Visiting The Past
CHAPTER 29: VISITING THE PAST
**************************************************
Blanca stares at Erica in denial. "No.......... it couldn't be you, your just trying to take the heat for your sister"
"Listen to me, it's my fault!" Erica yells trying to get it through Blanca's head.
"Erica shut up!" Eva takes steps forward, Blanca doesn't even notice. "You wanna hear the truth don't you, you want to know about Leslie's last minutes on that roof top" she starts telling the story as the images vividly take place in her mind.
*******************************JUNE 20TH 2001***************************
Leslie and Erica had been best friends since they could remember, they lived on the same floor, in a building similar to Hill Manor. Although their families didn't quite get along they always managed to be there for each other. Leslie was always the smart one, she went to school and was a honor student, while Blanca dropped out and joined a gang. Within the past few month's Leslie's father had become very violent. He would get drunk and Blanca would come in late from gang banging and her father would start a fight with her. Whenever he was upset with Blanca, Leslie would pay the price, just because. He would beat her up, burn her with his cigarettes or lock her in the closet and his threats to kill her had become more severe with time. A few times Erica had to take her to the emergency room with a broken arm or rib. After a beating one day Leslie ran up to the roof, her cries were heard all through the floor. Erica came out and followed her up to find her standing on the ledge of the roof, looking down.
"Les, what happened? Get down from there" they used to hide on the roof from time to time, to escape the wrath of Leslie's dad, but something about this wasn't right. Leslie's tears were streaming down her face yet she was laughing.
"Why doesn't he just kill me already!" her face looked desperate, her lip was busted from the obvious beating she just received, blood was dripping on her shirt and Erica looks on horrified.
"Les, I'm sorry, we're gonna get through this, just get down" Erica extends her hand out to her. Leslie simply looks down at Ericas hand and gives a smile, she looks down onto the street below, raises her head and breaths in deeply.
"I always felt safe up here...............free" she extends her arms and leans forward, Erica grabs a piece of her shirt but gravity takes over and Erica can't hold on, she watches her fall to her death. Just then Eva reaches the roof to find Erica holding the piece of Leslie's bloody shirt. Eva takes it from her hand and examines it, not wanting to imagine what happened up here, she leans over the edge and sees people gathering around a body. When Eva turns around she sees Blanca staring at her leaving her to believe Eva had pushed her sister. The rest was history, it was also the reason why Eva's family had to move from the building, Gloria's kids were constantly fighting with Blancas family.
*****************************FLASHFORWARD******************************************
"YOUR LYING, YOUR LYING!" Blanca was screaming at the top of her lungs, before she knows it Eva is on her struggling for the gun. Erica keeps ducking every time the gun points her way. A shot goes off and hits the roof, the sound echoes off the whole room.
On the 24th floor Dom and the guys make their way up the stairs slowly and quietly. Dom peeks through the exit door, he puts 6 fingers up and raises his gun, informing Vince, 6 men, armed. Vince puts the silencer on his gun and waits for his first victim. The first guy walks by the door as Vince grabs him shoot him by his rib cage. "One down, five to go" Dom points to 2 men walking towards the door, hearing the commotion. As soon as one opens the door Dom shoots him, before the other one can draw his gun Milton and his guy take him down. The other three men are around the corner and begin shooting at the guys.
Eva struggles to take the gun away from Eva, she hears gun shots outside and knows it's Dom.
"Run Erica, get out of here" Eva yells still trying to pin Blanca down. In one quick swift move ,Blanca slips the gun from Eva's hand and hits her on the head with it . Eva goes down, she closes her eyes from the pain. Everything goes dark, she hears Ericas screams and snaps back into reality. She looks up and sees Blanca dragging Erica out of the room, gun shots still being fired from the hallway. Eva runs after Blanca and looks down the hall but she's gone.
"Dom!?" Eva yells. Dom peers his head around the corner and sees Eva. The guys are taking care of the bodies
"Over here!" Eva looks towards Dom direction. "Which way did she go?" she asks as Blanca peers her head from the roofs opening and fires random shoots towards Dom and Eva. Some bullets ricochet right next to Dom's head grazing it, one hits Eva's shoulder, she screams as the impact sends her into the wall and she slowly slides down it.
"EVA!" Dom can feel his heart reaching his throat. Blanca once again disappears into the roof. Dom runs to Eva, plopping down next to her and holds her in his arms. Memories of Jesse invade Doms mind. 'Not again' he thinks "Not again'
Eva slowly comes to but is in shock, she hasn't realized she's been shot, tears are streaming down her face. exa examines her wound, the bullet went in the front left shoulder and out through the back, that was a good thing. Her blood is minimal but she needs to get to a hospital ASAP.
"Your gonna be OK baby" Dom tries to keep calm. Eva places a hand on his face "Are YOU OK?"
"Yeah" is all he says, Eva begins to get up when the pain hits her, "OOOOUCH!, Mutherfucker, that hurts!"
"Stay still Eva we have to take you to a hospital" Dom helps her stand up. "NO!" she reaches around her back, wincing at the pain with her right hand and retrieves the gun Dom had placed hours earlier and walks to the stairs that lead to the roof, she looks up and back at Dom who is standing there amazed . "I'll be right back" she winks and goes up the stairs. 'Damn she's a tough one' he thinks.
The wind is strong at this altitude and it stings her eyes. Eva can hear Erica's whimpers close by, she can see Blanca who is sitting by the edge, purposely banging her head with her hands. 'Fucking nut' she thinks. Erica sees Eva and her eyes go wide, Eva puts her index finger to her lips shushing her. Slowly she goes around and begins untying Erica, once she's untied Eva escorts her by the stairs where Dom is waiting.
"Get her out of here Dom" Eva whispers
"Wait what about you?" Erica asks
"I'm right behind you" Eva fakes a smile. Dom points for Erica to follow Vince, he looks back at Eva and she knows what he's thinking.
"I'm not done here, I'll see you outside" his eyes weaken and he quickly turns and leave, Eva goes back up.
*******************************************************************************
Eva pushes the button for the elevator, she's weak and the room is spinning, her wound is worst than she thought. The elevator doors open and Dom is standing there. He grabs Eva and pulls her in. Outside he takes her in her car and heads to the hospital.
"Well, Miss Santiago, you are very lucky, 36 stitches. You'll be sore but, you should be just fine in a couple of weeks." the doctor hands her a prescription for a pain killer and penicillin for infection. They head home where Vince stayed with Erica and Gloria who was already home. In the car, Dom's driving, he wonders what happened on the roof. There is no need to beat around the bush.
"Did you kill her?" he manages to ask. She looks over to him and sighs. "No" is all she says. He grips the wheel, wanting more information but knows she'll tell him when she's ready.
