My Bestfriend's Father (Spooky)

Chapter 27

Oscar

I knew telling her what I had done to that Prophet would make her hate me. She didn't need to know I had tortured him and had Benito chop him up into little pieces. She would think I'm crazy. Little did she know, that Prophet was here to kill not only me but Cortez and her as well. He was going to rape her in front of Tez and I. Kill us in front of her and then kill her slowly. That pinche Prophet had it coming. Thinking he could come after the leader of Los Santos, his only child, and the love of his life. Those Prophets are dumber than they look.

Hermione

Oscar looked through his closet as I sat watching him from his bed. "Keep your ass in this house. Do not leave, do not open the door, and do not, I repeat, do not let my son leave this house." He looked like he was freaking out as he turned around squatting in front of me and grabbing both sides of my face gently. "That boy is the only blood family I have left. If he's gone, I will be the last Díaz of my family. Please, if you have any type of love for me whatsoever, you will do this for me." Tears sprung to his eyes as he looked into mine. "I promise I'll watch over Tez with my life. Nothing will happen to him as long as I'm alive." I spoke to him with nothing but honesty in my heart.

"Please be safe. I love you Hermione." He looked stressed when he grabbed his strap. "I love you too." I said even though I didn't know for sure if I did or not. He walked back over to me and kissed my lips hard, like it was going to be his last time ever then walked out the door. Tez stood beside Oscar with a sad look on his face. "If I don't come back tonight remember these two things. You are the last Díaz my son and you are the true leader of Los Santos if I don't return. Take care of Hermione, she's the love of my life. I love you my son." Oscar spoke resting his forehead on Cortez's before walking out the door without letting Cortez say anything.

I sat on the couch after locking the doors and windows. I couldn't help but twiddle my fingers. To say I was nervous about what Los Santos were doing is an understatement. I kept my headphone in the whole time I was on the couch. Tez sat beside me watching tv and checking his phone every few minutes. I knew he was nervous, I mean Oscar is his only family whatsoever, just like Abuelita is my only family. I couldn't imagine losing her so there's no telling how Cortez would feel if he lost his dad.

I could hear guns firing, even from this side of town. I felt my heart pound in my chest for a long time, even after the gun shots stopped. I knew something was wrong but I didn't want to alarm Tez. It had been at least two hours since Oscar and the rest of Los Santos had left and something in my heart didn't feel right. After a few more minutes there was banging on the front door.

"Cortez open the door! Hermione help it's Tito!" I jerked my headphones out and ran to the door knowing full well it was actually him. I checked the peephole first to make sure he wasn't being held by the Prophets and yanked the door open. Tito came into the house with blood staining his shirt making my mind go wild. "Get me a shirt and put your shoes on. Cortez hurry the hell up! Move now!" Tito screamed as I started running into Oscar's room grabbing a shirt and shoes. I came back throwing the shirt at Tito and slamming my feet in my slides. Tito, Cortez, and I ran outside to the waiting car and got in. As soon as my door shut Tito floored it.

Building passed by and I knew where we were going. When we arrived we ran as fast as we could through the doors and down the halls til we found room 311. Walking through the door I felt my heart drop to my asshole. "Oh Dios mío, Tito what happened?" I asked walking towards Oscar laying in the bed with a hospital gown on. Tubes ran up to his arms and an oxygen tube on his beautiful brown face. He was much paler than usual, he wasn't his normal caramel brown, he was much lighter than that, like he hasn't seen the light of day in weeks.

"He got caught in the crossfire of a drive by." I was so confused, I knew they were the ones doing the drive by so how the hell did this happen? "We were walking down Grove Street when a black van pulled up and some guys in green and yellow jumped out. They started screaming about Prophets and then started shooting at us." The nurse in the room changed Oscar's fluid bag with a new one then left the room closing the door.

"We were in the middle of the drive by when a Prophet shot him in the chest. No fatalities but he is gonna be stuck in bed rest for at least three months. Vato was lucky. Doc said three inches to the left and the bullet would have hit his heart. He could have died." The truth comes out. I knew Tito was telling a bold face lie in front of the nurse but we couldn't have her telling the cops Oscar was participating in the drive by. He has two strikes already, one more strike and he's gone forever. I walked over and sat beside the bed holding Oscar's cold hand. Tez seemed a little disturbed when he was looking at his dad like this. "Tito, take Tez back home. If he wakes up I'll give you guys a call. I got this Tez, don't worry about your dad okay." He nodded before walking out with Tito.
