Chapter 19

Diego's POV:

I watched Valarie get real close up in Shannon's face. I knew this wouldn't end well. I tried to pull Shannon closer to my side but her breathing became heavier as she became more and more irritated. Soon enough she swung right at her.

Valarie fell to the ground and all I saw was Shannon jump on her. A crowed quickly formed. People pulled out their phone, others screamed thing I couldn't understand.

"Shannon!" I shouted as I tried to rip her of Valarie.

"Shannon fucking let go of her!" I screamed louder and louder but she wasn't listening.

A few seconds later my grip on her was ripped away by a police officer. I fell hard to the floor and watched the man pull Shannon away from Valarie. She immediately turned to me and I saw the anger in her face. She looked beyond mad. As if she has been waiting to do that her whole life.

When she noticed the hand cuffs tightening around her wrists her face lost all anger and it was replaced by fear. She was dragged away and the other officers tended to Valarie. When both the girls were gone, the crowd disappeared slowly too. I finally picked myself back up after a few minutes of shock. I didn't have time to think so I ran to my car and quickly headed to the police station.

I arrived fast and barged in. A few heads turned to me but I didn't acknowledge them.

"May I help you sir?" An older woman asked sharply.

"Y-yes. I'm looking for a S-Shannon." I stuttered, still flustered by the situation.

The woman checked her clipboard that lay on the counter and looked back up at me.

"She's been charged with battery but she won't have to serve time. Just a court date, maybe some community service. She'll be out in a few, you can sit over there." She pointed at the waiting area.

I sighed in relief and plopped down on a chair that sat alone. I couldn't believe what had just happened. Shannon beat the shit out of Valarie. And now she has charges. Jesus fuck.

A door swing open and Shannon sulked out, still cuffed.

"Here's your court date information, i'll see you there Shannon." He unlocked her handcuffs and handed her a packet of multi-colored papers.

Shannon laughed and looked around the room. When she saw me she ran up to me. I gave her a hug bear hug. I felt tears dampening my shirt. I pulled her away and wiped her face. Her eyes were puffy, she had obviously been crying for a while.

"I'm so fucking sorry Diego." She blurted out.

"Don't be baby. She had it coming. I'm just happy you are okay."

"No Diego. I'm so immature. I literally just fucked everything up." The tears started coming heavier.

I shut her up with a sincere kiss. Her lips were soft and damp from all the tears that had touched them. She kissed me back slowly before pulling away.

"Come on, let's get something to eat." I placed her hand into mine.

She wiped the tears from her eyes and just gave me a little nod. I felt horrible. I knew she was filled with guilt. It wasn't her fault though. Valarie deserved a good ass beating for all the shit she has put Shannon through. And she finally got it.
