It's been around ten minutes that Gustavo and I left Odin's house. We are currently on the road to our destination that is a liquor store in MS territory which is 30 minutes away. I'm a little worry to run into MS members but Diablo has been watching that area for awhile and he's sure everything will run smooth. It's the least protected spot by MS.
You'll be okay Roni, I think to myself.
What also worries me is the silence between Gus and I. Like I said, we've been on the road for more than ten minutes now and it's been nothing but silence and a sense of tension coming from him. I haven't had the chance to talk to him one on one to say my sorrys to him. I guess this is the perfect time for that.
So I clear my throat just to make some sort of noise to break off the quietness. The radio isn't even turned on.
"Um, hey, Gustavo, I know- I didn't get to the chance to this earlier but first of all I want to thank you for saving my ass again. Seriously, thanks. I owe you and the others a lot. And second? Well I want to say that I'm sorry for disrespecting you. I don't know what happened to me that night. I went nuts and-"
"Just shut up, Veronica," he snarls grabbing the wheel tightly. "Everything is your fault. Everything that goes wrong has you behind it. Diablo left that one time because of you. Melissa fought you and changed completely the next day. Now she breaks up with me all of a sudden when you're back? Nah bullshit."
He shakes his head lightly trying to calm down. I can tell he's holding a lot of anger right now.
"You can blame me for whatever up you want but your break up with Melissa? No. I'm sorry it happened but I'm not to blame," I defended myself.
"What do you know? Did she tell you something?" he asked desperately.
Melissa did tell me she was planning on taking a break with Gustavo. She said she's been thinking about it for awhile way before the fight between us even happened. The reason? I don't know but she also said that the incident with Ricky did it for her to break things off.
"Veronica!" Gustavo jumps me out of my thoughts.
"Huh?"
"Do you know something? Do you know why she broke up with me? Please tell me."
I shake my head, "no Gus I honestly don't know but when I do and I find out you did some fucked up shit to her then I will fuck YOU up."
He puffs frustrated, "Veronica you fucking know me so don't question that shit."
"I know you as a homie which is completely different to knowing you as a boyfriend," I pause, "I mean yeah you're a good guy but- maybe the spark isn't there anymore Gus."
"Is that what she told you?"
"No, it's just what I think but I can be wrong," I mentally slap myself.
Why the fuck did I tell him that? I should be comforting him not making him feel worse.
I sigh, "look if you really want to know then you should ask her straight up or get Angle to talk to her for you."
"We'll see," he mumbles.
"So are we good?" I ask not really understanding the situation.
He looks at me with a glare but then it slowly forms into a small smile.
"We always good B. Just like brothers and sister fight, we fight too. And you're right. I shouldn't blame for my break up with Mel but I do blame you for everything else. You gotta watch out with Diablo, Roni. He really cares about you and I don't like seeing my brother get fucked over," he tells me.
