YOU BELONG TO ME

CHAPTER 15

Everyone was gathered at the air lift preparing to get on Christian's jet, including Mia. What they didn't expect was to see Jose pulling up. So of course everyone turn to Mia, looking for answers.

Mia knew her family was going to have something to say and told them either they get over it or she'd just let them go and be done. "He's the father of my child, you had to know I wasn't leaving without him."

"Fine he can come." Christian and Elliott was fine with him coming, they wanted to grill him any way.

Everyone got settled, Christian and Elliott took Jose to the back so they could have a nice conversation between the three.

"So Mr. Jose Rodriguez, how did you meet our sister? It's not like you didn't know who she is and what lines not to cross."

Jose knew what most people thought when it came to him, but he wasn't deep in his family business like that. He was a college student and wanted to become a teacher, working with the disabled and handicap children. He had an older brother that was born with ID (Intellectual Disability), but in family both of his parents were monsters. They mistreated his brother and he will never forget how they would put him out the house during the day no supervision. Then there was the day when they put him outside he wondered into the street and got hit by a car. Jose lost his brother that day and vowed vengeance on his parents for in his eyes they murdered his brother.

"Mia and I met when we literally ran into each other. We were both late for a class, not paying attention she fell backwards and hit her head. I picked her up and took her back to my dorm room, after about ten minutes she came too...."

Christian had to stop him right there just for a minute, not able to hold back his comment, "Let me get this straight, instead of picking her up and taking her to sit or a ER you take her to your dorm room?"

Elliott was on the same note. "Like my brother said, your story is not getting creepy at all. A stranger carrying our unconscious sister to your room."

Jose shakes his head letting out a quick chuckle, understanding where they was coming from. "I get it but it wasn't like that. Once she came to I let her know what happen, told her that maybe she should go to the hospital. She said no, that she would be fine. I knew who she was from the moment we ran into each other, but she on the other hand didn't recognize who I was. Once I told her who I was she reacted the exact way I expected, jumping up saying thank you but she had to go. She was still a little dizzy so even though she didn't want to, she had to sit back down. We started talking found out we had a lot in common, she found out I was the total opposite then my family. All that week we pretended to run into each other, until I finally just asked her out and she accepted. We both understood the danger of being seen together, which is why we did take precautions. We hung out meeting my dorm room ordering Chinese food, pizza a lot. If we went out together she and I made sure not to be recognized wearing hoodies, sunglasses crazy, silly stuff like that. Mia in the beginning had fun with it adding wigs. Mia knew this as while as I that this can't last forever. I had to come up with a way for us to be together without having to look over our shoulders. Before her I lived in loneliness, she is my world, I have no one else and I'm willing to die for her. She likes to joke about us being the new millennial Romeo and Juliet, but I'm going to make sure we don't experience their fate, especially now that she is pregnant."

As Christian and Elliott listen they both seem to come to the same conclusion, that he really does love their sister. But at the same time know this situation is a dangerous one to be in.

"I believe you." Christian tells him, but in that same breath voices his concerns for his sister safety. Asking about what he was planning and why was he keeping it from Mia?
