Deranged Writer's Afterword

This can\'t be happening...

But as I watched Lecia and Max dress themselves, I realize that this wasn\'t another one of my nightmares.

This was reality and I\'m gonna kill Max.

I take a step forward with the intention of smashing his head in, but Eric holds me back probably sensing my anger.

" What....exactly is going on here ?", I say gritting my teeth against each other.

" We can expl-", Max started to speak but-

I raise my finger and \'shh\' Max and say,

" I wasn\'t talking to you."

Hearing me, Max lowers his head and fixed his gaze on the floor.

I stare intently at Lecia, while she avoided my gaze.

" Adam.....could we talk outside ?"

" Why ?", I say glaring at her.

Lecia seems confused as she answered back,

" Uh....because I\'m uncomfortable talking about this here ?"

" Well....I\'m sure it\'ll be fine if we talk here since the both of you seem very \'comfortable\' with each other."

...

An uncomfortable silence descends upon the room as Lecia and I glare at each other.

" Fine.", she says taking in a deep breath.

She glances at Max before saying,

" What do you want to know ?"

Well....that\'s pretty obvious isn\'t it ?

" When did it start ?"

" A month ago...we were training together and it just happened."

So...she\'s been lying to for a whole fucking month, that\'s just great.

" Do you love him ?", I ask, dreading the answer.

" I don\'t know...I don\'t think so....our relationship is strictly physical.", she says sounding unsure of herself.

" What ?", Max says looking hurt.

Seeing him looking so hurt gave me a slight joy, I feel relieved now.

If Lecia doesn\'t love him that means I can completely obliterate this \'relationship\' before it becomes official.

" Well....that\'s good then.", I say smirking at Max.

This wasn\'t that horrible, the both of them are at the age were they\'re curious of such things....but I\'ll make sure that this doesn\'t blossom into something serious.

" This relationship ends here.....I forbid you two from seeing each other anymore.", I say with finality.

Lecia scoffs as she says,

" You forbid me ?"

" Yes...that\'s right."

" Are you serious right now ?", Lecia asks her eyes widened in surprise.

" Do I look like I\'m joking to you ?", I retort back, glaring at her.

" I forbid the two of you from seeing each other again.", I say wanting to drive in my point into her thick skull. I know I sound like an asshole right now....but this is for her own good.

We\'re once again back to glaring at each other in full force, until Lecia surprisingly smirks at me.....I have a bad feeling.

" You know what-"

Lecia pulls Max closer to her and continues on,

" I\'m gonna see him even harder."

" What\'s that supposed to mean ?", I say frowning at how close they were to each other.

" You know what it means.", Lecia says taunting me.

Hearing her, Max has a weak smile on his face.

...

I\'m going to kill them both, but before I could say anything else Eric drags me away.

" Hey !", I say trying to push him off.

After Eric closes the door, he lets me go, he had an apologetic expression on his face.

" Why don\'t we give them some time ?"

" Nah, I\'m going back inside.", I say trying to open the door.

" Let\'s leave before you say something you\'ll regret in the future."

I stop trying to open the door, hearing Eric...maybe he\'s right.

I can\'t think clearly now and the last time I acted without thinking.....I almost killed Max.

I\'m angry with Lecia....but I don\'t want to do something that\'ll sour our relationship.

Feeling helpless, I turn around and say,

" Let\'s just go back."

The car moved quickly through the near empty streets, while Eric and I conversed about \'certain\' things.

" What do you mean, I overreacted ?.....I reacted perfectly."

" Look....all I\'m saying is that the both of them are mature enough to make their own decisions."

I roll my eyes and say,

" They\'re fucking teenagers....they\'re not ready for something like this."

Eric frowns upon hearing me,

" But aren\'t you just a teenager too and what was with all that \'forbid\' stuff ?"

" That...might have sounded strange but it was for her own good."

"How are you so sure ?", Eric asked raising his brows.

" Trust me.....Max is the worst match for Lecia.", I say rolling down the window of the car and looking outside.

Max was the protagonist and trouble often followed the protagonist like a shadow, getting closer to him meant that Lecia could get seriously hurt and I can\'t allow that....I won\'t allow that.

I\'m going to break them up.

I know exactly when to act as well....

My birthday party was shaping up to be rather interesting.
