faist tag on tumblr. as a riff x grazi shipper, what are your thoughts on this other ship, as well as any other thoughts you may have of the ship independently? i would love to hear what you think, thank you.
I had a feeling I was going to get this question eventually 😂
As a diehard Riff x Grazi shipper, my answer is pretty simple. I’ll never ship Riff with anyone but Graziella. They will always and forever be my OTP.
As a West Side Story fan in general, let me preface my response by saying that members of a fandom are absolutely allowed to ship whoever they want and my intention is not to offend or insult anyone. That said, Riff and Anita make no sense to me and I can honestly only interpret it as a crack ship.
Realistically, in the context of the story, there’s no way that they would get together or even have any interest in getting together. Besides the fact that they’re both happily in relationships with other people (Riff with Grazi, and Anita with Bernardo), their worlds do not intersect at all.
We can call a spade a spade and acknowledge that Riff is racist towards Puerto Ricans and would not realistically have any interest in dating a Puerto Rican woman. Additionally, Anita would have no interest in dating a gang leader who purposely antagonizes and makes life difficult for her community.
I get that some people enjoy the enemies-to-lovers trope, but in the world of WSS, that’s literally what the Tony x Maria plot line is for. And yes, Mike Faist and Ariana DeBose are both extremely talented and beautiful people, but that doesn’t mean the characters they play would work as a couple.
The only real interaction they even have together is at the dance and, the truth is, I don’t believe they ever would have seriously danced with each other. Riff is in love with Graziella and Anita is in love with Bernardo. Those are the people they wanted to be with that night.
Again, I’m not trying to be the ship police or insult anyone else’s ships. This is just my opinion on the matter, which is all I was asked for. In general, as I’ve said before, I really only ship the canon couples from WSS. They’re the ones that make sense to me.
Hope that answers your question, but my ask box is always open!

I've had the same contact in for like. Two months now probably due to the depression. lmao
#personal post#I gave up on making every post on here Little Shop related so I'll probably post about other movies/works of literature I like at some poin#I also love West Side Story sm#controversial opinion Tony x Maria is better than Bernardo x Anita#and I'm probably the only person who ships both Tony x Maria and Tony x Riff but prefers the former#anyway

ok idk if you’re still into riff x anita anymore, but i had an idea for a fic and you’re the only one that i can think of that won’t make me yet and feel bad for wanting to write it. so if you’re still interested in that pairing, could i possibly dm you and tell you about it?
also if there’s anyone else you think might be interested in hearing about the fic idea, feel free to tag them! i might try to make a discord server if there’s enough people interested in it
-jasmine
@localfandomscribe
Absolutely!! I'm so sorry it took me this long to get back to you, things have been a bit hectic on my end, but I would love to dm with you about Riffnita💖
so far the only other people I can think of would be:
@westsidelegendary @shippinggirl2424 @ivy-miranda-2390 @harwerb and @aemondtargaryensrider

Lovin’ Kind
Chapter 11
Pairing: Riff x Latina!
Summary: The rumble in full swing but I don’t think it’d about territory anymore.
A/N: Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for Lovin’ Kind this story means the world to me. I hope you enjoy this chapter and don’t hate me too much for last updates cliffhanger!
————————————————————————————
Riff Pov
“Aww kitty cat I see you brought the strays with you today. How about I put you down?”, my eyes follow the barrel over to the other side of the shed landing on….Fuck No!
My body follows and puts me on front of the barrel once more to protect her. How the hell did she now about this? Either way he won’t hurt her I couldn’t live with myself if I let him.
“There’s more than one bullet in here Riff I can happily put you down too”, Diesel says with conviction.
“Be my guest Deez killing her would be just the same as killing me. I don’t want to live in this world without her, she is my world. You will hurt her over my dead body!”, my voice echos. “That can be arranged.”, a smug look decorates his face.
Alright, I have three options here one, the bastard could kill me and i’m no help to Catalina; two, I can try to sweet talk my way out of this; or three rely on Tony to kick his ass and save us all. Think fast Riff you’re running out of time here!!
Everyone’s eyes are on Diesel and I awaiting our next move, my heart begins to race and I can feel my palms start to sweat. I attempt to keep myself together not allowing my fear to show.
“Didn’t realize you were carrying a rod Deez ya know that’s fifteen years in Attica maybe more if ya shoot. Really pangs me to wonder though how’d ya get it not even Tony and I could’ve swung that one.”, my voice full with admiration for his efforts.
“Oh well I know a guy. Definitely took some cash though but ya know i’m just that good.”, he takes the bait. “You are good i’ll admit that but, where’d you get the cash?”, I inquire.
Come on Tony.
“I wouldn’t worry about that buddy boy I just did what had to a be done like a real leader should do. I’m not just all talk.”, his voice ruthless.
Come on Tony.
I can’t hold him off much longer Tony better check back into reality soon or someone is dying tonight and it may just be me. “Cm’on why don’t we come together and finish off this rumble. Get our turf back, send these Porto Ricans packing and smoke some weed to celebrate.”, I attempt to bargain with him.
“Or I can gun you down, let you take your spic with ya and finish this fight myself.”, his index finger just one second away from pulling the trigger when Tony comes up behind him pushing his arm up knocking our fellow Jet to the ground resulting in the gunshot going towards the ceiling.
Screams from the girls mixed with gasps from both gangs are deafening. I duck quickly but, am slow to look back up. The gun slides across the shed toward Baby John who picks it up while Tony gives Diesel yet another beating knocking him out cold showing Maria just how he used to be.
Each punch echoing through the salt shed mixing with gasps and questioning murmurs as to what the hell was going on. I can sense the girls fear behind me as the scene unfolds and Diesel’s body stops moving but, we see he is still breathing; just unconscious.
While letting out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding in I turn and look at Catalina as the other Jets rush over to Diesel. “What the hell are you doing here?”, Anger for Diesel clear but worry for her also fighting it’s way into my words.
“The real question is why are you here!”, a mix of anger and anxiety occupying her; tears staining her once rosy cheeks. “Maria!” Tony’s worry now joining the party. “Anita!”, Bernardo also catches up.
“Okay we established the leaders girls are here now can someone tell me why we are here!”, Catalina yells clearly utterly annoyed by the lack of answers. “That dumbass challenged them to a rumble this morning over the turf.”, I finally admit.
“I thought you were done with the Jets! I can’t believe we are doing this again! Tony even you? I thought you both were changing for the better.”, disappointment crystal clear in her tone.
“Woah hold on Alta we were here to stop Diesel. We are here to protect you two because he threatened to expose you and Riff if he didn’t show.”, Tony defends us both. “Is that true?”, she looks at me apologetically.
“Yeah…i’m sorry I didn’t tell you but, I was trying to protect you and then you brought up the whole going public thing..it only furthered my need to protect us so we could.”, my long fingers intertwine with her small ones.
“Alta! Lo que está pasando aquí? (What is going on here?)”, Bernardo jumps in seeing our small affection. Suddenly, there’s a hit to the back of my neck sending me to the ground earning a scream from Catalina.
Both gangs proceed to war one Shark in particular destroying my ribs with what feels like a pipe. “Junior! Stop! Por Favor Stop!”, my girls scream deafening. A blow to my chest leaving me gasping for air.
His assault is brutal sending punches to my nose when he wasn’t beating me with a pipe nearly breaking all my bones. I do my best to fight back getting him off of me but my efforts aren’t enough when he pins me to the ground throwing punch after punch to my face, splitting my lip and sending blood to fall down my chin. I manage to push him off and look up.
In the quick second I manage to look up Bernardo and Tony are at it again blood freckling them both. When I muster enough strength to kick Junior off of me I steal his pipe away from him and though it is hard for me to stand up straight I do my best ignoring the pain coursing throughout my body, trying to catch my breath, the taste of blood settling in my mouth.
Junior is fixated on me anticipating my next move. Tossing the pipe aside I walk back to Catalina and pull her to my body.
“Get away from her!”, he yells at me. “Junior enough!”, she yells back. “I’ll be right back okay trust me.”, I reassure her before heading back into the mob trying to pull people part including Bernardo and Tony.
Once I got those two separated they helped end the fighting. Everyone’s breathing heavy, different bruises forming, blood covering us all whether it was our own or not wasn’t important.
“This isn’t worth it guys!”, my voice slightly hoarse but, I manage. “What are we even fighting over? I’m pretty sure we all have different reasons for being here?”, Tony joins me coughing up a bit of blood.
“Why won’t you guys fight?”, Ice steps up. “Because what exactly are we fighting for buddy boy? Turf being taken away by the city?”, I ask honestly.
“We was here first though.”, he counters my argument. “Doesn’t matter who was here first Ice what matters is what we do here.”, Tony says.
“Alta, Maria how could you both betray the Puertorriqueños like this? Falling for gringos?”, a Shark asks the two. “They fell in love. Love isn’t something you can control.”, Anita speaks up for us.
“Nardo. por favor, no te enojes. María y yo amamos a Riff y Tony. Antes de que digas algo escúchame. (Please don’t be mad. Maria and I love Tony and Riff. Before you say anything hear me out)”., Catalina comes up behind us. Bernardo gives her an angered look but, nods.
“No one could have planned this. I’ve grown up around the Jets since I was eight years old, Tony is my best friend and though he hasn’t always made the greatest choices he never put me in harms way and I know for a fact he does the same for Maria. You just met him and you didn’t even know he was a Jet till now, you just saw he was white and you jumped I guess understandably but not all Americanos are the same. As for Riff, I admit he has done some terrible things and I won’t excuse that but, he wasn’t always that way and he has changed. He never sent The Jets after you guys not since we’ve been together. If I could give him a chance to make up for those things, stuff i’ve been dealing with for years…why can’t you? Por favor…We love them”, her speech captures the attention of everyone in the shed even the half awake/ half dazed Diesel in the corner.
“You guys can’t be serious? In love with Porto Ricans?”, Balkan addresses us. “How does that even happen?”, A-Rab chimes. The rest of the Jets and some Sharks murmuring similar statements.
“I meant what I told Diesel earlier. She is my world. It may have taken me a long time to realize it but, I did and I spend a lot of time making it up to her. I know I have done some shitty things and I truly am sorry for those things I will do what I can to make up for them and show you that things are different now. Catalina is the most special girl in the world…I love her with all I am. I know Tony feels the same about Maria, i’m sure it’s the same love you feel for your girl. I understand you may never forgive me or any of us Jets for the hell we’ve brought to you but, i’m willing to put the differences aside.”, I hold out my hand for him to shake.
A burst of laughter comes from the corner,”You lot are a bunch of idiots! They aren’t in love with those spics they are using them to get to the Sharks.”, Diesel adds to the conversation. Baby John takes liberty and knocks him out once more. “Thanks Baby John”, Catalina says. He nods.
“I don’t know if anyone is ever going to be okay with this. A lot of damage has been done on both ends. Maria tu es mi hermana..I want to protect you and Catalina you’re like another sister to me pero, you’re both adults.” Bernardo looks between us two couples in front of him. “I’m sorry for everything.”, my voice apologetic.
“Me too. But I will make one thing clear to both of you and your gang. You hurt these girls, or any of us and we won’t hesitate to kick your asses.”, demand seeping through his words.
“You have my word. No commands for the Jets come from me. We won’t bother ya, you don’t bother us.”, I hold my hand out once more. Once we shake on it he grabs ahold of his girl and commands his gang to leave.
Each member holding a gaze on us couples in the middle of the shed. Junior lingering longer than everyone else. I notice Catalina give him an angered look and his face falling as he walks away. Her and Maria hugging Anita before she joins the rest of the Sharks in their exit.
“So uh what do we do?”, Ice asks. “You leave the Porto Ricans alone okay. Go get a life for yourselves, get jobs so you can take ya girls out on a nice date. I’m sure Karen, Velma, and all thems would like that. Protect them sure, but you don’t have to get violent to do it.” Tony says spoken as our true leader.
“What about Deez?”, Mouthpiece asks. “He turned on his own in a violent way what do you guys think we should do?”, I ask them truthfully.
The guys exchange looks amazed they have a say in this matter while simultaneously wondering what to do. I look at Tony who is now over by Diesel whom is slowly starting to wake again. I gather some input from the others before making a final decision.
“Diesel you are here by banned from being a Jet. You broke the pact of brotherhood. You are not to engage in any activity related to us and no one can tell you any business amongst us. We can’t stop you from talking to the guys but, you won’t know shit.”, my voice merciless.
“And if I don’t follow your rules? You know I could tell the cops everything.”, he argues. “Not without getting yourself thrown in jail. You brought the gun remember.”, I fight back. “You can’t just kick me out!”, his voice echos throughout the shed.
“We just did. You choose to disobey us and we will take action. Anyone who tells Diesel any Jet business joins him in exile.”, Tony ends the conversation and leaves Diesel to tend to his own wounds clearly pissed off.
The rest of the gang scatters there own ways probably to their girls so they can get themselves cleaned up. I however am greeted with a slap clear across the face adding to the beating my face has already taken.
“You’re such an idiot you know that! He could’ve shot you with that gun! Were you trying to get yourself killed. Imagine how that would’ve effected me! Te juro que casi me diste un infarto. (I swear you almost gave me a heart attack).”, she exclaims before grabbing my cheeks and kissing me passionately.
I wince in pain at first before reciprocating her actions. Her fingers begin tangling in my hair but, I have to pull away as my lungs are still recovering from the hit they took earlier. My hands gently push her away due to the new bruises forming and damn near broken bones i’ll need to recover from.
“You’re crazy girly girl.”, I chuckle. “Says the one who came to a rumble..without protection”, she counters. “Okay okay fine. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.”,my voice low and remorseful.
“Why would you stand in front of a gun for me dummy you could’ve gotten yourself killed.”, her brown eyes glossing over as she mentions it again.
“Better me than you baby.”, my right hand cups her cheek. “I couldn’t lose you. It would’ve killed a part of me. Then Diesel would have taken two parts of me”, a tear rolls down her cheek.
“Hey but i’m right here okay and i’m not going anywhere.”, my thumb wipes the tear and I plant a soft kiss on her lips. “Let’s go back to Doc’s and get some rest. Will you hold me tonight?”, her eyes plead with mine. “Of course I will let’s go.”.
As we are walking out of the shed I take one last look at all the weapons scattered on the cemented ground blood covering some of them. Before addressing the guys Tony told me he’d take care of the gun so no one would get caught with it. God knows what tomorrow will bring.
The sun began to rise as we make it back to Doc’s, an orange color peering through Alta’s window shading her body while she changes into her slip dress before helping me remove my shirt to examine the damage.
“You don’t have to patch me up doll. I’ll be okay.”, I speak in a low whisper. “I know you will be but after knowing you a decade you still seem to forget that I’ve been through these injuries with you before.”, she quickly leaves the room returning with a cold towel to hold against my ribs.
“I mean you need sleep baby.”, I tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. She ignores my words and continues to clean me up wiping off the dried blood from my lips.
“Alta I love you with all my heart and I appreciate you caring for me but, we both need to rest.”, my hands grab ahold of hers gently gathering her attention. “Okay fine..just let me put this stuff away.”, her voice soft and sweet.
Once she finally lays down in bed with me my arms pull her close to my body, face to face allowing my exhaustion to take over.
————————————————————————————Catalina Pov
As I lay wide awake listening to soft snores falling from Riff’s lips the events of tonight replay in my mind. I have known this man next to me for nearly twelve years and we’ve been through a lot.
I should be exhausted considering the rollercoaster of emotions i’ve endured in the last few hours yet, my eyes stay open taking in this moment of my sleeping boy.
My mind jumps though memories of us from when we were kids and we still couldn’t stand each other to the man laying next to me who was willing to die for me tonight above all.
God, I can’t imagine my life without him now that he is here, if Diesel had pulled that trigger one or both of us would’ve died. Either way a love would be lost. I feel him shuffling around to find a new position of comfort pulling me closer. A soft giggle escapes my lips.
“Don’t laugh at me girly girl it ain’t funny.”, his half sleepy self says. “Sorry mi amor.”, my head falls back onto his chest. “Ahora y siempre.”, are his finals words as he drifts off once more.
I wonder how i’m going to tell my Tia about all this tomorrow or well later on today. Guess we will find out when we cross that bridge. With a soft kiss to his chest, careful not to hit his bruises I finally begin to fade away into sleep.
