Old scars

Chapter 14

Mike's Pov.

"HOW DARE YOU PUT YOUR FILTHY DISGUSTING HANDS ON MY DAUGHTER!??" Diego screamed as he pinned me to the wall, choking me in the process. I desperately flailed around and tried to escape. Did I deserve to be choked? Maybe a little bit. Did I want to die? Nah, probably not.

So yeah, Diego didn't react too well to the whole 'I'm your daughters lover' thing. Actually he really disliked it. The angry man let go of my throat and I gasped for air. My body dropped to the floor and I tried to regain my breath. Vic rushed to me while cursing under his breath. He was mad. Like, really mad. I swear to god if he was a cartoon character he would have been spewing smoke out of his ears. He pulled me to my feet and turned to Diego.

"WHAT THE HELL MAN? I KNOW YOU'RE PISSED BU-" I cut him off by putting my arm on his chest, lightly pushing it back toward him. He understood but he was still angry.
I stepped forward and cleared my throat.

"I know where she is and how to save her... But I need your help." I said. He looked at me suspiciously before nodding reluctantly. I nodded toward Vic and he stepped forward. He sent me a death glare, which I happily returned. He went to say something but I already knew it wasn't particularly nice. I elbowed him hard in the side and he quickly looked down at his vans.

"Sorry for snapping at you..." He mumbled. I smiled and Kellin walked up next to me. He had a bright smile on his face, but everyone who knew him could see that it was one of those 'I'm in pain and I don't want anyone to see it, but deep inside I do' smiles.

It is quite scary, just how easily you can hide your true emotions from the rest of the world. All it takes is a simple smile, just a sign, no matter how fake. Just a smile, so that no one will feel bad if they just walk past you, or leave you in the dirt. As long as you bear a smile, no one will care. Anyone can see it doesn't reach your eyes, but that's the beauty of fake smiles. No one will feel guilty, no one but the person themselves. We keep on fooling ourselves and the surrounding world. We pretend and shrug it off, all until we drop dead on the ground.

Kellin elbowed me lightly, catching my attention again. His fake smile had disappeared and was replaced by a small smirk, much more real this time.
'Diego just said something' He mouthed while nodding discreetly toward Diego.

"Hm, sorry what was that?" I asked. Diego looked at me unamused while Vic sighed and shoved his face in his hands behind me.

"I said, Well since you have decided to take the lead in this operation, why don't you tell us your plan huh?" Diego huffed, clearly underestimating my plan making abilities. I looked to my side and scoffed.

"Well, since you're being a judgmental asshole I'm just going to explain the plan. So, here's what we're going to do..."

Maria's Pov

His hands roaming my body. His fast breathing against my neck. I screamed out in pain and tried to get away, but nothing worked. He pinned my hands to the headboard and kissed me furiously. He pulled back and I whimpered. He brought his hand back and slapped me; Hard.

"Don't ever disrespect me again bitch, got it?" He growled. I squeaked out a muffled yes before he shook on top of me. He got out of bed and walked out the door.

It's finally over.

The flashbacks came repeatedly. Everything I saw or touched reminded me of that dreadful night. I had probably had at least three panic attacks in the past hour. I had no idea what time of day it was, but I'm guessing it was starting to brighten up outside. The blinds were tightly shut but a single stream of light peered through a crack in the window. It was my only connection to the outside world and to be completely honest, that single ray of light was the thing keeping my head on straight. That and the thought of Mike and the guys. Oh how I missed them. I missed Jaime's cute jokes, and Kellin's sassy remarks anytime someone said something offensive. I missed sitting up with Tony and Vic, just being able to pour my heart out, without them judging me. But most of all I missed Mike. How he would hug me and tell me that everything was going to be okay whenever I cried, or how he always managed to make me feel safe when I was scared.

I was sitting on the cold concrete floor, rocking myself back and forth while I hummed to myself. Everything was going to be okay. Mike was going to burst in through that door and save me anytime now. I was going to run away and live happily with him forever. Kellin and Vic were going to get married and have tiny beautiful babies. Tony and Jaime will be the most awesomest uncles in the world and we'll all be one big family.  This is just some horrible nightmare and I'll wake up in just a minute. Everything is going to be okay.

Everything is going to be okay.
