Battlewounds (Book One)

11

Some hours after the battle between 1D and Dante, they were in the hotel with Dante still recovering from the beating he took from the boys. One Direction were feeling awkward seeing what they've done to Dante as he seemed to have been hit by a giant truck, holding a bag of ice against his eye. Liam was about to say sorry but the way Dante stared him made him regret. Simon walked in, watching the boys staring at each others.

"Dante, you were out of control. you needed this beating. I mean you totally were asking for one for acting all by yourself, when right now, you should be worried in being part of the band. got it?" Simon said to break the ice, Dante got up staring at him, "What's wrong with him?"

Dante groaned, "I was going to ask you that, Simon. What is wrong with you? Lying to us?! We know what the hoodies are, and who was originally giving them orders. " he grabbed his phone with a email sent by Radcliffe about Simon sending a guy to kill Christina Grimmie. "She was fucking 22, Simon!" he was getting mad as hell but he was making a great job keeping himself controlled. "I'm mad at the hoodies, specially after knowing who is their now one of their leaders and what she did. But they're trying to make it right. But I'll forgive you if you and other Music Entertainment CEOs admit your guilt to M.W.E.F. and tell the whole truth about the hoodies and all those deaths."

The boys stared at both Simon and Dante as Dante totally exposed Simon, Simon grabbed at Dante's arm where he held his phone, "What are you doing Barbosa? You were meant to be one of them, if  Doug hasn't seen you as a threat to take down." 

"I wished he had killed me than killed my son!" Dante closed his fists with strength as he teared up and leaned him against the wall, "What if it was Eric on James's place?! and you on mine?!" Dante punched the wall right beside Simon's face. "I should be killing all of you, since the Hoodies to all the CEOs, but for that I had to turn like you and all the bastards behind. I won't hurt you, but don't expect trust or forgiveness from any of us. They already hit low with a simple common, with their enemies, it will be so much easier. " Dante turned his back on Simon and the other boys got all up standing beside Dante.

Louis stared at him, "You have 24 hours starting now to call M.W.E.F. and admit all the things you've done, or we will Simon."

Zayn looked around and then to Dante, "Dante, I have a question to you."

"Go for it Zayn." Dante replied.

"Do you think that Gigi was a...??"

"No, Zayn. They were only trying to reach RCA Records for the same reasons The Hoodies are after Simon." Dante replied interrupting Zayn, "She was a common no one should have touched. So was my kid. Don't worry, this will all end. And as far we can do, no more deaths will happen." He called everybody in a circle and extended his hand to the middle, "I'll fight for my children, Danny and for the safety of everybody, Will you fight with me?"

Liam chuckled, "C'mon, Dante! You were never this cheesy. We're already with you, but first, " he grabbed the phone, "Let's call someone to pick Simon up. And Dante, Welcome to the band, and I waited a long time to say this Zayn, but Now, Welcome back, brother!" Liam Hugged them both.

"Who knows if I'm not really going to come back when this all ends?" Zayn commented almost out of breath from Liam's hug. 

Simon interrupted, "Then Dante has to leave right boys. Well, to end with the Hoodies problem he has to die anyway right boys?" he said making Dante back away shocked. 

"What the hell is Simon talking about?" Dante stared at them, "I have to die for this situation to end? What is he talking about?"

Liam tried to explain, "That was M.W.E.F.'s plan in the beginning. We we're only meant to take you to a attack and let you get out of control and kill you and the hoodie. And none of us had guts to kill you, that's why Louis and Harry didn't attack you at the same time that underground attacked you."
