Kill My Mind || DOLLHOUSE Spin-off

47. Alejandro

My smile faded as I walked into my room to see Nick not there. I knew based off the sound of water he was in the shower and I was kind of glad because I needed a moment to relax my stupid smile and breathe. I was so fucking stressed out thinking someone was going to hurt the people I loved I didn't just stop and breathe anymore. 

I sat down on the edge of my bed and hung my head in my hands. I sighed "God Alejandro what are you doing?" I muttered to myself. I felt as helpless as when I thought Nick died. 

It had been so long since I didn't have complete control over work and it didn't help I never had control over my personal life. As I was about to lay down I heard Nicks phone buzz. 

I looked at it as it lit up and then went back to black. In a matter of seconds there was another text. Then another. Then three more. "Hey Nicky I think someone important is texting you." I shouted loud enough that I thought he'd be able to hear me but he didn't respond. 

I looked over my shoulder. The bathroom door was still closed and the sound of the shower was still going. I looked back over at his phone which had displayed yet another text. 

I felt like a horrible person but I wanted to see who was texting him. He didn't really have friends here and his friends from the US were often out partying, he almost never spoke to them. 

I debated for another moment but curiosity got the best of me and I went over to his phone. I was going to tell him I looked. I wasn't snooping I was just making sure It wasn't anything important. There was 7 messages from a man named Raymond Amato

Raymond Amato: They're getting close Nicholas 

Raymond Amato: Someone showed up to my shop today asking about the pictures 

Raymond Amato: I can't have this affecting my business 

Raymond Amato: Take care of this now or there will be consequences 

Raymond Amato: You've had your fun it's time you take action 

Raymond Amato: I'm fucking sick of waiting for your ass

Raymond Amato: You have until tonight to bring him in. 

I furrowed my eyebrows. The pictures...

There was a lump in my throat and I was so caught up in reading these and thinking about the pictures I hadn't heard the shower stop. "Ale..." his voice wasn't sweet Nicks. It was cold and Sharpe 

"Who is Raymond Amato?" I turned around and he had a gun pointed at me. He was right next to me. I had no weapons on me I didn't think he'd ever be pointing a gun at me

"Fuck Ale I wish you hadn't done that. Maybe we could have had a little longer together" before I could say anything there was a shot to my torso and there was a sharp pain on my head and I felt blood start to pool out. I fell to the ground and before I knew it everything was black.
