Help me to love again (finished)

Chapter 35 : « I don't want you to hide things from me anymore. »

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Following what is currently happening between Bible which has unfollow Build, which obviously marks the end of their professional and friendly interaction (I don't know?) I decided to no longer call myself bibluidship on Wattpad but to continue to write VegasPete fanfiction.

I changed my username and decided to open up to other BL couples and write about the ones I like to see act the most.

Vegas

The fact of having to bend in front of my father while Pete and Kim are there does not suit me at all.

The fact that Pete is mad at me for finding information about him doesn't suit me at all. If I did it, it's just for fear that he won't tell me anything anymore but he was right... I would have had to wait until he was ready. Now he surely doesn't trust me anymore.

We arrive in my room and I put my bag on the floor, furious.

- Fucking shit...

Pete steps back and Kim keeps silent, knowing perfectly well that I don't control myself when I'm angry.

I go to my office and shout:

-Close the door. I don't want a visitor.

I take a black look at Kim so that he understands that I am addressing him. Pete looks down and curls up in a corner.

- Pete... don't take this attitude. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not the type to let off steam on the people I'm interested in. (I sit at my desk, the air is.) in fact.... I am ready to do anything for them and sometimes my actions can be misplaced. I was afraid... that you would never tell me why you are staying with Porsche so I asked Kim to investigate you and Porsche to better adapt my strategy to save you from him. I should have done otherwise. I offer you my most sincere apologies.

Pete straightens his head, looking shocked that I'm sorry.

Kim remains silent and prefers to unpack meals on the small table near in front of my desk, surrounded by a comfortable armchair on which you can sit.

Pete walks forward a little and says:

- I... I appreciate the fact that you care about me. You are the first to do it in years. Porsche and I got into the habit of hiding the falsity of our relationship and you discovered everything in less than two days... how did you notice that I was being beaten, abused and raped?

Kim answers in my place.

-Vegas is a genius. He notices things that no one sees. Also, he suffers the violence of his father. People who are abused recognize each other.

I shake my head.

-Exactly. I am a genius. I skipped three classes. I finished first in the class every time. But this year... I'll let you be. I know you're the best of your class... your grandmother will be proud of you thinking you can surpass a genius.

I look Pete straight in the eye. He stiffened, finding in strange doubt that I mention his grandmother but do not comment.

He is getting a little closer.

- My grandmother suffers from heart cancer. She's been fighting against it for 4 months.

- I know. This fact allows me to say that we are much closer than you imagine. My mother died of a heart disease and I feel immense pain to know that you are going through this too in addition to what Porsche is doing. Only exceptional people can overcome what you are overcoming..

Pete has bright eyes. Kim, who sat down, is watching the scene. I get up from my chair and head towards Pete to take him in my arms.

- You may not be a genius Pete but you have something I don't have yet: incredible stability and mental strength. You asked me what interested me about you apart from your submission. My answer, I will give it to you: it is your ability to stay up despite everything you are going through. Your simplicity intrigues me a lot. The way you see life intrigues me a lot. That's what makes me want to know you more deeply, beyond of course fucking you like an expert...
