"Let her go."
The gunshot made my heart stop.
When I open my eyes I realized it was Carlos who shot up at the roof as a warning shot.
Danniel is a...?
Xavier was just using me...?
Danniel's POV
The warning shot helped distract Xavier and made him drop his gun.
I pick it up and manage to tackle him onto the ground.
I toss it at Carlos and he catches it.
The rest of the football team hurry out the room leaving just Cali,Xavier,Carlos and I.
All I can see is red.I use him as a punching bag and let all my anger out.
"Are you okay?"Calos asks Cali as he tries to set her free.
When I look back at them I notice her flinch in fear as he does this.
Fuck
"Why did you do this Xavier!?" I ask still decorating his face with red.
"To get back at you.This is exactly what I wanted.I wasn't going to hurt her.I wanted to expose you and make her hate you almost as much as I do.You're so f*cked!" He laughs making my anger rise.
"Danniel stop!" Cali yells.
The minute her voice travels through my ears I stop and get up immediately.
I walk towards her to ask if she's okay but she quickly steps back.
My heart is officially shattered.
This is what I was trying to avoid.
"Cali please I can explain..."
I realize she's still in her underwear but I'm not phased because it's not like I haven't seen her like this before and I'm not a perv.
"Don't step any closer."
Her eyes are wide open and her breathing is heavy.
Is she scared of me?
"Calithea I can explain...I was going to tell you at the lake but I forgot.Please you have to believe me."
I step closer slowly but she moves back until she hits the wall.
"Stay away from me."
I can see the resentment and fear in her eyes and it's killing me.
"You sell drugs...Since when?"
"Since the 10th grade."
I reply looking her in the eyes.
"You really caused that girl's death...?"
"I'm responsible but I didn't tell her to overdo it.I told her it was dangerous but she wouldn't listen.Cali please you have to believe me.I didn't know things would end up the way they did..."
"Stop.Just stop."
Silence.
"Carlos...did you know...?"She asks.
"Not every detail but yes I was told he was involved in what happened.Cali I'm so sorry..."
"Save it!"
"I didn't think you would understand that's why I didn't tell you Calithea please.Stop moving backwards I won't hurt you.I would never."
"I need you to both stay tf away from me.Especially you Danniel."
The closer I move towards her,her breathing pace increases and soon she runs out the bedroom and rushes to Carlos' room.
"Danniel,you f*cked up by not telling her."
"I know.Why aren't you pissed at me tho?"
"I know you would never purposely make her an addict.You probably tried helping her the best you could but she was in too deep.You should have told me tho.I would've helped."
He says then walks out leaving me standing alone.
Xavier is still laying on the floor and I'm fighting the urge to kill him on purpose.
Instead I take my anger out on a mirror which results in a few cuts on my knuckles.
Shit
