It's dark outside . For some reason Arthur dragged me along again.

Arthur stops as I turn on my flashlight. When I realize where we are. Where at the same spot becks was killed in the park .
" Why would you take me here?"
My voice was shaking as I remembered what happened to her. Leon shot her in the head. She died before we could cry about it. Before we could say goodbye to her. The messed up part: somehow Leon managed to get away. No one has seen Leon since me Arthur and ace had won the gang war.
I'm worried about ace though. No one has seen ace since becks died. It concerns me.

" Mari I brought you here because tomorrow the vigilil is being held here for all of them.....
There bodies will be taken by truck to the funeral across the street. "
" Arthur?"
Arthur stares at me for a second as I clench my fists.
" Arthur I want to ...."
" Mari don't start this suicidal shit again-"
" Arthur my life is fucked up! Don't you understand that!"
I was practically yelling at the top of my lungs. Mad that Arthur thought my suicide thought were a trick.
" I can't believe you think I would fake being suicidal!
I thought you cared about me God damnit!"
" Oh shut up mari seriously! Not everything is about you ! All you do is complain! Becks wasn't your sister she was my sister! So if anyone should be sobbing like a two year old it should be me!"
Arthur yelled back at me. Things were starting to escalate fast. The both of us arguing back and forth. Clearly upset about different things. Bottling in our feelings just for the hell of it.
Now was the time to give in: break the bottle and let those emotions out.

" Arthur blake: your the worst. Your discusting. Here I was thinking we were getting along. That our hatred was fading away.....
But now you pull a stunt like this?!"
Arthur let's out a sarcastic pity laugh at first. He glares at me his cold expression trying to intimidate me as usual.
" Mari all you care about is your self!"

" And what about you Arthur!!!"

I yelled back

" At least I at least try for a living! At least I -"

I'm so mad that suddenly I cut off Arthur's sentence. Without thinking I holler in his face.

" Your the leader God dam not me!!!
Your one job was to protect her! Protect them!! And you let them die!!!! We lost them all because of you!"

I let out a gasp. Did I just say that? Did I really just blame Arthur for there deaths......
I didn't mean it I was mad ......

Arthur backs away stunned as it begins to downpour. We both just stood there. Unable to speak after what I just said. Why did I do that.....
It's not his fault it's Leon and general 48s fault. They set this plan into motion. Arthur and I tried our hardest: we failed. But we failed together.

" Marianne.....
I'm going to make some calls tonight. Pack your bags: I'm sending you back to la. "

My heart drops as Arthur begins to walk away slowly. I'm not going back I can't.... I refuse. Its midnight: I'm technically 18 now. My birthday....
Today is my eighteenth birthday. I'm free. The contract is terminated as of now. Meaning I don't have to listen to Arthur: he is no longer my caregiver.

" I'm not going. I'm eighteen now. I don't have to do as you say-"

" Well your not coming home with me tonight if that's what you think. Have fun in the real world Marianne Carter Lynn."
Then Arthur storms off leaving me in the soaking rain. My head is throbbing as I begin to sob.
After what felt like hours of whimpering and crying I finally was spent. With no where else to go.
So I layed down on the soil under the tree . Nothing but Arthur's jacket he lended me a month ago to keep me warm.
- so I'm homeless now....
All alone-
Me and Arthur have parted ways finally. I'm free......
