The Assassin (Dixison)

Talk

Dixie's POV

when I turned the lights on and saw her I quickly turned them off again "dixie" I heard charli say angrily. I turn them back on and see her closer and even more mad. I try holding back a laugh and I could tell Addison was too.

"do you even know what time it is?" charli asked. I looked at my phone and it read 3:35am "shit" I say and charli gave me a pointed look.  "Addison can you go upstairs I need to have a talk with my sister" charli said now shifting her gaze to Addison. "yeah" she mumbled and starting walking to the stairs. she turned and gave me a I'm sorry look and then headed up stairs.

she disappeared and then charli looked at me. she sighed and rubbed her temples. "why are you acting out so much? first we have the whole Bryce thing, then we have the scars, and now to top it off you're now trying to get in one of my best friends pants! oh and don't get me started on the many girls you've already fucked" she said furious now.

I looked down to my hands and played with my rings scared of making eye contact with her. "why are you treating me like I'm nothing to you dixie. we got so close during summer break but now I barley even see you and it's even worse because whenever you're gone so is avani. please tell me I'm over thinking all of this or else you should find somewhere else to sleep" she said now on the verge of crying.

"charli I'm sorry"I softy say now also on the verge of crying. god what is wrong with me. I never let my emotions get the best of me. "answer me dixie" "I- I don't know where to start" "lets start with the Bryce thing" she said and headed to sit on the couch.

I sat on the couch next to her and sighed. "did Addison tell you what almost happened before she came to her car the day she told you that Bryce cheated?" I asked "no, wait there's more to it" "shit wait char I shouldn't of said anything. she probably doesn't want anyone to know" I panic "dixie just tell me. I should know so I can help her" she explained and she was right but I still felt bad. 

"okay but if she gets mad at me it's your fault" I said and gave her a look. she nodded for me to continue "so the day she told you about Bryce. well I was there when they got in their fight. everyone else was gone and I don't think they knew I was still there. I heard them arguing and I could tell it was getting heated and we all know Bryce has a temper" I paused for a second "he- he tried to hit her but I was able to stop him before he could and then I hit him" I say and her whole face softens.

"why didn't she tell me" "I think she felt embarrassed and she still doesn't believe someone could do that to her" I say and her faced turned to confusion "wait but why did you hit him the other time?" she asked. "I went to confront him and tell him he's a piece of trash and he started calling her things so I punched him" 

"why do you care about her dixie?" she says annoyed now "charli no one should have to go through what she's going through right now and.. she- she makes me happy. she brings back the old me a little. she brings back the girl I was before our parents left and before Hanna left me. please don't take her away from me charli. I know she's your best friend but please promise you won't take her away" I begged as a tear slipped.

she quickly brings me into a hug "I won't but promise me one thing" she said and released me. she looked me in the eyes being serious again. "don't hurt her" she said "I won't. I promise" I smiled.

"can you tell me about the scars now?" she said causing me to put my walls back up. "charli I can't" I say and she looks down in disappointment. "I don't want to lie to you so I'll tell you eventually but I can't right now so please respect that and know that I didn't do these to myself. okay?" I said and gave her a soft smile. she nodded her head okay. "can we go to bed now?" I asked. she laughed "yes". "oh and charli I'm sorry I pushed you away so much" I say and quickly head up stairs.
