Betrayal

(Damien POV)

I wake up in the middle of the night to hear a shrilling squeal, like an animal noise.
I instantly put my shoes on and run out the door.
Fuck, why didn't he fucking listen to me.
I close it behind me.
I run down the alleyway.
Infront of the bushes I see a man, sprawled on the ground.
I go closer to him to see a couple gun wounds, he seems to be conscious.
I look up to see smile man.
"such a shame he had to die this way." he says.
"who?" I ask.
"both of them." he says.
I look at the guy on the ground, Joe?
"Where the fuck is he?" I ask.
"he's in the bushes." he says.
I walk over to the bushes.
"don't bother, he's probably dead already anyways." he says smiling.
I run in, the bush marking me.
I see an alternate on the floor, the grass was covered red.
I run over to him and sit down next to him.
"what the fuck happened!?" I yell.
"you were right." he says.
I see multiple wounds all over his body.
"what?" I say.
"he stabbed me in the back." he says, his shoulders shake.
I hug him, he sobs.
"I'm here." I say.
"it's gonna be ok."

I call Michael.
"what you doing calling me your in the other room." he says.
"Come to the Safe place NOW and bring a medkit." I say.
"what's happening?" he asks.
"it's Twig, he's not very well"

(10 hours ago)

I eat lunch, watching TV.
Twig was out with his new 'friend'
Fox comes in and hugs me from behind
"good evening." I say.
"it's already evening?" he asks.
"yup." I say.
He kisses me on the cheek and then goes to make himself brunch.
Cupid by Jack stauber starts to play in my Spotify playlist.
"I like this song." Fox says.
He sings along.

🎵Oh circumsise my love for you🎵

"it's far too vapid and aimless!" Fox sings.

I look over at him, he's sat on the sofa tapping his foot on the floor. I smile.

🎵I want to be painless🎵

🎵Love soldier, I want closure🎵

"and a dollar for the bus back home" I sing.

"anyways, what do you want to do today?" I ask.
"dunno." he says
"I mean, we're alone all night so...?" I say motioning to the bedroom.
"oh." he says with a smile.
"WE SHALL GO TO THE SHOP AND GET SNACKS!!! " I say.
"YES!!! " he says.
"what movie?" I ask.
"what about a Disney or Pixar." he asks.
"sure, you wanna choose tonight?" I ask.
"YEEAAAH!!!" he says.
We go to the shop, get snacks and go back home.

________________________

We were deciding on a movie.
"what about Up?" I ask.
"nah, too sad I don't wanna cry." he says.
"hmm, Finding Nemo?" I ask.
"already watched that a bunch of times." he says.
"101 Dalmatians?" I ask.
"Is that even Disney?" he asks.
"it is, how the fuck do you not know that?" I ask.
"I don't know!" he says.
"Toy story?" I say.
"hmm, why not?" he says.
"finally." I say.
"hey!" he says.
"you do take long to pick a movie." I say.
"I don't want to watch Toy story anymore." he says, smiling smugly.
"GODDAMMIT!!! ." I yell.
"ratatouille?" I ask.
"oh my god, yes!" he says.
I put it on.
We sit and eat snacks.

_____________________________

I wake up, the TV was playing credits.
I turn it off.
Fox was fast asleep, I pick him up and take him to my room.
I gently put him on the bed and lay down next to him.
He opens his eyes.
"is it over already?" he asks.
"yup" I say.
"did you carry me?" he asksm
"yeah" I say, turning to look at him.
"oh I love you." he says.
I feel myself blush.
"you love me?" I ask.
"yeah" he says smiling.
"i love you too." I say.
He comes closer.
"now go to sleep." I say, then kissing him and turning around.
I go to sleep.

Michael rushes into the bushes.
He sees the scene.
