My Sister's Keeper

Chapter Fifteen My Best Friend

         

                 I sit with my friend Derek who I have known sense I was in kindergarten. "So what are your plans for tonight when you get home?" I shrug and smile. "Well it's not what you think, I'm going to go home and sleep before the wedding." "Is Cameron at the house?" I nod. "She will be here until Sunday." "Is that hard for you?" "She's like my baby." He hugs me close. "I know." Then he laughs softly. "You know if I was straight I would of married you."

               "After Patty Brown kissed you in third grade you were never the same." Then he stands up. "Do you like my pants?" I look at the sparkly skinny jeans and laugh. "They are great!" I laugh and he shakes his head. "They are fabulous!" He says and I bust out laughing. "So Derek, have you had a steady relationship?" He looks around. "Well I don't kiss and tell but cause you're special yeah I had a boyfriend for a while... He was amazing in the bed-" "Ew! Bro... I don't need to hear about that." He hands me a shot of vodka. "Then take a drink!" I push it away. "I can't with my medications."

             Then he sighs. "Now I don't have a drinking buddy." Then Matt starts texting me. "Can you please come home? There's something I need to talk to you." I text back okay and kiss Derek on the cheek. "Gotta go, be there for the wedding... And wear those pants!" He laughs and nods. I walk out of the bar and then someone grabs my shoulder. I turn around slowly and see Chris. "What are you doing here?" "I love you." I shake my head. "I don't love you." I try shoving him away and he brings me close to his face and I smell booze on his breath. "You're drunk." I hiss and he smashes his lips on mine. I try shoving him away. Then he pins my hands above my heads... Just like when I got raped.

          I bite on his bottom lip so hard I draw blood and he pulls away quickly. "You're funny." He mumbles wiping the blood away. Then he starts pulling on my pant zipper and then I let a blood curdling scream rip through my throat. Then I see Matt on top of Chris beating the living daylights out of him. "You don't touch her!" He screeches as some guys try to pull Matt off and a few girls pull me away. Chris got a good punch to Matt's face and then Derek runs out and stomps on Chris's nuts hard. "Don't you ever touch my best friend like that EVER again." He says, flipping his dark bangs to the side and Matt hugs me close. "Thank god you're okay." I look at his black eye and gasp. "Your eye-" "I can marry you with a shiner I guess. I smile and then see Chris running from the place before the police come.
