Part 17 (1/2)
”I will kill you before I let you harm her.”
”I'm disgusted that you would turn on your family for some girl.”
”Funny thing Vinnie I would have turned on you for a lot less.”
Vinnie's eyes blazed as his fist hit into my cheek so hard blood instantly started to flow down my face dripping on to my neck.
”Listen you little s.h.i.+t,” Vinnie snapped his hand grabbing onto my face a finger pus.h.i.+ng into the cut he had just made. ”You're mine and if you want that girl to stay safe and alive you will continue to work for me and you will do it with a little respect.” Pus.h.i.+ng his finger a little further into the cut making me want to scream Vinnie pushed my head back violently. ”Get out.”
Pulling away from the guards I stared at Vinnie for half a heartbeat disgusted that we were related.
Wiping my eyes with the back of my hand I pulled off my stupid heels not caring that the ground was so cold it burned my skin.
A car door slammed and Denny's angry voice yelled across the parking lot, ”What the f.u.c.k are you doing? Put your shoes back on or get your a.s.s in that house faster.”
”You're following me now?” I barked really wanting to throw my shoes at him.
”Jonah asked me to make sure you got home ok.”
”Go away Denny.”
”Not till you move your a.s.s into your d.a.m.n house.”
”Screw you Denny I will do whatever the h.e.l.l I want.”
”G.o.d you and Jonah are perfect for each other you get your feelings hurt and you both turn self-destructive.”
”There is no Jonah and me.” I screamed throwing my shoes at him this time, ”Go the h.e.l.l away Denny.”
Running at me Denny picked me up and threw me over his shoulder firemen style, ”Where are your f.u.c.king keys.” He growled ripping my purse out of my hands. Emptying my purse on the walkway he bent down picking up my keys leaving everything else in the melting snow.
”Put me down now.” I yelled smacking into his back with my hands, ”I'm serious Denny put me down.”
Holding me with one hand Denny unlocked the door kicking it open with his foot.
Still beating on his back and screaming for him to put me down red and blue lights flashed across the walls.
”f.u.c.k me.” Denny cursed dropping me to my feet, ”Not a word.” he hissed turning to face the approaching police officer. ”Oh goody Officer Owen. Perfect.”
”Of course a call about a guy hara.s.sing a girl in the middle of the night who else could it be other then Denny Garcia.”
”Nice to see you too Jack.”
”My daughter wasn't enough for you. You have to go after this nice girl too.”
Swallowing hard Denny started to look uncomfortable, ”How are they?”
”That's none of your business anymore.” The officer said harshly giving Denny a cold mean look before turning his attention on me giving me the same look only slightly nicer. ”By the looks of things it doesn't matter how Rachel and her baby are.”
Who was Rachel? If everything hadn't went to h.e.l.l tonight I might care why Denny was looking like someone had just ripped his heart out but everything had gone to h.e.l.l and I didn't care. ”Look if you guys want to b.i.t.c.h at each other do it somewhere that's not my apartment.”
”Is this man bothering you?” The officer asked pointing to Denny.
”No, he was just leaving.”
”Fine, keep the noise down. And you remember our deal Denny.”
”How could I forget.” Denny whispered as the officer walked away.
”Leave Denny.” I said once the officer was by his car. ”Or I will scream and tell that cop you are bothering me. Looked like he was just itching to arrest you.”
”You could tell him I was about to kill you and he couldn't do s.h.i.+t to me. Officer Owen and me have a deal in place.”
Great.
”Please just go Denny.” I whispered so tired I probably could have slept standing up.
”I'll go but you should really let Jonah explain. What you saw tonight is Jonah's job, it's not who he is.”
I had blood everywhere, Vinnie had done a number on my right cheek and my eye and lips were swelling up. Searching for my cell to call Denny to come pick me up I almost missed Mason sitting in his car across the street from Vinnie's.
”What are you doing here?” I asked walking up to Mason's car.
”Denny asked me to come, said you might need my help.” Mason said eyeing my face with a frown.
”Unless you can turn back time you can't help me. No one can.” I was seriously screwed, Vinnie was going to use Olivia to keep me in and dammit it was going to work. I came out with the determination to get Olivia back but who was I kidding it would never work. I would stay and staying would mean Olivia would go. Could I really just let Olivia go? She was it for me there would never be another person that I would love more than her. She was mine, was I still hers?
”Actually you can help me.” I said already moving to the pa.s.senger side of Mason's SUV.
”Anything brother.” Mason said starting the car.
”Take me to Olivia.”
”Is that a good idea?” Mason asked looking over my face.
”No matter what I've done or what has happened, I love her Mason I have to fix what I can.”
Smiling Mason started the car.
After Mason had dropped me off and I'd convinced both him and Denny who was sitting in his car watching Olivia's apartment to go home, I found Olivia asleep in her bed holding one of my t-s.h.i.+rts tightly to her chest. Pulling her desk chair over to the bed I sat and watched her sleep deciding what I was going to tell her when she woke.
