The boy next door

I don't believe in fairytales

Derek's POV

I carried Malia in my embrace the rest of the way home, while she had her arms around my neck and kept crying in my chest. Although my shirt was pretty wet and had mascara on it, I didn't really care cause I'm glad that I'm the one to dry her tears. It hurt me to see her cry. But it killed knowing that I'm the one who caused those tears. She didn't deserve this. It's my fault that Josh and Jake -those two dumbfucks that I'm planing on killing- went after her. Malia had several purple/red hickies on her neck. Her lips were bruised and bleeding and her eyes were blood shot red. It looked like she had just smoked 5 -full- bags of marijuana.

When we arrived at her house she pulled out her keys from her pocket. She handed it to me while shaking. I put the key in the lock and the door opened.

When I got in her living room I placed her on the couch. But I noticed that she had fallen asleep in my arms. I sat down on the floor, next to the couch she was laying on. I checked my phone for the time and it was 10:25 pm.

"Derek." I heard Malia whisper. I lifted my head and I saw her eyes fill up with water again. "Can you bring me to my room please." I smiled down at her and nodded. I picked her up in my arms again. Man were my arms strong, but also supper tired. But I didn't care.

I placed her on her bed and she curled up into a little ball. "Are you gonna be okay?" I asked while stroking her cheek. She nodded her head a 'yes'. But then she shook her head a 'no'. She tightly closed her eyes holding back the tears. SHE WAS SO BRAVE. Even though she broke down doesn't mean she's weak. "Okay," I slightly whispered. I went around to the other side of the bed and layed down next to her. She curled up beside me wrapping her arms around me, laying her wet cheek on my chest. There goes the shirt again. I lifted her chin up, "Head up princess. Your tiara's falling." She closed her eyes and opened them again. She looked at me with her sad, red, bright, full eyes. "I don't believe in fairytales." I looked at her and smirked. "Well then make your own." She looked at me confusingly. "If you don't want to be a princess you can be bad ass rebel girl. You can be anything or anyone! What ever YOU want" I continued. "If you don't want a Prince Charming or night in shining armor.. You can have something else." She looked up at me and smiled. The highlight of my day. "Thank you Derek. I don't know how you were around. If you were following me or something, but.. I don't care. I'm glad that you were there. So again thank you for saving me." I put a wet strand of hair behind her ear and I looked straight into her eyes. "Anytime Butterfly."

We stayed like that until it was 11:30. We had both fallen asleep. But it was time that I go. I didn't want too but I had too. Her mom would probably be home soon and if she walked in, to find her daughter "cuddling" with me, god knows what she'd do. I moved very carefully not to awake Malia. "Goodnight Derek," she said with her eyes still closed. I turned around to face her and I said, "Goodnight butterfly."

I ducked out of the window and started walking towards my house. I know what I have to do now. "I'm going to kill Josh and Jake. Tonight."

•••
I walked down by the River Valley, because I knew Josh and Jake would be there. Before they attacked Malia, I over heard them saying that they'd be "chilling" down by the lake.
I heard voices and laughter. Bingo! They're here. I slowly waked closer to them but they didn't see me.

"Oh dude did you see the way she just sat there crying and gave up! Wow she was such a weakling." Jake said while laughing. Josh responded, "Yup I got it all on tape. I just wish you could have ripped her close off and done some more fun things to her." They both started laughing while their bon-fire burned. God I wish I could just throw them in that fire and watch them die. And I could video tape THAT!
But I was so angry with what Josh had just said, about "doing more fun things to Malia." And that's when I lost control.

I came out from the shadows and warped my earphones around Josh's neck. Jake jumped up from the log of wood he sat on. He just stood there with eyes wide. What a p*ssy! "Do you want to say that again?" I told Josh while I strangling him. He sat there and pleaded for his life but, I couldn't care less. Pure adrenaline was moving through my veins. And it was worst because the fire was making me even more angry. My blood pumping and I felt like I was on fire. Like I was on top of the world.

"Stop!" Jake shouted while Josh started to close his eyes. Josh fell to the ground, I put my hand on his wrist to find any sing of life or pulse. When I couldn't feel a heart beat I said out loud, "And bang you're dead." I walked closer to Jake and he started backing up. When his back hit a tree trunk he couldn't go anywhere. "Too bad your earphones are down there. Now you can't kill me." Jake said still frightened. I laughed coldly, "Oh no no no. Your death I've planned differently." I pulled out my gun from my back pocket and pulled it to his head. He winced wanting me to stop. "Please don't," he said while crying. Wow he is a p*ssy! I looked at him with my eyebrows lifted, "Any last words shit-face." He looked up at me trying to be brave, "Ya actually there are." Right before he could start his sentence I swung the gun around a bit and said, "Dude I couldn't care less." And I pulled trigger. After he collapsed to the ground I walked over to Josh's body and took my earphones back. What? I wasn't going to let perfectly good earphones go to waste! I connected my earphones to my phone and put them in my ears. I opened my playlist and clicked the song "Angel With a Shotgun" by the band the cab. I started singing but not too loudly. Wow what a relief! I looked over to the bodies, "Bye, bye," I said while waving goodbye. Now Malia could be safe, and never have to worry about those two morons ever again.

Hey guys! My exams are over (FINALLY) and I can go back to updating more often. :) ;)
