10. Anger Issues

Ginna POV

I wake up warm in Ernesto's bed, best sleep I've gotten in weeks. I turn over and look at the clock.

The time reads '11:54am'. I've never in my life slept in this late before.

I guess it was well needed with Ernesto's mood swings and all. I mean I get that you don't wanna talk about something, but why do you have to get so angry? He swears he'll never actually hit me, but the way he gets when he's mad.. I can't truly trust he won't.

I get up and walk over to the bathroom, I take my toothbrush from under the sink and brush my morning breath away. When satisfied of the minty taste in my mouth, I turn off the water and put my toothbrush back under the sink.

I then make my way to the kitchen, on the way I stop in living room where I see Ernesto spread across his couch. He looks so uncomfortable.

It's then when I get the idea to make brunch for us both since it's no longer morning. I've never gone a day without my morning breakfast, I'm not gonna go without it now.

I then continue to the kitchen and proceed to make pancakes with eggs and sausage. When finished plating both plates, I make my way back to the living room. I find Ernesto still spread across but I can tell he's moved around a little.

I stand over him and brush my hand gently over his forehead and then through tight curls, his beautiful hazel eyes open almost instantly.

I give him a shy smile. "Good morning."

"Mmm.. Good morning." He yawns as he stretches out his arms and legs.

I watch as he gets up and cracks his back. "That couch doesn't look too comfortable."

He looks at me with a 'duh' face making me chuckle. "You know you can sleep in the bed with me right?"

"You sure?" He asks fixing the pillows and blanket on the couch.

"Yeah, I won't be here long anyway. Just until you find my friend." I say grabbing the pillows from off the couch.

He makes a weird face before responding. "Yeah. But, I don't know how long that's gonna be."

"I thought your I.T. guy is the best?" I ask.

He finishing folding the blanket and places it on the couch arm before looking at me. "He is, it's just complicated."

"What's complicated Ernesto? What the fuck is so complicated!?" I raise my voice in irritation.

He starts to walk to the kitchen not even acknowledging me. I grab his arm, stopping him from moving any farther.

"What do you want from me?" I say feeling tears form at the corner of my eyes, he looks at me with no emotion.

"Nothing. You can leave if you like, try not to get killed." He says without a care in his voice.

I don't even know where'd I go. I can't go back to Mia's house because I know Zero will find me there. I can't go to her aunts with Luis and risk endangering them and he knows this, he knows I don't have anywhere else to go. He has me stuck just where he wants me and I let myself get led on.

"Go fuck yourself." I say before walking off to the room.

"Ginna!" I hear him call out to me but I don't care. I walk straight in, locking the door behind me.

"Let me in, Ginna!" I hear him from the other side of the door before banging on it.

I continue to ignore him as I get back in the bed and rap myself in the blanket. Before even realizing I drift off to sleep.
