The Other Side Part 2

77.

Eric was squatting holding up his hands. "Calm down everyone it's okay."

"Preston come on we are leaving!" I was still in shock by what was going on that I just stayed low to the ground. He looked at me pointing the gun to everyone else. "¡Preston vamonos!" (Let's go!)

I slowly got up as everyone looked to me I walked to him seeing the blood on his hands from the guards, it was so silent all you could here was my footsteps and Felipe breathing so heavy.

He reached his hand out to me and I slowly took it, he grabbed me pushing me behind him. "We are leaving this place and no one is going to follow us! I don't want to hurt anyone else, Preston needs to be with his family!" We slowly backed up to the elevator, Eric stood up looking to us. "Don't move man!"

"Please Eric let them go!" Jessica said hiding behind the couch with everyone else.

A loud ding came from the elevator as it opened but when I looked there was men holding large guns, I quickly grabbed Felipe pushing him to a couch by us and knocking it down to use as a shield as they began shooting at us. You could hear all the women scream and their heels hitting the floor with the men running as well. Felipe put his self over me protecting me more as I covered my head seeing pieces of the couch foam fly everywhere. The bullet shells bounced on the floor as the shooting came to a stop.

"Now either you come out from behind there or we will keep shooting until we put a hole through the couch!" Eric screamed making his voice echo.

"Preston look at me." He grabbed me making me face him. "You need to use your powers now.

"W-what no I can't!"

"Yes you can! You need to focus!"

"Don't make me start counting." Eric said.

"No I don't know how to!"

"Yes you do you just need to get mad!"

"One!"

"I can't I'm too scared to be mad!"

"Oh you're not mad at the fact that I lied to you!"

"No, Felipe stop it.

"Two!"

"Stop what! I'm the reason we are in this right now!"

"Felipe I said that's enough!" I felt my self getting angry.

"I'm the reason Nicole is going to be at prom alone!"

"Three!"

"I said stop!" I pushed the couch across the room knocking the men down! I stood up and growled loudly making the windows shatter. I stood tall breathing in deeply looking at Eric.

"Wow." He smiled to me as he slowly clapped.

Felipe stood up pointing the gun to him. I turned to look at Felipe still feeling my anger in me.

"Come on Preston let's get out of here." He said walking to the elevator pushing the button.

"You brought me here and now you want to leave!" I said walking to him.

"He did betray you Preston. Don't forget what he has done!" Eric said behind me.

"No, Preston it's okay I'm taking you home now."

"No!" I grabbed his throat lifting him up.

"P-Preston." He said trying to catch his breath.

"You took me away from my family! From Nicole!" He looked at me in my eyes seeing his eyes turn red.

"P-please mijo." He softly said to me. My mind instantly went back to when I first met him and when he first called me mijo. My face began to soften as more memories came to me.

"Felipe." I let him go stepping away. He held his throat taking in deep breaths coughing. "I-I'm sorry." I looked down at my hands and began crying.

"What am I?"

"Please Preston we are only trying to help you, to figure out your powers and to better control them." Eric said as I turned to him.

"No you can't. Why you? My family can teach me! My mom and dad can help me! You took me from them!" I said getting angry again. A door from the other side of the room opened as multiple men came in all lining up behind Eric.

"Please let us help you." He said as he put his hand behind his back waiting for my answer, looked to all the men as they had their guns pointing to me.

I turned around to Felipe as he finally caught his breath. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I didn't mean it." I said as I began crying to him.

"I know mijo. It's okay, I'm still getting you out of here." The elevator ding as the doors opened, he quickly grabbed me pulling me in and the men began shooting. I pushed the button repeatedly for the doors to close as I could hear them run towards us.

"Close, close, close, close!" They closed right before they reach us. The elevator slowly began moving down a floor then it came to a stop. "Shit!" We were in the middle of the third and second floor. I helped Felipe up as he was still holding tight on to the gun on the floor. "Come on we are almost there." Once I helped him up he fell. "Felipe come on."

"Wait." We both looked down seeing a blood stain on the left side of his stomach. He quickly put his hand over it to cover it.

"No, no, no, no. Felipe come on we are almost out of here."

"Don't worry I've been through much worse." I quickly took off my T-shirt leaving me in my white tank top and placed it over the wound.

"Here apply pressure."

"I know I'm a doctor." He said making me crack a smile.

"I'm getting you out of here, we are both leaving this place, alive!"

"I'm not leaving until I see you reunite with your family." He gave me a smile squeezing my hand. I quickly got up looking at the doors, we need to get out of here before they reach us. I gripped the crack between the doors and began pulling them apart. We were just right above the second floor doors. I got down cracking them open so I could look out first. I saw no one and opened it all the way. I got out quickly and helped Felipe out.

I put his arm around me as we moved through the halls, he told me where to go as we reached the stairs. We moved down them as we could hear the men at the top running down.

"Preston stop running!" I heard Eric scream. I quickly moved down faster feeling my heart racing knowing he saw us.

"Come on we are almost there!" I said to him as I was now holding all his body weight.

As we reached the doors to the bottom floor I carefully placed Felipe down as I looked for something to block the doors. I saw this large cabinet and moved to the over side to push it down but it was too heavy.

"Use your anger! Get your powers out!" Felipe scream to me.

I began thinking of all the things that make me mad build up inside me. The cabinet began moving I screamed as I pushed it harder making it finally fall in front of the doors. I smiled seeing that I did that, the doors began shaking as they tried opening it.

I ran back to Felipe as I helped him up. "Alright come on we are going home now."
