Love is a Broken Window | Cricky [C]

| Chris' POV |

Everything has slowly been building up to a horror movie climax. I'm not letting that happen though. Nothing is going to happen like that, not on my watch. I drove across town, alone mind you. I was a strong enough man to hold my own.

This could end either really well or terribly. I went over to Jani and December's townhouse. However I purposely came when Jani was at work, so I was only confronting December. He was a much smaller man than his brother, which makes it easier for me to overpower him.

I knocked heavily on the door. It echoed throughout the house. December opened the door, with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

"What do you fuckin' want?" He sneered.

"Funny to think you were nice to me last time I saw you." I replied. "I want Shiloh and Clairea back."

"You won't find Shiloh here." He said, fighting a smirk.

"And the cat?"

December shrugged. I growled and pushed him out of the way of the doorway, walking in the house. "Hey!" He snapped. "You can't come in here!"

As I walked in, the cat immediately jumped up on the back of the couch and started pawing at me. I scratched under her chin, checking her collar just to make sure it wasn't a cat that looked like Clairea. It was Clairea though.

"So, where exactly is Shiloh?" I asked.

December's mouth laid open. He signed, looking down to the floor and taking a puff off his cigarette. "He's not here anymore, and the cat is half Jani's."

"He still can't kidnap him. And that argument wouldn't hold up in court, because Ricky is the one that takes care of her." I stepped up to December, pressing him against the wall. "Now tell me, December, what happened to Shiloh?"

He gulped. "I won't tell you, but I will let you know that he's fine... kind of."

I grit my teeth. "Where is he?!"

December flinched. "Jani dropped him at town square. He was pretty out of it because he was drugged."

"Hm, thanks." I groaned and plucked the cigarette from his mouth. "Smoking is bad for you, you know that." I took his smoke and pressed the hot end into his neck. December screamed, and I told him, "Leave my family the fuck alone."

He took a few deep breaths, still reeling from his burn. "Look, I-I just do what my older brother tells me."

"Do yourself a favor, and don't." I scoffed.

I pushed him into some shelves in on the wall. He yelped in pain, and I simply walked away. I picked up the cat, leaving out the open door. I slammed the door behind me.

I stopped by Kuza's, knocking on the door. He let me in, telling me Ricky was in the shower.

"I see you found the cat." Mike said.

"Yeah, you're okay with her staying here with Ricky, right?" I asked.

"Oh yeah." He smiled and pet her head. "I love pussy." He winked.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh yeah, that's why you were all over Jani at New Years."

He shrugged. "I swing both ways when I'm wasted."

"Then don't get drunk while my boyfriend is here." I replied.

Kuza chuckled. I heard the shower turn off, making me even more anxious to see my love. It's been difficult not seeing him every second of everyday. We're so used to touring and living together twenty-four/seven. Mike and I talked for a few more minutes, until I heard the bathroom door open.

Ricky walked down the hall, with his hair still wet and only jeans on. He smiled when he saw me and ran up to me, hugging me. "Chris, I missed you."

"I missed you too, Babe. Look who I found." I said as I gestured towards Clairea.

"Clairea! Oh my God." He smiled ear to ear as he picked her up. "Where did you find her?"

"I went and had a... conversation, with December. He told me what I needed to know. Which reminds me, I need to go find Shiloh." I said. I leaned over and kissed his forehead. "I love you. Stay safe."

Ricky smiled softly. "I love you, too."
