Haven [GxG]

Chapter 12

Emilio's POV:

I swear to god I'm going to find them! I've checked with the police and the neighbors; none of them know where they are. They are all so fucking useless. That's why I'm here hoping her stupid friend knows what's going on.

  I watched as he started walking home from school. I followed, waiting for some distance so no one would see. Finally, I ran up and picked the boy up by his collar, pushing him against a car.

"Where the fuck are they? I know you know punk!" I screamed as anger was coursing its way through me.

"Sir. Please... I don't know... I haven't heard from Mila in a while." He pathetically kept stumbling over his words.

"I know you're fucking lying! So, tell me where they are!" I growled out.

"I really don't know. I've been trying to call. I even asked the school. They don't know." Ah, the school. That's right, I never asked them. I let go of the boy's collar as he fell to the ground. Pathetic.

"Sorry about your shirt, kid." I just walked off, making my way toward the school. I was going to get my fucking answers.

"Hey, it's Emilo. I am Amelia Valdez's father. I wanted to make sure you got her transcript transferred to the right school?" I ask the lady sitting there. She seemed caught off guard but spoke up.

"Yes, Mr. Valdez, everything is transferred." She seemed a little jumpy.

"Amazing! Now, read back and spell out the school it went to so that I can double-check you didn't get it wrong." She seemed hesitant, so I put on my most charming smile.

"L-a J-o-l-l-a High School. Is This correct, sir?" Bingo. I could feel my smile turn into more of a smirk.

"Yes, ma'am, that's perfect, thank you." I got you now, you pieces of shit. I'm going to find you now, and I'm going to fucking kill you both.

Mila's POV:

My phone rang again... Unknown number.

"Babe. Just answer your phone that's the fourth time they've called." I loved the way she called me babe. Listening to her, I decided to pick up the phone finally.

"Hello, who is this?" I hesitantly asked.

"OMG, Mila! I haven't heard from you in forever. Where are you? Are you okay?" A frantic familiar voice responded back to me.

" Julian?" How did he get ahold of me?

"Yes, it's me. Answer me now!" The volume of his voice grew louder. I almost had to pull the phone away from my ear.

"Yes, I'm fine. I can't tell you where we are. My mom and I ran to get away from my... from that piece of shit." I looked at Emma, who was obviously hearing everything. I'm just now realizing that I will have to explain a lot of shit that I was hoping I didn't have to for a very long time. Maybe never? One could only hope not to show the skeletons in one's closet.

"Mila, I don't know where you are, but he- I think he might know..." His voice became a whisper. Though the words were spoken softly, they hit me hard.

"What do you mean he might? How would he?" Now I could hear panic leaking into my words.

"He cornered me on the street asking where you were. I thought he was going to kill me. Obviously, I told him I didn't know. Then he started walking to the school and he went inside. I don't know if he found out anything from them!" Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

   I immediately started panicking. I stood up frantically; I felt my heart start racing, and I felt my airway constrict. My whole world began to blur around me. Then out of nowhere, somehow, my world stopped spinning. Emma was there. She gently grabbed both sides of my face, and she kissed me. Oh my, that kiss. It was absolutely electrifying. I was floating, yet I felt grounded on earth.
