Shattered

Part Two: Deets

Chapter Four

Flash Back

I couldn't sleep though.

I just kept replying that last argument over and over.

"You can't go out by yourself Deets! DNA might jump you!"

"I can take care of myself Ed." She said disdainfully. "Besides, I wouldn't trust you to watch my back."

That hurt.

"But Deets. . ."

"Shut up, Ed." She said. "Shut up and leave me alone! I hate you!"

I faltered.

"You - you don't mean that."

"Yes I do! I hate you!" She pushed me backwards over the couch I was standing in front of.

She stomped away and slammed and locked her door.

That was why I could never do talk to her.

I couldn't go though that again.

I couldn't hear her say she hated me.

I just couldn't.
