Kissing In Cars [ Vic Fuentes Fanic ]

Chapter 19 - Judgement Day

Vic's POV

I was breaking inside.

Was what Tony was saying really true? Had she run off to see her father? But why?

Anger bubbled up inside me at the mere thought of him going near her. I had promised her she would be safe with me and I let her slip away.

This all seemed crazy. Was her father really holding her mother hostage like bait? Was he that obsessed with taking revenge on his own daughter? Even the thought of her getting hurt sent my stomach into knots.

I couldn't lose her again.

How she had been acting... I was mentally slapping myself for not noticing it before. How she was so somber, so sad. How she had been saying secret goodbyes to everyone.

I was entirely thankful that Tony had caught on when my blind-ass didn't.

Part of me felt numb and the other part of me felt undeniably sick. Evelyn's words bounced around in my head, echoing back over and over again. 

'He'll kill her! Oh God, he's going to kill her!'

I didn't know what to think. She was so brave to save her mother, but she was so stupid. Why would she ever go alone? Why would she put her life on the line like that? Did she ever once stop to consider the effects it would have on us? On me? I knew it was selfish to think that way but I couldn't help it. I just needed her back safe by my side.

At one point the realization that I could actually lose her began to set in; her dad was a psychopath, like, straight out of the movies. Evelyn had said so herself. Cara... She was a fighter, but even I knew she wouldn't be able to escape someone like him. I didn't think anyone could. My body shook and the tears finally fell, unable to care who was around to watch. I placed my head in my hands and just cried.

But she didn't have to face him alone. We were coming for her, and we would save her. I would get the love of my life back.

If only my heart could believe what my mind believed.

It felt like a dream, how surreal this all felt. I just couldn't believe that this was happening. Part of me wished that is was a dream, wished that I would wake up in my bed with Cara tight in my arms safe from harm. 

But reality was harsh. I knew it wasn't a dream, I knew it was cold hard reality, and I wasn't sure I could deal with it. The feeling of devistation brewing inside me was nearly enough to make me gag; what if we were too late? What if she's already...

My mind was spinning.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, shaking me gently out of my thoughts. I looked over at Mike who mirrored the same devistated, worried sick expression everyone else had on in the car. 

"We'll get her back man. We're not gonna let this happen." He tried comforting me, but even I knew that his words were just wishful thinking. I couldn't lose hope yet, but it was fading fast. I just needed her back, I needed to hold her in my arms one last time. I would never let her go again. 

"Turn here." Evelyn instructed, Tony taking a sharp right into one of the subdivisions. The house wasn't far now, and neither was the love of my life.

Maybe there was hope after all.

Cara's POV

It was completely dark and stank of mildew down here. I kept my eyes shut tight hoping he wouldn't notice I was finally awake. It wasn't a hard task; the searing pain in my head was enough to make me want to pass out again altogether.
