I Don't Need You

Chapter 6: Damage

Theo's P.O.V

My hands were  shaking as I repeatedly kept clicking on the laptop that I wanted to snap in half.

Shawn repeatedly shake my shoulders to get my attention. I was blurring everything out as the words This Folder is Empty is on my screen.

"How did the flash drive erase everything. We typed up all the reports with copies " Miles said running a hand through his hair and inhaled his ciagraette.

I had a flash drive filled with all of the our information I had on Zachary and his fucked up gang. I didn't leave the proper way but I was not going down without a fight.

"It is all gone." I said slamming my laptop shut. I was so close to erasing my past but now it felt impossible.

The stupid dance was tonight.

I exit the apartment with Miles and Shawn behind me. We all made our ways to our cars. I sighed looking up at the stars wishing for things to go my way for once.

I kept a low profile before but now that I killed one of Zachary's guys, he is out for revenge. I just needed enough evidence to gather proof he was double crossing the gang. However, all of that has been erased from my laptop.

Shawn gave me a knowing look before driving off in his car leaving Miles and I.

"We need to stay close to the Girls tonight" Miles said with emphasis as I sighed opening my car door.

"Whatever" I said as I was about to get in but Miles placed a hand on my shoulder to stop me.

"You know that Amelia can be in danger." Miles said with a frown.

"Yeah, so" I said shrugging it off like it wasn't a big deal. However, I am fucking aware what Zack is capable of.

"Listen, whatever went down between the both of you can be fixed." Miles said and I felt a guilt entering my stomach.

"I am trying man" I said starting my engine ready to head to the dance.

Miles signal me over with the girls at the table and I feel an instant relief spotting Amelia. She was drinking away while laughing charismatically. I feel a nerve pinch when I notice some guys checking her out.

I take the flask out of her hand drinking out of it smirking as she glares at me. This attention caused the guys to look away from Amelia. She stood up to  walk towards the dance floor with Kayla and Aria. I sighed gulping the rest of her flask as Miles chuckled at my cocky little move.

"Watch them" I demanded heading towards the supply closet and knocked it three times. The door opens slowly making me force it wide open storming in with my gun out. I kick the door shut as I stared at an intrigued Zachary while he was already snorting his own samples.

"Looks like my former member came to say hello" He said raising a hand up for his members to put away their guns.

"Where are my files?" I  asked as he  laughs making me clench my jaw.

"I don't know what you are talking about." He said with a smirk.

"How did you get the files?" I asked putting the gun down. He pretended to think about what to say trailing away.

"None of your business." He said with a grin. "Oh wait, I am sure you remember Harry." Zack chuckled. Zachary begins to gloat about Harry's skills and impressive hacking skills. Harry was a genius but an asshole. I grabbed a bag of coke and stuffed it in my jacket as Zachary looked like he knew I was going to do that.

"Collateral damage. You got what you wanted" I said opening the door but stopped mid-way when Zachary called my name.

I observe the room realizing that Harry wasn't in the room. As Zack's right hand, he should be here. It took me a minute to realize Zachary was stalling me.

I opened the door running through the crowd like a lunatic. I needed to find her.

"THEO" I heard someone shout my name.

I turn around with instant relief but quickly shifted to annoyance.

Francesca walked up to me and I looked around thinking of an east escape from her.

"You promised me a dance." She said putting her hands on her hips.

"I don't dance." I said and ready to leave her side until. I notice a bracelet on her wrist. "Who gave you this?" I asked taking her wrist in my hand.

She smiled thinking my attention was warming up to her. However, these bracelets are created by the Venios. This is the way they track girls with the chip inside ready to listen and it is programmed to drug you.

This has to be new because I never seen her with this on.

"Harry gave it to me." She blushed admiring it.

I quickly snapped the bracelet off and stomped on it for the shattered pieces to go across the floor.

"What the fuck Theodore? You don't have to be that jealous." Francesca whines and I shook my head.

"I am never jealous." I said and quickly sprinted away from her to look for Amelia.
