Chapter 28: Packing Up

"I thought I had myself all figured out
But I've spent my whole life holding myself down"
- Falling In Reverse
"Keep Holding On"

6PM…

Chuck was packing his things up. Leticia and Hugo help pack for Hugo together.

"Sure hope you, Chuck and Sheila stay safe." Leticia said,

"Gracias, Sis…" Hugo said as he looked at Chuck. "Can you check on Sheila? She hasn't said anything for a few hours."

"I'll do that." Chuck replied as he went upstairs.

"I feel bad for Sheila…" Leticia said, "She and her brother really lived a terrible life with their parents, huh?"

"Si…" Hugo replied, "People like her parents just make me sick to my stomach…"

"And the worst part, this is how the world is…"

"Mhmm…"

Chuck then saw Sheila sitting on a bed as she had her things packed.

"You ok?" Chuck asked,

"...I can't answer…" Sheila replied, "...I'm literally lost…"

Chuck then sat on the bed next to Sheila.

"Hey, I know it's really hard that–" Chuck said as he was interrupted.

"--Hard? It's a fucking nightmare!" Sheila shouted,

"Woah! Sheila!"

"I thought I was gonna have some trust ever since I decided to transition to a woman, but that didn't happen ever since my parents fucked me and my brother up only because we wanted to be who we want to fucking me! And now that they're part of this stupid fucking drug empire with Mr. Snap, I just can't take it!"

"Sheila, please, calm down!"

Sheila took a deep breath and looked away.

"I'm sorry, man…" She said, "I'm just done with this shit…"

"Don't worry, it's not your fault." Chuck said, "And you and Rufus running away from home was the right thing."

"How?"

"Well, we all know that two abused you and your brother for being a Trans woman and being Gay. And now they're part of a drug empire to try and find you easier."

"Well, what the hell do you want me to do? Kick their buckets?"

Chuck chuckled.

"I say Karma is the best bet for both of them." He replied, "And I guess killing them can get rid of your past…"

"Heh, you're making this sound like a game…"

"Well I don't. This right here is real shit."

Sheila sighed.

"Alright, I'll get them back for what they did to me and Rufus." She said as she got up. "And this time, literally."

"Good idea!" Chuck said as he also got up. "And make sure they don't lay a finger on your brother or your allies!"

"Right."

Walking downstairs, Chuck saw Leticia waiting for him.

"Ah, Chuck, I want to talk to you." Leticia said. "Can we go to the kitchen?"

"...Sure?" Chuck wonders.

The two then went to the kitchen.

"What's up?" Chuck asked,

"Since you three are going away, I kinda want to give you something…" Leticia replied,

"Ok, go on."

Leticia then gives Chuck a kiss on his face. Chuck blushed.

"Shucks, ain't you something for a future bandmate…" He said,

"Please be safe out there, Chuck." Leticia said, "And take good care of my brother."

"I will."

"And one more thing."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"Heh, I love ya too, even though we only met for a few days."

"Makes sense, but still, I really love a hunk like you."

"Appreciate it, baby…"

"Good luck."

"Thanks."

"De nada."
