Back to you in every lifetime (Vegaspete Ff)

Chapter 19

Vegas's POV

I somehow manage to reach Pete's room, I sure stumble a few times on my way here but I manage to not fall on my face.

I am hella drunk, everything around me looks like they are moving and my throat is burning.

I am not a lightweight drinker, quite the opposite actually. It takes a lot to get me tipsy and I am shit-faced drunk right now so you can imagine how much alcohol I have in my system right now.

I spent my evening chugging alcohol because at first to distract myself from Pete and Henry's situation, then I kept drinking to forget about the fact that Pete will be gone tomorrow, for good, then I drunk some more to finally get the courage and go talk to Pete before he leaves.

I manage to open the door of Pete's room finally after several trials.

I stumble into his room only to see that its empty.

'Must be with Henry, taking care of his sorry ass' I think bitterly and I scoff to myself.

I decide to leave but my eyes fall on the bed in the room and I walk upto it, I am too tired to make my way upto my room anyways so I decide to lie down on the bed.

I sigh as soon as my head hits the pillow, more specifically his pillow.

It smells just like him.

I snuggle closer to it, wanting to get as much of his scent as possible.

As soon as I lie down all the tiredness from not sleeping for these past days come crashing on me and I feel my eyes closing on their own accord.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Father please I love him please. I will do everything you say please just let him go please I beg of you" I say, for the first time in my life on my knees, infront of my father, with my hand clasped together.

"This is pure form of lunacy. Love? You to him? Impossible. A man cannot love a man" my father says looking at me with disgust clear on his face.

Tears continue to stream down my face "I-I will stop father. I will stop loving him. J-just please let him go. Your guards are beating him, he is not well father please I will do everything you say" I say choking and sobbing in between sentence.

"Get up! You are a prince don't let people see you as a pathetic lunatic who claims to love the same gender" my father says.

I shakily get up on my legs.

I feel so useless.

I am the prince of this kingdom, soon to be king but I cannot save my own love.

But I am helpless, my father has 10000s of soldiers and I am on my own, and the more I try to rebell, the more they increase the torture on Asa.

I killed the two men who arrested Asa but that only resulted in them beating Asa till he passed out.

I don't know what to do.

I feel so so helpless.

Asa has been sick for the past fewdays. I was concerned about him, he started to vomiting almost everyday. At first we thought it was flu or something but it didn't stop, infact Asa started getting weaker day by day.

And now they are torturing him.

I am standing still infront of my father when a sudden scream echoes throughout the room.

My head snaps up at the familiar voice.

Its Asa's voice.

I start looking around the room but ofcourse there is no one except me and my father.
