Imperfect Date

Chapter Ten

Chip

It had been so long since I had avoided everyone, including my friends, besides Flint, and now to witness something horrifying truly broke my heart.

Flint and Graham had told me that Misty was in danger and only I could save her from William. The truth is, I could do more than just save her. I could also get rid of William based on my job position.

I'm the manager in charge of conducting layoffs at the company, and with my power, I could have him out of here with his dumb Toon girlfriend and everyone and everything would be at peace.

However, seeing Misty passed out on the ground with William and Rain staring at me only shattered me. Misty did hurt me and refused to hear me out the other night, but that didn't stop me from loving her. It didn't stop me from caring about her. No matter what, she meant everything to me. The only reason why I had refused to talk to her for a while ever since our breakup was because I needed time to get my stupid personality override under control. I was tired of hurting people by accident, and I was tired of losing every single friend I've ever had after they found out what kind of person I was. I wanted to fix everything and I wanted Misty to know that I would never hurt her for any reason. I truly loved her and I wouldn't let anything happen to her.

That included the fact that I wasn't going to let William hurt her.

"Look who it is." William sneered. "If it isn't the stupid personality override chainsaw dude, here to save her so-called damsel in distress."

"You heard me." I replied firmly. "Get away from her. I'm not letting you hurt her like this."

"Why are you here anyway? You never even show up anywhere anymore, and now you see your girl on the ground in pain and that's literally the only reason you're here. Get lost, Chip."

"What, and leave her here? I don't think so."

William slowly walked up to me, as if he was preparing to beat me up so terribly, but I wasn't afraid of him. I wasn't afraid of anything anymore.

"You know, Chip, Misty told me one night about her relationship drama with you. It was pathetic. You seriously don't know how to control yourself, don't you, buddy? I bet if I even say one thing to anger you, your dumb personality override will get triggered randomly and then I can just watch you act absolutely idiotic. No wonder why Misty was terrified of you. You are so pathetic."

"Actually, that was the whole reason why I avoided everyone after that argument I had with her. I took the time to correct myself and control my override. And now it seems like my plan was successful, because your petty little insults towards me aren't even triggering it. And I'm not getting angry either."

"Quit lying to my face, I'm doing everything in my power to tick you off. You should be getting livid by now, admit it."

I facepalmed. "This isn't the point of any of this! All I told you to do is to leave Misty alone! I'm not accepting the fact that you hurt her this badly to leave her lying on the ground like this."

"Why is that even a big deal to you?" William inquired. "You two broke up. You don't need her, so go find someone else to love and care for."

I looked back at Misty's unconscious body on the ground, and I felt my eyes beginning to well up with tears. I couldn't lose her. I just couldn't let her go this easily.

I didn't just want her, I needed her. I needed her more than anything.

It was William who was wrong.

"For someone who has a loved one, this is absolutely hypocritical of you." I managed. "You act like Rain is so important to you, that she means everything to you, and yet you treat my girl like this, and you act like she's worthless."
