I can't deal with all your lovers

parte cuatro: home

A clean, dimly lit room.
That's what Diego saw.It definitely looked better than the rest of the house.
His bed wasnt made, a few clothes were accompanied by some chip bags.

"Sorry about the mess, i haven't had time to do any cleaning."

Diego didn't mind, he was just happy he finally got to spend time with Vegas...
Alone..
Vegas started to clean up a little.

Diego sat on his bed.it was soft and comfortable.
He layed down.it smelled like him, it was comforting.
Vegas smiled.He walked over and laid next to Diego.
Diego blushed, he began to drift off to sleep.The smell of Vegas made him feel safe.

"Goodnight Diego."

Whispered Vegas, softly.

Later Vegas also fell asleep.
A couple hours pass and Diego and vegas are still asleep, they are unaware that Vegas's mom has come home drunk.

*Buuurrpp*
"V-vegas!!!.."

His mom walks to his room and bangs on the door,she tries opening it but it was locked.
Vegas wakes up to the lid banging and the door wiggling.

Shit...she's home...

"VEGAS IF YOU DONT OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR I SWEAR TO GOD ILL-"

Vegas opens the door.
He stares at his mom with an annoyed look on his face.
He blocks the view inside his room so his mom doesn't see Diego.

"Whaddya want mom.."

He waits for a response as his mom wobbles towards him.
She reeks of cigarettes and beer.
Vegas winches due to the putrid smell.His mom wraps her arms around him and hugs him tightly.

"My baby boy is all grown up, it was like yesterday I was holding you in my arms and changing your wittle diaper.."

For a moment Vegas feels at home, he likes that his mom is being motherly.
But that sweet moment fades as he remembers she is drunk.
He pushes her off.

"Is that all you wanted to say? If that's the reason then let me go back to sleep ."

She takes a few drunk steps back and smacks Vegas across the face.
Vegas falls to the ground, he wasn't expecting her to do that.

"That is no way to speak to your mother, especially if she is loving you."

She curls her fingers into a fist and starts hitting Vegas.He tries to get up but his mom pins him down.

"MOM"

He screams, he starts to cry.

"MOM PLEASE STOP"

She continues to beat him, he is unable to move.

"MOM PLEASE, HELP"

His mom doesn't seem to care.
Diego wakes up to the sound of Vegas's cries for help.He leaps out of bed and bursts thru the door.

His mom looks up at Diego
Then back down at Vegas.

"So when were you going to tell me you had a friend over?"

She hits him even more.
Diego is shocked, the first thing that comes to mind is saving Vegas.
Diego pushes the lady off and she falls to the floor.

"What the hell...WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU LITTLE BITCH!?"

She swings at Diego but Diego dodges the attack.
She loses her balance.
Diego then punishes her full force in the face.
She falls to the floor.

"Wow..."

He doesn't know what to say, so much has changed since he was over at Vegas's house.
He helps Vegas up and brings him back to the bed.
Vegas is motionless.
He whimpers in pain.
Diego's face grows concerned.
He doesn't know what to do.
Why would his mom do that?How long has this been going on?

Diego had so many questions bu the most important one was, is Vegas okay?
Vegas muttered something but it sounded like gibberish.
He motioned for Diego to come closer
Diego moves his head down, now his ear is just inches away from Vegas's mouth.

"Thank you for helping me.."

Vegas whispered.
Diego Smiled and laid down.
As Diego began to drift off to sleep he remembered that they had school that morning.

What time was it?!

Diego checked the time

5:34

He paused and thought,

It won't be bad if we missed one day of school?

Diego rolled over and went back  to sleep.
He dreamt about what they would do tomorrow,maybe they would go to the skatepark or skate around town.
Or maybe they would just stay home and chill.
Maybe Vegas would play Diego a song
That made Diego smile.
A few hours pass and Diego wakes up again.
It's quiet and cold.
He smells something cooking.
It smells warm, and sweet.
He notices that Vegas isn't in the bed, he gets up and makes his way to the door.
As he opens the door he remembers last night.
He felt bad for vegas. He wonders if he should bring it up.
Diego walked into the kitchen to find Vegas had made pancakes.
He sat down at the table and waited for Vegas.

"Goodmorning, how did you sleep?"

"I slept okay, it was cold though haha.."

There was an awkward silence

"Well sorry it's so cold,but i made pancakes."

"Oh thank you."

Vegas seemed upset.
I mean, he has every right to be upset.
His mom fought him!
Diego and vegas finished eating.
They cleaned up and went to go sit in the living room.

"So....your mom's not home?"

Vegas shook his head.

"She went out drinking this morning...again"

Diego felt bad for Vegas , he wanted to help but he didn't know how.
If he took Vegas and kept him at his house that would basically be kidnapping.
He needed to keep Vegas safe, who knew what else happened when no one was around..

"So what are we going to do today.."
...

"What?"

"I said, what are we going to do today? y'know...since we're not going to school?"

Diego was surprised that Vegas was asking that question.Usually he had to make plans.
Diego thought for a moment before answering.

"We could skate around town and maybe go to the movies.Then we could probably go to my place and hang out there."

Vegas smiled

"Alright, imma get ready and get my stuff!"
