I Didn't Give a Shit.. Until I Met Him

I Didn't Give a Shit.. Until I Met Him (16)

Alex:

"Alex James, you are now discharged from the hospital," the doctor told me. I was still in a lot of pain from the shot but I'm happy to get out of this shithole. I got up surpressing a groan - I hate showing people I'm in pain - and walked out of the room without saying a word. I don't need to thank them, it's their job. They get paid to fix me up.

I walked with sort of a limp to make the pain a little more bearable. I went to Dereks room to see how he's doing.

"HI ALEX!" Anthony shouted. I smiled, feeling my lips crack and waved. He ran to me and hugged my legs.

"Me and Derek was so scared for you," he said sounding muffled.

"I'm fine, is Derek in there?"

"Ya. The doctor says he have to stay a little more." I nodded and went inside the room. For the first time I saw Derek's mom. She's beautiful. Long blonde hair, a light olive skin tone. She was holding Derek's hand.

"Derek?" I said quietly. His mom and him looked my way. He tried to smile but stopped, probably because of his chapped lips. I waited for him to say something but he didn't.

"Who are you?" His mom asked.

"Alex..." I trailed off. I thought Derek would have mentioned me, but then again, who would want to mention me to their parents?

"Get out," she said fiercly.

I blinked. "Excuse me?"

"I said get out. You almost killed my son."

"Mom, she didn't do anything," Derek interjected.

"No, don't you defend her. She's the one the gang is after, and you almost got killed because of it."

"First, you don't even know the entire story so why don't you shut up and learn what actually happened before you go on yelling at people. Second, as soon as I heard they were after Derek I went to help him. If it wasn't for me they would have killed Derek, so you're welcome," I said coldly. It's what I hate about parents; they don't know anything but they keep on talking as if they were there.

"How dare you talk like that to me? Haven't your parents taught you to respect your elders?" She asked appalled. It took a lot of strength not to punch her. I closed my eyes and exhaled.

"Mom, stop it," said Derek tiredly.

"No my parents haven't gotten to that lessen yet," I told Derek's mom. I thought she would be something like Derek and his brother; nice and kind. But no, instead she's a bitch.

"Alex, doesn't your stomach hurt?" Derek asked. I looked at him and immediately felt bad. It was my fault that Derek got shot. I told him to stay away from me, he just doesn't listen.

"A bit," I lied. It hurts like a bitch. "What about you Derek? Are you okay?"

He looked at me as if contemplating what he was going to say. From the corner of my eye I could see Derek's mom glaring at me. I smirked.

"I'm okay. Mom can I talk to Alex alone?" His mom looked between me and Derek and sighed aggressively and walked out angerly. I knew she would have made a big problem out of it if Derek didn't look so tired. I sat on the chair his mom was on just a second ago and looked at Derek. He looked as if he hadn't slept in days (which he probably hasn't). He had bags under his eyes. His perfect ivory complexion had red splotches.

"Derek, I think your moms right. We shouldn't see each other anymore. Ever. You getting shot was my fault," I started. I don't know why I said that. I didn't want to. After all the shit that happened in my life, Derek is the only thing that can make it a bit better. His eyes flew open.

"Alex, it wasn't your fault. It was theirs. You weren't the one that shot me. They were."

"Before you met me did anything like this happen to you before?" I asked. He looked down, but didn't answer. Just as I thought.

"Exactly. They wanted to hurt me so they got you," I told him.

"That doesn't matter. Whats done is done. It's okay now."

I shook my head. "It doesn't work like that. Derek, I bring trouble to people around me, that's why i isolate myself from everyone. That and everyones a bitch."

Derek tried to laugh. "Alex you brought nothing on me, it was my choice," he whispered tiredly. I felt bad for keeping him up, but I had to let him know.

"You wouldn't have to make that choice if it wasn't for me," I said irritatedly.

"Alex, theres a reason why I didn't tell them where you were, or if I knew you," He said. I expected him to elaborate or something, but he just stopped there.

"Because you thought I was going to beat the shit out of you?" I guessed smirking. He smiled.

"No, I don't want to see you hurt. I mean I know you're strong and all, but there were so many guys and I knew they had weapons."

"Derek, you're the biggest idiot ever!" I shook my head in disbelief. "If you knew they had weapons, then you run or just rat me out, I could have taken them if I had weapons with me," I told him

"You would have shot them?"

"Well yes. They shot us, so I shoot them. An eye for an eye."

"I just didn't expect you to shoot anyone."

"Why? Because my kind personality tells you otherwise, or is it because my modest clothes that give you the impression that I'm faithful and compassionate?" I asked, my voice dripping of sarcasm.

He laughed, well at least tried to laugh. "I mean I know you're a badass and all, but I know deep down you wont actually hurt someone."

 I scowled. "I'm tired of you thinking you know me. You don't know me. No matter how hard you try you will never fully understand me. One minute I would be smiling at you, and the next I wanna rip your fucking face." I got up ignoring the pain in my stomach, and slowly walked to the door. Just as I was about to open the door, it whipped in my face. I looked to see Derek's mom running towards him, as if he has having a seizure or something.

"Watch it bitch," I said to the lady that was stroking Derek's hair as if he was a beagle. I smirked when she gaped at me.

Authors Note: Hello, oh my god, it has been soooooo long since I last uploaded!!! I'm soo sorry, I just had really bad writers block, on my books, but I'm trying to overcome it. Well I hope you like it, I was battling writers block here, but I like the part with Alex and Dereks mom. But this chapter is really short, so I apologize for that too :$
