It took everything Derek had not to lay Arthur out right then and there for doing something so scummy. The nerd knew his sister had a difficulty she was forced to live with, and yet he took full advantage of that when he went on that little tirade of his. How could he do that to probably the only person in the world that actually gave a rat's ass about him.
Derek wanted an explanation. He wanted to see how the nerd would try justifying his actions here tonight. Arthur meanwhile said nothing at all. He just stared off into space where Bethany had been before running off. The look on her face, the betrayal, the hurt, and her tears. He did that. He'd hurt her just like everyone else.
He walked through the mostly quiet night to where his sister had dropped her rabbit and the shrink ray. He crouched down to look at her prize with a deep frown on his face as the image of his sister replayed over and over again in his mind. He never meant to hurt her. He would never purposefully try to hurt her. He was just...
He then saw the shrink ray he'd been carrying around since he decided to spy on his sister's date. It all started with that damn thing didn't it. He slowly reached out towards it and gripped it in his hand. He just stared at it like he did the rabbit in silence. It all started with this damn shrink ray. God, he felt like shit. How could he hurt Bethany like that? All because of a stupid jock! He closed his eyes and bit his bottom lip.
Derek had had enough of the silence and walked up to the geek before roughly snatched the device from his hand. He didn't try to fight him or even say anything back. He didn't even acknowledge that that his hand and fingers hurt now. His only thoughts were on what transpired not even five minutes ago.
"And you say that I'm an asshole." Derek whispered. Arthur still didn't acknowledge him, but he knew he was listening regardless. He wanted to say something else but didn't have much more time to waste on him. He had to go find Bethany. He glared at the redhead one more time before taking off in his date's direction.
Arthur was all alone now under the starry night sky. He gripped the stuffed rabbit and held it close as hot tears began to sting his eyes. He never meant to hurt Beth. He never meant to...
"And you say that I'm an asshole."
Derek was right. He was an asshole. The tears finally fell as the sounds of the carnival in the background became little more than white noise. He fucked up. He fucked up bad and he didn't know how to fix it, or even if he even could fix it.
"I'm sorry." he cried. "I'm so, so sorry!"
