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

Chapter 5: My Girl

09/11/14

"Hey, Mom," I say and the light flicks on. My Mom was sitting on the stairs and she looked at me with relief.

"I had to lie to your father and tell him I sent you to the store and do a million different things." she says and I take a deep breath.

"Why? Why would you lie for me?" I ask and she looks up at me.

"Cause I know where you were. You were with that Mike kid- the one your father doesn't like. The leader of The Veils. You were there when they got attacked." she says and I nod my head slowly.

"I shot Kellin three times," I say and she looks me in the eyes. Slowly she stands up then walks over to me. She wraps me in her arms and holds me close. I take a deep breath and hug her back. "What's wrong?" I ask and Mom puts me at arm's length.

"I can't keep lying to your father.... And he's going to be so angry. You can't stay here if you want to be with Mike." she says and my eyes go wide.

"What?"

"I love you and I support you being with Mike but you father won't understand. Plus you are the Veils girl. You can't be here." she says and looks at the door. "Your father won't be back for about an hour. Get your stuff and go," she says. I nod then run up the stairs and into my room. I throw my suitcase on my bed and go grab everything. I throw in all my pants, shirts, underwear, and bras. That filled my first bag then I grab my backpack and go into my bathroom. I shove all my makeup in, and stuff like that then grab my chargers and laptop.

I look over my room and see a photo of Gotham, Dad, Mom, and I. I quickly take it then nod my head and grab my suitcase. I take a deep breath then run down the stairs. My Mom was standing there with tears in her eyes. "I don't want to go," I say and she gives me a kind smile.

"I don't want you to go either, but it's for the best," she says. I nod my head and grab the keys to my car. I wrap my Mom in one last hug then run out to my car. I throw my bag into the back seat and get in the driver's seat. I start up my car and start to drive away.

Right as I started to drive down the street my Dad pulls up. I start to drive faster and get out. Tears come to my eyes as I drive and don't look back. As much as I love my family I'm with Mike. I couldn't just break it off and go back to normal. No one could trust me. This was the only way.

I take a shaky breath and just keep driving. My Mom was right. This was for the best. I had to do this. I had to be with Mike and be The Veils girl. I pull up to Mike's apartment. I turn off the car then sigh and look at the building. There was one light on in the house and it was in the living room. For the millionth time that day I took a deep breath then got out of the car.

I walk up the step to the apartment and knock on the door. I could hear that the t.v was on so hopefully that meant Mike had woken up.

The door swung open and Mike was standing there shirtless with a concerned look on his face. "Legacy? It's twelve at night!" he says and I nod my head. I feel tears come to my eyes then Mike pulls me into his arms. "What happened?" he asks.

"They heard about the attack so my Dad went to check it all out, but my Mom knew. My Mom knew I was with you and that you would pick me to be your girl. I had to leave. She supported me, but my father wouldn't. We knew that so I left while I still could in one piece." I say. Mike kisses the top of my head then swoops me up in his arms; bridal style.

"I've got you," he whispers as he walks up to the bed. Gently he sets me down and climbs into bed as well. I kick off my shoes then Mike pulls me into his side. I cuddle into him and hold back my tears. I kiss Mike's shoulder and he rubs my back.

"We'll be okay," he says and I nod my head. "Legacy?" Mike asks and I look up at him.

"I pick you to be my girl." he says and I take in a sharp breath then smile at him.

"Okay," I whisper back and rest my head on his nonhurt shoulder.
