Chapter twenty-five

"You like Mark don't you?" He inquired nonchalantly I froze for a second before responding

"Uh no? Why?" I questioned, he shrugged his shoulders

"cause a guy like him could never like you, why would he want someone who's just gonna get him dead, just like your friend Tyler" he spoke matter-of-factly, anger bubbled inside me at the mention of Tyler, how did he even know about him? I was about to say something but I stood up quickly and began walking away when I heard him stand up too

"You know it's true, don't you Ethan" he said again from behind me, I froze and felt the anger inside me bubble over, I glanced next to me where a wooden baseball bat was leaning against the fence

I grabbed it quickly and spun around where Dakota stood with a smug look on his face I took the bat in two hands and brought it up swinging it aggressively at him, connecting it with the side of his head
I breathed out a breath I didn't know I was holding as he fell to the ground, blood started dripping down his forehead

He looked up at me, fear laced his eyes as he tried to get up away from me I brought the bat up again not feeling satisfied yet, I swung again hitting him right in head, the bat cracked along the side and he fell again

Tears pricked my eyes as rage filled me again, I brought the bat up and was about to swing when someone grabbed onto it, stopping me from causing anymore damage, I let go of the bat as people began surrounding Dakota as he lay limp on the ground

Ringing in my ear was the only sound I could hear as I stumbled backwards, I brought my hands up to my face as realization pulsed through my body, the realization that I just killed a harmless boy who was just trying to be mean, who was my friend

Tears rushed down my face as a sob escaped my lips
I felt a hand on my shoulder and heard Mark's voice break through the ringing yet I couldn't make out what he said
I turned around and engulfed Mark into a hug as more tears poured down my face, he returned the hug and rubbed my back

I clawed at his shirt trying to pull him closer, I could make out small 'it's okays' from Him but I just cried harder

"I-i didn't mean to I just-" I choked out but Mark cut in

"I know I know, it's okay" his voice was soothing and i tried to focus on it

I heard people talking and others were crying, the sound of so many broken screams crushed me and more teary sobs escaped as I brought my hands up to my ears to drown out the noise, Mark put one of his hands over my cold one that was over my ear leaving the other one wrapped around me.

-                                          -                                        -

"Okay, thank you Avery" Mark spoke from the door, I buried my face into my knees and cried lightly
My voice was raw from crying and I had a headache
I heard the door close and footsteps as Mark walked to my bed, he sat down at the end of it and sighed

"Ethan...please tell me what happened" He pried with a begging tone i raised my head and looked at him with puffy eyes

"I killed him Mark" my voice cracked as more tears began trickling down my cheeks "he was my friend, I didn't even mean to I was just so mad" I explained

"What'd he do?" Mark questioned cautiously

"He started saying stuff about you and Tyler..and it just made me so mad" I explained vaguely Mark nodded not wanting to push me anymore, he crawled up to where I was and pulled me into him

I hugged him as my tears slowed Mark rubbed my back and began talking

"Avery said we can stay tonight and we're gonna talk about this tomorrow, Okay?" I just nodded my head weakly at him

"Lets get some sleep" he added pulling a blanket over us, I snuggled into him and he wrapped his arms around me, I listened to his breathing and recalled all the fun times we've had together
I pushed away all the bad thing and focused on the good ones, this was the last time we'll be together cause I'm leaving tonight.

Hours passed and I savored every last moment with Mark, after I felt it was time to go I carefully slipped out of Marks arms and quietly got my stuff together, I put all my belongings into my backpack and put on a shoe, shoving the other one into my bag for when my foot finally heals

I fastened my flashlight to my shirt, which was still Mark's flannel I hope he won't mind me taking it
I double checked I had everything and walked back over to Mark, I brushed a piece of hair out of his face and smiled

"I'm sorry" I whispered as I set the note on the table near the beds

I picked my bag up and slung it over my shoulder, opening the door I took one more look behind me with a sigh before walking out and quietly closing the door I made my way down the hallway and out the main door, I glanced around the area to find nobody around

I walked to the gate and slipped through it quietly and began walking into the town, the only sound were the crickets and an owl hooted in the distance

I continued through the town glancing at the building as I passed them and jumped when there was a yell

"Ethan!"
