Angelica’s POV
“I’m packing several suit cases. You can put your shirt back on.” She came over and helped me put it back on then hugged me softly to make sure I wasn’t in pain from her touch. “Actually, f**k that plan. We’re packing some suit cases for you and you’re leaving here with me. Sleep over at my place.”
“I don’t think my brother will let me stay there for more than one night.”
“Who cares.” She said exiting the bathroom “Oh great.”
I walked out of the bathroom to see Michael, Diego and Raven all leaning against the wall with their arms crossed.
“Have a good chat?” Michael asked.
“We had a great talk. Now shoo.” Bri told them.
“We’re not leaving.”
“Plus, we need to talk to her.” Raven said motioning to me. “Alone.”
Bri sat down on the bed proving she wasn’t leaving. “What do you want?” I asked wanting them out of my room.
“Fine guess we can deal with Briana being here as well.” Diego said with an eyeroll.
“You’re brother, Bryan and I will be out of town for 2 days.” Michael told me. “Diego will be staying here. Your brother said you can have her stay here till we get back.”
Bri and I both looked at him with an arched brow “figured you would want a friend here, so we just asked for you.”
“Well, that works out for us then.” Bri said happily jumping to her feet and looking at me “I will go get everything I need. Do you have any requests?”
“No just want a friend here.”
“Great.” She came and gave me a hug “I will text you when I get home, go to the store, and all that so you will know about when I will be back.” She pulled back “Also let me know of anything you want me to get you.” She gave me a smile then walked out of the room.
We all just stood there staring at each other until we heard the front door open and close. “Anything else?”
“We wanted to give you this.” Diego came over to me and held out a key “It’s the master key to this room. That way your brother can’t come back in here without permission.”
I took the key from him “Thank you.” I told him softly. Surprised they were giving me the key and going behind my brothers back.
“You can reach us on our cells while we are gone.” Raven told me.
I looked at him confused, “I don’t have any of your numbers.”
“Your brother gave us your number, and we sent you a text with our names so you will have our numbers.” Michael said giving me a smile.
“Okay.”
“What’s the guy’s name?”
“What?”
“The guy that put hands on you.” Raven seethed.
“We want a name.” Diego added in a serious tone that actually scared me since he looked like he was ready to kill someone.
I took a few steps away from Diego “Why do you want his name?”
“Princess I told you earlier don’t ask questions you really don’t want the answer to.” He said stressing the ‘really.’
“I don’t want to tell.”
“Why not?” Michael asked.
“Because you three look like you’re ready to kill someone and it scares me.” I told them taking another step away from them to only bump into the wall.
They all closed their eyes and reopened them “Sorry.” Diego seemed calmer but not a lot.
“We didn’t mean to scare you.”
“We just don’t like that someone put their hands on you.”
“It’s in the past. I need to move past it so please don’t ask again.”
“Fine.”
“Not happy about it.”
“Do we have to?” We all stared at Michael for his comment. He held his hands up in surrender “Fine.”
They all left my room, and I collapsed on my bed staring at the ceiling. I reflected on the choices in my life that led me here and made a promise to myself right then that I would make myself stronger and heal from all that has happened. I sat up and went to my computer and saw that I had some documents to translate so I worked on those while waiting for Bri to get back.
“May as well get some work done.”
Briana’s POV
“So, you’re going to be with Angie for how long again?” My aunt asked me.
“I don’t know maybe a week or so. I’m going to still do work at the restaurant but I’m trying to also help out a friend who is like a sister to me.”
“I know you two are close she is a good girl. I only asked so I would know where you would be.”
I closed my final suite case and turned to look at my aunt “Sorry.”
“I can tell that you are really freaked out. Just worried about you and her since it has to do with Angie.” She came over and gave me a hug. “Tell her we love her and hope to see her this weekend for dinner.”
“That may need to be a different weekend.”
“Just let us know.” She pulled back from hugging me.
“Will do.” I picked up my suite cases and carried them downstairs.
My uncle came out of the kitchen with a bag in his hands “ I made some cookies and some brownie bites as well.”
He followed me out to the car and put them on the floor on the passenger side while I put my suite cases in the trunk. I walked around and hugged him “Thank you.”
“Give Angie a hug for me.”
I let him go and smile “of course.”
I climbed in the car and sent a text to Angie letting her know that I’m heading to the store now. Then started the car and headed out.
I was really worried about her since the sister of the guy found out where she lived. Knowing his personality and all the horror stories I heard about him, and I had a feeling he would come looking for her. I was really worried about her after seeing her being covered with blue, purple and black more than actual normal skin. I was actually wondering if I should warn her brother or his friends. I knew it would be bad if I told any of them, but it would be worse if I told her brother, but I did think I needed to talk to the guys just so they would keep her safe. I pulled into the parking lot and went inside the store. I went up and down every aisle just grabbing anything and everything that I knew we both liked as well as grabbing some toiletries for me. I headed to the registers...
“OH BRIANA!”
“s**t!”
