His Queen

15.

Seeing the ones you love hurt
Always stays in mind
Even when the pain is needed
For them to keep feeling alive

"What happening" Amelia heart started to race again once she seen Victor and Rowy all covered in scratches and blood with clothes ripped apart. She jumped in place then ran to the bathroom for towels and anything medicine and ointment or bandaids she can find. She filled a small bucket of water and ran to kitchen. Victor and Rowy was standing awkwardly in the middle of the kitchen gray tile floor. They walked in and locked the door and not walking to get blood on in the living room rug they went to kitchen. 

"Sit" Amelia demand and gave them both a chair to sit on. She gave stuff for Rowy to fix many wounds as he can. She also gave him some extra clothes he could wear. Rowy left to the bathroom to get changed. While Amelia was wiping blood away on a grumpy Victor.

"I can do it" Amelia just glared at him and then he sat in silenced. She was impressed he still never flinch when she was cleaning him up and putting ointment on his cuts. She made him take his shirt that was already rip up badly to clean up his cuts on his back. He only shivered here and there when she touched his back. "You just got shot and stitches not even a full day ago. Now you show up on my door steep with more cuts. Your lucky you didn't open your stitches surprising"

"What can I say? Trouble always follows me. I guess I'm just that irresistible" He looks at her with a look and smirk. She stood frozen for a moment because it was a look she haven't seen in so many years. So many memory's came in her mind then she shakes her head. She clears her throat and grabs the clothes she put on the kitchen table. Rowy just walked back in the kitchen looking tired but better then before.

"Here. You should be okay now go get dress. Have you guys ate?" She gives Victor the clothes to his hands a bit roughly and then turned to Rowy with her hands on her hips. Without knowing Victor looks at her with a secret smile.

"No we haven't" Rowy says and looks at Victor with a raise eyebrow which Victor replies with shrugging his shoulders.

"Ok I will make something and then one of you will tell what just happened" Victor looks at her while she walks away and she felt his eyes on her. She smiles while getting the ingredients she needed. After she was done making the food she grab the bowls and filled them up and set them on the table.

"Chicken alfredo" Victor says quietly and grabs the bowl and fork. He takes a bite and instantly signs in delight. "It's good" He says then digs in for the rest. Rowy shakes his head and eats his but nods to Amelia showing his agreeing.

She proudly smiles and give them both a glass of lemonade. She remembers Chicken Alfredo is his favorite food and lemonade is his favorite drink. She sits down at the table thinking about the past. Of all the times a younger Victor used to get all grumpy when he couldn't have chicken Alfredo everytime they go out. Their families both have a weird thing that whenever you go out to see don't eat the same thing more then 2 times. She loves chicken tenders and fry's but her mom used to give her a look and say no. That they are at a nice restaurant and should pick something new or something more appropriate for her age. At the end Victor always end up getting her chicken tenders and Fry's and a strawberry shake.

After they ate Rowy quicky grabs their plates and cups to the sink to wash them leaving the two to talk. Victor glares while Rowy turns back and sticks his tongue out then turns around almost slipping when Amelia went to look at him. She laughs then grabs Victor's hand and lead him to the couch.

"Now tell me on what happened yesterday and today" She tucks her feet under her and gives all her attention to him without knowing it's freaking him out in the inside.

"Before I do what have you heard about me? The rumors? And what do you know about me?"

She looks at him and thinks about these questions. There has been so much talk and gossip about him for many years. She heard them all yet not fully believing all. It's so easy to believe one thing without much proof or little of it. There's always going to be more to something another lie or truth. It's how the world became to be but just have to follow heart and mind even when it's a confusing or hurtful path.

"I heard you murdered people and was  that your in a gang. Horrible, scary, dangerous, soulless is what I heard people say about you." She tells him while looking at the ground then looks up to him seeing him with no emotion in his eyes. Deep inside she knows who he is even when he tries to act like someone else. She is the only one that sees there are reasons and to see the true Victor behind all the walls he built up over the years. 

"What do you think" Victor said in a cold tone but can see in his eyes that what she will say next will impact him. She keeps looking into his stare and said,

"I think you know. I wouldn't be here if I thought the same" She gave him a cheeky smile and he rolled his eyes. He crossed his arms and huffed which is when Rowy came and sat across from them.

"Ok now tell me what happened" Amelia got serious and looked at the two men waiting for someone to talk.

"The rumors weren't exactly wrong"
