Epilogue/Chapter 7

Sometime after the big fight and big revenge, things just got a little better for me and I started to feel a little better about myself than I had before.

It may have been a major dick move to do a double-team on Carl but he faced major humiliation after getting wailed on by Mindy. Of course, she was kind of my secret weapon if you think about it.

The porn site was my weapon at getting back at both Katie and Carl, but since I was under the belief that Carl was ready to fuck me up one more time, I initially wanted to do this myself, but I also wanted Mindy to back me up, and she did.

The whole school basically thought it was a major humiliation towards that fucker. While a lot of people watched Carl beat me up, most were amazed at the fact that I took that punishment like a man, but then again, very few people know about the metal plates inside my head.

But the beating he took from Mindy, there is no denying that shocked the hell out of everyone, the whole school, Katie, Katie's friends, even my own friends. But I was one who actually knew about her fighting ability, especially after seeing her kill an entire mob, as well as beat up two bullies.

Carl ended up going to the hospital after the fight. Katie went with him to tend to him, only for his "ex" to be there as well. I heard that the two girls had a confrontation with each other and then both faced Carl with a lot of disgust. Now, whether or not his "ex" really is someone he has known for years, it seemed like kind of sleazy for him to instantly go after another girl and let her suck his dick. Though sending the link to his "ex" really proved that he really was a cheater and she was pissed at the sight of it.

So basically a week later, I suddenly had the confidence to walk around school with the same swagger that I had when Kick-Ass first became popular.

Everyone basically started treating me with a little more respect than before.

I went to class and sat in my chair while reading a copy of Black Widow and in walks Katie, she glanced over at me, but this time with no evil eye or anything like that. Could I be surprised or is this some kind of trick?

Now I know what you might be thinking. Could this be my shot at Katie Deauxma once and for all? I don't know if I should care or not. After all, I am the reason she hated me, but then again, what the hell was it that I liked about her in the first place, apart from the fact that I wanted to fuck her?

Lunchtime came, me and the boys hung out. We had gotten a few of the comics that had came in and we discussed the hell out of them for a few days now. I look up and see Katie and her friends coming in our direction.

"Hey, Dave," said Marty, a little surprised and getting my attention. "Looks like someone wants to talk to you."

"Well, I'll be damned." I said, and then I put down my copy of The Avengers and I am not in the slightest bit happy to see her. "Looks like I have some explaining to do."

"Hey, Dave," said Katie, with her friends Abigail and Erika right on either side of her. "May I have a word with you?"

"If you want to talk Katie," I said, after closing my Avengers comic. "I really don't have much to say to you."

"Well, I do have some things to say to you," said Katie, a little more calm than that one time. "Erika, Abigail, I want to talk to Dave alone."

I did the same in the process.

"Marty, Todd, Shane," I said. "I'll catch up with you guys later."

Basically Katie and I went to the hallway to talk, but I wasn't in the slightest bit pleased to even talk to her, but just to clear shit up, it was worth a try.

"Dave," said Katie, a little nervously. "I just want to say a few things and I want to know a few things."

"Tell me, and what do you want to know?" I said, while standing right next to a locker.

"I just want to say that I am sorry for sending you those pictures and videos," said Katie, even though she doesn't really seem sorry. "But why did you do all that stuff when it was you who basically deserved what you were getting?"

"First of all," I said. "I know I was wrong for pretending to be gay just so that I could close to you. And I really should not have said that I made it up but rather that I just played along with it."

I had to tell her a few things that maybe she didn't remember.

"But tell me this, Katie," I said. "What made you think I was gay in the first place? I still remember you telling me to fuck off and quit staring you, when I hung out outside that tennis club. Did you honestly forget about that?"

"Actually, I did." Said Katie, a little embarrassed to hear that, because it was true. "I heard all the rumors that you got mugged, especially with you ending up naked. I thought that you were pimping yourself."

"So admit it, you actually fell for those rumors?" I asked.

"Yes, I did." Said Katie, still a little embarrassed. "But I have to thank you, though."

"For what?" I said, a little confused.

"For showing me that Carl was a liar and cheater." Said Katie.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Did she just call Carl a liar? Shit, I was called a liar for pretending to be gay. Is there a sudden change of heart?

"What are you trying to tell me?" I asked.

"I was wondering if you would want to go out with me sometime." Said Katie.

Un-fucking-believable. This girl is initiating a move on me. But there is a different side to this.

"No." I said.

"What?" said Katie, a little shocked to hear that.

"I just figured that after what had happened, you just don't do it for me anymore." I said.

"What do you mean?" Katie asked.

"You actually think that I'd want to date you after how you treated me?" I asked. "Do you honestly think that you, yourself, would want to date me after what I had done, as well as did recently?"

"Well…" Katie said, while looking away and being all nervous.

"Well what?" I asked.

"I thought maybe this is what you wanted." Said Katie.

"Forget it." I said. "It doesn't matter anymore. I realized what kind of person you really are. You're a shallow bitch. You thought that I was gay and you probably thought that every girl needs a gay best friend. I know I am not much to look at, but I am certain that there are girls out there who would like me for me, not because of how I looked."

Katie was a little surprised to hear that, considering how I have been in love with her for this long, but she didn't expect to hear this. I wasn't sure if I was expecting her to trick me or what, but if I accepted, it wouldn't surprise me if she did.

"By the way, did you actually believe Carl's bullshit when he told you that the girl was someone he grew up with?" I asked, simply out of curiosity. "How on earth did you believe his bullshit when you heard the entire conversation in that conversation I recorded?

"Yes and no." Katie said. "I remember him telling me that some old family friend was coming up, but he never said it was a girlfriend or anything like that. She knew nothing about me, either. Also, I didn't believe him completely, I just went along with it, so that I could talk to him more about it later. There is one thing I want to ask you, though."

"What is that?" I responded.

"That little girl," said Katie. "Who was she? Where did she learn to fight like that?"

"Trust me, it's a long story." I said.

Overall, this is probably the first time that I've had a conversation with Katie when no fronts are put up, but then again, I am not trusting her.

She tried to ask me out and for the first time in my life, I decided to decline. I figured that I could do so much better than her. It doesn't matter anymore. It was mostly a physical thing with her and I decided that I could do a lot better than her. Besides, I remember seeing this cute girl at the comic book store. She seems to come in often nowadays. Maybe I should go talk to her next time I see her.

Anyway, lunchtime was almost over and I decided to meet up with my friends before we decided to head to class. After school, I might go to the comic book store to go see if that girl is there.

The school day had finally ended. I looked over where Katie was and what I saw was more surprising than ever.

I saw a guy trying to talk to her but he looked really familiar. A skinny guy with a spiky collar around his neck. He looked Italian, too. I took a closer look and thought "No, it could not be".

"What's wrong, Dave?" said Todd. "I thought the whole Katie thing was settled."

"Right." I said, though I was still shocked and confused.

I took a closer look and heard a name mentioned.

"Hey, my name is Chris." Said the guy.

"Hi, I'm Katie." Said Katie, with a smile on her face.

This can't be fucking happening. I know that I should get over it after this whole issue, but I don't trust that fucker one bit. Maybe I am not over Katie completely. I mean I don't want to date her, but she definitely deserves a lot better than that asshole. The same asshole who held me at gunpoint, said that he jacked off to seeing me in pain, who enjoyed seeing my balls get shock at high voltage.

This can't fucking happen. I should not let it.

Author's Commentary: I hope that you enjoyed this story. This was basically something that I thought of after reading and thinking that Dave needed some closure with the Katie deal, especially how it ended in the comic. I read the first issue of "Kick-Ass 2" recently and liked how Millar decided to show how Dave's life had been and how he wasn't over Katie, but this was done in how I felt it should have been done. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this. I enjoyed writing it. Peace.
