Love Has No Boundaries (Straight Furry Fanfiction)

Chapter 4: Some Things Should Stay Secret

Derek's P.o.V

"Come on Tommy, let's go home" I said. "Okay" he yawned and we started walking towards the truck. "Tired little man?" I asked. "A bit, it's been a long day" he replied and I couldn't help but laugh. "What?" He said a bit pissy. "You spent all day on your computer. I got you out tonight to watch a movie, that was it though" I said and he groaned and said, "Yeah, but we were doing the easter egg on Gorod Krovi". We reached the truck and he got in the left side and I walked round to the other side(we drive on the right in England). I got in and checked my Furphone (iPhone sort of pun) and it said 8:54pm. "Tom it's only 9 o'clock" I said. "Fine you caught me" he said very energetic and we laughed. "I knew you couldn't be that tired" I said and started up the engine.

"So you found someone you like yet Tommy?" I asked as it was a long drive to Rebecca's. "Where are we?" He asked with worry in his voice. "We're going to Rebecca's, I'm sure she's fine with us staying the night as it's quite late" I said and I think he relaxed a little. "What, did you think I'd drive you into the woods before revealing I'm not Derek and killing you?" I said and he chuckled. "A little bit" he said. "You need to stop playing horror games" I said. We sat in silence for a bit until Tom finally answered with "Yes, I've found someone I like". I grinned, "I knew you would Tommy. So who is it?" I asked and he looked nervous, unsure and afraid. "What's wrong Tom?" I asked concerned. "Would you ever hate me?" He asked surprising me. "What sort of a question is that? I would never hate you, we're best bros" I said. "Okay, well the um, girl I like is... E-Emily" he said and I felt something snap. "You like Emily Jackson, your rival, who bullies you?" I said growing angry. "Now don't take this the wrong way Derek, I-" he started but I cut him off. "What happened huh, did you forget that our families hate each other, or did you never get that through you thick skull!" I shouted at him and looked back at the road. I heard him sniff and realised what I said. I looked back over at him and he was hugging his legs and crying. "Oh god, Tommy, I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get so angry" I said trying to calm him down but he kept crying. "Tommy, listen" I said and went to pat his back with my left paw, but he hit my arm quite hard making me pull my arm back. "Tommy be careful, that hurt" I said but he ignored me and kept crying. "Hey, I said sorry Tommy. Please don't do this, don't shut me out" I said but he looked at me, tears running down his face making his fur damp. "Stop talking! I thought that of all people my brother, who I loved more than anything in the world would understand! I was wrong to trust you!" He shouted and continued crying and I felt really hurt. "I do understand Tommy, I was just really shocked that my anger took control. C'mon, we're best buds" I said but he kept ignoring me. "Please stop crying" I said putting my left paw on his head making him flinch and slowly rubbing it. He started growling and I got confused and looked over at him. "What's wrong" I asked slowly taking my paw back before he grabbed it and bit into it really hard making me yelp with pain. "Tommy, get off that hurts" I said but he ignored me and sunk his teeth deeper making it hurt even more. "Get the fuck off!" I shouted releasing the wheel and punching him hard in the snout so he let go, and grabbed the wheel again. "What the fuck is wrong with you?! You could have bitten a chunk out of my fucking paw!" I shouted at him looking at the teeth marks and blood pouring down my paw. I heard him start to cry again but this time I didn't care. "You know what, Joe was right. You are a fucking wimp!" I shouted at him making him cry harder. I looked past him and saw that when I hit him, his head cracked the window and cut his head. "I'm charging you for my window" I said calming down. "I fucking hate you! Never talk to me again!" He shouted at me holding the back of his head but I hardly cared. "Well it's your own fault for loving someone who would never love you back" I said still a bit angry. "Who would love an autistic husky anyway" I said quieter but loud enough for him to hear. "Fuck you Derek, I used to look up to you. Now I don't see why" he said but I ignored him until he said "I wish you were dead". That hurt but I said nothing, we just sat in silence until we reached Rebecca's.

I knocked on the door and my mum opened it which didn't surprise me. "Thank god, take him away from me. I have nothing to say to him" I said pushing Tom towards her. She hugged him as he cried into her shirt. "Derek, what happened to your paw?" Rebecca's dad asked. "He, happened" I said gesturing at Tom. "Thanks for the tea and letting Derek stay here" my mum said walking out the door with Tom still crying. "Derek, are you okay, what happened?" Rebecca asked running to me and hugging me. "I'm fine, I just need a bandage" I said holding up my paw and she gasped. "C'mon, let's get you one and you can tell me what happened" Rebecca said taking me to the kitchen. She wrapped my paw up and I told her what happened. "Derek, it seems to me like it's your fault this happened" Rebecca said and I wanted to disagree but I knew she was right. "The last thing I said to him was that no one would ever love an autistic husky" I said and she hugged me. "Well, I'm sure if you give him a while he'll forgive you" she said but my ears still drooped. "I don't think he will. I really hurt him, I don't think he will ever talk to me again" I said wanting to cry, "And even so, we'll never be the same". Rebecca saw that I was going to cry and kissed me. "Well you've still got me" she said and it was true. "Thanks Rebecca, I'm so glad that I fell in love with you" I said hugging her. "Well he fell in love too. In time if they become a thing you're going to have to accept that they love each other, and not get mad" she said. "You're such a good problem solver" I said and she giggled. "I might make a good mum then" she said, "When the time is right". I nodded and kissed her. I hope Tom learns to forgive me.
