He loved his job but he couldn't wait to get back home to her. He drove to his apartment and parked the car, whistling as he moved from the parking lot towards the apartments. His face dropped when he reached her door and saw it busted open.
"Irene?" He called nervously.
He stepped inside and immetiately heard broken glass crunch underneath his feet. Her apartment was a mess. Glasses, plates, mirrors, anything that could break was broken on the floor.
"Irene?" He called again.
He moved in and breathed a sigh in relief as he saw her sitting on the floor in the kitchen and just staring at the mess.
"What happened?" He crouched down in front of her.
"What do you think?" She asked.
"Pete?" He asked.
"Yeah," she answered.
"Did he hurt you?" He asked.
"I wasn't here. I woke up this morning to a text from him asking me where I was hiding," she said.
"Thank fuck," he breathed out.
He felt so happy that he had made her sleep in his house while he was gone. He couldn't bear to think about what might have happened to her if she had been there when Pete showed up.
"Come on, hellcat," he said.
He grabbed her hands, stood up and yanked her up to stand as well.
"Let's call the police," he said.
"They won't do shit. It'll only anger him more," he said.
"Okay, guess we have to clean up then," he said.
"Please, leave," she said.
"What?" He stared at her in disbelief.
"Leave," she said a little louder.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because this is never gonna go away and I won't put you through it. Just fucking leave, Seth! Please! We're not gonna last further down the line anyway. Not with him always hanging over my head as a dark cloud," she answered.
"I won't leave you!" He raised his voice.
"You don't get a choice!" She yelled. "I'm leaving you! Now get the fuck out of my apartment!"
"No!" He yelled back.
He crossed his arms and stared at her. She stared back and for ten long seconds none of them backed down.
"Fine!" She finally sneered.
She walked past him fast and disappeared out of the apartment before he could react. He hurried to the door just do see her run away. She had left her purse on the kitchen table with her keys, phone and wallet so he knew she would be back at some point. He sighed as he pulled out his phone and made a call.
"Hello?" Apollo's voice sounded.
"It's Seth. I need the address for that Pete guy," Seth said.
"Who?" Apollo asked.
"The cousin of that friend you brought along to my party," Seth said.
"I don't have that. I'll call my friend though," Apollo said.
"You do that," Seth said.
He hung up and sent the same text to Roman and Dean.
"S.O.S. Come to Irene's place fast."
He looked at the giant mess and didn't know where to start. He moved around and took pictures of it all. He wasn't sure if he was ever gonna use them but it seemed like the smart thing to do.
"Wow, what the hell happened here?" Roman asked from behind him.
He turned around and saw both Roman and Dean standing there.
"Pete stopped by," he answered.
"Where's Irene?" Roman asked.
"She broke up with me and ran off. She's alright though. She was at my house when he was here," Seth answered.
"She broke up with you?" Dean asked.
"I'm not gonna accept it," Seth smiled a little. "She's scared and she thinks I won't be able to handle this."
A knock on the door made all three of them turn their heads. Apollo's friend looked unsure as he took a step forward.
"Hi, sorry for just showing up. Apollo called and I live near by," he looked around. "Pete did this?"
"Give me his address!" Seth demanded.
"Fucking hell, Pete, you fucking asshole," the guy said lowly. "I'm really sorry about this. Most of our family has already given up on him. I was the only one left but this... No way, no more. I've had enough."
"His address!" Seth repeated a little louder.
"You don't need that," the guy smiled. "The police is about to raid his house and they'll take down this town's biggest drug dealer. He'll go away for a long time."
"How do you know they're about to raid him?" Dean asked.
"Because I'm gonna call them right now and inform them about him," the guy winked.
He stepped outside and they heard him call the police. A few minutes later he came back with a smile.
"There, all done. I'm really sorry about this. Is there anything I can do?" He asked.
"You've done more than enough," Roman answered. "Thank you."
"Of course," the guy waved his hand in the air. "Turn on the news. A catch like Pete won't go unnoticed for long."
The guy took off and Dean looked at the broken tv.
"Yeah, about that," he said.
"I'll get my tablet," Seth said.
He ran to his apartment and came back two minutes later with his tablet. He quickly found a news station and it just ran in the background while they looked at the mess.
"I guess we'll clean up," Roman shrugged.
"At least get all the glass out of the way," Seth said.
"She'll come back at some point," Roman said.
"I know and I wanna be here when she does," Seth said.
"We're staying too," Dean nodded.
