Want Me

Chapter 9 - Hope

V was in a different hotel across the city, she was grateful she ran into Mr. Compress in the hallway. All she said was "Dabi and another girl" and he immediately took her down the service stairs made a phone call and sent her to a new hotel. Before she got in the car she saw her phone had messages from an unknown number. She opened it and the message she saw was "He's mine" with 3 attachments. She opened the first image and almost threw her phone but Mr. Compress grabbed it from her before she could. He had given her one of his phones and said only he had the number to it and if she made a call the receiver would get an unknown number message.

She was so thankful for him, he really knew what he was doing. V got undressed and sat in the shower for almost an hour and cried until there was nothing left. She was trying to figure out what she was upset with the most. Dabi with that person, that he didn't trust her enough to tell her his real name, at herself for falling for him? What was she doing all this for? She closed her eyes and remembered her daughter's laugh and her husband's touch. She knew they would want her happy and not lost in revenge. Why had she fallen in love with Dabi, what was the difference between how she felt about him and Shigaraki? Shigaraki reminded her of how kind her husband was, she would be happy with him. But deep down her heart called for Dabi. She thought about the first time she saw Dabi but before she got lost in thought she decided to drag herself out of the shower and into bed. As much as she tried only thinking about the good moments, she just couldn't get the image of that girl with Dabi out of her mind.

V wanted to send a quick message to Shigaraki so she called the front desk of their hotel and had them deliver one to his room.
'it's V, I'm safe. I'll talk to you both when I'm ready'

She turned on the TV to play some old black and white romance movie. She use to wish she would find the kind of love in movies, sweep you off your feet, big grand romantic gesture type of love. She curled up and cried until her body shut off and she fell asleep.

The concierge quickly walked up to Mr. Compress and looked nervous, "Excuse me Sir, I'm having complaints that your guest is destroying the room. I would hate to ask you to leave but if something is not done about him I won't have a choice."

Kai looked at the concierge, "I'm in charge here, why are you telling him. They belong to me."

Mr. Compress calmly ignored Kai and spoke directly to the manager, "I will personally take care of it and of course I will pay for all damages, double. Will that be fine?"

"Yes sir, but please hurry. He is becoming very loud."

"Yes of course." He walked towards the elevator with Shigaraki and Kai quickly following.

"Who do you think you are, I manage this band. They belong to me."

This was the first time Shigaraki saw Kai lose his cool, he didn't know this Kai at all.

""I was hoping to do this after the tour but it looks like it can't be helped. Shigaraki, I'll take care of Dabi but can you get everyone else together and meet in Keigo's room please."

Shigaraki looked to Kai but nodded, "yes, sir."

Mr. Compress looked at Kai, "You have been relieved of your position. I will be taking over from now on, you are more than welcomed to stay on as an advisor but as far as making decisions concerning the future of this band, I will be the one to do that."

Kai's face became red with anger, "You can't do that, I have the contract. This is mine."

"Was. As for the contract I think you missed the part where we can remove you in extreme circumstances. You will still be compensated."
