It had been about 6 weeks since India's incident and things in the block had been calm. Although mine and Pest's relationship hadn't been going as good as I'd planned. Since my sister was attacked and he hadn't told me who hurt her, I'd been a bit pissed with him. And in turn he got mad with me, claiming that he didn't wanna upset me and that's why he didn't tell me who attacked her. I thought it was complete bollox and actually told him that. Even though we weren't doing good, my sister and Dennis were better than ever. He'd apparently been more affectionate to her since the incident, and she was enjoying it more than ever.
"You need to let it go!" Pest shouted chasing me down the hall. I was still in a pissed off mood with him about the while 'India' thing, and even thought I should have let it go I couldn't. For all I knew the next person to get jumped because of them would be me, and I could die from going out with him...in short I was scared shitless and now walked around fearing for my life.
"I can't! Okay, I just can't" I exclaimed pulling out the keys to my front door. My parents weren't home today, thank god. They were both working till late and even though it was 10:30 at night I knew they wouldn't be home for hours.
"Why not? It wasn't my fault and it weren't Dennis's either" he said angrily. I sighed and opened the door before walking in. I knew he would follow, he always did.
"Actually it was, you boys got some stupid gang war going on and it's dangerous for me and India" I pointed out dumping my school bag onto the counter. After we got out we'd both gone straight to his flat, and I hadn't been home since.
"This war has been goin' on for ages, love! It ain't our fault your sister got jumped. Do we feel bad about it? Fuck yeah and I don' need you remindin' me about it every fucking day" he exclaimed slamming the front door and coming into the living room. I shook my head in disbelief and fell down onto the sofa.
"You need to chill out Tex! It's all calm now, so stop bringing shit up" he said taking off his jacket and throwing it on the coffee table. I rolled my eyes and pulled my legs up, shuffling down and resting my head on the arm of the sofa. The only thing that could be heard was the cars outside, it was pretty awkward right now.
A few minutes after we'd become silent a faint moaning sound was heard. My eyes widened as I realised it was coming from my bedroom, I knew exactly who was creating those noises. I suddenly heard a snorting sound and I looked to see Pest hiding his mouth with his thin jacket, he was laughing. I smiled biting down on my lip hoping to keep quiet. But as the noises got louder our laughter was harder to contain.
"He's a loud one" Pest remarked chuckling. I nodded and sighed.
"We've been fighting for weeks" I pointed out in thought. I turned my head to see him nod.
"I know, what should we do?" he asked turning his body to face me. I shrugged.
"I don't know. I think we should..." I paused and took a deep breath. I didn't want to do what I was about to do, but it was for the best.
"Nah, are you finishing me or somethin'?" he asked in disbelief. I nodded.
"Yeah I am" I confirmed in a quiet voice. He was quiet for a few seconds before he finally jumped up to his feet.
"Fuck, nah Tex we can make this work we just gotta stop fighting init?" he asked standing in front of me. I shook my head.
"I don't think so Pest. I hate walking around the block feeling scared as fuck" I exclaimed shaking my head.
"You scared of me? Or gettin' jumped?" he asked angrily. I shrugged.
"I don't know. But we're finished Pest, don't make this hard just take it" I replied shaking my head. He scoffed.
"You're breaking up wiv me? Over nothin'?" he asked his voice getting louder. I sighed and nodded.
"Yeah, I think you should go" I replied shakily. My hands wouldn't stop shaking. I wasn't sure if I was upset, or scared that he would actually hit me.
"Fuckin' hell Tex! Fine if that's what you want" he exclaimed pulling his jacket back on. I rubbed my forehead stressfully and averted my eyes "You'll want me back though, I swear down you will! Later Tex" he said before storming out, slamming my front door in the process. I sighed and turned on the TV, I would not stress over this...even though I already regretted my decision.
