Jay gets in his bed confused leaving Cardo on the couch for himself. Why did he have a wet dream about his ex when he messed up so many times? Jay was confused so he decided he would sleep on it.
Cardo moves his hand on the couch to feel if Jay is there but he doesn't feel him. He decided its best if he leaves. He didn't want to rush things he just got Jay to talk to him again. Everything was hitting him fast he thought it would be best to give them time alone until he figures out what relationship he wants. He sneaks out and writes a note.
C
Jay I know I left while you were sleep. I am sorry. My emotions are super confusing right now and I think its best to have a few days apart to think about things. Just know I am always here if you need me. Take care of yourself.
-Ricardo.
He leaves the note of the table. His relationship with Jay wasn't the only thing confusing, Kevin was on the list as well. He had to find out why Kevin ran Jay over and a way to get him arrested. No one messes with his baby I mean friend and gets away with it! He leaves.
THE NEXT MORNING
Jay wakes up and gets dressed for class. He grabs a cup of orange juice when he looks in his living room to see Cardo wasn't there. He wanted to see Cardo this morning but maybe it was for the best. He saw the note and walked over and read it. A small tear ran down his eye, He didn't want space but he would respect Cardo's decision. Jay is the one who broke up with him. Maybe this is for the best. Jay decided to focus on himself and school until Cardo is ready to come back. If you love someone you let them free and they come back...right? Jay hoped so. Cardo wanted space Jay would give him space. He grabs his keys, locks up the apartment and heads to class.
CARDO'S POV
Cardo went to the local library and asked the librarian if there was a way he can look himself up to clean his rep for future jobs. In reality he wanted to know how to look up Kevin. He sat down in a spot in the library no one could see him.
Cardo:"Let's see what I can find on this bitch."
He searches for two hours and finds nothing, just when he was about to give up he saw a picture of Kevin under a different last name.
Cardo:" Kevin James? I thought his last name was Dickinson? What are you trying to hide?"
He searched the web to find that Kevin had previously been arrested for validating law suits and request to keep his distant from residents in California. Apparently he was on the most wanted list in California for stalking people and threatening to kill them. Cardo sees that there is a number to call at the end of the paper about his arrest he calls.
Cali Police:"Hello this is the Bay Area Police, what is your reason for calling?"
Cardo:"Um yes. I saw that someone on your most wanted list is in my area and I'm afraid he hurt someone close to me."
Cali Police:"Can I have a name please?"
Cardo:" Kevin Dickinson? That's the name he goes by here in South Carolina but on this sheet it say Kevin James?"
Cali Police:"Kevin James is in your town?"
Cardo:"Yes. He was kind of friends with my ex but he ran him over. Look sir I just want justice for my friend who fell victim to Kevin's nonsense."
Cali Police:"And how do you know it was Kevin who ran your friend over."
Cardo:"This may seem hard to believe but he actually called me once the incident was over. He had confessed everything over the phone through my ex's phone number."
Cali Police:"Do you know how long we have been trying to catch that guy. He is really dangerous. I know this is putting your life on the line but is there some way you can get him in your surroundings. Just enough time for us to come and get him for good?"
Cardo:"Yeah I can."
Cali Police:" Is there a way you can send your phone in so we can have that to convict him?"
Cardo:"Yes. How soon can you have someone out here to get this Kevin maniac?"
Cali Police:"Now that you mention it, we actually have a few policemen down there near you. How about I call them? Do you think you can get Kevin to meet up with you? We can take it from there?"
Cardo:"I can try. Can I give my phone to them once they take Kevin into their possession?"
Cali Police:"That's fine. What's your name so everyone knows your a here."
Cardo didn't feel like a hero because he didn't have the person who made him feel like a hero. He was doing himself a favor he didn't want to be remember as someone who took down a master stalker but a hero to Jay.
Cardo:"Is it okay if my name isn't released."
Cali Police:"Sure kid. We can have officers there in about an hour if you want this done today."
Cardo:"Please. I don't want him hurting the friends I love. There may be four of us but they are all special to me. I want to get this done as soon as possible."
Cali Police:"Okay kid. What location are you going to lead this guy to?"
Cardo:"The place he almost killed the love of my life. The College Cafe. Give me an hour I'll make sure you get him. Thanks for your help."
Cali Police:" No thanks for your help. Do you want the cash reward that goes along with it?"
Cardo:"I just want justice for my friend. No money can satisfy me. I didn't do it for that reason. Text me the number and give me a picture of the officers I should look for."
The Cali Police sends over the information and Cardo hangs up. He then texts Kevin.
C* Hey Kevin. I was wondering if we can make up? I did some thinking and I don't think me and Jay are getting back together. He kept saying all he wanted was you and he loved how protective you were over him. I just want to give you my proper blessing to date Jay.
K* Jay wants me? I thought he only wanted you? He couldn't stop talking about how much he loved you. But if he wants me am not going to say no. Where can we meet?
C* The College Cafe
Cardo to himself "YOU DUMB BITCH!" He would never talk about Jay that way. He couldn't wait to see the look on Kevin's face when he goes down for good. He grabs his keys and heads towards the College Cafe.
THE COLLEGE CAFE
Cardo walks in and sees the police. He sits down and gets a text from them.
CP* When you are ready for us to bust him just look at us. We have your back just in case he tries something crazy.
C* Got you.
Shortly afterwards Kevin shows up. Cardo's mood immediately gets better but there was one last person he had to text before this all ended. Jaylin.
C* Around 15 minutes I need you to turn on the news. I did this for you.
J*?
C* It will all make sense just watch the news in 15 minutes.
J* Okay...
C* I have to go.
Jay was confused.
Kevin:"So Cardo we meet again. Where is Jay?"
Cardo:"He said he would be here soon."
Kevin:"Cool. So what made you change your mind?"
Cardo:"I didn't. This was a set up dumbass. I would never talk about Jay that way. He don't want your crazy ass. You will never have my man. And I dig some dirt on you Mr. James."
Kevin:"James?"
Cardo:"Oh yes I know how dirty you really are bitch. You thought you could run someone over and get away with it."
Kevin:"Where is Jay. He loves me, he won't let you do this."
Cardo:"You really are dumb. There is no Jaylin. I got your ass now its time to dispose of your ass. Bye Kevin."
Cardo takes a slip of his coffee then looks at the Cali police officers and leaves.
Jay turns on his tv to the news.
It is reported that Kevin James has been catch after five years. Jay put the remote down. Did Cardo do this for him?
J* So this is what you wanted to talk about earlier. Cardo this is crazy
C* I know but I had to get justice for what he did. Jay it hurt me so bad to not be able to help you that day. I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Goodnight Jaylin.
J* Cardo...
Jay waited an hour for him to respond but noticed he wasn't going to. Jay was happy that Kevin was gone but now all he wanted was his friend back.
ELI/ CARDO'S PLACE
Cardo walks in with tears on his face.
T:"We may be back together but I still don't trust you."
Eli:"There isn't any reason to not trust me-"
T sees Cardo torn up.
T:"Are you okay Cardo?"
Cardo:"No. I stopped Kevin. He's gone for good."
T:"How'd you do that?"
Cardo:"Watch the news its a long story. I wanted to give Jay space but all I want is to start over."
T:"Then talk to him and let him know that. He loves honestly. Come here."
T hugs Cardo and he cries and Eli join.
Eli:"I know what would make this better. Cardo wants a fresh start? I bet Jaylin wants a fresh start too. Let's throw a welcome back party! That way Jay can come back to the group and it gives Cardo time to talk to Jay."
Cardo:"Man I love your crazy ass."
Eli:"I love you too."
Cardo:"A party sounds nice."
They all laugh.
T:"I'll order pizza then we can throw the best party ever! You know what Cardo I actually like you."
Cardo:"Your right I guess."
They laugh. They sit in the living room eating pizza planning the party. What a day right?
