In Love With A Cereal Killer [Book 1] (On Hold)

~Chapter 40 Delirious' Birthday

(This is happening on Delirious' birthday)

Delirious POV

I just stared at the ceiling, listening to the demonic voice in my head. Every nightmare I have, makes my world around me worse. It's slowly draining the last bit of my sanity I have left. I'm already crazy enough as it is, I can barely even stop myself from dropping the knife.

So if I lose it and Delirious is in full control, will they even be able to stop me, I thought. Will I be to far into the madness to go back, I asks myself. It was then I heard a knock at the front door downstairs. I sigh, carefully climbing out of bed so not to wake up the little wolf that layed asleep. I tipped toed downstairs and made my way to the front door.

I slowly turned the door knob, revealing a happy Luke with a small box in his hands. "Oh..hey Luke, what are you doing here" I questioned, not at all excepting him. "Don't you remember what day it is, Jon" Luke asked holding up the box in his hand.

I just stared at him confused on what he meant. "It your birthday ya dimwit" he joked with a chuckle. "Oh" I exclaimed, totally forgetting what day it was. "Come on, how could you forget the most important day of the year" Luke asked in disbelief. "I'm sorry....I just..have alot of things on my mind lately" I apologized to him.

He chuckled, "their is no reason to apologize, this is your day after all, we all have been stress out lately....especially with the whole David not remembering anything situation" he admitted putting a hand on my shoulder, giving me a smile.

I smiled back, "so, what's in the box" I asked pointing at it. He chuckled, "that for you to find out" he stated handing me the small box. I inspected the box before finally opening it an pecked inside.

Inside the box was half of a heart that had some letter on it but the other half of the heart was missing. "Where's the other half of the heart" I asked turning to Luke to see him holding the other half of the heart up.

He grabbed the other half and put them together, completing the sentence. "Partners in crime" I read out loud, "so we never lose each other again....I love you as if your were my brother...and I don't want to lose you......never again" he whispered the last part, hugging me tightly.

I hugged back and we stood there for a long time before we let go of each other. "Thank you, Luke" I muttered quietly and he grinned. "That not all, look behind your side of the heart" he instructed giving me my half of the necklace.

Engraved on the back was a D, D for Delirious, I thought smiling as I put it on. Luke showed me the back of his necklace and instead of a D engraved into it. It was a C, C for Cartoonz, I thought again. "You and I, we're going placing, do things we never have done before.....and if we're lucky, we may convince the guys to come with us on our little journey" Cartoonz told me, I grinning at the thought but then frowned. "I don't want to drag them into our messed up life, Cartoonz....as much as I would love to do all the illegal things we did in our past again...I want them to have a normal life.....where gangs aren't messing with them or even close to killing us all" I replied in sad tone.

Cartoonz just smiled as my eyes went to the floor. He picked up my chinso I would be forced to look at him. "Del, I'm not friends with them for no reason...heck, I could barely make friends because I was that kid..that had a short temper that could snap in any second.." he started but I soon cut him off. "And that's my fault, your that way" I muttered, "JON" Cartoonz exclaimed out of nowhere, making me jump a little. "You didn't let me finish...even if I never meant you, I would have still been that way....and I'm glad that I met you..because if I didn't, I wouldn't be here and I would be on the street starving to death...not being able to trust anyone I met........the only reason..I trusted you, was because I know how it felt losing someone.....I lost my whole family in a blink of an eye, Jon.." he paused, taking a breather. "I lost them and then I found you...the brother I never had...and the brother I swore to protect no matter what the cost was...you were all I had left and I didn't want anything to happen to you" he said, he sniffed and I could see that he was on the edge of tears.
