Friends Til' The End

25

"So I'm meeting up with Karen Barclay tomorrow for coffee and to talk about Chucky so I have to go alone," I said.

"Okay, I can bring you there, what time?" Tiffany asked.

"12 and I may need the meds you used on Nica to get her to sleep" I answered.

Charles looked at Chucky, "you sure we can trust her?" Charles asked.

I felt my anger rise and I tried to bite my tongue and not say anything but against my better judgement, I snapped. "Are you serious Charles? What gave you the impression that I would betray him and you know what I may get punished for speaking like this but I don't care. But get this I would never do anything to betray Chucky. So Fuck you. I'm going out" I said as I stood up and left the house leaving everyone there in shock at my outburst.

I went down the road when Jake came up to me and slapped me. "What the hell Maya" Jake screamed.

"Okay, I deserved that. But I couldn't let you hurt Chucky, Jake" I said, "he's in a better place, he's with his parents."

"So where's Chucky?" Jake asked.

"At Junior's. I kinda went off on Charles after he questioned my loyalty to Chucky, implying that I would betray them. Now I'm avoiding them for a few hours before I go back and undoubtedly be punished" I said. "I know you have zero reason to trust me but I can give you a spot to sleep for the night if you want it," I said.

"You're right I don't trust you and I should kill you right now," Jake said.

"You can try but trust me, Jake, I've killed three times the amount of people than you. I don't want to kill you Jake but if you try I'm not going down without a fight and I can't promise you'll make it out alive. I just don't want you sleeping in the streets but if that's what you want I can just leave" I said and started to walk away.

"Fine, show me the place," Jake said, walking faster to catch up to me. "Why did you do it?" Jake asked.

"It's who I am, Charles, ever tell you about his first kill?" I asked, and Jake nodded his head. "Well my first time was a friend I had when I was 12, they ruled it an accident as that is what I said happened. I only just told Chucky about it. Like him, I was born like this and unlike killers that are made we have a need, it's natural. We plan to leave Hackensack soon, we're just waiting for Andy to bring our items back that he stole. And Jake if I were you I would keep quiet as no one would believe you if you told them" I said as we turned onto Blaze Lane.

"Why did you befriend us in the beginning?" Jake asked, sadly as he looked over at me.

"I wouldn't have if Lexy didn't let me know that you knew about Chucky and then you may have been able to beat him. I wouldn't have known that you guys knew so there wouldn't have been a need to join as I would've probably kept to myself as no one really wants to be friends with the weird girl who brings a doll with her everywhere and it would be in their benefit as death follows Chucky everywhere you know that better than anyone. Being his friend is amazing Jake and I'm sad that you never got to that point even though Charles accepted you and he did care about you a little but that's gone because you betrayed him not the other way around Jake" I said.

"I did what I did to save Lexy," Jake said.

"The one that's been bullying you. You can say things changed after she found out about Chucky but she changed because she knew you could kill her so she did it to protect herself, not that it helped, not because she felt bad. Did she ever apologise to you and mean it?" I asked.

"No, but-" Jake said.

"Exactly my point Jake, some people deserve to die that's just how it is," I said.
