Twisted Love

🔞Vegas Awakes🔞

It had been 3 days since Macau moved in with Chay. Chay was upset because guards showed up at his house. Macau told him they were his guards and not sent by Kinn or Porsche. Chay settled then and even permitted Macau's personal guards Tul and Min to stay in the house. Their friendship was blooming, but Chay was still waiting for it to come crashing down when they went back to school tomorrow. He knew he was living a fairytale right now and he wasn't going to let fairytales mean anything to him anymore. Wik ruined that for him. Macau told Chay he would be back as he wanted to go and visit his brother. At the hospital, Macau was shocked that the flowers in the vase that Kim brought were almost dead. He would have to let the guards know to change them when he left. "Hia, when are you going to wake up. Everyone is worried about you. I have moved out of our mansion. I wasn't forced. I am living with Porchay. You remember that kid I told you about from school how it didn't seem like anything could get to him. Well, something shattered him. You should have seen what he looked like a few days ago. I almost didn't recognize him. Hia, he is so sad, I just wish I knew what to do to help him. We are bonding, but I can tell he is keeping me at arm's length. Oh, and here is a shocker. He is Porsche's brother." "I am sorry" "Wait, what, Hia are you awake?" Macau runs out of the room and gets the doctors.

Vegas has still been in a semi-conscious state. He keeps trying to wake up so he can find Pete, but a black-haired boy keeps showing up in his thoughts. He can't remember the kids' name, nor can he remember why every time he thinks of him his heart hurts. He hears someone come in his room and start to talk with him. He can tell it is his brother. He also remembers his brother talking about a boy who fascinated him at school. He hopes things work out for him. Then heard the worst thing he could hear. It is Porsche's brother. Images flash in his head of the boy being part of the kidnapping plan. He doesn't know why, but he says, "I am sorry." He has no idea who is saying it to, but he just knows he needs to say it. He didn't realize he spoke out loud until more people enter his room and start to poke and prod him. All he can do is endure it as for some reason he can't fully wake up. His mind won't let. It is like his mind wants to torture him like he did Pete. Wait, why hasn't Pete come to see him yet? He tries speaking out loud again, but it doesn't work. The doctor is explaining to Macau that hearing talking is a good thing which means the patient should be waking soon. Macau gives Vegas a big hug and tells him to rest and wake up soon. Then he leaves. The doctors check him out some more and then leave him alone.

Vegas was just about to go back to sleep when he heard someone else enter the room. He just lays there and listens because what else could he do? His mind won't let him wake up. This person seems angry. "Vegas, how could you forget about us. You told me I would be yours no matter what. Do you know what I did to get you back? I gave up my soul to the devil for you. Do you really not love me anymore." Vegas wondered who is this person, but he felt him grab his hand and Vegas felt loved. A flash of a black-haired boy entered his mind and was quickly replaced by an image of Pete. Vegas tried to move. Pete finally came to visit him. He wanted to open his eyes and see Pete, but he couldn't. All he could do was cry and will his mind to let him wake up. He felt the lightest touch on his face like someone was wiping his tears. Then they kissed his forehead. He was getting sleepy again from fighting his mind, but before he went back to dreamland, he whispered. "Pete"

Kim saw red. This was the second time Vegas called out for Pete in his presence. He wondered if that is who he thought wiped his tears. He looked over at the flower vase. He wanted to smash it, but he was holding out hope that Vegas would still come back to him. He just left the dead flowers in the vase and walked out. He went to the guard floor to hand out assignments and places where everyone was to go to finish their recuperation. Most of them were going back on duty, but some were being sent home for a few months to finish up healing. "Pete, you will be going home for 3 months. Take Jackson with you. He needs more healing and has nowhere to go." "Wait, I thought I could stay here." "Did any of the other guards get to stay here, no they were sent home." "But Vegas." "Vegas is still in a coma, and do you honestly believe he is going to want to see you after you stopped him, which got him shot?" "I stopped him from taking his own life." "That is not what I have heard. You can either go home for 3 months and come back and be Khun's head guard again, or you can go home and never come back. Either way, Jackson is going with you." "Can I at least see Vegas before I go?" "No, only family is permitted to see him." "Can you at least let me know when he wakes up?" "That will be up to Vegas. I am not a messenger."
