The Things I Hide

How I Met My Friends pt 1

About one year ago, Derp and I were starving. We had lost our only weapon after we were chased by a policeman. We were asking for money on a well populated road, and the police officer threatened to put us in jail. This is what happened:

Not wanting to cause trouble, and go to jail, I turned away from the road and started heading into the woods.

I thought that the officer would leave me alone after I left, but he didn't.

Instead, he followed me. I kept walking, not looking back. I could feel the Cop's presence steadily behind me.

'This isn't right,' Derp said with caution to me.

'I know, we might have to deal with him...'

I kept walking at a steady pace. My hands itched, wanting to grab for the diamond knife hidden in the pocket in my jacket.
I refrained from grabbing it, because I may not be in trouble.

"Excuse me sir, may I ask where you are going? Do you have a home?"The cop said, and I froze.

'I have a bad feeling about this. Please let me handle it.'

'Uhh... I don't know if right now is the best time...'

' pl-please... Ssundee... I got this... Let me handle it,'

'You better not get us killed.'

I start walking and then pretend to trip, so that the change doesn't look that noticeable.

On the ground I close my eyes, and let go of reality. Everything I feel. The feel of the uncomfortable twigs I landed on, the wind that was flowing through my long messy hair.

GONE...

Then I feel the reassuring feeling that I am not alone. Derp takes my place, now feeling everything I felt moments ago.

I am now aware of everything around me. Though I am just in my head. I'm not actually living it out, Derp is.

Talk about insanity. But I like it. In a way, I am glad that I am like this. Where would Derp and I be if we were separate?

I feel bad for him. It is not fair that I get to be in control the most often. His eyes are the cause of this. I can't change it.

'Thank you so much, ssundee'

'No problem,'
"Sir, are you okay?"

"Yea..."

"Well, tell me. Where are are you going? Do you have a home?"

"Why?"Derp says and his voice cracks. The voice of Ssundee is gone... For now.

"Well, you were just soliciting, and you don't have proper transportation, so..."

I feel anger start to flow through both  us, and I know the plan Derp is coming up with.

"Do you have a problem, officer?" Derp says slowly and turns around.  The officer flinches at Derp's new voice, but he holds his ground.

"No, but if you have no home, you need to come with me. It is against the law to have no home."

"Huh. Well this," Derp says pionting all around him," is my home. So, get out of my home, or I  will have a problem," Derp says and his eyes turn out.

"Well Sir, I'm sorry, but by  the law of the land,  you are under arrest until we find a home for you. Now come with me,"

He slowly reaches for the blade, and grips the handle tightly.

"I'm not going with you. You can't make me."

"Sir. We will find you a home. Maby get you an eye appointment.... Just come on."

Derp smiles, and grips the knife tighter. Wow.

"Did you not hear me? I. AM. NOT GOING. WITH. YOU!" Derp says and in one swift motion, throws the knife at the officer.
