Vegaspete: College Universe

Chapter 27

My eyelids were heavy, soon sleep washed over me and I went into my deep slumber, if not for the sake of time I woke up because of the noises I was hearing as if earthquake has wrecked everything up.

I found Vegas throwing the stuff around, I could feel the rage he has in himself, it does makes me shiver, should I go and face him or just pretend to sleep?

Before my mind could even decide my steps were directed to him, his movements halted but not for the better, I saw a bruise on his cheek and his lower lip has a little one too, and the way he was reacting it wasn't difficult to guess from whom it was, that bitch, Kant.

I reduced the distance just to inches, my fingers tugged at his rough and bruised hands, but I was looking in his soul, searching for answers, he clenched his jaw, trying to hold it in.

"Vegas." A deep breath escaped his mouth, I know he needed me and the reason all of this is happening was partially me and it's happening for the better but with a rough way.

"Look at me... What happened to you? "

"Nothing happened to me, go and rest... "

"Vegas...can't you confide in me? Am I that much unreliable to you? "

"Haven't you realised it enough that being close to me can get you at the verge of hell? Your grandparents are hurt because of me and you too were almost sold by them if not for Chan... He told me about it beforehand... And from now on I am not letting you to be a part of it..."

"What do you mean by all this? "

"I  am sending you and Your grandparents to a safe house with security... Stay there until it all cools down. "

"What about you? Aren't you coming? Do you really think I will be going if you denied? "

"I am returning back to my work... That's the way to set things the way they were.. "

"The way they were?"

"Yes... Before I met you... Your life was calm and good, and it will be from now on...without me."

" Have you gone mad or what? It could never go back... After all that you did to me and still made me fall for you... You are saying to go back... Brave enough to imagine I will let you go like that. "

"Don't argue Pete, it's for your sake, I am doing it all for you. "

"You are aware of what are you talking? Can you see me living happily without you? With someone else? "

"As long as you are happy I am good with it... Cause I can never let you be hurt because of me... My world is too venomous for you to live. "

"You are hurting me right now...but listen it carefully... Whether you want or not... I am never gonna leave you until I die... So you better kill me then letting me go. " I was shaking, but that didn't stopped me, I sped back to the room, banging the door shut... The person for whom I never gave up wants me to let him go for my own fucking sake..

Tears stained my cheeks, I was trying to calm down myself but I couldn't, when I hear the door opening, I just became too quiet for him to notice.

He crouched down to my side, he was sitting on the ground, trying to see me, I quickly changed my side, I don't want him to see me crying.

"Look at me na... I am.. I am sorry... Please... I said it for your sake... You know for better that I can't survive without you. "

The sniffles I was holding back weren't quiet anymore, he hugged my back and I hid my face.

" You know what there was a time you were literally dying for me to stay away from you and look at you now... Did you love me that much? "

I nudged my elbow in his stomach... And with a force, he really messes me up everytime he is upto something.

"I hate you. "

"But you love me too. "

I sat up, taking the pillow and hitting him, he was though laughing but soon he held my wrists and pulled me over his chest, I hit him again but soon I was calm, his heartbeats were my solace.

" My dad hit me again for being a  waste for him, he wanted me to go again, and he was threatening me with you... I was scared... I don't wanna lose you.. Like my mother. "

"You know about your mother's death? "

"She isn't dead. "

"What? " I squinted my head... How?

" When I was in hospital and you weren't there when I woke up, kinn and porsche were searching for you, Chan visited me, I told him and asked for help, he too was willing as he is originally Uncle Korn's favorite who later has to work under my dad because uncle wanted him to help, but she is hidden somewhere, I don't know where, but that day he was asked for executing her body, but instead he took her to a hospital and helped her in staying alive. "

"Did your father know about it too? "

"He doesn't...but if I rebelled and he came to know about it...everything is so messed up. "

"But you are more competent than your dad... Why are you still scared? "

"It's not fear... Doing things reckless isn't my kind of thing... Give me some time...until I find her and make sure she is safe. "

"That's why you weren't going against him until now. "

"I can't loose any end for him to suspect on... He is more powerful than you imagine. "

"I will help you in finding her. "

"Obviously you are my little Sherlock Holmes who loves attracting troubles. "

"Shut up... I am still angry over you... "

"When you went back to your house... Actually all these days I have been thinking about it, the way my life has been since I discovered about my mother being innocent and alive and especially when you confessed to me... I wanted my family to be safe... But dad... I just don't know what to do with him... "

"Your uncle can deal with him... "

" No... It's my fight which on one can do it for me... "

My stomach churned and made an embarrassing sound... Such a wrong timing... I facepalmed myself when I heard him chuckle.

"Hungry? "

"Your dad didn't let me finish me meal. "

"Don't worry, I will. "

"No.. Don't go... "

"Then how will I get food for you.. "

"I am coming too.. "

"But you are... "

"Shut up... I don't trust you after what you said before... What if you leave me like that?... Now pick me up... I am too tired to walk. "

He smiled, but I could see the pain of my words behind it... I held on his shoulder and he gave me a piggyback ride to the kitchen. I was put down on the counter and he made noodles for me... I was watching the food intently..as it's therapy for me.

Note: could you also find Vegas's mother? But don't spoil in comments... I think you can😅
