Oscarr | Oscar Diaz

Joker

A while ago I was stood in front of a gun protecting someone I loved, now I was in Monse's room comforting her heartbreak.

Oscar didn't shoot that gun cause if he did, things would be a lot different right now. Instead he threatened Latrelle, made him promise he'd leave freeridge.

I think back to the words Latrelle said. Was he really telling the truth? I didn't know what to believe anymore.

"Night Monse" I whisper rubbing my her back.

I watch as she drifts to sleep, tears stained her cheek.  As much as I wanted to stay, I knew I couldn't, Oscar was waiting for me outside.

I plant a kiss on Monse's head before leaving. I dreaded what came next.

"How is she?" Oscar whispers leaning on his car.

"She's asleep" I reply closing the front door.

He opens the passenger side door motioning me to sit inside.

The car ride to his house was quite, I didn't know what to say and neither did he.

The silence has grew louder once we arrived at his house. Oscar had enough.

"We'll talk on the porch" He states stepping out the car.

I take in a deep breathe before following him.

He motions me to sit besides him on the steps.

"When did it happen?" He asks not making eye contact.

"After you and he met at the mall, he asked me out?" I whisper.

"And you said yes?" He shouts standing up.

I quickly wipe away my tears before standing up besides him.

"Oscar I'm sorry. I didn't know better" I cry.

"Sorry? He killed Miguel" Oscar snaps.

His eyes finally met mine, he was hurt and it was all my fault.

I remember Latrelle's words.

"He didn't kill Miguel" I snap back.

Saying those words out loud felt as if a weight had been lifted off my chest. Deep down I knew he didn't kill Miguel, I was just too scared to admit it.

"Alma you can't be serious" Oscar says shaking his head.

"He killed Miguel" he repeats.

There was no way he could've killed him. I remember that day vividly.

Flashback
(Chapter Gunshot)

"Santos" He whispers.

Shit.

Santos were patrolling the area. The footsteps got louder and louder.

Me and Latrelle quickly get dressed.

"To be continued Alma" He smiles opening the door.

"To be continued" I whisper pulling him in for one last kiss.

End of flashback

Think Alma think. Who was patrolling the area? Miguel and who?
