Runaway (little club)

Ch 25

⚠️ Read chapter before this one to understand ⚠️
Leo POV
I barely slept in 2 weeks since I left. Every time I closed my eyes I saw Raven...how he hated me. How I said I hated him too. It was bothering me but now as I woke up in a cold sweat. I knew it was something more.

The hotel I was staying at didn't feel like it did before. Something was definitely wrong, and I had a crippling fear I knew what it was.

The kids...

I jumped out of bed, hurrying and grabbing my stuff I had to get back. I needed to know they were okay. That Carly was okay. I got everything quickly and ran down the stairs, knowing the elevator would take too long. I checked out hurriedly and got to my car. Throwing all my shit I'm the back I started to speed down the road. I was about 5 hours away from the magical kingdom but I knew a shirt cut.

"Goddamnit!" I yelled, hitting the steering wheel as I was stuck in traffic. I couldn't deny the panic I was feeling. I had to get back.

I looked at my phone, questioning if I should call Carly.

"Fuck it" I said quickly picking up my phone and dialing her number. It went immediately to voicemail...that's not normal. Maybe she doesn't have her phone on her.

"Fuck!" I yelled out of frustration and stared at the traffic. I still had time to get out..I turned around the car in a quick manner nearly hitting another car in the process. I turned the car around and drove in the other direction. As fast as I could possibly go.

Speed limits didn't matter right now, the panic in my chest was rising. The closer I got to the magical kingdom the more I was filled with fear. I picked duo my phone while I was driving and called kelly. I really didn't wanna talk to Raven. He was the last of my worried right now.

"Come on, come on" I mumbled to myself as I kept glancing down at my phone hoping for a call back or something. Anything so that I could be at peace. I knew my decisions to leave would've been bad...I should've stayed. But I couldn't think about that now..not when I didn't know what the problem was.

"Fuck!!" I yelled slamming my hands in the steering wheel and hitting the gas at full force. I was getting angry...shit.

Driving at this speed was definitely not good for my car and I was definitely sliding on the road. But I didn't care, I couldn't care right now.

"Please" I whispered, begging for something, a sign even that I was close. Closer to the place I called home only 3 weeks ago, closer to my kids. Closer to my best friend Carly. Closer to the person I liked to call my sister Kelly.... Closer to him.

I never should've left.
In that daze of a moment j knew something I should've known a while ago. I was the stupid one. I was the one who left, nobody forced me to...they only tried to make me stay. Looking back in it now I should've stayed. Leaving was the worst mistake of my life. It put my family in jeopardy, knowing that they relied on me. It put Carly in jeopardy of having to raise those kids on her own.

She shouldn't have to go through that, alone. She was strong, I knew that. She was so strong but she couldn't do this alone and I knew that but I still decided to leave. Kelly, how much we talked about her problems. I was one of the first people she went to when she had a problem. We talked for hours on end about her boy problems and every other fucked up thing.

Me ranting about the problems with my brother and my own life. It was fun to make jokes that only we would understand. We knew each other well. She was never the type of person to force someone to listen to her, she just gave advice...good advice I should've listened to.

I felt tears blur my vision but I forced them away and continued to drive. Knowing how close I was to the kingdom. I was almost there.

Raven, fuck where do I begin? He was perfect in every way. His hair, his eyes and the way they shined at something he loved and when he was sad they shined. I always took his crying as hope because that's what I saw in his eyes. I loved him I really did. He was amazing even through the tough act he put in constantly. I knew the softer side of him, few people had yet to see that side. He deserved so much better than me. I left him... I was the one who fucked up and I can't blame him for hating me.

God, I would hate me too if I was in his position. But...I'm going to fix this. I just hope it's not too late...
______________________________
That was my last thought before I realized the sirens behind me. I pulled over almost immediately, feeling stupid and dumbfounded. That I didn't even realize the officer had come up to my window and started asking questions.

I didn't realize any of the answers and I was caught up in my thoughts. Panic was on my mind and I couldn't think. That was until he asked me to open my door and I had sones back in.

"What!?" I asked, realizing the question. He was calm but with an irritated voice he asked me to step out of my vehicle.

"Please step out of your vehicle sir, I don't want to repeat myself again" I nodded dumbfounded and got out. He put me in handcuffs. Before taking me to his car, I couldn't register anything.

Until I was in the police station and sitting in a jail cell. The officer looked at me before calmly asking me another question.

"One phone call, who is it?" He asked me. I shook my head and said their name.

"Little Carly, I need to call the princess" I stated almost sounding confident. Before he stopped and his face hardened at my request.

"Nice joke, try again" I stared at him, tilting my head in confusion.

"What do you mean..? I-I need to call little Carly..." I had to make him understand. I needed to apologize, say anything to make her understand that I'm happy to have these kids and be apart of her life.

"I said try again"

"Little Carly, I need to call her!" I nearly shouted. He stood up before walking over to my cell and standing infront of me.

"She's dead"

I'm back!!! I know I was gone for so long I was having a rough kind of month but I'm good now. Sorry for the long breaks and such but I should be back for a little bit anyway so sorry for the late chapter.
