Obsessed {A Dexter Fan fiction}

Chapter twelve

"I killed a man in your backyard"

I stood in my kitchen, wide eyed and not knowing what to say. 

"I, uh, Dexter what the fuck?!" I say, the only thing able to come out of my mouth at this time.

"I can explain. I was going to bring you guys donuts on my way home because work was slow and I was able to get off early, but when I pulled up there was someone who was standing at your door with a black sweatshirt on. I walked carefully up to him, and I noticed that he had a gun in the waistband of his pants in the back and that's when I basically jumped him. We made it to your backyard somehow and he tried to pull out his gun and, Hailie, I could not do anything other than kill him to keep myself alive."

I slowly walked towards a chair and took a seat, putting  my face in my hands, not knowing what to say.

"Dexter you have to tell the police. They won't say anything, right? It was self defense. That's what my dad al-" I stopped myself from telling Dexter one of my dads rules.

Remember the rules, Hailie. These are for you only. I thought of them so you can stay safe, so nothing will happen to you. I can not think of what I would do if you were no longer around. I don't think I would be able to forgive myself. So, please, follow them as best as you can.

"Well, do you know who it was? Have you seen him before?" I continued on

Dexter sighed and leaned over the sink. "I'm not sure who it was. He looked young. Didn't really seem to know what he was doing other than looking for trouble... Have you talked to anyone recently? Anyone new?"

I took my face out of my hands quicker than anyone has before and took a sharp inhale. "Oh SHIT." I say, covering my mouth immediately  remembering that Harrison was upstairs, so swearing wasn't ideal. 

I looked up and the look on Dexter's face was unimaginable. I had never seen anything like it before. I was so scared of the look that he gave me, I didn't want to tell him what I had done the previous day. I didn't want to tell him that I had texted a stranger who I met at the doctor's office. What would he think? What would he say? I would be in deep shit. 

"Hailie! What did you do?" Dexter said, surprisingly calm.

I rubbed my eyes and took a deep breath before telling him. "When I was at the doctor's office with my dad, there was this boy sitting in the waiting room. He looked terrible aside from dark features and light eyes. He had dark circles under his eyes, his nose was red and looked sore and his physical appearance looked like he didn't take care of himself at all. He shoved his number down my throat and I don't know why I did, but I texted him as soon as I got into my car." I said and looked at Dexter with a terrible look of regret on my face.

Dexter washed his hands in my sink and asked to see my cell phone, which I grabbed and did as he told. I watched him go through it and after writing down the number, he threw the phone on the floor and smashed it the best he could. I heard him sigh deeply before looking down at his blood stained shirt, taking it off and putting it into a plastic bag. 

"Can you please go find me a shirt big enough for me so we can go figure this out? Wake your father up and ask him to watch Harrison, please." he asks and I do what he says once again. 

I ran upstairs to find a shirt, thinking that one of my father's old one's would work. I wasn't sure if my father knew about Dexter and what he did, so I didn't want to ask him for a shirt. My father gave me his old shirts a lot, so I had a few. I grabbed one of them and told Harrison to go wake up his uncle.

Harrison had always been in our lives, ever since Rita had died. My father was Harrison's godfather, but we were around him so much that he called my father 'uncle'. If Harrison wasn't around us, he was with Jamie, his babysitter, or at school. He had only started school a few years ago, but still. 

After getting my father up, he talked with Dexter and eventually Dexter and I left to go to an unknown place, only he knew.
