Good or Bad?

Chapter 45: Defense

"I killed her." I said wide eyed.

I found myself at Sara's house. Cody told her everything.

"No Lex." Sara said, grabbing my hands. "You saved my little brother." Sara added.

I looked up to see her sad eyes. I know she is upset over Naeyeon's death, but... I didnt know what else to do.

"I killed her still. She wasnt pointing the gun at me." I said.

Sara looked down.

"Then I will take the blame." Cody butted in.

I sighed. "Cody I cant let you do that." I said.

"Of course you can. The blow was on the side of her head anyways. I can use it as self defense. You dont even need to get brought into this." Cody said. Cody is special. He is well known for getting into trouble with the wrong crowd. And I was someone that got him in trouble.

"Cody, you are young. I smashed Naeyeon's skull. I need to take responsibility."

"But... I dont want you to." Cody said. "Take this as an 'I owe you one'. You saved my life Lexi. Naeyeon was going to kill me. I could see it in her eyes." Cody said.

I sighed in defeat. Cody is stubborn, and I knew I wasnt going to win.

"I think you should talk to Sehun." Sara butted in, not removing her eyes from the floor.

I show up at Sehun's apartment, just as he got out of the shower.

"Oh hey love." He said, with nothing but a towel on.

"Jesus Christ."

"What was that?" He asked.

Aw hell. I said that outloud.

"Nothing." I replied.

Sehun just smirked and headed to his room. I shortly followed.

When I walk in his room, he has managed to get pants on.

"So what made you decide to visit me this time of night?" Sehun asked.

"I need to tell you something." I breathed out.

Sehun's face became anxious.

"What happened? Are you okay?" He asked, sitting me down on the bed.

"I killed one of my best friends." I admitted. I turned to look at a shocked Sehun, and I continued.

"Madison warned me that Naeyeon was going to try to kill me. Naeyeon asked me to meet her by the lake, and Cody was there too. Naeyeon pulled out a gun on me, and Cody pulled one on her. She then pointed her gun at Cody, so I got a rock and hit her over the head. We rushed her to the hospital and she died a few hours ago. Its all my fault." I said, putting my face in my hands.

Sehun didnt say anything, he just pulled me into his embrace.

"Sara says I should use it as self defense." I said.

"It was self defense. You were in danger." Sehun said softly, running his fingers through my hair.

"Cody is trying to take the blame for me though. He said he owes me for saving him. I cant just let him take the blame."

"I agree that he shouldnt take the blame, but he could be your witness." Sehun said.

"I could go to jail Sehun." I started to freak out.

"Dont freak out. Please. Cody is still a minor. So techinically you saved him. Naeyeon was commiting child endangerment." Sehun said.

He has a point.

"Im just...scared." I said softly.

"I know, but get some sleep." Sehun said.

Sehun stood up and walked to his closet. He grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a tshirt and threw them over to me. I was glad, because I am so damn tired of these skinny jeans that had Naeyeon's blood on the bottom...

I quickly started to strip. Sehun stared at me for a bit.

*cough* I faked coughed and he turned and faced the other way.

When I was done, I walked over to Sehun's bare back and hugged him. He turned in my arms and engulfed me in his embrace. We stood there for a while before he finally spoke.

"I am glad you are safe." Sehun whispered, walking me to his bed.

I woke up the next morning, to the sound of my phone ringing. I opened my eyes to reveal Sehun's room. I quickly reached over and grabbed my phone off the night stand.

Cody.

"Hel-"

"Good news." Cody interrupted me. I swear him and Sara are just alike.

"What?"

"So I went to talk to the police today about Naeyeon. They ruled it as self defense. When they asked who used it as self defense, I told them you saved my life. Since you saved a minor, you are off the hook." Cody said.

I sighed in relief, and I felt Sehun start to slowly wake up.

"Thats great Cody. Thanks." I said, hanging up the phone.

I slowly place the phone on the nighstand, and turnover in Sehun's embrace.

I stare at his sleeping face for awhile, until he startles the hell out of me.

"So what did Cody say?" Sehun asked, his eyes opening and staring into mine.

I was startled, but soon spoke. "The police said that they are ruling it as self denfense, because I saved a minor's life." I said.

Sehun tightened his embrace, "That's great news," he said.

I just smiled, and soon fell back asleep.

Sehun and I were walking down the street, back to my house, when we saw Madison.

She was sitting on a bench, reading a....Bible?

"AMEN!" Madison yelled, shutting her bible.

What in the fuck?

"Dont look so disturbed." Sehun whispered in my ear.

I then realized the look of disgust that I had on my face. I saw Madison walking over to us and I tried my best to fake a smile.

"Hello my fellow disciples." Madison said, walking past.

"Disciples? Hahhaaaaa shitttt." Sehun said.

I laughed at what he said. But, soon Madison showed up again.

"Oh and by the way." Madison started. "Jb and I are getting baptized this Sunday." She said, passing me a flyer. "Maybe you could use some spiritual awakening too." Madison smirked and walked away.

"Sehun I swear. Hold me back before I knock her over the head with that Bible." I said, turning to face her.

Sehun grabbed my wrist and pulled me the direction to my house.

"Calm down you crazy disciple." He chuckled.
