Dedicated to all my loyal reviewers and written for Lomiothiel because she said 'In The End' could have been ten chapters at least. This, my friends, is the sequel to 'In The End'. Only this time, instead of Oliver's POV, we're doing Enrique's! The title is what Enrique's telling Oli. Like "I'll say it once more, don't ever do that again," get it? And, as I'm sure you know, I don't own Beyblade. Please R&R and enjoy.
Remember Your Promise
I groan and roll over as my cell phone rings a second time. I look at the clock as I reach for it. It's three a.m. Who would be calling at this ungodly hour? I flick on the lamp with one hand and flip open the phone with the other. "Hello." "E...Enrique?" The quavering, tear choked voice jerks me wide awake. "Oliver? What's wrong?" "I....I'm sorry to call so late, but I......." "Forget it Oli, just tell me what happened."
He's silent a moment, then, "he came home. He was mad and he....he....." He doesn't need to say more. "Where is he now?" "He passed out downstairs." At least he's unconcious. That buys me some time. "It's gonna be all right Oliver. You just get somewhere he can't get you." I've been heading to the nearest phone while talking to him.
"You gonna be okay for a minute if I talk to someone else quick?" I ask as I dial Robert's number. The sooner we get to Oliver's, the better. "I guess." "It won't be long, I promise. Don't you hang up, 'kay?" "Okay." I switch to the other phone just as Robert picks up, "hello." "Robert, wake up!" "Enrique? Why the hell are you....?" "Just listen a minute, all right?"
I don't wait for an answer, "I've got Oliver on my cell. He called just a few minutes ago." I can tell Robert's awake now, "is he all right?" "I'm not sure. I don't think so. He's crying and he said his father came home." "Then we need to get there." "You read my mind. Can you call Johnny? He said his dad's still there, but he's unconscious. I'm afraid to let him hang up." "Just keep him talking. I'll call Johnny. We'll meet you at Oliver's as soon as we can." The phone clicks and the dial tone starts.
I pick up my cell phone again, "Oliver, you still there?" "Uh-huh." "I'm coming to your house right now all right? I'll be there as soon as I can. You just try to stay away from him til I get there." "Okay." Mom's not going to be happy about my leaving in the middle of the night, but at the moment, I don't really care. I write her a note quick, telling her where I am, and leave it where I know she'll find it. Then I run back to my room, grab my already packed bag and head downstairs.
"Hey Oliver?" "Y-yeah?" "I'm gonna have to hang up for a couple minutes. Can you call me back in about ten?" "Uh-huh." "All right. Talk to you in a few. And Oliver, remember what you promised me." I hang up the phone against my will. I don't have a choice right now. I just hope we can get there soon enough.
Chaos: Well, chapter 1 of the sequel is up. I hope you all like this one as much as you did 'In The End'. And I have good news for those who do: I'm gonna make it a mini series! 4 fics. We did Oliver, we're doin' Enrique, next up's Robert and finally Johnny. Ciao people!
