Psychotic Tendencies

On the road

A jolt of excitement hit me as I neatly folded my clothes into my bag.
Something charming about Marcus made me say yes yes yes. But I honestly wanted to kill kill kill.
I'll hold it off.
If we run away then we'll be reported 'missing' after that I'll kill him and make it look like an accident. That's perfect.
I put the backpack on my back and waited out front for Marcus.

...
"Do you even know how to drive?"
"Nope it's my first time."
"Great! You're gonna fucking kill us!"
"Chill Teds I got this."
He seemed so chill...
"Hey I gotta pee let's stop."
I suggested. I just needed to get my plan together.
"Alright there's a gas station about an hour away."
"An hour? Damn where the hell are we? We just left there should be one up here."
I said as we neared it.
"No, we're recognizable so we gotta get out of town first."
That was smart of him to think like that.
"Also if we're gonna rob a gas station-"
"Wait what?!" Damn excitement.
"Yeah we gotta get the money somehow!"
"Get a job you crackie! We'll get caught!"
Doubt..That's a new emotion for me..
"I can't work I've got better things to do..And plus this'll be so much better!"

...
I unbuckled my seatbelt and headed for the door.
"Hey! Ted..When you come out act surprised ok?"
"Alright Marcus." I nodded.
...
I've gotta kill that bastard soon..maybe while he's doin-
"PUT THE KNIFE DOWN OR I'LL SHOOT YOU!"
Shouting from outside drew my curiosity out.
"What the fu-"
The store owner, a 40-50 year old women, was holding a rifle pointed right at Marcus.
"Let's calm dow-"
"MARCUS!!"
I ran over but the store owner grabbed my hand.
"Well..is this your friend?"
Marcus' eyes were filled with terror.
The rifle was now pointed to my head.
"HEY NO! LET HER GO!"
Marcus dropped his knife and started running towards me but stopped when he heard a click.
"Safety off boy..Better watch it."
I just kinda looked at him.
It was odd because most people in this situation would be scared but I was calm.
Maybe it was meant to come to this?

...
We were in this position for about ten minutes. I got bored so I mouthed to Marcus to just throw the damn knife and see what happens.
He looked like he was gonna break down.
Hey..I'll be fine just throw it.
I mouthed.
And he did...
She wasn't quick enough to notice or dodge it so it hit her right in the eye. She dropped the rifle and screamed in pain.
I picked it up.
Kill him kill him now.
I couldn't do it.
Kill someone..kill something.
I pointed it at the lady but Marcus pushed me down.
"M-Marcus? What the hell are you-?"
He just stared at me with a straight face and took my rifle.
He put it near her head and whispered something.
And fired.
He fired...
But it was only a warning shot next to her head.
We took some of the money, and his razor, and we were off.
...
"Do you know what I'd do without you?"
Marcus suddenly said.
"I'm not sure.."
He caught me off guard a bit by what he said.
I unwrapped a piece of bubblegum and popped it into my mouth.
"Back at the store...You weren't scared at all. You were..calm.."
He sighed.
"Yeah uh hey what'd you whisper to that lady anyway?"
He went silent.
And not the regular happy silence but the stiff unpleasant silence.
"I..It doesn't really..uh hey a motel! Let's stop there for the night."
It was about 10:30 and it was pitch black.
"Room for..one?"
The guy working asked.
He was about 17-18,blonde,tall,handsome.
"Uh yeah.."
Marcus slipped him the cash and he traded us for our room key.
I went to grab our stuff from the car when Marcus grabbed my hand.
"If you ever, ever try to take away the one person I love again next shot won't be a warning.."
He gave me chills when he whispered that into my ear.
"You really said that?"
I asked.
"Of course."
As I went to get the stuff he pulled out a cigarette and started smoking.
...
"Well goodnight.."
Marcus took his shirt off and tossed it on the floor.
I just now noticed his features.
Dark brown kinda curly hair, a red line on his nose from where I cut him, actual MUSCLES, and a smirk. Ugh that devilish smirk could probably melt right through someone. Even a psychopath...
...
He got in bed with me.
"Hey aren't you gonna change?"
He asked.
"Oh uh I don't know.."
He grabbed the bottom of my shirt and lifted it a bit.
I helped him take off the rest of it and just smiled.
He started lighting a cigarette then he carefully handed it to me.
"It's been a long day huh?"
"Yeah..Hey Marcus.."
"Yeah Ted?"
"When you said I was the only person you loved did you mean it?"
"Goodnight Teddy." He put out the cigarette and planted a kiss on my forehead.

...

"Goodnight Marcus"
I returned the kiss and he smirked.
