Falling Into Place

Chapter 12

When I found out what happened to Summer, I got mad all over again. I cared less wither Derrick was drunk or not. I grabbed a baseball bat from under the backseat, and my can of pepper stray. I confronted him. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Beating up on my best friend? That's low Derrick, even for you."

"Babe." He slurred. "Don't babe me. I'm not your babe, and I never will be." I wasn't afraid of him there, and I never will be again. He came at me to try and stop me from leaving, but I strayed his face with the pepper stray. Then, I hit him where it counts with the bat, hard. "It's over Derrick." He fell on the ground face first.

I left him there. Then, I walked away not feeling guilty about having used the stray, or the bat. Now to go to the hospital, I felt horribly guilty. After all, it was my fault Summer was there. Would she even want to see me? Some friend I am.
