Red

Twenty-two: I love you, - Damon.

FIRST THINGS FIRST I CHANGED A BIT OF THE ENDING OF THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER. JUST CHECK OUT THE LAST PAGE AND READ IT. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

“Is everyone okay?” Damon asked, limping towards his brother to help him off the floor. Kieran took his hand and stood up wincing.

Everyone nodded while Damon looked around the huge pile of dead men but gladly only two of Damon’s men were killed, the others were from Sawyers gang. When Sawyer died, the rest of his men that survived the chaos managed to run away from them but Damon knew they weren’t going to be any trouble to them without a leader.

“Damon, are you okay?” Red asked, walking towards him with a grimace on her face. Damon was in a very bad condition. He had broken ribs and bruises all over his body. He needed immediate medical care.

Damon nodded with a hand gripping his side. He wiped the blood that was still pouring down his nose from Sawyers punch and gave Red a small smile “It’s over”

Red nodded but did not smile back “Yeah, Damon. It’s over for us too”

Now that was a complete surprise for everyone.

“What do you mean?” Damon asked. He was as confused as everyone else.

“I mean, I don’t want to see you or hear from you again. You lied to me, Damon and I HATE liars. I’m glad everyone is okay, I really am and I’m glad you’re okay as well. I dealt with your anger, I dealt with you hating my guts and I even dealt with you not here to protect me but lying to me about something so big? I can’t tolerate that. So please, just stay away from me and my friends.” Red walked away with tears in her eyes.

“Wait- Red!” Damon called out for her but she didn’t reply, she walked out of the door with her friends following her. He couldn’t exactly follow her with his condition so he had to watch the girl who changed him walk away from him.

“Damon-,” Leo walked towards him, worried about his friend. He knew how much Red meant to him.

“Just stay away from me” Damon said and backed away. Leo nodded with a frown plastered on his face when he heard the ambulance and police sirens.

“I fucking messed up” Damon mumbled and sat down as he waited for the paramedics to help him.

Everything passed by in a blur and Damon, Kieran, and a couple of Damon’s gang members were taken to a hospital to get treated for their injuries. Red and her friends stayed with the police for questioning and they told them the whole story of how Sawyer was stalking Red and Damon. After that, everyone was sent home and Sawyers death was ruled out as self-defense which meant no jail time for Damon.

“Thank you guys for showing up” Red said to her friends as they were walking to Luke’s car.

“No problem, Little Red” Norman grinned.

“What are you so happy about?” Gina asked Norman and his grin widened “I can’t believe I had the guts to take a bullet for someone!”

“Yeah, dude. That was really brave” Luke said and Norman felt even prouder of himself.

“Oh, stop feeding his ego. Yeah, yeah, you saved Red’s life, now that is where you build a bridge and get over yourself” Gina said and Normans smile immediately deflated “You’re such a buzzkill”

“So, guys, now that this is all over, how about the kittens I want to get” Red grinned at her friends and they all laughed.

“How about we all go tomorrow after school to choose a cat for Red?” Holly said and they all nodded agreeing to her plan.
