Mikey's POV

"It's been a while, I think we should all go looking for them." Ray suggested, standing and heading to the door. I could tell that he was gonna go whether or not any else was. He wanted to find his sister. Sometimes I think Autumn is the most important part of his life. Before she came, Ray lived alone in his apartment. All alone, no one to talk to if he was bored or upset. If he lost Autumn, I think he would fall apart. It wouldn't be pretty.

"I'm coming!" I yelled after him, hopping off the couch and running after him. As soon as I got to his side, he smiled weakly and stepped out the door with me close behind.

"Ray? Why does Bert hate me?" I asked before I could stop myself. He chuckled a little.

"It's pretty obvious. He doesn't hate you, he's just jealous. He's known Autumn for a long time, and she is all he has. From what Autumn tells me, he's failing school, his parents suck, and everyone hates him. Except for Autumn." He explained, kicking a rock as we walked. Jealous? I guess it makes sense...

"Ok." I whispered, not sure of what else to say. I could definitely relate to Bert, I mean, a lot of people hate me, my parents are almost always gone, even on Christmas. Out drinking, probably. I'm not failing school, though.

We kept walking till we reached the park, walking through the big iron gates and into a field.

"Let's split up, ok? You go that way." Ray ordered, walking away from me quickly. I nodded and walked the opposite way, searching for any sign of them. Suddenly, just a few meters away, lay a pool of blood. In it sat Bert's unmoving body with Autumn fast asleep on top. What the fuck...

I ran towards them, as fast as my feet would take me, I realized what had happened. Bert was dead. Very dead. Autumn was crying in her sleep, curled up next to the body with her thin arms wrapped around his chest. She wouldn't have killed him, obviously. So who did?

"Ray! They're over here!" I shouted, unsure of what else I could say. Ray was at my side very quickly, panting and sweaty. He immediately gasped when he saw the sight in front of him.

"Oh my God." He breathed, squatting down beside the bodies. He stared at them for a long time.

"I'll call 9-1-1, you get Autumn home, ok?" He whispered, pulling out his phone. I picked up my girlfriend and carried her bridal style. She was soaked in Bert's blood, but I didn't care. I just wanted to take her away from the pain she was feeling. I carried all the way home, only stopping every ten minutes to kiss her cheek. When we walked in, everyone ran from the living room to see us. They all grasped when they saw Autumn's body soaked in blood.

"Shh, guys she's sleeping." I hissed, taking her up to my room. I decided to put some clean clothes on her, taking off her shoes off and yanking her tight jeans down. Along her legs were a collection of old scars running from her ankles up to her hips. I put a pair of my oversized sweatpants on her, trying my hardest not to wake her. I then pulled off her hoodie, followed by her tshirt. She really does have beautiful body, i noticed. I pulled my Anthrax shirt over her head and gently slipped her arms through the sleeves. There. Finished.
