Kelani
Mateo closes the door behind him when he steps into the office and my shoulders are tight as I stare at the door in absolute confusion and anxiety. Cherrie rushes past me and to Ace, "you know what's going on don't you? What is it? What's going on in there?"
Ace drops his eyes from her, his usual perfect posture is sad and slouched. Miguel approaches mum and she grabs the hem of his shirt "you better fucking talk", he looks down to her with a sigh.
His head turns toward me, I can't speak, I don't even know what to say, I'm so confused and the catastrophic overthinking is flooding my head. Miguel looks back to mum, nods once and he cups her face "solo sé que no estás perdiendo a nadie más."
'just know you're not losing anyone else'
It takes a moment before my stomach sinks. I breath in and grab Miguel's forearm, he looks to me. "What does that mean? What do you mean by that?"
His usual empty expression kind of softens, and his other hand pats over mine "it means your mum won't have to worry about losing you."
There's a pit in my stomach, I don't have a good feeling about this. "what do you mean?- they're here for me aren't they? Isn't that what we've been preparing for? Dylan must've done what he threatened and snitched on me... that's what this is- why are Mateo and Gabriel in there instead of me?"
Miguel is quiet, his eyes dodge mine. I look to mum, she doesn't seem relieved or understanding, but when her pinched brows slowly raise, and her eyes open wide toward me; it looks like she put something together that I haven't.
"Kelani... just relax, don't stress yourself out too much right now. You just regained consciousness." Ace tries to intervene with a hand on my shoulder.
I step back, pushing away Miguel's hands and dropping Aces hand off of my shoulder. My heart beats harder, quicker, it feels like I'm taking in shards of glass with each sharp intake of breath.
"What's happening in there?" I ask bluntly, my tone demanding an answer. Miguel and Ace look to eachother for a split second before turning away from me. Ace looks to Cherrie who tilts her head and draws her brows together "Ace?"
Isabella puts an arm around me, she rubs my arm and I realise I'm hyperventilating. "For fucks sake someone tell us something!" Isabella shouts, "why are the two most important men in my life in a room alone with two damn detectives? It can't be for no innocent reason."
"It's to keep the two of you safe" Ace turns to Isabella and I, he spits out the words and Miguel's darts his eyes to him. Mum takes Miguel's wrist "tell me they're not doing what I think they're doing."
My chest aches, I hold Isabella's hand on my arm, she holds me close and I hear her gulp. "They're not here for me are they? Not for SaviourA..." I breath, looking between Miguel and Ace.
