Stand By Me [Fanfic]

Chris is Hurt

3rdPOV

"Alright, Chambers. You little faggot. Who is Patricia seeing?" Ace asked Chris pinning him to a wall.

"I don't know" Chris lied.

"Bullshit" he said slamming Chris's head against the wall. Every slam, Chris's skull would crack like the fire of hatred in Ace's heart, and Ace loved it.

"I'm never going to tell you" Chris stated. Ace's fist collided with Chris's nose making a more satisfying crunching sound. Blood spilled out of Chris's nose.

"Fucking tell me!" Ace yelled slamming Chris against the wall again by his throat.

"I'd rather die" Chris remarked, and with one swift move Aces fist collided with Chris's head, knocking him out. Ace walked away leaving Chris's unconscious body on the ground of an empty ally.

Tris POV

Why was he late? He's never late. Me and Chris were meeting up at the liquor store, and we were gonna decide what both of us were gonna do about the situation. But he wasn't here yet.

"Fuck it"I said walking out of the store. Where was he?

I walked infront of the diner where most teenagers go to hang out. I opened the door and looked around for Chris. He wasn't to be found, but I saw Gordie, and my soul got crushed, because Gordie was with a girl. My anxious face turned to a full frown when I saw this girl.

She was flawless, absolutely stunning compared to me. He hair every curl perfect, and her nails, not a chip to be seen, and she was a stick, perfectly thin in all the right places, and that was just from her back side. I was nothing compared to her. And she was probably everything to Gordie.

I swallowed the lump in my throat, and walked over to Gordie.

"Gordie, I hate to interrupt but I need to ask you a really important question."  I said to him.

"I actually have to go to the bathroom" the girl said. She got up and walked away towards the bathroom.

"That's my new girl friend, her name is Paige." Gordie said. "Isn't she beautiful?" He asked. My heart shattered.

"Yeah, she's really pretty." I managed to say without my voice cracking. "Um, have you seen Chris?" I asked.

"Um no, but I think he went around Carla's," Gordie said. Carla's was a small bakery, a few buildings over.

"Okay thanks" I said. I walked away with tears in my eyes. He really liked her, and not me. I ran behind the building, and put my back against the wall. A tear slid down my cheek, and I slid down the wall. I sat there for a second, tears consuming my eyes, and then I decided that i wasn't going to let it effect me.

I got up and I walked towards Carla's to find Chris. He would know what to do.

I got to Carla's and peeked my head in to find Chris not their. I walked around back, and gasped at Chris's laying on the ground unconscious. Christopher Chambers. I sprinted back to the diner, and slammed open the door running over to Gordie.

"Chris is hurt!" I spoke. Gordie jumped up and looked at Paige.

"I am so sorry, I'll call you later!" Gordie said to Paige before following me. "Where is he?" Gordie asked urgently.

"Here" I said running down the slope. "Help me get him to the tree house".

---

I slapped Chris across the face, and he woke up.

"Chris!" I hissed.

"What?" He said groaning and rubbing his now black eye.

"What happened?" I asked him.

"Ace" he managed to mumble.

"Oh my god, it's my fault" I said.

"No, he wanted me to tell him who, and I refused to" Chris said.

"What the hell is going on?!" Gordie asked from the corner of the tree house. I looked at Chris. He nodded.

"Ace is, kinda, out for you, but he doesn't know he's out for you" I mumbled.

"What?" Gordie hissed.

"Listen Gordo, Ace wants Tris back, but she likes someone else, so Ace is going to 'teach him a lesson'"

"So what do I have to do with it?" Gordie asked. I avoided eye contact with both of them.

"Come on Gordie! Get you head out of your ass and open you eyes!" Chris yelled at him.

"She likes... Me?" Gordie asked pointing at himself. He looked at me.

"You like me?" Gordie asked me.

"Yeah" I said blushing.

"Oh my god, you must think I'm such an asshole" he said hitting himself in the face.

"No I should have told you!" I argued. "I just didn't because look at Chris, and he's not even the guy Ace is out for, imagine what he's gonna do to you when he finds out"

"I told you a girl was beautiful, and it wasn't you" He said. "Stupid' He said hitting himself in the face again. 

"Gordie, stop! It's okay" I said to him. 

"We better figure out something, not to shit on you guys, but I think it would be a good idea for Gordie to keep her girlfriend" Chris suggested. "To be honest" 

"I guess it's a good idea." I said.  

"I gotta go, but i'll tell you guys the plan" Chris said, climbing out of the tree house. He shut the door behind him, and Gordie turned to me. 

"I'm so sorry!" he said.

"Oh shut up!" I said before pulling him closer to me, and kissing him. He put his hand on my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. We started making out, short little kisses, and then we started to french kiss, gordies hands traveling up my waist. He kissed my neck like a showed him before. 

We suddenly jumped away from each other, when Chris popped his head threw the trap door. 

"Guys, Ace is coming!"
