Adeline's POV
Klaus giggles in the front seat as the rest of us stay silent, still adjusting to the situation that just unfolded in front of us. I was still trying to figure out what had happened.
"You got a big mouth, you know that?" Diego says, not sparing Klaus a glance
Klaus giggles "Oh wow, what a truely shocking revelation, Diego" He smugly replies, chuckling to himself again as he rolls his head around
"Everything's a big joke to you, right? We could've gotten seriously hurt back there, Adeline could have gotten really hurt back there" Diego persists as Klaus ignorantly fiddles around with a little bag of pills "Would you stop it?!" Diego yells, snatching it out of his hands as Klaus glares at him
"Why are you putting this shit in your body?" He frustratedly asks, with-holding Klaus's high
Klaus sighs, not responding to Diego's difficultly awkward question.
"Check this out, hm?" Diego mutters, pulling at his jacket with a prideful smirk as he pats his abs a few time "My body is a temple" He proudly announces "All that shit you do, it's just weakness"
I frown down at my feet with a simple thought bouncing around my mind. Diego acted like treating his body well had gotten him those abs. But, I knew fully well that Klaus had his own thing going on underneath his baggy grey shirt.
Something I didn't want to admit to myself, let alone out loud to these two fools.
"Oh, wow, beautiful" Klaus sarcastically says, slumping down in his chair, reaching into his pocket for more drugs "Well, weakness feels so good" He mumbles, bringing the newly found pills to his lips as Diego notices
He smacks him, making him drop his handful of pills all over his lap as the two break out in argument again. I just stayed silent. Listening as I looked out the window, pretending I wasn't judging the shit out of both of them
"What's going on with you, huh?!" Diego yells, leaning across the car
"Don't hit me, asshole!" Klaus retorts over the top of him
"No! Don't tell me everything is all right, because I saw you in there! You were crying like a baby!" Diego bluntly yells at him
Klaus bows down his head "Because I lost someone!" He retorts, the conversation suddenly quietening down as Klaus lets out a painful sigh
The car was silent for a moment as Klaus looked down "I lost someone... One of the only people I have ever loved truely more than myself" He sighs out
I look down, thinking about his words.
"Cheers" He smugly returns, holding a pill up in Diego's face to spite him and popping it in his mouth
"Well, you're luckier than most" Diego solemnly says "And when you lose someone... at least you can... see them whenever you want..."
Klaus just looks at him, as a painful silence arose in the car again. The energy wild. Suddenly, Diego adjusts the rear vision mirror, frowning as he looks at something behind us. He turns to look, as do I. To my un-nerving surprise, I spot Hazel unlocking a blue car in the parking lot behind us.
"That's our man" Diego mutters to himself as I feel myself heat up, turning away with wide eyes to see Diego still staring
My breathing speeds up as I understand Diego plans. He wanted revenge for the woman he knew. The woman they killed. Klaus looks in the side view mirror, his words stumbling "Hey, I know that guy"
Diego turns to frown at Klaus "How could you possibly know that guy-"
"He and a really angry lady tortured Adeline and I. We barely got out with our lives"
