I Choose You [VegasPete]

Chapter 4 : It'll Be Alright

It's been awhile for Pete to step his foot to this house.

The main family house.

Right after Vegas' death, he got hospitalized for two weeks and after that he went straight to go to his hometown. All his stuff from the main family house was sent to him to his hospital room, he said himself he didn't want to go to this place again. All the good memories from his years serving on main family house is gone, replaced by only the terror and horror from that day.

The day when the minor family decided to attack the major family house.

He witnessed not only Vegas' death, but also a lot of his colleague's deaths. It was a very horrible day and he knows by heart, that day will come again. Not so long from today.

Now he's thinking about it again, he should have gone to the doctor. He has a lot of trauma and doing some time traveling things doesn't make him lose his trauma. It's still in him. Rot in his deepness of soul.

"Pete, are you okay? You look pale." Porsche asks him softly. He looks concerned.

Pete just nods and continues to walk to his and Porsche's old room. In the process to the said room, there are a lot of eyes who look at him disgustingly. The news about him becoming a 'traitor' already spread fast then. It makes him feel like a shit, but he knew he would face this on the day when he decided not to step into the boat and run away from Vegas.

When Pete and Porsche are alone in their room, Porsche unlocks the handcuffs on his wrist.

"I really hate to see you like this Pete. You are not a traitor. You must have your own reason to do this, right?"

Porsche asks once again, the same question he asked Pete when he found Pete alone in the safe house.

"Pete."

Pete's heart dropped and he suddenly felt panic when he saw Porsche in front of him. Pete was waiting for Vegas' return from Macau's place. But something must have happened after Vegas' father found them here, that's the only logical thing why Porsche (and of course Kinn) knew this place and stood tall in front of him right now.

"Porsche."

"What the fuck is happening with your face and body? It's new bruises, Pete!" Porsche looked at him, from the top of his head till his barefoot. Analyzing something. Pete knew it. "Vegas did this to you?"

Pete shakes his head firmly. "It's not him, it's his father."

Porsche took a deep breath and dropped the topic, but Pete knew he would ask about this again soon.

"Kinn is waiting in the car, I asked him personally to have time with you alone." Porsche sounded tired. "I come to pick you up, let's go home, Pete."

Pete gave Porsche a faint smile.

"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind right now, Porsche. But I can't leave Vegas this time."

Porsche frowned at him. "I don't know what's happening between you and Vegas, but you know... if it's not you; someone who is dearly to me and Kinn, you already shoot to death the moment main family members find you here."

There was a horror in Porsche's voice, but what Porsche said didn't scare him a bit.

Pete knew the consequences of his actions and yet he still chose this. Porsche talked to him and Kinn personally went to this place, it's all only because it's Pete. If it's another main family bodyguard, Kinn will only ask one of his underlings to come to this place, force him back, ask him for his wrong-doings, and kill him at the end.
