[✔️] Agony || Diego Hargreeves [1]

Eighteen

Cara takes one last look at Diego as he was being pushed to the back of a police car before turning on her heels and walking back to the direction of the academy.

Right before she can push the gates open and enter, a car drives down the road and stops just beside her. The window rolls down and reveals Allison who was sitting on the driver's seat, a distressed look on her face as she clenched on to the steering wheel tightly.

"Are you coming?" Allison asked. Cara pondered for a minute deciding on whether or not to stay and look after Five or go with Allison and save Vanya from Harold Jenkins.

This is your chance. Go with her and apologize

With a sigh, she glances at the Academy before turning to her sister, "Yeah" she nodded. "Well, get in" Allison called out, nodding at the passenger side of the car. "Wait, I have to go get something. I'll be back in five" Cara said before turning on her heels and pushing the gates of the Academy open.

She walks through the door and runs up the stairs as fast as she could. She rushes into her room and immediately spots her bag sitting by the end of the bed. Her hands grip tightly on to the leather strap and pulls the zipper open before rummaging through it for a certain bottle of pills

"Bingo" She muttered out as she pulls out the bottle and slips it into her coat pocket. A still full bottle of whiskey stands tall on her desk as if it was calling for her name. She walks towards the bottle and pulls it up to her view

Her mind drifts off to Vanya's outburst just a few hours ago. "No-good alcoholic sister" Cara sadly chuckled as she gripped on to the neck of the bottle tightly. With a sigh, she leaves the room bringing the bottle with her. "I'm sorry, Diego"

She exits her room and walks through the hallway toward Five's room. She peeks in, checking if he was awake before entering the room. Grace had left the room and Five was sound asleep on his bed, soft snores leaving his mouth.

"Hey" Cara softly said as she approached his bed. "I'm gonna go look for Vanya, okay?" She whispered, knowing he couldn't hear her but she didn't care. "I'm gonna try to be a better sister" she chuckled out as she pushes away a strand of hair from the boy's face. "Don't get into too much trouble. And please, watch out for Diego and Klaus... and Luther"

She smiles down at the boy before leaning in and placing a kiss to his forehead causing him to stir. Cara immediately steps away from the bed, afraid to wake the boy up. With a sigh, she turns around on her heels and walks out the door, not noticing Five's eyes flutter open

Soon, she walks back outside the Academy and sees Allison who raised her eyebrows at her. "Took you long enough" Allison said as Cara got in the passenger's side of the car. "What did you get anyway?"

"A drink" Cara mumbled, bringing up the bottle to her sister's view. "Seriously? You plan on getting drunk when we have focus on saving our sister from a psychopath?" Allison scolded her

"I couldn't help myself" Cara guiltily mumbled, looking out the window as she held on to the bottle tightly. "Whatever" Allison mumbled, starting the car and driving away from the Academy
*****

Complete and utter silence fills the car. Cara leans her head on the window, looking straight ahead at the road. Allison sat beside her, gripping the steering wheel tightly as she drove through the empty highway.

Suddenly, the loud sound of thunder roaring fills the dark sky. Not long after, small drops of water began pouring down on the windshield. The small drops turned to drizzle, and drizzle turned to heavy rain. Accompanying the rain was a strong wind blowing the trees back  as they drove past them
