Psycho Bride

Chapter 7: The guilt trip

Derek and Martin had spent the rest of the afternoon with Victoria. Their plans of going ring shopping for Grace had been completely ruined by Victoria after she screamed at Derek in the middle of the tuxedo store and told him he wasn't allowed to talk to anyone else. 

What bothered Derek the most was the look on his new friend Kate's face when Victoria started mouthing off at her. He didn't even really get to talk to her before they left after putting the tuxes in the back so they could be ready to go for their big day. 

The three walked to the apartment with Victoria's mouth running the entire time. It was only down the street from their building so it wasn't a very long walk. She was telling Derek that when they got up there that he needed to pack his bags because she was taking him away to her father's mansion for their big engagement party tonight. 

She kept nagging his ear off as they got to the building. Derek was a good guy when they got to the building door and held the door open for Martin and Victoria. As Victoria walked through the door she didn't acknowledge the fact that Derek held the door open for her like a gentleman. Martin smiled at Derek, "Thank you," He started. 

"Your welcome," Derek responded to him with a smile. 

Victoria gave Derek a dirty look. 

The three got on the elevator. They went up to the apartment in silence because Victoria had shut her big fat mouth finally. 

To their surprise when Martin opened the door, there stood Grace at the stove making a meal. She had wanted to surprise the two boys with dinner since she already knew that they had a stressful morning. She was very confused as to what was going on when they walked into the apartment with all three of them. 

Martin smiled seeing her and walked to her after Victoria and Derek entered the apartment. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the side of her neck. 

Derek waved to her, "Hi Grace," He started as Victoria closed the door. 

Victoria turned around and looked at Derek. She hit his arm, "What did I tell you about talking to other women?! Derek Ronald get in your room and pack everything now!!!!!!!" She snapped at him. 

Derek rolled his eyes and marched off into his room. 

Grace looked at Martin, "What's going on?" She asked with concern. 

Martin began to whisper to her,  "Derek had coffee with another woman this morning and the woman he had coffee with also worked at the tuxedo rental store. They were talking here and there but Victoria became a jelous bitch because she noticed and told him that he's no longer allowed to speak to other woman or anyone else but her." 

Grace made a confused face, "Possessive much?" She whispered back. 

Martin laughed a little, "Oh by the way, we have an engagement party to go to tonight."  

Grace sighed, "Okay but we're going after dinner, I didn't make this beautiful meal for nothing."

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Derek was slowly taking out his suitcase. He was sighing and giving her looks from out from under his eyes, "Victoria?" He started. 

"What Derek?" She started. 

"Close the door," He started. 

Victoria closed the bedroom door. 

On the outside of the door, Grace and Martin got very scared.

Derek looked at Victoria after she turned back around, "You need to take five fucking steps back," He started. 

"What do you mean, everything is fine!" 

"No, it's not!" He started. 

"Yes, it is now pack!" She demanded of him. 

"No!" He responded. 

Victoria rolled her eyes, "Okay Derek what is it?" 

"Look the only reason I say that you need to step back is because we're planning this wedding together not you both of us and you have been an asshole to me for the last two days since I proposed!" He snapped while he  

"I haven't been an asshole! You have! You were the one talking to the woman in the tuxedo place this morning!"

"YEAH TO APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR BEHAVIOR!" 

"MY BEHAVIOR WAS NOT OFF!"

"YES, IT WAS! YOU REALLY HURT THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THERE!" 

"HOW DO YOU KNOW?!"

Derek paused, "Because I saw the look on her face when you started screaming and embarrassing us in the store." 

Victoria gave Derek the evil eye, "You like her don't you." 

"I can't like somebody I just met in a store," Derek lied. 

Victoria looked at him, "You do like her." 

Derek sighed, "No I don't, I just met her in the store! Why are you so jealous of every woman I talk too?" 

"Because your mine Derek!" 

"Oh yeah, I can change that real fast!" 

 "Yeah how?" She asked him getting up into his face. 

"Gimme the ring back!" He snapped at her. 

"NO!"

"GIVE ME THE RING!"

"NO! DEREK YOU WILL MARRY ME IN THREE MONTHS TIME! YOU ARE MINE AND NO ONE ELSE! YOU ARE NOT TO SPEAK TO ANYONE BUT ME, WE ESTABLISHED THIS EARLIER!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Derek looked at her, "DON'T TREAT ME LIKE A CHILD! GIVE ME THE RING!"

"Why do you want it so bad?" 

"You asked me how I can change from being yours because you obviously don't want me to be anymore!" 

Victoria went from being super angry to crying after Derek said that. She turned away from him.  

Derek rolled his eyes, "I'm sorry I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset that's how I feel. Like you hate me and I want to plan this together but I-" Derek was about to tell Victoria the truth but all of a sudden she started screaming. 

"YOU SAID THAT I COULD PLAN THIS! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID! I THOUGHT YOU WERE HAPPY DEREK!"She screamed at him. She ran across his bedroom and slid her hands across his dresser knocking everything off of it. 

Derek backed up and away because Victoria grabbed the mirror up off the way and swng at him, several times still screaming at him. 

The next thing Derek knew he felt the mirror smash across his face and then everything went black from there.
