VegasPete: NEVER NOT YOURS

TWENTY SECOND • Never Not Yours

Vegas and Pete are back to what they used to be. They also clarified their relationship with each other and made it official only in their circle of friends.

But Pete doesn't seem happy. When Las found out the news, he didn't see much of Pete anymore. Las tried to avoid all chances of seeing Pete.

In his mind, If I can leave EVERYTHING to my brother, why can't Pete too, right? asked himself laughing.

Jay finds Sunee cute and lovely, the two start getting to know each other. The whole circle were happy throughout the last month they were together in the University.

Now Vegas and Las are graduating, while Pete is enrolling for the new school year first semester.

It's only a few hours and the graduation will start, "Are you okay waiting here? The ceremony will take a long time, you'll be bored." asked Vegas.

"Yes it's fine, as long as I see you go up on stage and receive a diploma." Pete said smiling and stole a kiss on Vegas lips.

Vegas laughed lightly and kissed Pete on the forehead. Vegas then left and lined up.

Pete touched his forehead where Vegas kissed him, slightly feeling sad for an unknown reason. He turned to where Las was standing in line.

He wanted to approach Las and greet him but something is holding him back, it was Las' eyes that seemed to be hurt when they last talked.

Pete shook his head to get rid of his thoughts. Sunee returned to his side with food and the graduation ceremony began.

They just watched until late at night.

Graduation is over and they are greeting, congratulating each other. The parents in attendance were applauding, only now did Pete notice the surroundings.

He looked around and felt a strange feeling. He had a bad feeling about what was going on and he was even more nervous when the lights went out.

Pete took out his phone to use his flashlight but before he could raise his hand, someone covered his mouth.

The man took Pete somewhere before releasing his mouth. Pete was surprised to see it was Las. He took a few deep breaths and,

"Hey don't cry." Las wiped Pete's face full of tears.

Pete rested his forehead on Las' chest, "I was scared." he just sobbed while Las hugged him.

"I'm sorry. I'm just scared too, something seems strange and you're the first thing I thought of."

"What is this feeling, Las. What is this?" Pete whispered softly between his sobs.

Las raised Pete's head and gently kissed him on the forehead. Pete suddenly felt safe and somehow happy but he suddenly moved away from Las when he remembered Vegas.

Las moved into tears when he realized the reason, he smiled bitterly at Pete. "If you only knew.." said Las.

He was surprised when someone suddenly pulled Pete.

"Anchali, what are you doing with my boyfriend?" Vegas emphasized Las' name.

Pete wiped his tears and held on to Vegas' arm, something that made Las' heart ache.

Suddenly there were shots fired somewhere, Las was about to approach Pete but Vegas pulled him to the parking lot.

"Vegas, I'm hurting. What the hell!" Pete pulled his wrist away from Vegas and held it.

"Don't call me Vegas!" Pete was shocked because this was the first time Vegas had ever yelled at him.

They got into the car and hurried away.

"Vegas slow down!" Pete shouted because Vegas was driving the car so fast., "Vegas you are not like this. This is not so you! Calm down and stop the car!"

Pete repeatedly yelled at Vegas but it didn't seem to care. He took his phone out and texted Sunee about his current situation.

Sunee asked where Pete was but even he, didn't know where they were because he couldn't even see the road. It was all blurry.

"Vegas, what's going on with you?" asked Pete., "If you love me, answer me! Don't make me look like a fool here!"

"I just found out something I shouldn't have known. And I am disgusted! Why did that have to happen? Can't I just be what I am now and be that forever?"

"Vegas calm down, what are you talking about?"

"Can you please stop calling me Vegas? I am n-

CRASH!
