Page 14 of My best friends little sister
6am. Ive been at the gym for almost 4 hours now, punching anything I can, letting out my anger and frustration.
My fists are bruising and bloody, shit maybe thats enough for today, I pack up my stuff and head back out to my car ''fuck I'm going to be late'' I have to pick up angelica for school and I lost track of time, she cant be late the first day back.
When I get home I quickly rummage around for my keys to open the door and I'm greeted with a wide awake Mateo and angelica.
Her outfit catches my attention, shes wearing a pair of slightly baggy grey jeans and a white lacey top complete with a small fuzzy purple cardigan, her long light brown curls let loose hanging down her back with a few pieces over her shoulder, she looks beautiful.
She catches me staring at her and smiles, shit dont stare you creep.
''I'm the boss princess, I can show up whenever I want or not at all if I choose to.
Driving you to school is no disturbance and ill be doing it everyday for you'' I can feel her smile, I can sense it without even looking at her and I smile back not once taking my eyes off the road.
''I was thinking, when I pick you up later, would you like to go for ice cream?
'' her face lights up and the little sparkle in her eyes grows bigger
I step out the car and notice the gawking eyes eyeing my every move, something I'm very used to, people can tell I'm bad news just by looking at me.
I walk around to angelicas side and open the door for her, holding my hand out to her and then walk to the trunk to grab her bag.
''You have my number right? If you need anything call me and I will come right here'' she nods at me and i can see shes uncomfortable with the eyes on us.
I lean down to her cheek and whisper in her ear ''stay safe, if anyone gives you any trouble let me know'' she nods yet again and blushes at our closeness, I grab her waist and pull her closer into me before kissing her forehead ''have a good day princess'' she walks out of the parking lot stopping before the entrance and waving me off, I'm slightly worried about her but she'll be okay I know it
Nosey ass Ivan as always ''his father, hand me the file'' its a little thicker than i expected and when i open it I'm greeted by his face, the ugly bastard ''why did you want a file on Mateo's father?
Does he know about this?'' I flick through the pages reading every word intently ''no he doesnt and he isn't to know just yet.
This bastard abused him and angelica and I want to make him pay for it'' a certain page catches my eye, a mugshot.
I skim the first few lines, arrested for multiple accounts of child sexual assault, abuse, child neglect, charges were dropped with no explanation as to why? What the fuck.
I flip the page and its fucking blank. Thats it? Thats all they managed to get on him? No location, no last seen, no previous card transactions. Its like he vanished off the face of the earth. I'm snapped out of my thought by my phone, angelica
I turn down the street and see angel walking fast away from the school, I immediately stop the car in the middle of the street and jump out, rushing towards her.
She jumps at my touch but instantly relaxes into my arms when she sees me ''shh I got you, what happened sweetheart'' she shakes her head into my chest as she continues to cry ''please just can we go, please'' I take her hand and pull her towards the car, helping her inside
