A Love Like Ours

CHAPTER 16: Better Think Of Something Fast

VICTOR

I was headed towards the gym when I noticed Saige on the elevator and quickly looked back down at my phone to avoid any eye contact.

I know it's an asshole move and all but I really can't even go there.

When I returned from the gym, I noticed their door was broken off the hinges so I walked inside and saw that nobody was in there.

So I next quickly took out my cell phone and began calling Maritza.

"Hello?" She answers her phone with sniffles and sounding like she has been crying.

"What's wrong? What the hell happened? Are you guys okay? The door..." I started rambling on until she stopped me.

"I'm fine. But Trenton hurt..." She cries a little bit more. "He tried attacking Saige. She had come home from the store I guess and he managed to break in through the door and was hurting her badly. Now she's getting an MRI."

I was furious. That fucker was dead. But she told me quickly after saying all that to me already that he was arrested and charges were already pressed against him by her as the officers took her statement.

Now both my sister and I know that he can always buy his way out of there and try to come after Saige again or my sister.

"Shit." I say under my breath. "Listen to me, from now on, you and Saige are gonna stay in my place. Just until we can think of a better place to stay at that's safe."

"Okay. Thank you." She says.

We say 'goodbye' and hang up and all I can picture when closing my eyes now is when I got on the elevator and never bothered to look up.

If I had stayed and talked with her. If I had never left that morning and my god there's so much I should have done. This is my fault.

I went into my apartment and since it was a two bedroom, I started packing and moving over their things such as their clothes and other stuff except for their cooking stuff and beds. Although the spare bedroom had a guest bed and dresser for when Javier came over to pass out every so often.

Several hours later, I was waiting in their apartment, cleaning up their place a little bit when I heard my sister from behind me.

"What the hell? Did we get robbed?" She freaks out.

"No. I moved most of your guys' things to my place. Remember?" I laughed a little bit.

"Oh that's right. Sorry." She laughs a little back.

"Should I take her to the apartment?" We heard Javier say from behind her as he was helping hold up Saige.

"Go ahead. Put her in the guest room." I tell him then we all begin to head towards my apartment.

Once we all got into my apartment and after Javier quietly closed the bedroom door behind him before walking back into the living room area, I decided to make a decision right the and there. I didn't care anymore how crazy, selfish, stupid it sounded even, I couldn't continue playing nice. I just can't believe it took me until now to say it. 

"Guys. I'm thinking about asking for Lolita's fathers' help." I began. 

The room fell dead quiet.

"There's no fucking way." Maritza begins to argue. 

"Yeah, it's bad enough that we're doing shit for him and you having to be nice to his Puta of a daughter." Javier states. "Besides, we're almost done with him for good." He adds. 

"Yes well, in the meantime, we also know that Trenton can buy his way out of the courts. We've seen him do it before. Not to mention that I do have a plane somewhat of what we can do to make sure our parents' restaurant is taken care of and we end all this bullshit with her father once and for all."

"Why do I get the feeling this might not end well?" Javier asks. 

"Because it might not. I need to get the files he has in his office and in a specific hidden place. It's all on a flash drive. But either way, none of you guys will be a part my plan." 

"Pff yeah, okay." Javier rolls his eyes. "I'm not gonna let you have all the fun taking down her ass and Trenton's. Which makes me question, how the hell do you plan to get into his house to find the flash drive?" 

"That's where Lolita comes in to play." 

"I have something that can destroy him and everyone. Maybe even me." I say the last part under my breath. 

"What's that supposed to mean?" Maritza asks. 

"I might have to do some prison time in the end." I muttered. 

"Oh hellll no." She shouts. 

"Quiet!" Javier reminds her. 

"Don't worry, I'll figure this all out and try to cut a deal." I assure her. 

She begins saying stuff under her breath while pouting. Man, I better think of something fast.
