Mike Fuentes the Bad Boy (A Mike Fuentes Love Story)

Chapter 2: You're Smarter Than You Look

08/26/14

I groan as I open my eyes and look around. I take in a deep breath and try to sit up but a pain goes through my back. I let out a yelp but keep sitting up. I bite my tongue as I feel the needle pricking pain going up and down my back. "Mother fucker," I say loudly then take a deep breath. I look up and down my arms and see bruises in the shape of fingers. I sigh and raise my arms to run my neck but it hurt too much so I gave up.

I look around the beautifully modern designed room and see a mirror. I take a deep breath then throw my legs over the edge of the bed. It didn't hurt as bad as sitting up but I was still very achy every time I moved. It felt like I was dying. I shake my head and stand up, but that's when the real pain started.

Every joint in my body popped as I stood up and moved. Every muscle fought against my movements and I bit my lip. I was finally standing up straight so I decided to walk over to the mirror. I take a deep breath and start to walk. My legs felt like jelly but it was manageable. I get over to the mirror and gasp at my reflection.

My lip was busted open, I had a hand mark on my face, finger bruise on my neck. My hair was a mess. "Sweet Jesus," I say as I look myself over. I move my hair out of my face then close my eyes and shake my head at myself. Then I hear the door open. I look over and see a tall guy standing there with a concerned look on his face.

"How do you feel?" he asks and I shrug.

"Everything hurts," I say and he nods then slowly walks over to me.

"Do you know what happened?" he asks and I nod my head.

"My friend Maddie and I were out for a walk then some Sirens magic Heroine victim bumped into us. I told Maddie to leave then he attacked me." I say and the guys nod his head. He sits on the end of the bed as he looks at me.

"How do you know what The Sirens Magic Heroine is?" he asks and I laugh breathlessly due to pain.

'You don't know who I am, do you?" I ask and he shakes his head with a raised eyebrow. I sigh and take a deep breath.

"My name is Legacy Biersack," I say and his eyes go wide.

"Shit." he says and I roll my eyes.

"And who are you?" I ask and he clears his throat.

"My name is Mike Fuentes. I'm the leader of The Veils," he says and I smile.

"So you're the son Victor gave his gang too," I say and slowly walk over to bed. Mike watches me walk till I sit down on the bed slowly and hiss in pain.

"Yeah. I took the roll-"

"You took the role three months ago tomorrow. You had a meeting with my Dad last night." I say and he looks at me amazed. "Now I have to ask you. What were you doing out of the meeting that usually lasts all night?" I ask and he laughs.

"Some kid named Drake came in and started yelling about how YOU were going to give up your leadership of The Brides to Gotham. Who I am guessing is your little brother," he says and I nod my head.

"That's right. You're smarter than you look Mike." I say and he laughs.

"And you are as witty as everyone says. You're Dad doesn't know you're here so if you would like to call him you can. I would have called him last night if I would have known you were you." he says and I roll my eyes.

"Whatever. I feel like I broke my ribs." I say and he shakes his head.

"My Mom looked you over. You're fine. Nothing has broken just some serious bruising." he says and I smile.

"Point one for Legacy!" I say and he laughs as he looks at me.

"You know I think I've seen you around the school. With that guy Oli," he says and I nod.

"Yeah, he's my ex. Found him cheating on me yesterday." I say and he just looks at me.

"You got cheated on? How?" he asks and I roll my eyes.

"Oliver wasn't in the gang world. I couldn't tell him a lot. We were doomed." I say and Mike nods his head.

"Guess that's the price for being in a gang. Love is impossible," he says and I shake my head.

"It's not impossible," I say and he raises an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah? Why do think that?" he asks and I sigh as I think it over. I rest my arms on top of my knees and look at him then sigh. I run my fingers through my hair then smile slightly as I think it over.  

"My parents are proof that it's not impossible. My Dad wasn't born into the gang life. He fell in love with my Mom at the age of fourteen. Had me by sixteen. Married at eighteen. Took over the gang when he was seventeen. They loved each other so much that they stayed loyal to one another through everything the gang threw at them. They are still in love to this day. Love is possible in the gang life, but only if you are willing to work for it." I say and Mike nods his head as he looks at me and smirks. 

"I want something like that," I say and he raises an eyebrow. I sigh then lay back down then close my eyes. My whole body was in pain.

"Goodnight Legacy," Mike says then I hear the door close. I sigh as I sit there and think about what had happened in the last two days. Oli cheated on me, I snuck out, almost got raped, got saved, and talked to the new leader of The Veils. It was quite a ride for the last two days.

I was just wondering if it was good that it all happened. Mike seems really nice and maybe I could make sure that when Gotham takes over the gang that he keeps good blood with the Veils.
