Slade

Mystery Solved

Slade

He slaps her repeatedly in the face and my blood absolutely boils.

My hands turn into fists and I just before I can take my own action, the same FUCKING BLONDE GUY who helped her before comes in! "LEAVE HER ALONE!" the blonde dude shouts and kicks the guy.

The guy rolls his eyes. "You're nothing" he laughs.

"LEAVE!" blonde guy shouts in his face and the guy grunts, looking at Light then the blonde guy before stomping off. "Are you okay?" blonde guy asks Light.

She tears up and holds her red cheek. "It hurts"

"I know... I'm sorry" the blonde guy sighs.

"It's okay Mikey, I know it's not your fault" Light says and I nod.

Mikey.

Finally got a name.

"You better get to class" Mikey says and Light frowns. "I'll walk you there" he smiles and walks towards Light and I's class. Light sighs and follows him, still holding her cheek.

I stomp and charge after the guy that hurt her, pinning him into the lockers by his throat. "S-Slade!" he gulps.

I punch his face repeatedly before pulling at my knife. "YOU WILL NEVER TOUCH OR, FOR A FACT, EVEN LOOK AT BETH EVER AGAIN! AND IF YOU WANT TO IGNORE ME AND TELL SOMEONE ABOUT THIS ENCOUNTER, THEN-" I stab him in his chest, making his jaw drop before screaming. "YOULL BE DEAD!" I pull my knife out.

I hear soft footsteps and turn to see Light... in which she runs.

I turn back to the guy and punch him one last time before letting him go and following her.

She gets cornered and turns to me, crying her eyes out. "Please don't hurt me!" she begs and hides her face.

"No no! Baby I'm not gonna hurt you!" I put my hands up and she looks at me, crying. "I promise, Light. I'm just trying to help you" I say.

She looks at my bloody knife and I put it in my waistband. "S-so you've been the one? The one stopping the same people from coming back?"

I sigh and nod, lowering my hands. "Yea... yea I have"

"W-why didn't you tell me? This is a HUGE deal!" she frowns.

"Because, I was only worried about myself. I didn't want people to think a ruthless dangerous killer is doing all this" I say.

"O-oh-" she trails off.

"It's not against you, Light! It's me! I didn't want you to know I'm behind all this and not your obnoxious blonde guy friend" I growl.

She sighs. "He's my cousin"

"Oh!" I say with relief. "But really, I promise you I don't want people to know isn't because I'm ashamed of you. I just don't want my cover blown is all"

She nods and sadly smiles. "I get it... thank you for all your help... even though it may not stop the bullying completely, it means a lot knowing you're with me"
