I Promise (Explicit Version)

~Chapter Twenty-Three~

"I won't. You can trust me," I said. We finally pulled up to prison. I frantically wiped my hands on my shorts.

"Are you sure about this?" Julia asked me, cradling Sophia in one arm.

"Yeah. I'm just nervous," I said. We all walked in.

"We're here to see Charles Criss," Darren said. A security guard came up to us.

"Let me take you to the officer that will oversee the visit," he said in his gruff voice. Chuck took my hand. We were all scared. Finally, we made it to one of the officers.

"May I ask why you want to see him?" The officer asked. He looked at us. "I'm Officer Collins." (A/N took all my willpower to not put Ricky Collins of Collins and Collins. LBD FOREVER!)

"Officer Collins, we would like to make sure that he knows that we are not a force to be reckoned with," Darren said.

"Well, I'll be supervising everything. I am armed in the case of anything bad. You will be separated by a glass wall," the officer said, leading us into a room. I squeezed Chuck's hand and he squeezed back. I was terrified.

The room was empty with white walls. Our footsteps echoed as Darren went to a phone in the corner used to communicate. Then we saw him. His clothes were shredded. Another officer was behind him, holding a handgun. Just in case.

"You," he snarled. The sheer sound of his voice made me feel sick.

"It's us. I swear if you ever cross us again, we will fucking kill you," Darren said. It took all my willpower to not cry.

"It may look as though I am the most peaceful person in the world. That is wrong. I have won about 90% of the fistfights I have gotten into. I know that I can beat you," Julia said.

"What do they have to say? Not all of you would have come without a reason," my dad said. I refuse to acknowledge him as that. That bastard. Darren took my hand as Chuck took it.

"Why would you spill your own blood? I idolized you for my entire childhood. Up until a few months ago when Mom connected the dots, I loved you. There is bad blood between us now," Chuck said. Julia went back.

"I never liked you. I'm not going to lie here. When I first met you, I got bad vibes. That didn't change. I started fucking hating you when I learned what you did. I didn't know hatred could increase until a few days ago. You called my sister a slut, whore, and bitch. We have problems," Julia said.

"Come to me, my youngest," he said, his voice changing to something remotely nice. I hesitated, debating whether or not to approach him.

"Please, Luna, don't do this," Chuck whispered to me. I felt a squeeze before a tear slipped. Then a few more.

"Do you want to go?" Julia asked me. I nodded blindly. She took my hand and we went outside. I started crying while Julia just kept comforting me. A few minutes later, everyone exited.

"Let's get you home," Darren said. Chuck drove us back as I sobbed into Darren's shoulder.

"They know where we went. You can trust them," they assured me before leaving me with Robert. He hugged me and got me sitting on my bed. The whole time he stayed with me, letting me feel safe. The tears didn't stop for another half hour. This fear was more real than I could ever imagine.

"Stay," I said to Robert a few hours later. My voice was broken.

"I wish I could, but I have rehearsal. Do you want to come?" He asked me. I nodded and slipped on some shoes. I looked like a mess, but I didn't care. He held out his hand and I took it. We met Brian and Meredith in the entryway.

"Are you sure?" Meredith asked me. I nodded.

"I want to take my mind off," I said.

"What should we tell them if they ask?" Brian asked as we started on the drive.

"Truth," I said, my voice scattered. I looked at everyone's expressions of shock. "They should know."

We arrived and I went backstage to help everyone. It finished quickly and no one asked what had happened. We finished and stayed to close up. Clark came to me near the end.

"Are you doing okay?" He asked me. I tilted my head.

"More or less," I said.

"You can always call me. I promise I'll pick up," he said. I nodded. He hugged me and kissed the top of my head before leaving. We finally locked up and went home.
