Wade Wilson was breathing hard, his chest heaving with anger, as he rapped hard on the door.
Each movement for him felt like so much effort. Enery he just didn't have. But he knew what needed to be done.
Behind the door Wade could hear movement, and after a long second, the door was tugged open by an attractive short blonde woman in her early thirties.
She was stood there in just her panties and vest and looked Wade up and down with a frown.
"Can I help you?" she said cocking her head at him.
But Wade didn't say a word, merely shoving past her into the small yet minimally decorated apartment.
"Hey!" said the woman with a cry. "You can't just barge in here!?"
But Wade's jaw was set, his eyes black and dangerous.
That was when he saw him…coming out of the bathroom door…doing up his zipper…
The dark-haired man before him paled instantly and backed up, as Wade stalked over.
The merc's insides were bubbling with anger, the likes of which, he had never felt before.
"Hey David," said Wade suddenly grabbing the man roughly and shoving him hard against the wall. "Long time no see…"
The blonde woman behind them screamed, but Wade was unrelenting.
He reached for David's throat.
"Do you remember when I fucking warned you about hurting her in any way?" said Wade in a deadly voice, his lips lingering close to David's face.
David gave a whimper, shaking his head.
"I told you that I would fucking dismember you…..you remember, hmmm?" snarled Wade, his grip tightening on the man's throat.
David gave a choked cry as Wade bashed his head against the wall.
"Hmmm?" he reiterated.
"Yes, yes, I do…" exclaimed David blubbing.
"That's funny.." uttered Wade. "Because I saw those bruises you left on her arm…fuck me…it looks like you almost want to die?"
"No, no I don't…..I didn't!…" said the dark haired man, as Wade gave him a shove into the centre of the room.
"Don't even try lying to me," growled Wade, strutting towards David coolly. He turned towards the blonde girl. "You realise he's got a girlfriend right? The most perfect fucking woman you can imagine. And he treats her like fucking shit…each and every motherfucking day…"
The blonde girl's eyes widened. She looked quickly at David.
"I-Is this true?" she said in an incredulous voice.
But David shook his head.
"No….honey…she's not… were not…."
But before he could finish, Wade had got to him, hitting him hard in the face and sending him sprawling to the ground.
"I loved her…from the minute I met her…did you realise that?" said Wade, as David gave a groan of pain, clutching at his bloodied nose. "Oh I think you fucking did, didn't you? That is why you tried your fucking hardest to keep us apart. You ground her down bit by bit and drove her to thinking that she wasn't good enough for anyone but you. And despite all this, for some reason she still reveres you like you're some sort of fucking god."
He grabbed David roughly by the collar of his shirt once more and sent another punch flying across his jaw.
"She might not want to be with me, granted, but I can sure as hell make sure she you never fucking hurt her again, do you understand me?"
David gave another whimper, holding his hand out towards the seething merc.
"Please…" he cried. "…were not…"
But Wade threw another punch at David's face, knocking the man out cold.
The blonde girl gave a cry of fright, cowering in the corner of the room, beside the sofa.
"Don't worry," said Wade in a tired voice, heaving himself towards the door, and rubbing at his bloody knuckles. "I'm done here."
And with that he stalked from the room, breathing hard.
He knew exactly what he had done and it had felt good.
But he knew the consequences of his own actions….and Missy would never forgive him for what he had just done to her boyfriend.
Right now, Wade knew that he had only one choice…
He hung his head as he left the apartment, pulling the door closed behind him with a snap.
He was a coward…..and trying to find a way out of death is just what cowards did, right?
He pulled out the little black card from his pocket.
He knew what he needed to do…
Missy ran down the street on her high-heels, her phone clutched to her ear.
"Please, please pick up…" she murmured to herself as she hurried along the darkened sidewalk.
She had been trying Wade for the last hour, but each and every time it just immediately gone through to voicemail.
She had gone to his apartment but there was no sign of him at all.
She had been such an idiot, she knew that now…
He was with Vanessa, she realised that…but tonight she just needed to confess to him how much he meant to her…how much she missed him…each and every day…
There was only one other place that Missy could think of to look for the merc…
Rounding the darkened alleyway, she ran towards the small red door, half way down the street and shoved it open, heading inside.
Sister Margaret's School for Wayward Girls, was tonight, packed full of people.
Missy pushed her way through the crowd, her eyes searching this way and that, for the merc she knew so well.
Finally reaching the bar, she stopped short of a figure she recognised.
It was Vanessa, her dark hair, now down to her elbows, stood there chatting to a bespectacled bartender in a rumpled ACDC t-shirt.
Both of them looked up suddenly as Missy appeared.
Vanessa seemed to instantly recognise her, her face breaking into a wide smile.
Missy strutted up to them, her heart pounding.
"Have you seen Wade?" she asked, turning to Vanessa. "I tried calling him but he's not answering his cell."
Vanessa rubbed her red lips together, glancing at the bartender.
"I haven't seen him in about six months," said the dark-haired woman gently. "But you said he was in here last night, right Weasel?"
Missy frowned, taking a step closer to the woman.
"Four months?" she said with a confused look. "But….but aren't the two of you dating?!"
Vanessa faltered momentarily. A slight frown appeared across her brow.
"Me and Wade?" she said giving a laugh. "Oh no, sweetie. He once paid me for a night, but we never did anything. The night you came to his apartment, remember?"
Missy blinked several times.
"But he told me-" she uttered, shaking her head and giving a long pause. "I-I don't understand…..why would he lie?"
She looked at Vanessa who merely smiled knowingly.
"You know that he's been in love with you for like two years, right?" said the bartender, piping up suddenly.
Missy turned to see that he was grinning.
"He used to come in here and pine over you," continued Weasel. "Said that he couldn't be with you, because you were already with your asshol- ….um….I mean….. your boyfriend."
Missy stared down at the ground suddenly.
All these years…
All this time…
She had been such an idiot!
Right now, she couldn't think of anyone else in the world she would rather be with, than Wade Wilson.
"Ex-boyfriend," she breathed, staring up at the pair. "T-That's why I want to find him."
Both Vanessa and Weasel looked at each other, their faces both breaking into wide smiles.
"Han and Leia forever," said Vanessa with a squeal hopping up and down on the spot excitedly.
"Fuck yeah, happy endings!" said Weasel punching the air and clapping his hands together.
Missy gaped, giving them a bewildered look, as Weasel raised his voice.
"HEY YOU… DELINQUENTS," he shouted, causing hush to fall across the bar and heads to turn towards him. "ANYONE HERE SEEN WADE? TALL, HANSOME…LOOKS LIKE A LIKE A REALLLY ROUGH-AROUND-THE-EDGES RYAN REYNOLDS…"
Everyone glanced at each other, shaking their heads and much to Missy's dismay, there came no answer.
She gave a gulp, worrying at her lip, staring up at Vanessa, as the dark-haired woman threw an arm around her shoulders.
"I'm sure he'll be fine…" she said in a comforting voice.
But Missy shook her head. "But you don't understand. He's sick and…really, really angry…" she said gripping her phone tightly in her hand. "…and I just know he's going to do something stupid…"
Weasel looked up at Vanessa and nodded. "She's right….you don't know Wade. He's a bound to do something fucking drastic. Attention-seeking asshole."
Vanessa shot him a look, giving a frown, before turning back to Missy.
"Why don't you try giving him another call…I'm sure he'll answer…" she said encouragingly.
Missy stared down at her cell, chewing at her lip.
And with her heart already breaking, and not really knowing what else to do, she lifted the phone to her ear once again…
Wade sat in the dingy 'waiting room', toying with the phone in his hands, watching as a familiar name popped up on screen yet again.
Missy…
She was sure to be calling to give him hell for beating up her boyfriend.
But Wade couldn't answer it…
He couldn't bear to hear the disappointment, the hatred that was bound to be in her tone…
"Mr Wilson…" came a sudden voice from his left.
Wade looked up to see the plain-faced recruiter walking towards him, closely followed by two grimy-looking orderlies. "I'm so glad to see that you've changed your mind and decided to join our programme after all. It's good to have you on-board."
Wade, taking one last longing look at his ringing phone, got swiftly to his feet.
He glanced up, shooting the man a charming smile, that did nothing to hide the hurt and tiredness behind his brown eyes.
"Lead the way….." said the merc, switching off his phone, one final time…sending Missy's call straight to voicemail.
A totally sad chapter…..nooooo! Why do I even write these?! Sorry if that was a bit of a rubbish filler, more to come soon though if you're still interested.
