Why Me?

Chapter 13

Tony's POV

Alex left me with millions of thoughts. I don't understand why she'd want us to escape. Actually that was a dumb thought. She doesn't want me to inject her again, and I don't want to inject her. Victors gone, and it's the perfect time to leave if we'd dare to. I know there's Cal and Victor's minions, but Alex was right. We could get past Cal if we needed to, and probably Victor's dumb minions. But I can't, if Victor found out he would-

"Hey!" I heard a voice interrupt my thoughts

"What's up?" I ask

"I just finished with my patient, wanna go watch some tv?" Cal asks

"Sure, let me go put my notes in the file" I say

"Alright, meet you in the media room in 5"

*We went our separate ways, and I headed to Victor's office to drop off my papers*

Why would Victor leave his office unlocked? He left for a long trip, wouldn't it be more secure locked? Again, dumb. Victor may be dumb, but he really is street smart. He'll always be one step ahead of us, which is why it's risky to leave with Alex. He'd somehow know or find out, he probably already has me tagged and can track me down.

*I walk back and enter the media room to find Cal sitting on the couch changing channels.*

"So what are we watching?" I ask

I'm not sure I'll even be able to pay much attention to the tv. Alex really left me with a bit of a burden. I have no idea what to do about the situation, I'm so conflicted.

"There's this new dog comedy out called 'You scratch my butt, I'll scratch yours' I've been waiting for 2 weeks for it to come on HBO."

Terrible sounding comedy's. This is a bit normal for Cal. Although he's a grown man, and also pretty intelligent he also has a sense of immaturity in him. That part of him keeps me young and playful at times when I forget to not be so serious.

"Well then what are you waiting for, play it" I laughed

"Already on it" He chuckles

—

It's been 30 minutes, I think? The only thing I hear is Cal's uncontrollable laughter at a dog trying to bite it's own tail, and my loud indecisive thoughts. They're fluttering in from every direction, filling my mind with a million of them. Questions, all undecided.

Should Alex and I really escape tomorrow? Should I disobey Victor's orders and skip her injections? What will happen to Alex or even Camila if I did? Will Victor kil- .... that's right. Victor once told me that if I ever tried to leave, he'd kill everyone I love and care about.

Alex...Camila...even Cal. Surely he wouldn't kill his own minion because of my own defiance, would he? I'm sure he doesn't even know where Camila is, he's never really shown me any proof of having her. But his word is reason enough to be cautious.. and Alex. We just began to open up to eachother, and get to know eachother deeper. I can't lose her. But I can't hurt her either. In such short time Alex has become my everything, there's no way in hell i'll let her get hurt. I have to protect her, I refuse to let Victor lay a hand on her. So we can't escape.

I've decided, I just don't know how I'll tell Alex or how she'll take it. I'll tell her tonight, after this. Oh boy. This is gonn-

"HAHAHAHA"  Cal laughs loudly

God damn Cal.

"Ha-ha-ha" I awkwardly laugh and turn to the side

"This is gonna be a long hour" I whisper to myself

—

Finally the movies done!! Yes! I couldn't think straight right now.

"Wow, that movie was great!" Cal says, still laughing

"Yeah, yes! Amazing!" I say, probably a little bit too exaggerated

"Wanna watch another one?" He asks excitedly

No! I need to talk to Alex.

"Sorry Cal, I actually have to go do my last checkups on Alex before her injections tomorrow"

"Who's Alex again?" Cal asks

*I clear my throat awkwardly*

"Uhm, the girl you caught me kissing the other day." I let out

"Ohhh, right right. Jumpy girl"

If only you knew the half of it Cal.

"Yeah, okay I gotta g-"

"Wait"

SHIT MAN, LET ME GO

"Y'all agreed on everything...like with the injections? She's okay with it?" Cal asks

"Not exactly, It's complicated." I say

I can't go through with those injections, I can't hurt Alex. I won't do it.

"Sorry man"

"Yeah, I gotta go now. I'll see your later" I say leaving

"Adios" Cal hollers back

I shut the door to the media room and i'm left with my fear. Fear of telling Alex we can't leave. Fear of how she'll react, that she'll hate me. But the fear of hurting her is greater then any of the above.

*I knock on Alex's door, unlock it, and open it a couple seconds later*

"Hi Tony!" She says eagerly

"Hey"

She must think I came so quick to tell her that i've made up my mind. That we'll leave tomorrow. I'm about to burst her bubble. That beautiful smile that's beaming, I'M about to be the reason it sinks.
