"Ronnie!" Diablo calls out running towards me worry all over his face. "Are you hurt?"
I shake my head.
Gustavo then appears behind Daniel saying, "who the fuck are you?"
"Gustavo shut up please," I say feeling overwhelmed. "Let's go make sure that Melissa is okay. Then we can talk inside."
Thankfully the three of them listened and kept quiet as they followed. I unlocked the door with my keys and ran to her room.
"Melissa?" I call out knocking on her room.
She quickly opens the door then throws herself at me in a hug clearly terrified.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I ask concerned.
She shakes her head sharply, "I'm okay just fucking scared. Was anyone hurt-"
She was cut off by commotion going in the living room making me realized that the boys stayed behind. We rushed to the living room and see Daniel and Lorenzo pushing each other.
"Stop!" I demanded standing in between them then pushed Lorenzo hard then quickly turn my back on him.
"We need to report this to the police," Daniel starts but I cut him off.
"Daniel stop! We aren't!" I say.
He stays quiet clearly pissed.
Gustavo walks pass me shoving my shoulder, "what a way to keep us lowkey."
Diablo turns me around to face him, "who the fuck is this guy and why is he with you?"
Daniel pulls me back towards him saying, "keep your hands off of her."
He clenches his fist and jaws.
"Diablo," I said breaking his narrowing eyes from Daniel, "you guys have to go I'm pretty sure neighbors might of called the cops."
"She's right we gotta bounce," Gustavo urges.
Lorenzo licks his lips hesitant before planting a quick kiss on my lips. I was so shocked I wasn't able to make a move to push him away.
"I'm coming back tonight and you better fucking answers," he mumbles in my ear then walks away following Gustavo out the door.
I stood in my spot with tears in my eyes. All of a sudden I was full of emotions. I don't know if it's all a pregnancy thing or because it hurts to realize that his dumb ass is playing with me.
Melissa steps forwards speaking softly, "I'm going to go outside in case police do come and wanna questions."
She left leaving Daniel and I alone. I could tell he was waiting for me to tell him answers but I found myself with no words to begin telling him the truth.
Seconds later he began walking away with a grunt but I grabbed his hand pulling him back.
"No Daniel please wait," I cried.
"For what Veronica?" He yells shrugging me off, "So I can wait for you to think of more fucking lies to tell? Tell me the truth! Who are you? What do you do?"
"Please just calm down," I begged but it seem to only get him more heated but only for a couple seconds.
He takes a deep breath and manages to calm down a little bit.
"I'm sorry- I'm sorry I kept this from you but I'll tell you the truth," I sigh, "I'm a member of a gang called Surenos-"
"That would explain your tattoo on your wrist," he mumbles. "What do you do?"
I kinda frown. It started to sound like an interrogation but I continued.
"I do everything you think a gang member does," I simply state.
"Do you kill?" he asked with a face expression I didn't recognized.
I thought back to the drive-by not too long ago on MS. The result consulted of dead people. I wasn't a killer until that went down.
I decided to keep that taunting secret to myself.
"Of course not that is one thing I refuse doing," I say.
"What made you think that a resigned army soldier would want anything to do with you? A criminal?" I could hear the hurt in his voice and tears forming in his eyes.
"That's why I dropped contact with you Daniel but then you came back when I saw you at the hospital. My intention was never to hurt you, Danny. I'm sorry," I whisper at the end.
"Apart from all of this I really fell for you Veronica. I really thought you were a real independent, honest, and responsible woman. But to my surprise you're part of one of the most notorious gangs in the world. Not only that but you made me think I had a chance to be with you but of course you had to be with someone like you. A fucking criminal," he shakes his head lightly letting out a bitter smile, "fucking bye."
I was crushed by his words I couldn't even stop him from leaving even though I wanted too. I knew this was going to happen sooner or later but I didn't want this to happen now. Not when I really need someone through this change of my life.
After he left cops did manage to catch him for questioning. Thankfully he kept his mouth shut. The cops then questioned me and I didn't have much to say. They searched my car and house but nothing illegal was found. The pistol used Diablo took. The only drugs I had were now in Diablo's possession.
After all that mess was done I locked myself in my room. I cried for hours just stressed and hurt about everything that's going on. I didn't even talk to Diablo. I don't think I ever will again. I'm at a place that I can't even with myself.
What the fuck am I supposed to do now?
