Chapter 27

Alex.

07:30 '' Provisional Detention Center II Guarulhos '' Cafeteria.'' Sao Paulo '' Brazil.

Today, I haven't seen Diego for three days; he hasn't even gone back to his cell or shown up in the cafeteria. I wonder where he is; sometimes when I pass by that idiot baby's table, he keeps laughing and making some jokes, saying that Diego is very good in bed. ''It bothers me a lot; I still don't know what I feel about him—sometimes anger, embarrassment, wanting to kill him. But… I really don't understand my feelings for him. 

'' Are you well? '' I looked at the little mouth next to me. 

'' I am yes. '' I gave a small smile.

We're going to the cafeteria now; the boys are probably already there; I'm not hoping to find Diego there.

'' He is sure? You seem a little down. '' I put my arm around his shoulders.

''I'm fine; no need to get all worried about it. 

''If you say so, I will believe you, little nigga. ''I smiled lightly at that.

We went down the iron stairs, and I quickly looked at the boss's table. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him sitting there eating. 

He came today. 

Little Mouth was pulling me towards the boys' table, and I was a little uncomfortable that Diego didn't look at me. 

''We have arrived! '' Little mouth said, sitting next to B. 

''We are seeing. '' Kelly replied.

I sat next to Barbie because it was a little far from Dylan; I don't feel like getting in trouble for myself. 

''Today we have clothes to wash and fold; what the fuck? '' Kelly said, moaning. 

''Don't even tell me; just thinking about it gives me agony. '' DD spoke. 

''Here, we take your trays. ''B pushed the trays towards me and Little Mouth. 

'' It cost. ''We appreciate it. 

I raised my face up, and Diego never looked back at me. This is bothering me so much; why am I bothered by this shit? I should eat. 

''We'd better finish eating and go do our thing, because you know how these guards are. '' I said, making them nod their heads.

''Yes, you are right. 

I raised my face again and saw him look at the newbie who sat next to him, which made me tighten my grip on the spoon in my hand.

''Alex? '' I blink a few times and look at B. 

'' What it was? '' I asked.

''You're crushing the spoon. '' He said, pointing to the spoon in my hand.

I looked and saw that I had actually crushed the spoon. 

''Shit. '' I uncrumpled the spoon, and he shook his head.

''If you're jealous, why don't you go there and show him that he's yours? '' I looked at Kelly in shock. 

''I'm not jealous. ''They all snorted at my response.

''We believe in this. '' They responded together. 

''I'm going to the bathroom. ''I got up. 

''Do you want me to go with you? '' Little Mouth asked, getting up too.

''No need; I will be fine. '' I replied, leaving the bank. 

''We will schedule five minutes; if you don't show up, we will come after you. ''B spoke seriously.

''It'll be okay; I'll be right back. 

I walked to the stairs and went up towards the bathroom. I bit my lip a little hard.

Furthermore, I'm not jealous; we're nothing, and I don't like men, even though I'm having sex with him, but it's forced.

I ran my hand over my face, frustrated with all of this. 

Why the fuck do I care so much about what he does? He can do whatever he wants; it would even be nice for him to stay with that newbie and forget about me.

I stopped walking.

'' He would be? '' I asked myself. 

I quickly walked back to the bathroom. I need to stop thinking about it, because I might go crazy about it. '' I entered the bathroom, going to one of the hangers. I let out a sigh and did my business. 

As soon as I finished I went to the sink to wash my hands, splashed some water on my face and left the bathroom.

''Hold him!! ''I was startled by the arms holding me.

'' What the hell is that!!? ''I saw Baby's friends holding me. 

''You know, you really think you're special, don't you? ''The guy approached. 

''Let go of me!! ''I tried to free myself from the others, and the only thing I got was a punch in the stomach. 

I looked angrily at the guy in front of me and kicked him in the stomach, making him fall to the ground. 

''You bastard!! ''He stood up angrily and held my jaw. ''Do you think the Devil will want you with your face cut off?'' '' He laughed.

He took a small knife from the pocket of his overalls.

''Stay the fuck away from me!! ''I tried to move away, but the guys who were holding me kept me in place. 

He turned my face to the side, and I felt the knife blade on my cheek.

''Let's see if he'll still want you with your face all fucked up. 

I let out a scream when I felt the blade cut my cheek; the pain was so great that my eyes filled with tears. 

'' Perfect. '' They laughed. ''Now let’s go to the other side. 

When he was about to cut the other side of my cheek, we heard my name being called by the little mouth; they quickly let go of me and ran, leaving me on the ground. 

'' Oh my God!!! ''The boys ran up to me. 

''Alex! ''B touched my shoulder. 

''My God, it's bleeding a lot, B! '' Kelly spoke desperately. 

''We need to take him to the infirmary. ''Little mouth and B supported me.

''H-H-It hurts! '' I let out a sigh with the pain throbbing too much in my cheek. 

''We are coming!

The blood ran too much down my cheek, also staining my overalls. ''We entered the infirmary, and the boys took me to the stretcher. 

''My God, it’s bleeding too much!! '' Barbie spoke, all worried. 

''Where's the fucking doctor!!!? '' DD spoke, all worried. 

Little mouth approached with the serum and some gases. 

''We need to clean up a bit, Alex. '' I looked desperately at him. ''We have to clean up. 

''D-D-It hurts a lot… Little mouth. ''I tried to hold back my tears so they wouldn't fall on my wound.

''I know, little nigga. But we have to try to clean up a little.

He opened the serum and poured some into the gases, held my chin carefully, and applied it to my wound, making me moan loudly in pain. 

''Calm down. ''He tried to clean it again, and I ended up moving away because of the pain. '' Little black guy…

''It hurts too much. ''He picked up a clean cloth.

''Then put it on your face to stop the blood. ''I took the cloth and put it on my face; it hurt like hell. 

I let out a sigh.

''Who did this to you? We can't see the face. '' B asked worriedly.

'' Gone… The friends…. D-Do Baby. '' I spoke with difficulty due to the enormous pain in my cheek. 

We got a huge shock when the door was brutally opened by Diego. He looked at me, and his eyes shone with anger. 

''Who did this to you!!? '' He asked, coming to me very angry. 

I opened my mouth to respond, but the little mouth interrupted me. 

''H-H-He needs a doctor. '' Spoke with fear. 

Diego looked at him angrily and then at me. 

'' I will be back in a moment!! 

He left, slamming the door very hard.

What was he doing?
