trigger warning thanks

***T Y L E R***

i was walking around the corner of the building and saw a guy with dark red curly hair. not natural red hair, dark, fluorescent red hair. i had fresh blood on my arm, a blade in my pocket. i wrapped it in gauze and left the bathroom as it was.

i had a half lit cigarette in between my fingers. i was going for an after school smoke session, when i saw them.
i was in shock when i saw this poor guy being held by his throat against the brick wall. i winced at the sight of the attackers face. it was my 'friend'.. levi.

"HEY!" i ran up to them in the back ally and levi let go of the soft red haired guy. he walked up to me. i wasnt intimidated by him. he didnt scare me the least bit. i chuckled. he thought he was scary.

"hey its the big bad, edgy little boy.
how are you, tyler?" he grinned maniacally. i felt sick. i wasnt scared, but he felt so proud of himself. he had this sickening smile on his face. i was getting visibly angry.

you cant do this.
a voice echoed in my head.

yes i can.

no you cant.

stop.

youre gonna hurt yourself and him.

fuck off.

i stared at them in disbelief. he walked closer. the red haired boy stood there silently. he was scarred. he looked absolutely fucking terrified. levi walked closer. i took the cigarette to my lips and stared him down.

"what the fuck do you think
you're doing?" i said. he smiled. i removed the smoking cylinder from my lips.

"my job." he was still grinning. i wanted to punch him in the face, just to get rid of that smug little smile on his ridiculous face. i fucking hated him.

we were inches away from each other by now. i took my cigarette and pushed the end into his arm, making a soft 'pfft' noise. levi cringed.

"aw did that hurt?" i said, mockingly. he rubbed his arm.

"listen, if you go now, you wont have to worry about me. just walk away and you wont get hurt." i nodded and started to turn away. i heard the soft gasp of the red haired boy.

i heard levi's heavy footsteps on the gravel as he slowly started to walk towards the wincing boy in the corner.

"or i could-" i threw my fist at his stupid grinning fucking face.
the boy gasped.

"you okay?" i asked the guy in the corner.

of course hes not okay,

i know.

you fucking moron.

shut the fuck up.

"u-um.." i heard him mutter.

he walked over to me. he stepped over levi's unconscious body. he was visibly shaking.
