Bunny - Battle of the bands

Chapter 38

Kenny speeds to his house. He quickly parks the car and takes a deep breath. "Okay... I can do this."

He jumps out of the car and runs inside, Leo follows after him. His stomach hurt from how nervous he was.

Kenny flings the door open. He frantically looks around. Karen is in the kitchen filling up a glass of water. "Kenny! Welcome home!"

"Karen? Is it just you?"

"Just me? Well, your ex is here. She just kinda let herself in, she told me she had something important to say."

"Where is she?"

"Bathroom."

"Thanks."

Kenny goes to the bathroom but no one's inside. A loud crash comes from his bedroom.

He slowly approaches and opens the door. Tammy is looking through a box.

"Can I help you?" Kenny says, not trying to hide his anger.

"Kenny? You're here... but I..." she sees Leo standing behind him.

Tammy laughs and stands up, stepping away from the box. "I guess I overestimated you, Buttercup."

Leo scowls, "I told you not to call me that."

Kenny steps into his room. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to assume little buttercup told you everything?"

"He asked you not to call him that. And yes, he did."

"You shouldn't have done that."

"I already know about the picture. You aren't going to blackmail him."

"He seems to have forgotten that I know some valuable information. Buttercup, should I tell him? Or do you plan on breaking the news."

Kenny steps in-front of Leo, "Enough. Just get out. You aren't welcome here."

"Kenny, you don't know what he's done. Would you still be protecting him if you knew? I'm so curious."

"I don't care."

"Then you won't care if I tell you."

Leo steps back.

"Little Buttercup here isn't as innocent as he looks, did he tell you that he-"

"STOP!" Leo yells. His eyes are wide and his hands are shaking.

Tammy smiles. "How he killed someone? He killed his own boyfriend, his own lover."

"STOP!!"

"In cold blood. He murdered him. Think for a second, what position does that put you in, Ken?"

Kenny looks back at Leo. Leo stumbles back. "I- I didn't! I didn't kill him! He-"

"Am I wrong in saying you were there when he died? Am I wrong to say you were the one who set him over the edge? Can you really deny that you were the reason, the sole reason, his life came to an end?"

"I- I don't-"

"You can't. Because it's true. You killed him, buttercup. You're a murderer, and you expect to live a happy life? You expected someone as golden as Kenny to accept you? After what you did?"

Kenny grabs Tammy by the arm. He drags her out of his room and into the front yard. He releases her and slams the door.

He goes back to his room. Leo is in the doorway, frozen in fear.

"Leo..."
