Teddy's POV

Hilly almost killed Barb. I kinda regretted the high five after it sunk in what happened. Hell, if anybody did that to me I would make it too far. I'm little, and people pick me out, but then Hilly defends me.

The funny thing is that, Hilly's never had a switch blade. I don't trust her with this one. She used to try and convince me to give her mine, but I used to say no just because she didn't need to go to jail.

Obviously I'm not the type of teddy that Hilly is. I'm more intimidating when it comes verbally, I'm the one good at lying, talking myself and usually Hilly out of things, negotiating and Hilly says I'm wiser. But anything else that comes along in that skill I'm usually good at. Hilly isn't the best when it comes to those things. So we balance out each other.

We were walking back up to Wolton, meaning I would have to walk back down to Scottie on my own. We started up the neighbourhood and that's when I finally spoke up.

"Hilly you do realize you could have killed her, she might be dead on the ground right now, bleeding to death" I spoke

"She deserved it, she's a bitch" Hilly scowled

"Did she?" I asked

"Don't start with your mind tricks or one of those guilt ride things" Hilly huffed

"Fine, give me the switch blade" I looked her dead in the eye and she looked away

"No" she said sliding it down her pocket

"Hilly" I kept my stare to her eyes but she just looked away

"You can have one, why can't I?" She protested

"I have one because I'm little and would be on the ground in seconds, you can kill a man with your bare hands" I crossed my arms

"It gives me a better look" Hilly said flipping it open

"No, with the blood on it that gives evidence for the murder of Barbie J. Johns, and if she sues you then you're going to jail because she'll call me and John up for witnesses" I put my hand in front of me and waited for Hilly to give the blade to me

"I'll just get my own" Hilly scowled placing the blade in my hand

"Do you know what you're doing" John questioned

"Of course I do, this wouldn't be my first" I smiled as we reached John's house

"You sure you'll be alright walking back to Scottie?" Hilly asked

"I'll catch a bus to make it faster" I shrugged

"Have fun" Hilly smiled

"You too" I chuckled

"What's the supposed to mean?" Hilly asked with her arms crossed

"Oh you know" I smirked and turned walking off.
