Chapter 10: The right thing.
A chapter dedicated to Dave's point of view
I feel so bad. Like seriously, guilt is eating me alive. I kept lots of secrets from Maddie, my most thrust-worthy best friend. One of the biggest secret I kept from her is:
I'm Kick Ass.
That's right; I'm the person behind the dark green wetsuit and mask. I wanted to tell her a long time ago, I wanted to confine in her because I know that she always makes things seems better, but Hit Girl kept making me shut my mouth.
Not only that, all I said to her back in the hospital were untrue.
Firstly, I didn't go back to the Research Lab for my backpack, my backpack was with me all the time; I really hope she doesn't realize it. I went back to find out what triggered the alarm. I just couldn't help myself. After a year and a half being Kick Ass, I'm so used to jumping into action and set justice straight.
Secondly, the robber did not punch her; she was too good that even the robbers couldn't even lay a finger on her. Heck, she was too good that she even had to help Kick Ass. The purple rock was the one that made her went into a coma for three days. About the purple rock, that beautiful and mesmerizing rock, whatever it was, it was something not ordinary, it was almost magical. Seriously, how can a rock make a person fall into a coma? For three days straight?
Right after Maddie fainted, the security guards came and fired gunshots at the robbers but they were wearing bullet-proof vests and escaped. The guards then took the rock back to the Research lab. I guess the rock was top secret or something. I noticed the rock was not glowing as brightly as it was before Maddie touched it but I could be imagining it.
Oh yeah, not to mention, it is going to be really suspicious if I came out from that incident all perfectly fine. So right after I changed back to my normal clothes. Without wasting any time, I grabbed a piece of glass that was scattered around the floor and cut my arm. It was no doubt the most stupidest thing I ever did in my life, it was painful as hell too but I was used to that kind of pain after getting injuries often. To ward out more suspicions, I completely took off my Kick Ass uniform instead of wearing it under my normal clothes like I normally do because I know that I will be sent to the hospital. Yeah, that was how bad I cut myself, I had to be sent to the hospital and get stitches. But it was an advantage as I get to keep an eye on Maddie and observe what did the purple rock did to her.
Maddie, selfless Maddie.
She went back to look for me as Dave and she even helped me as Kick Ass to fight the robbers when I couldn't handle them. She even helped Kick Ass even though Maddie had something against Kick Ass and Hit Girl, like when we suddenly appear in her room and that incident in the warehouse.
Oh right, that incident in the warehouse.
That was Hit Girl's stupid idea and it wasn't even successful. Speaking of Hit Girl, I still couldn't forgive her for throwing the dart at Maddie and framed that Kick Ass did it, just because she secretly put a recorder under the library table that Maddie always studies and she suspected that Maddie was going to tell her best friend about our visit in her room. Not to mention, she set the fire alarm when Maddie ignored the dart. How dare she? I was fuming when she told me she was behind it. They could be talking about anything in the world!
How could I do this to Maddie? I'm the worst friend ever. I lied to her even when she was so clueless back in the hospital, I even allowed Hit Girl to make her life way harder and I just followed her absurd plans. I got fed up of hurting Maddie, so I'm standing here, in my room, my skin covered with the green spandex with the mask in my hands, debating whether what I have planned to do was considered right or not.
'Yes, it is.' I thought to myself. 'Do it for Maddie."
Without a second thought, I put on my mask and climbed out the window.
