Homesick
I opened my eyes and the first thing that greeted me was the sunlight.
I squinted my eyes trying to get used to the light and opened them fully when I did.
I took a glance around the room I'm at and realisation hit me that I'm trapped at the psycho's place till only God knows when. With a loud exhausted sign , I start thinking about my family and realise that I miss them so bad.
The door suddenly bursts open revealing Lorenzo wearing his signature grin. He was dressed in a black plain t-shirt that hugs his muscles and toned upper body nicely with a pair of black jeans and black Jordans.
He walks towards the bed and lies beside me before poking me.
"Wake up." He said a little bit too happy
"Why? Are you finally allowing me to go home and releasing me from this stupid place you've kept me in for 3 days?"
"Well unfortunately no. You haven't eaten any of the food Peter brought for you. So you're coming with me."
"No." Was all I said and closed my eyes shut , turning away from him.
"Tori" He warned. "If you don't get up , I'll tickle you."
"I will destroy you." I warned with the same tone he used.
"Okay you asked for it..."
Before I know it , I quickly jumped off the bed ready to attack while watching this stupid idiot laugh at me.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny." I say rolling my eyes at me.
"Come on. The food will get cold."
Lo takes hold of my hand as he leads me downstairs. We arrive at the kitchen to find Peter , Brandon , some other guys I don't know and Nick. All seated eating away their food.
Brandon makes eye contact with me and a small sly grin appears on his face.
"Nice for you to Join us Princess." Brandon cockily said.
"Call me that again , you'll wake up with one toe." I say blankly making everyone else laugh while Brandon gives me a glare.
Lorenzo then gives me my plate of pancakes and starts digging in on his. There was this huge uncomfortable silence around the air which was obviously broken by Brandon.
"Okay , since no one is going to speak , I will." Brandon says making the other guys role their eyes. "'My name's Brandon but you already know that" he said with a grin. "And this are Nicklaus , Peter , Hunter , Dennis and you know Lo. Gentlemen this is Victoria." He said
"Thanks for the intro man. Very much appreciated." Dennis said sarcastically.
"Well you welcome ." Brandon grins
I tone them all out as I stare ahead to Nicklaus. He's wearing black jeans with black Jordans and a white V-neck shirt that has small red spots that look like...blood? His knuckles were white with dried blood on them and his lip looked like it had been recently cut.
"What happened to you?" I ask curiously.
Nick quickly caught on that I was referring to him. He shrugged and said , "I killed a guy"
"You...you killed a guy." I asked shocked
"Mhmm" He hummed in response with the same bored expression on his face.
I turned to the guys expecting them to have some sort of reaction but to my surprise they were absolutely fine.
"And you guys don't have a problem about this?" I asked.
"It's Nick." Was Dennis' simple answer like it was nothing.
"Anywho, this has been fun but I must be going." I said getting up to rinse my plate.
"Go where? You know you're not allowed to leave the house." Nick said dryly.
"You can't keep me locked up in your house forever Nick! I know my rights!"
Why does he always have to be difficult?
"Victoria you have two options , 1. You be a good girl and listen to what I say or 2. You go to the basement. Your choice."
"The basement? Nick you can't be serious." Hunter said
"What exactly is your problem!" I yell , ignoring what Hunter said.
"My problem is you seem to be forgetting who you're talking to." Nick replied with a glare , standing up.
"JUST FUCK OFF!'' I yell.
"Make me'' Nick said blankly
"Ok enough of this'' Lo said as he threw me over his shoulder like I'm some sack of feathers.
"Lorenzo , What The Hell?!! Put me down!!!'' I said beating his stupid toned back with my tiny fist.
"You do know that i cant feel a thing right!'' He said cockily.
Asshole.
Lo heads us to the room i was previously kept in , once we made it inside , he placed me on top of the bed before releasing a sign.
"Vee , i know you hate it here but its for your own safety. Trust me i want you to go home as much as you do. Just trust Nick okay , he may be hard headed but he gives the best protection.'' Lo said softly while pulling me into a hug.
"I dont need protection from him.'' i say harshly
"trust me , you do. Alex made a huge deal out of you and those men wont stop until they found you.''
"But why me though? I dont even know them. I dont even know Nick! What business are you guys into anyway?'' I breath out heavily. I just wanna go home.
"All questions will be answered soon , i promise.''
Lo kissed my forehead before getting up and leaving me alone in this miserable room. I end up falling asleep and woke up about four hours later to a huge storm outside. I walk to the window and stare at the grey crying clouds and feel my heart be at ease.
"What you looking at?'' Peter asks , entering the room.
"The sky''
"Oh. Can i join you then?'' He politely asks. I gesture him to take a sit and wonder off to every raindrop.
"I like the storm.'' i bluntly say. "It lets me know that even the sky screams sometimes.''
"This is about Nick isnt it?'' Peter softly chuckles. "Hes not usually like this. In actually fact he's sweet.''
I scoff. "Sweet? Yeah right.''
"You better believe it. Why do you think im actually here.''
"why are you here?''
"Nick sent me to tell you that you can only go out if you agree to work at his old cafe downstreet.''
"And if i refuse?'' i raise an eyebrow
"Then you're stuck here''
"Fine. But i want 50% of it.''
Peter chuckles before getting up. "I'll let him know''
