Vegas & Pete - The reason why I love you

II - 4 Fracture

Pete

I'm tied to a chair with hands behind my back. The place is dark, frightening, the walls are moldy and I can sense how cold it is. I am afraid, I try to untie myself by moving in every side, but in vain. I feel moving around me, a person approaches.

I do not see him but I feel his presence. He comes up from behind me, holding a belt and begins to hit me. I can feel the belt's tearing my skin and I scream in pain. He puts his face close to my ear: - You are my pet and you must obey me!

- Ahhhhh I can't stop screaming!

- Ouinnnnnnnn! I am woken up by Venice's crying.

"Why do I have such dreams right now?" I think, as I run to pick up Venice and hug him tight.

- Calm down baby, everything is okay.

I walk back to the room and notice that Vegas isn't here. Where is he at this time of day?

I used to think all the bad stuff was behind us, but it seems like my subconscious is constantly resurfacing all the moments we experienced before we loved each other. I knew who he was when I made the decision to spend my life with him. I knew the evil as well as the good in this man then why now when we are so good together do I have to endure this!

I give myself a blow on the forehead, I wish to finish with all this.

I can' t tell anyone, including Vegas, so I scheduled an examination to see a doctor to get some clarity on this.

I hope he will be able to help me get out of this.

Suddenly Vegas walks into the room.

- Are you okay, baby? His step is unsteady.

- Are you drunk?

- Yeah, but that' s how we deal with business the best. Come on, gimme a hug!

He drops heavily beside me and rests his head on my shoulder.

- Pete.

- Yeah.

- Why is the baby still with you. Put him down so we can spend some time alone together.

- He woke up in alarm, he probably had a very bad dream so he has to rest in my arms to feel safe.

- Ok as usual I'm left behind! He said laughing. - Well, I'm gonna go shower and I do hope that when I return we can be a little bit alone.

I glared at him and then got up.

- I'm staying with Venice, you should get some rest.

He hadn't even shown Venice any affection, and that really pissed me off!

New

What a pathetic lie!

Why did I tell him that, I can see I hurt his feelings.

I can tell that Macau feels something for me.

When he said he wanted to have dinner with me he was so embarrassed that I knew something was wrong.

He and I feel so comfortable together, I have not been this close to anyone in a long time. I just hang out with him all the time. It started slowly because at first it was quite a fight, but I believe that we both recognized each other; two people a little bit left behind who needed to be taken care of.

And so it was. I cared about him and he cared about me, we talked to each other, we played games on our phones, we watched TV, we chatted, we had fun, we enjoyed everything together.

I knew that he has become the center of my universe and I never wanted to lose him.

For him everything is easy but for me ....

I just got out of a one-way love with Pete, though I now realize that I was admiring him more than loving him.

And if tomorrow I get face to face with Vegas what is he going to say?

- Yesterday you were stalking my guy and now you' re stalking my brother and then who will it be tomorrow?

He wouldn't take me seriously and I believe he would be right.

The whole thing is uncomfortable and I don't want Macau to be hurt by it.

Because I like him a lot and I don't want to lose his friendship.

I felt he was so close to asking me out so I said I had someone to keep him away but it was so mean.

I hurt his feelings and I blame myself.

My cell phone rings, it's Master Korn.

- Good morning, sir.

- Come by my office today, I have something to tell you.

- I'll come by.
