VP's family outing ; untouched scars

Chapter 11 - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑼𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝑫𝒂𝒚𝒔 (2)

Pete didn't know how long he blacked out, his eyes were looking at the surroundings and it was still the same room, Pete looked beside him and realizes that his wrist does not have the chains, chained on him anymore.

Vegas's head was buried against his neck, sleeping, while his hands were tightly interlocking against Pete and his legs were crossed on Pete's thigh.

In another way, Vegas was still locking him up, just without the chains at this point.

Pete could not figure out why did Vegas do that, but he wasn't in the mood to think about that either, with the fact that Vegas brought him back to this room meant that maybe deep down that devil side of Vegas awakened?

With that insane thought that he had in his brain, Pete just couldn't handle everything and he just burst into tears, his body shivered and he was crying so badly that Vegas woke up instantly.

"Pete!Pete! Oh god, stop crying. It's -"

"Vegas, why are you doing this to me again?" Pete asked out he continued to cry as his hands were now covering his face.

"Pete! Stop, stop! I brought you back to talk!" Vegas exclaimed, trying to pull Pete's hand down to look at his face, but the more he did that, the more Pete cried.

"You could have talked to me anywhere else! Why bring me back here! You are just trying to hold me captive again!" Pete screamed out while now their eyes met and... in front of Pete was Vegas tearing up while Vegas' hands were just grabbing on the bedsheets and Vegas was now looking down, avoiding Pete's eye contact.

"Pete... I would never... never do that to you ever again..." Vegas said as he cried, while his head was still looking down and his hands were grabbing the bedsheets so tightly.

Pete froze, he didn't know how to react to Vegas breaking down in front of him and this was the first time that Vegas broke down because of him.

"Pete... I just thought... It will be good if we can speak at the place where I hurt you... Let you vent out your anger so that you can just walk out of everything..." Vegas said, still not looking at Pete.

But as Vegas explained himself, Pete looked around and realize that Vegas took out everything and the only thing left in this room was just the bed that Pete was leaning on now.

"You have no idea how I felt when I saw you so frightened against the chains sounds, I... I just wanted to help you walk out because it was all my fault..."

"But when I see you collapsed in front of me, I realize... I hurt you again..."

"The last thing I promised was to never hurt you and I broke that promise."

Vegas broke down in pain as his hands were now covering his face in pain, his sobbing voice was so clear to Pete that it broke Pete's heart instantly.

Pete moved towards him and hugged Vegas from the back with his head leaning against Vegas' shoulder, "I-I was just scared... You just brought me back here suddenly..." Pete said as Vegas cried even harder because that was never his intention.

It was never Vegas' intention to hurt Pete, and he couldn't even forgive himself for letting Pete faint because of extreme distress.

This will just be another guilt that Vegas might not forgive himself for.

The room was filled with extreme silence with Pete hugging Vegas tightly as he leans on his shoulder, "Pete... do you hate me?" Vegas broke the silence and asked but all Pete did was turned his face over, so that their eyes were meeting, "I don't hate you, I-..." Pete just couldn't continue his words.
