Story

It was after both church services and Tommy, Dill, Lil, Susie, Kimmy, Chuckie, and Phil where all in the tree house sitting in a semi-circle.

"So, I wanted to tell all of you about something going on with Ang." Susie said, instantly catching the whole group's attention. Well, everyone but Phil, who was only sorta listening.

"Everyone remember Darrel? Yes? Well, he has been hitting Angelica." Susie said as she leaned back on the wall, "She showed me the bruises on her arms."

It was dead silent then Dill asked in a angry voice, "Why would he hit Angelica? Sure, she is kinda cranky sometimes...but why would someone want to hit her?"

"I say we go over and cream him." Tommy said with the same anger as Dill.

Phil listened to everyone and commented, "I am sure I could beat his head off of something hard, but I am not sure if that is legal."

Chuckie asked, "How can we keep Angelica safe?" He looked worried, "What if Darrel does something worse to her? She would never tell us."

Kimmy had covered her mouth and appeared horrified then angry, "We should all gang up on him and beat the living tar out of him."

Lil waved her arm around enthusiastically, "I am with Kimmy on this one!"

Susie listened and waited until all of them where silent, "I think Tommy, Dill, and Chuckie should confront him about it. I will talk to Angelica about having someone with her all the time. That way Darrel can't hit her or get to her without any of us knowing. That would mean that myself, Kimmy, or Lil will have to be spending the night 24/7 at Angelica's house. And guys, this means you will have to walk her home, ride in the car with her, go to the mall with her. Literally everywhere." She received a text and read it, "Angelica is on her way over, she broke up with Darrel today."

Around 10 minutes later Angelica climbed up and then plopped herself next to Susie, being quieter then usual. Susie asked, "How did it go, Angelica?"

Angelica shrugged, "I guess it went alright. He hit me...oh. These guys know this, right?"

Susie nodded with concern etched on her face, "Yeah, they know."

Chuckie asked with a hurt voice, "Why didn't you tell us, Angie?"

Angelica snapped, "Don't call me Angie, Finster. And I didn't tell anyone cause I was afraid of Darrel. And I didn't want any of you people in jail, even if I could see Phil in a jail cell."

"Should I be insulted?" Phil asked, tilting his head from side to side.

Chuckie nodded once then started to climb down the ladder, "Come on Tommy, Dill, we have a jerk to talk to."

Tommy climbed down then Dill turned and addressed the group, "If I don't make it out alive, make sure to have roses and nice place cards at my funeral." Tommy pulled his brother down with him and then they where on their way to Darrel's house.

Dill knocked on the door and thought, I wonder why they always want me to be the scape goat. Darrel opened the door and looked at Dill, "What do you want, pickles?"

Dill tried his best to tune out his mind, "We are here to talk about the way you are treating my cousin, Angelica."

Darrel's glared at Dill and crossed his arms over his chest, "Yeah, I have hit Angelica. What are you going to do about it?"

Dill hid behind Tommy and squeaked, "He is gonna beat you up."

Darrel walked towards Tommy, "Yeah? Hit me then."

Tommy glanced at Chuckie then punched Darrel in the gut, kicked him where it hurt, then kicked him behind the knees, making him fall.

Dill jumped on Darrel's back, keeping him down, "Stay down, punk."

Chuckie said in a dark voice to Darrel, "Let me make this very clear, if you ever touch Angelica again, we will all come after you, we will let Phil knock your skull in, and we will let Kimmy rip you to pieces and burn whats left."

Dill gave Chuckie a goofy grin, "I had no idea you could be so violent."

Darrel glared right back at Chuckie, "You haven't even done anything to me, Finster. You let Tommy and Dill do it for you."

Chuckie crossed his arms over his chest, "You don't want to cross me or Kimmy at this point."

Darrel snorted and commented to Dill, "You are still a freak."

Dill raises an eyebrow and returns a comment, "And you seem to have forgotten who has you pinned. I could do any number of things to you. Bite you, eat you, tear out your eyeballs and eat them, rip out your hair, remove your fingernails. You are the special stupid, I like special stupid, they are easy to destroy."
