Heartless

Vincent felt guilty and wrong that he shot his friend. He shot me in cold blood. He felt lost in his head, he is so focused on keeping and helping his parents to stay alive and safe. He felt stupid but he knew himself has no choice.

Trevor and Vincent arrived at Vincent's house. Trevor pulls over to the side and parked in parallel parking. Vincent exits Trevor's car and walks to the front of his house. He is hoping that his parents are still alive. he put his hand in his pants pocket for his house key, but before he pulled out the key to open the door, it appears that Ronald is inside his house already. Ronald opened the door for Vincent. Vincent felt surprised to see him. Vincent came inside his house. he can feel the disaster waiting to happen.

"Hello Vincent how is your day," said Ronald

"Ronald what are you doing in my house, what did you do to my parents," said Vincent worries

" Nothing," said Ronald grinning

" Move out of the way," said Vincents, mad

Vincent pushes Ronald out of the way and same inside to see if his parents are okay.

" Hey, That was rude," said Ronald

Vincent ignores him, he does not care about Ronald, but he He goes to the living room and found his parents tied up on chairs, surrounded by five gang members. Vincent felt shocked.

" Mom, Dad," Vincent cried out, worried about them,
" Vincent, we're okay," said Mrs. Martin
" So have you decided yet," said Ronald
" Yes, yes, yes," said Vincent " I care about my parents, they're the most that I care about. So leave them alone. please."
" Very well," said Ronald " But are you sure,"
" Yes," said Vincent

Trevor came into the house with a big yellow envelope. Vincent felt confused and having anxiety. He is unaware of what is happening at this moment. Vincent already told them he decided to care mostly for his parents. He could think this would settle everything to be done by keeping his parents alive and hoping to have a normal life.

But Ronald has not confirmed as Trevor has witnessed Vincent's true intentions. In the envelope that Trevor brought has the evidence that he got from High School. He spied on Vincent while in school. Vincent has not thought of it.

" What is that," said Vincent, wondering what is the envelope,
" You will see," said Trevor,

Trevor passed the envelope to Ronald.

" Well, well, well, what do we have here," said Ronald
" So, Vincent," said Trevor " What did you do at school,"
" What," said Vincent, confused
" Would like to tell your parents about it," said Trevor
" What," Vincent confused
" It's alright, you don't need to tell them or us," said Trevor
" What does the school have to do with me," said Vincent
" Quiet," said Trevor, " you think you hide from us? we knew you were always hiding, feeling so heartless and can't even protect someone you care about."
" I...I..." Vincent tried to say something but felt afraid.
" what, what, are you going to say something? speak up," said Trevor

Vincent doesn't want to say anything

" What, did a cat catch your tongue," Trevor yelled

Trevor approach Vincent and slapped his face. Vincent felt hurt.

" Trevor, enough," said Ronald

Trevor stops himself before hurting Vincent more. He calms his temper down.

" Sorry, boss," said Trevor
" Please, what is it you're about to show me," said Ronald
" Well, what I was saying was, what did Vincent do at school," said Trevor, " But don't worry, Vincent doesn't has to tell you because I got the report,"
