Pete PoV

I felt the sunlight hitting my face, today was especially hot. Just when I moved the memories of yesterday hit like brick along with the pain.

" Ugh, -" I growled, trying to get up but it took me a while to move even slightly. Then I noticed that now one of my hands was free from the cuff, but still, the other one was chained to the side of the bed.

Even though I was still chained now I had even more space to move. It allowed me to go up, and move around the room. Still, it wasn't enough for me to reach the door.

"Hey fasten up! Boss said to hurry!"

The sound of a few men passing just right in front of my door took my attention. It made me so worried that even though my legs gave up on me, I made my way to the door as close as possible.

"Don't make my father wait! Hurry we have to attack just in time!"

The voice was quite familiar to me, I immediately panicked when I heard his words. It could only mean one thing, they were going to raid the main house!

"VEGAS!!! VEGAS!" I screamed as loud as I can, hoping that he would hear me. But the sound came from so far away that I lost all my hopes.

Just when tears started to fill my eyes, I heard loud steps hurrying towards the door. I flinched when Vegas barged in, but the relief I felt was unimaginable.

"Pete! What happened?!" Vegas ran up to me just looking at his face was enough to know how worried he was.

The more I looked into his eyes the deeper I fell for him. Vegas looked so beautiful, especially today. His hair slightly falls to his face, and his shirt slightly opens showing his chest barely.

I stroked his cheek, Vegas smiled as he held my hand tighter to his face. Our foreheads touched I felt his warm touch on my neck.

That's when the realisation hit me. What would I do if he never came back to me? I couldn't lie to myself anymore, no one mattered. I only wanted Vegas to stay with me.

"Please Vegas... I'm begging you don't leave." I desperately held the collar of his shirt holding him close so that at least he could see the desperation in my eyes.

Vegas only stared at me, not responding anything at all. Which made me even more desperate I didn't want him to go, I didn't want to ve alone anymore.

"Pete, you must be tired. Come on let me carry you to bed."

"ANSWER ME VEGAS! TELL ME THAT YOU WON'T LEAVE!"

"Pete..."

I realised that no matter how much I cried to him it never would pass through his mind. Vegas was waiting for this all his life, now no one could turn him, even me...

Knowing that he wasn't going to listen to me only thing I could do was just give up on his arms crying my eyes out on his shoulders.

Vegas carried me to the bed, but he was different than usual. He only smiled at me softly stroking my hair, wiping away my tears gently.

"You're facing death Vegas..."

"I won't have regrets, Pete. Why are you crying for me, don't you want to be free?"

"I don't want it anymore, Vegas..."

When I said those words, I felt Vegas's eyes shine under the dim sunlight. I knew he also didn't want to, he knew now it didn't matter anymore. But I already knew he could only obey his father...

Vegas kept smiling at me like it was the last time he was going to see my face. He admired every inch and corner of my face it was like he was trying to burn my image to his memory.

Vegas took the glass beside my bed and slowly held the back of my neck to make it easier for me to drink. I took a few sips from it, the cold water made me relax a little.

"Pete, I'm sorry. For everything, I've done for you in the past..."

"You're sorry?"

"Haha... Now it's too late for it I guess..."

"Vegas please, think it again, maybe–"

"Pete, I want to tell you something, ... "

Vegas opened his arms and pushed me towards his chest. He hugged me tightly and caressed my back for a while. But then I felt a sudden hit, without being able to turn I felt my eyes get blurry.

"I love you, Pete. "

Just when I wanted to say something to Vegas, my body gave up. I fell back but I still felt Vegas's hands holding me tightly, gently laying me back down.

My sight was getting blurrier but the last thing I felt was a drip that fell right on my cheek, even though I was losing consciousness I saw the tears that fell from Vegas's eyes. Just like that, I closed my eyes falling into a deep sleep.

Vegas stood up, and slowly walked his way towards the door. He once more looked at Pete and smiled at his cute face which he doubt to see again.

"We were like the moon and the sun Pete,  you made me shine even in the darkness. But just like them, we weren't meant to be together..."
