Bound By Fate

15. make out

“ your mother lied to me and you paid the prize.” he says casually like it's nothing and I turn to avoid his face but end up looking at Leo instead who looks like he just filled in all the blanks and anger is radiating off his body in waves.

I quickly shake my head at him as he walks towards dad with his jaws clenched and his hands In a fist. “ no. ” I hold his hand when he makes to pass by me and walk to dad his eyes on him the entire time. “ Leo, look at me.” I gently squeeze his arm and he looks down at me his eyes softening. “ we have not gotten what we came here for.” I tell him in a low tone

“ if he doesn't say anything reasonable in the next five minutes,” he says through his teeth “ I am doing this my way.” and he turns pushing his hand in his pocket as if to hold the anger at bay.

“ why are the Russians hunting you?” I ask avoiding his eyes.

I am so angry I might just grab Leo's gun and shoot the hell out of him. But he is still Mike's dad so.

“ I am not answering that.” he says and Leo turns suddenly having had enough and before I know it he has sent a hot punch on his face and he goes flying to the ground.

“ shit, what the fuck man.” dad whines wiping the blood off his nose. “ you broke my nose.”

“ I'll break even more bones if you don't answer her question.” Leo says grabbing him by the collar and throwing him on the old dirty couch.

“ who are you?” he asks again and Leo laughs lightly glancing at me before turning at him with an all serious face.

“ that is not the answer I was expecting.” Leo says sending another punch on his temple and I close my eyes.

“ fine Jesus.” he groans from the pain and I want to step on his balls for everything he has done to me without being remorseful. Did he ever love my mom anyway? I mean who hits their wife and not feel sad for her death. “ I killed someone important.”

“ why?” I ask.

“ I owed them a lot of money and they wouldn't leave me alone so I killed him.” he answers quickly in fear and a part of me is glad that he got a taste of his medicine.

“ well, that's good.” Leo says.

“ it's good?” he asks surprised and I was going to ask the same.

“ it's good that you were dumb enough to get mixed up in their drama even better that you were stupid enough to kill one of their bosses.” he says standing.

“ you knew him?” I ask and he nods turning to dad.

“ just get ready because the Russians won't stop until they have you at their mercy. If we found you then it's only a matter of time before they do.” he smirks even more “ good luck with that.let's go.” he tells me placing his hand behind my back and I stop him.

“ one more thing.” I say turning and walking to him.

“ what?” he arrogantly asks and I send a punch on his jaw so hard that I shake my hand because of my burning knuckles and he groans spitting out blood.

“ good luck running from them.” I say ignoring the stinging pain on my knuckles. “ and just between me and you, those motherfuckers are brutal.” I say into his ear. I turn holding the tears burning me in the back of my eyes and I walk out aware of Leo behind me.

I couldn't let him see me break, I couldn't let him think he has me on his mercy making me question my whole existence.
I keep walking towards the car tears blurring my vision and Leo grabs me when I reach to open the car pulling me to his chest and I sob.
