Chapter 16 -Trust

"I never been so proud of you" his voice escapes from his lips. I can't believe this. My anger starts resurfacing

I'm back at Mercury Corp.

Gabriel walks up to me, placing both of his hands on my shoulders

"Gina here works for me. She was hired to do whatever it took to get you to betray me. It was simple. If you betrayed me, she had my permission to kill you. But you're here. I never been so proud of you Fields" He says with a proud smile

"She didn't crack not once. She's loyal. I'm glad I didn't have to kill you. Sorry about your stomach kid" Gina says smiling.

I can't believe what is happening right now. How can someone be this much of a monster?

My fist connects hard against his jaw as he stumbles backwards.

"FUCK" he yells out furious

"You Son Of A Bitch! You Fucking Organized This" I try to punch the shit out of him again but he grabs my arm forcing it behind my back. He leans over my shoulder brushing my hair from the neck

"I needed to make sure I could trust you" he whispers against my ear causing my skin to crawl

Gina looks at both of us bored as she turns away "Well that's my que to go" She exits out the door with her men.

"I got to say even through I'm proud you didn't betray my trust; I'm disappointed you offered to sacrifice yourself for that boy. Fucking Weakness!" His grip tightens causing me to groan in pain.

"Get the fuck off of my best friend before I burn this motherfucker down" Margo's voice emerges as she holds out her phone showing a 25 second countdown

"Did you forget who you work for whore" He says laughing

I want to kill him for what he just called her. She looks at him and smirks

"This whore will has access to every electronic device in this building. I happen to know how to hack into the coding system and cause every computer system in this bitch to self-destruct in 15 seconds if you don't release her"

His smile falls as he looks down at me. "You won't" he says confidently

"Try Me"

He releases his hold on me as he curses under his breath

"Damn I thought I was going to have some fun with this thing" She says sarcastically disarming the system on her phone.

"I'm going to kill you next time you pull some shit like that again"

"Fuck you, Your team is a joke. I'm the only one in this motherfucker that can find your targets without a sweat. You need me Gargoyle"

He walks off fuming. I walk up to her to distract her from saying something else stupid. She gives me a cold look

"Don't talk to me, you lied and came here when you promised me you wouldn't. Thank God that fucking Vick finally caved and told me you were here. I'm like hell no my bestie would never lie to me. But surprise! Here you are"

I'm not ready to deal with her over dramatic outburst right now. "M not now please. I had a really shitty night"

She throws her arms up in the air sarcastically

"OH! Im Sorry. Alena Fields Had A Really Shitty Night. How Dare I. Forgive Me"

I just look at her, hoping she is done. She's giving me a damn headache. I understand where she is coming from but damn

"Look who's alive" Vick claps as he walks out from the elevator. His left arm is in a sling. I notice scratches on his face as he approaches.

"Your alive" I ask, even though I know it's a dumb question

"Yea, good to see you made it"

I smile and pat his shoulder "Good"

"Look fields about what happened back the...Ah!!! What The Fuck"

He holds onto his jaw after I punch him with all my strength. Margo busts out laughing "Dammmmn she punched the shit out of yo ass"

Vick looks at me with a sympathetic look and tries to speak but I cut him off

"You set me up. I could have been killed you fucking asshole. I will never forgive you. Stay the hell away from me."

Margo stops laughing and snaps her head up at Vick "Wait you set her up!"

She lands another punch on his face as he groans in annoyance

"Both of you stop fucking hitting me. I wasn't informed about any of this Fields. I didn't know what he was planning I promise. Look at me! I got fucked up too"

I look at his fractured arm and shrug my shoulders. "Try getting fucked up in the stomach multiple times. Then we can talk. As I said, stay away from me. Margo lets go"

I notice his eyes on Margo as she walks in front of me. "Good to see you again Margo"

She turns back around and smirks. I continue walking, I can't even stand to be in the same room with him right now

"Remember when you called me a slut?" She gives him the finger

He rolls his eyes and nods "Okay I get it. Ben is waiting outside; he'll take you both home. Be safe"

He walks off causing a victory grin from Margo. She watches him walk away which is weird to me. "See something you like" I ask curiously

She laughs and starts walking to the elevator "Yea a punching bag! Lets get the hell out of here so I can get back to my man"

I follow behind her

"Right, how is he" I ask as we both walk onto the elevator

"He's worried about you. You been acting weird with him ever since we got together. Are you sure your okay with us" She looks at me curiously? I never seen her this serious

"Of course. it's just been a rough few days for me. I'll talk to him"

She smiles and holds my hand "Thank you bestie"

I try to contain all of my emotions. I love her more than anything on this earth. I feel like I'm betraying her for feeling broken over their relationship

..................

We arrive back at our penthouse around 6pm. I never been so fucking exhausted. I can't wait to shower and get in the bed.

We walk down the hallway to our apartment; I notice Margo texting non stop for the past hour

"Everything okay" I ask suspiciously

"Yeas just Khar being a little bitch, I beat him in Madden" She says nervously

Doesn't she know I know her better than anyone. We finally reach our door

"Margo what's going on with you"

She nervously opens the door and pulls me inside. "Don't hate me, I love you!"

What the hell is she talking about? I look at her confused until a loud sound tortures my ear

"Surprise!!!!"                                                   

I open my eyes to see our Livingroom filled with people I never seen before. Margo runs past me to avoid my reaction.

"Happy early birthday Alena!"

Hayden rudely pushes through a few people causing their drinks to spill over. He grabs me into a bear hug lifting me in the air. I hug him back and pull away as I ruffle his messy hair "Thank you kid, try not to kill me in my own kitchen this time"

He laughs and hands me a cup of liquor. I look in the cup curiously as I hear Hayden chuckling .

"Dare I ask what's in this"

He shakes his head and downs his with ease "Just drink Fields"

"Our birthday girl is here lets fucking party bitches!" Margo runs to the living room.

"Alexa play As Long As You Love Me By Justin Bieber" Me and other random people's eyes dart in her direction as Alexa starts blasting the song at maximum level

"As long as you lalalalala lalalala lala lalalalala love meeeeeh!" Margo screams from the top of her lungs. We all continue to stare. I'm so embarrassed.

"Yall I was just playing!!! You all look constipated right now" she says jokingly but I'm the only one who knows she was serious

She pulls out the firestick and plays All the stars by Kendrick lamar and SZA on Amazon Music. Everyone starts to get comfortable and dance with their drinks in the air. Margo runs up and grabs me

"You know I had to throw you a party. You deserve to enjoy your birthday"

I sigh and give her a small smile for her effort. I want to be mad right now but she does these things from the goodness of her heart and I need to be appreciative.

"I love you M, but who are all these random people"

She laughs and waves her hand around "Oh they were by the beach asking where the party at so I said heyyyyyy our place duh!!"

Before I can yell at her I notice Khar walking in from the balcony. My heart jumps in my chest. I immediately look away. Margo kisses my check and runs back into the Livingroom.  I'm going to kill her.

I try to escape to the bathroom when Khar takes ahold of my hand. I try to ignore him but it's impossible

"Your just going to ignore me again and not look at me?"

I look up into his eyes and shake my head. I feel him sigh in relief until he looks at my clothes covered in dirt.

"I'll explain after I shower. I promise"

I walk away and head for my room. I slide down against the door trying to control my breathing. This fucking migraine is about to hit me again.

The stinging pain hits my right temple over and over it feels like a vein is about to burst. I lay on the floor in a fetal position until the pain resides. Why the fuck does this keep happening to me

I squeeze my eyes shut so hard, suddenly it feels like I'm seeing visions but their moving so damn fast I can't make out who's in them.

Everything goes blank as the pain disappears. I don't know what that was but I can't deal with this for much longer. I'm going to ask Gabriel if he can help me. The person I hate the most it's probably the only one who can help me through this
