Everything was starting to all settle in.

"Oh my god. Oh... my god, Kage this is insane!" I said, looking back at him. Now that I'm actually looking at him, I notice he's got a busted lip and a black eye, "What happened?"

"Oh it's nothing... guards just got a little excited i guess," he said, trying to make me laugh. I grabbed his hand and flipped it over to show his knuckles were bruised with small amounts of dried blood on them.

"The whole story," Kage looked down at his hand.

"I walked in on something I shouldn't have seen and did something you told me not to."

"Kage, who did you kill?" I said, completely serious. He smirked and gently shook his head.

-Flashback-

Kage's p.o.v.

It was starting to get dark and the ward was going into its lockdown like every night. I walked through the halls leading to my room but I couldn't help from overhearing what was coming from Brandon's. It sounded like things were being thrown and slammed against the walls?

I let my curiosity get the better of me and opened the door, making sure no one was in the hallway.

I peeked inside and saw that Brandon was making out with one of the new nurses that had started working here just a few days ago. He caught sight of me and threw the poor girl on the ground.

"Hey! You startled me," He chuckled like he was glad I walked in, "You'll have to excuse Amy. She really just... gets the job done, y'know?" Brandon nudged the nurse with his foot so she would get up and she sighed in return. She ran past me, zipping up her uniform, while I stared at him in shock.

"Dude, this isn't a good idea. I know we aren't cool anymore but trust me," I said, shoving my hands into my pockets.

"Trust you? She's a nineteen-year-old student, I think ill keep her. I mean she's a good fuck but by no means is she Erika," He said while shooting me with his sadistic smile.

"Just shut the hell up," I mumbled. He reached behind me and closed the door, all while not breaking eye contact.

"Cmon, give a guy a break. It's like every guy's dream to have that tiny girl pinned down... begging," he whispered. 

Every time I encounter this dude he always finds some way to say something so disgusting and immoral that I want to throw up.

"You know... you're right when you say I like to get under your skin. I always have... that's why I screwed Erika just to see if she would scream my name instead of yours..."

"What the hell are you talking about?! You perverted freak!"

"By the way, she's such a nice kisser. That mouth must have practice if you know what I'm saying," he said, giving me a wink. I took a deep breath and looked away, reaching for the door.

"We're done here." 

"I know you want to hit me. She really got to you, huh? You won't hit me because she told you not to but that's really because she doesn't want to see you hurt the man who made her scream so loud the alarm went off while you were in solitary..." he was trying to make me snap and he wasn't going to let up until I gave him a reaction.

"Maybe I wasn't describing it well enough," he continued, getting closer, "You of all people should know how amazing it is to be hovering over such a beautiful creature. For all we know, I could be the father of that child," I clenched my fists tightly and stared at the floor to try and clear his words from my head.

"She isn't pregnant. You NEVER did that. You're so fucking delusional and you can't stand the fact that I'm finally happy," I looked up at him and shot daggers in his eyes, "The fact that you no longer have your sociopathic buddy to hang out with. You're not in love with Erika. You just hate her guts because she's the one that took me away from you. She keeps me in line and makes me think straight and you can't stand it." He frowned and snickered at me.

"you have it all figured out, don't you? I have to admit that this game isn't fun anymore. You're right, I fucking hate her. Not because she stole you away but because no one can see how psycho that bitch is! You tried to murder two people but she still wanted to be with you! I guess she's just a pathetic little bitch that likes being beaten behind closed doors!" He shouted. Those last words echoed throughout the room. 

That's it.

I snapped.

I punched him in the nose that sent him flying backward with blood pouring down his chin and neck. I only ever hit her once and I regret it every day.

"I made that mistake once... do you really think I'm stupid enough to make it again?" I said, towering over him,  the angriest I've been in a while, "You should love Erika. If it weren't for her, you'd be dead right now," I told him. The genuine fear in his eyes is something I haven't seen from him.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay? Please stop, I'll leave you and Erika alone," he spoke, his voice shaky and cracking. 

"No use in apologizing now, the damage is done. They catch me and I'm going in the Danger Ward," I reminded him that this was technically the final straw before they put me there.

When I heard the guards bust through the door, I put my hands up and stared down at Brandon. It wasn't enough that he gave up and basically begged me not to kill him. I wanted to see him dead.

The guards slammed me against the wall and put my hands behind my back. They cuffed me and pulled me into the good ol' interrogation room...
