Chapter 2
Her face lit up when I mentioned the idea of our future together. I found the idea frankly stupid but apparently she didn't. The sight of her smiling made a stupid grin spread across my face. She ran across the room and quickly came back with a blank black book.
"I got this a while ago so we could fill it with pictures of us together, but fuck it. I think we should fill it with what we plan our future to be like together. I know it sounds all sappy and shit and it could also ruin my reputation as a bad ass but who gives a fuck anyways? It'll be fun!" She hopped back onto the bed and lay on her stomach, swinging her feet in the air behind her. I smiled at the sight of her and lied down next to her.
"So what do you want in your future?" I asked in a mocking voice of a consular.
Mindy grinned, "I want to travel and kill- I mean lock up all the bad guys around the world. Wouldn't that be fun Dave? I mean just you and me, on the road, killing all the bad guys. We would be total bad asses and we could like become a legend or something! And maybe a couple years after I graduate- this year by the way- and fight for a while, we could like have a family together. Train our kids to be bad asses like us!"
"Where would the first place we would travel to be? I mean I'd go anywhere as long as I was with you," I said, with a dorky grin on my face. Mindy rolled her eyes, but I noticed her grin did get bigger.
She shoved me playfully, "Don't go all Twilight on me Dave. I will seriously cut off your dick if you turn into Edward."
I smiled and pulled out her laptop and we began our quest for places we would visit. I printed out a map and a bunch of paper red thumbtacks. We glued the map to the book and placed the red thumbtacks on the places we planned to visit.
I liked this Mindy, the one that I could sit down with and flirt with her without her shooting me in the balls with an AK 47. It felt kind of normal when she was like this. But I also felt like it wasn't really her. I think this Mindy scared me more than the violent Mindy. I felt like this one would go mentally insane within seconds. It just didn't feel like her. Of course I didn't tell her this. I didn't want her to change for me and I loved the fact that I was the only one who would ever get to see this side of her.
"Mindy?" I said, still terrified with the idea of me saying what I was about to say to her.
"Hmmm?" She muttered, not looking up from the map.
"Can you like not shoot me if I said that I love you?" I asked, beginning to shake in fear that she would cut me.
"You what?" She asked, looking at me with her big green eyes. Her expression was emotionless but told me that if I looked away, she would shoot me.
"…Nevermind, it was sappy and stupid anyways," I muttered, looking away.
"No, Dave, come on, tell me. Don't be a pussy."
When I refused to acknowledge her, she took the laptop and book from my view and set them on the floor. Then she took me completely off guard by flipping me over so that my head was on the pillow and I was on my back. She had her arm pushing down on my neck and her legs were wrapped around my torso. "So tell me Dave, what were you saying?" she said in a sweet innocent little girl voice.
I took a deep breath. "Mindy McCready I love you."
. . .
I swing my feet off of the edge of the roof. Not just any roof; the roof. One of the first places I met Mindy. I blink back tears as I stare at the purple wig and costume that lies limply in my hands. It makes me pissed off that I'm crying. Mindy would kick my ass if she knew I was crying. But I miss her, the wimpier part of me argues.
Oh shut up cunt, the part that Mindy trained me to be screams in my head.
. . .
When I get back home I swear under my breath as I see my dad talking to the police. One of the officers- that I recognize as Mindy's guardian Marcus –walks over to me, an angry look on his tear streaked face.
When he reaches me he swings at me. "What the fuck!? How could you! I trusted you to protect my little girl! And what do you do? You kill her! My Mindy! You killed MY LITTLE GIRL YOU BASTARD!" Tears flow down Marcus's face as he collapses to the ground. I awkwardly pat him on the back for a second before he yells something about not touching him.
Another officer rolls his eyes when he sees Marcus on the ground. Instead of making sure that Marcus is okay, he comes up behind me and puts the cold hard handcuffs around my wrists.
"Dave Lizewski; you are being arrested so we can interrogate you about the murder of Mindy McCready. As of now you are our biggest suspect," the officer says, his voice emotionless.
(A/N: Okay so did you guys like the flashback with Mindy at the beginning or no? I think I might start adding a flashback if you guys like them so... yeah let me know if you do or not. Anyways... Should I continue this story? Do you guys like it? Let me know what you guys think please ! This is my first Kick Ass fic so I'm not really sure...)
