You Needed Me | Oscar Diaz [EDITING]

28 - No!

Oscar pulled up in my driveway. He took the keys out of the ignition and just sat there for a moment. I wanted to say something but I didn't know what to say.

"Oscar, what's going on?"

"I think I fucked up Riella." He turned to look at me and I could see it in his eyes. He was scared. Seeing him scared was making me terrified. "Oscar, what is it? What happened?"

He looked forward again and closed his eyes for a moment. Then he opened them again and a single tear fell from his eye. "I fucked up mamita. I know I did. I've been doing too much." I frowned and moved closer to him. "What do you mean? How?"

He sighed. "I should have never gotten involved with Ursula. I should have never started dealing cocaine." He balled his fist up and hit the steering wheel. "Fuck!" Then he really started crying. "I didn't know a lot about this shit. And now, now I think I've gotten myself in too deep. I trusted the wrong people." He turned to me, "I should have listened to you. You tried to tell me, you tried to warn me." 

I was crying at this point too. I shook my head, "You thought you were doing what you needed to. You were just trying to provide for everyone." "No! I was doing too fucking much. I should have listened to you Riella." He turned all the way around to face me and then placed his hands on my face. "Riella you are the one person in this world who's always believed in me and tried to keep me level-headed." I was crying so hard. This was one of the hardest things I think I've had to witness. Oscar crying. "You tried to keep me out of trouble."

He was so good at hiding his emotions. I've never seen him like this. I was breaking down on the inside, but I was trying to stay strong on the outside for him. 

"Riella. I am such a hard headed fool. I know that. I don't listen and I always want to do things my way. But If I don't do anything else right, I want to make things right with you and me."

I nodded my head and wiped my tears. He put his hands back down. "Before it's too late."

"What do you mean, before it's too late?!" 

He shook his head and tried to control his tears. 

We sat there for a few moments before either of us said anything else. 

"Do you remember when we first met?" He asked me. I nodded, "Yeah, you were trying to teach Cesar how to ride a bike." He nodded, "Yeah, and I wasn't doing too great." I laughed a little, "You were doing fine." "No I wasn't. But you came over and asked what I was doing. I ignored you at first, but you didn't care. You watched as I yelled at Cesar over and over. Then finally you grabbed my hand. You looked right into my eyes and said, you can't teach him that way. You asked me if you could try and I told you NO, cause he was my brother. You still ignored me." 

He laughed a little. "Then you took your time and showed Cesar how to move his feet and focus on balancing at the same time. He immediately got it and started riding up and down the street. You were so happy. And afterwards you turned to me and said, look you did it. Even though I wasn't the one who taught him, you did."

I nodded, "I remember that. You were still an asshole to me for a few more weeks, then you finally realized that I didn't care and I was going to keep coming back. So finally you gave up."

He reached over and grabbed my hand. "Riella you genuinely care about me and my brother. You and your mom helped us so much. You don't even realize the things you helped us get through." I smiled at him, thinking about everything we've been through. "I love you Riella."

I looked up at him and started crying again. 

Before I had a chance to answer him, the glass to his window was smashed out and the door was opened up. I watched as about twenty police officers snatched Oscar out of the car and pushed him down on the ground. The pulled up his shirt and pulled out his gun, while other officers pulled his hands behind his back forcefully to handcuff him. I tried to crawl across the seat to him, to help him. I was screaming for them to leave him alone. But someone had grabbed me from my side and pulled me out of the car. They held me as I fought against their grasp to get to him.

It took almost all of the officers out there to hold Oscar down on the ground. When he saw that they had me and were holding me he was fighting against them to get to me. Yelling at them to let me go. "She doesn't have anything to do with this! Let her go!"

I was kicking and screaming, trying to get to Oscar. "Let me go! Leave him alone!" No matter how hard I fought, I was too small. They held me back. All I could do was watch as they picked him up from the ground and placed him in the back of a police truck. As soon as they closed the doors on him, they let me go and I fell to my knees. "No!!!!" 

I was in so much physical pain from the emotions that I was feeling. I just lost Oscar, I just lost my best friend. 

I didn't even get to tell him that I love him too.

My mom pulled up and parked her car in the road as the police started to disperse from the yard. She ran up to me and dropped to her knees right next to me. "Riella! What happened?! What is it?!" I looked up at her. "Oscar." I could barely breath. "They took him!" She pulled me in and held me as I cried.
