Your POV

Yellow Flicker: Chapter 14

I grab my pistol and run down the stairs, almost tripping in the process. It's about 2:40 AM and I heard a sound. I was up, thinking about Lauren and other things when I heard the noise. It sounded like a crash. I take a glance at the window in the living room to see glass shattered. I hear a noise in the kitchen, so I make my way over there.

I peer my head around the corner to see a guy in all black and a ski mask. His back is turned to me as he raids a drawer.

"Hands up." I say, aiming my gun at him. He tenses and freezes. "Turn around, slowly." He does. "Drop the knife." He does. I walk up to him and slowly begin to take his mask out. But, he pushes me into the counter. I keep my grip on my pistol.

He grabs the knife and chargers at me, but I dodge him. I aim my gun at him and fire, but it only grazes him in the arm. He grunts and tackles me. I roll us over and punch him repeatedly in the face, seeing as my gun has slid across the kitchen. I hear footsteps rushing downstairs, but I ignore them.

I punch the guy one last time before he gets knocked out. I pant as I take his mask off.

"Luis?" I breath out, starring at his bruised face. "Fucking Christ."

"What happened here?" Demi comes into the kitchen, along with the others.

"Luis here, broke into our house, broke the window and tried to kill me." I explain, getting off of him and throwing the mask on the ground.

"Is he dead?" Lauren inquires.

"No," I shake my head. "Just knocked out."

~~~

"Why'd you do it, Luis?" I ask, looking at him as he's tied up in a chair in the living room. He just woke up about 5 minuets ago.

He tilts his head to the side, "Why would I tell you?" I bite my lip and nod. I get up from the couch and stand in front of him. He tries to kick me, but his feet are also tied up.

I punch him in the face, sending a tooth out, "Whoops! Let's see, what else can I do?" I grab my knife from my shoe, pressing it onto his cheek. "Now, tell me why."

He shakes his head, "No." I press the knife onto his cheek harder, creating a cut. He holds back a scream.

"Luis, Luis, Luis," I sing. "I'll just kill you then, is that what you want?"

"I rather die then tell you." He spats.

I nod, grabbing my gun, load it and aim it at him, "Very well then." I shoot him, the bullet going into his head. He slumps down in the chair, his head hanging with blood coming out of it.

"He was a dick anyways." Dinah comments.

"Yeah, I despised him." Ally nods in agreement.

"Was an ass-"

"Okay!" Lauren snaps. "I get it, god damn." I look at Lauren, tilting my head to the side.

"Lauren, do you care for him?" I inquire.

"Well - yeah! He was my boyfriend." She defends.

"Did you love him?" I ask.

"Yes!"

I nod my head, biting my lip, "Alright. I'm going to..I don't know." I stand up, walking out of the room.

I hear Dinah say, "Nice on Ralph."

This is new, you know, writing. Actually, it's not new. It's just I haven't done it since I was about 14. I'm now 19, though.

I have to say, this mission is by far is an interesting one. It's like a movie where it contains drama, romance and action. Except it's a lesbian romance and not a straight one.

Lauren captures my attention, everything about her does. To her green eyes to her body and how she walks and her voice. She cares for me unlike other people. Other people would just ask 'how are you' because they think they have too. They think they have to be kind to people.

Lauren doesn't. She asks because she actually cares. And that's one of the things I like - no, love about her.

It's weird, isn't it? How you have this thing going where you let nobody in, but somehow, this person appears and actually changes your life. How they make you feel again? Or, how they make you love again?

Yeah, that's Lauren.
