Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 Scarlette's Point of View:

Zayn had left Tomus's to go home. So I was alone with Tomus. Tomus just stared at me and put his hand out to help me get up off the floor. I looked up at him and hesitated to reach out for his hand to get up. Tomus helped me off the floor. So we stood up in awkward silence. "Why do you have a gun and knives in your backpack?" I asked as I stepped away from Tomus. He didn't say a thing.

"ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!!!" I yelled at him. Tomus took a step closer to me. "Don't take another step," I said, with a few tears in my eyes. "Please don't cry," Tomus said, as he grabs my arm and pulls me close to him for a hug. My hands are on his chest and his arms are around my waist. "So you're a fucking psycho?" I asked, looking at Tomus. "When did you start killing people and why?" I asked.

"I don't want to kill people, it's not like I have a choice. I looked at Tomus confused. "So when you were new around here during middle school and we became friends you met my mother but never met my father. The reason why is that my father had been busy with his murder gang. He wanted me to be part of the gang. Ever since I was little he taught me how to kill people. I always did everything that he told me to do. I didn't want to disappoint him," Tomus said, balling up his fists.

"How often do you kill people?" I asked. "I don't know. I would take a look at a list of people that dad wanted to kill. Before I go kill his targets I take some painkillers. After I kill the targets I mark the list to clarify that they've been killed," Tomus said, calmly. I could tell that he was holding back his tears. "How come you didn't tell me about this years ago?" I asked. "I was afraid if I told you, you wouldn't want to be friends with me and you'd be afraid of me," he said, looking down at the floor.

I wasn't sure if I should be afraid of Tomus or feel sorry for him. We were in awkward silence for a few minutes. Tomus was sad and angry. I walked up to him and hugged him. I wanted to help him, but I didn't know how to. After two minutes of hugging and Tomus sobbing a little, we separated and sat on his bed. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you," Tomus said. "It's okay, I know it's hard being involved with those types of things but let's not focus on that anymore and work on our science project."

So we started on our project. It is an ecosystem project. We started out by building our 3D models of the animals and glued them down to our background. We worked on it a little more but once it got late I told Tomus that I was going to head home to grab some stuff so I could stay the night. I walked home and grabbed some clothes and my toothbrush. I told my mom that I was staying over at Tomus's place.

Once I got back to Tomus's place I took a shower and brushed my teeth. Tomus decided to put on the movie Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. It was a good movie but I fell asleep halfway through the movie.
