My Boss's Son - Chapters 11 and 12
Final Chapter! The story ends on some highs and some lows.
Chapter 11
Delaney's point of view
How did things end up like this? This guy turns up out of nowhere - I thought he had fallen from heaven or something. After two days, he kisses me - then I find out he's been plotting against me. Now, if I scream, I die. It's like some kind of movie, I never expected it to ever happen to me. Caleb once had a gun held to him, by some skater guy.
It was so weird, at that moment. All I could think about was Harry. How he's always been there for me, how he'd never let me down. Even though he was the most annoying person I had ever met in my life, there was a reason he'd always been in my life. He was my life.
Without Harry, I didn't really have a life. Even through the bad times, he had stuck by me. Like the time my mum was getting on my nerves when I was 9 - I ran away to Harry. I lived in his tree house, until tea time when his dad saw me playing video games on his playstation.
I was full on crying now, knowing that the perfect guy had been straight in front of me all this time - my best friend, the guy next door (or upstairs in this case).
"Please, just let me go." I blurted. "You're a bit pathetic, don't you think?" Derek scowled at me.
"Look, I know how you feel. But I didn't humiliate you, you humiliated yourself. Believe me, I do it all the time. I act dumb, and don't see things that are straight in front of me." He lowered down the gun. As he had the gun by his sides, I remembered something Caleb had told me.
"Yo, Del, if anyone points a gun at you, I know what to do." He said. "Only if it's a guy though."
"And what's that?" I laughed, rolling my eyes.
"If it's at the guys sides, pretend to choke, ya know, lean forwards. The guy with automatically look down your top, yeah. That's when you grab it and point it at the guy."
I thought it was ridiculous at the time, and I knew he had completely made it up. But now, his stupid advice was coming in handy. It was obvious this guy had some issues and he wasn't going to give up.
I began choking, and it really hurt my throat because I was totally faking it. This made me actually choke, and actually bend in half. I could feel him looking down my top, so I grabbed the gun, stepped away from him and held it at him. He held up his arms.
"Woah... there. What are you doing with my gun?" He mumbled.
"Getting myself out!" I replied, beginning to laugh.
Harry's point of view
"Stay here." I said to Alisha.
"No!" Snapped Alisha. "I can't let you go in there on your own."
"I need to call me the police. I know they're only across the road, but they're dealing with Chris."
"Ok." Alisha said, waiting at the top of the steps while I went down. Chris had seemed to keep this place quiet...
"Harry?" Alisha whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Be careful." She trembled.
Delaney's Point of View
My hand was shaking like mad, as I held up the gun to him. I had absolutely no intention of shooting him, but he was sure to chase me if I ran.
Suddenly, the door of the cellar place creaked open. The room was very long, so it took me a while to see who it was.
"Harry!" I shouted, absent-mindedly dropping the gun and running. He ran too, towards me and I jumped into his arms. He held me tightly as I cried onto his shoulder.
"Oh, Delaney." He gasped. "I'm so glad, you're ok!"
"Harry, Harry I love you." I rambled. "You've been right there all this time and I didn't even notice -"
He put his finger on my lip to shut me up, held me closer to him and kissed me. That was when we realized that Derek was still standing there, gun in hand again. Harry pushed me behind him to save me. Derek had anger on his face, he looked so annoyed. It wasn't that bigger deal. So what? He had been humiliated - that's what this is all about.
I heard the trigger being pulled. I gasped and covered my eyes.
"No!" I screamed

Chapter 12
Chris laid on the floor, gasping in pain. I dropped myself to the ground in emotional agony, as Derek looked open-mouthed, before running off.
"Chris!" I screamed, holding him. Harry sat down next to me. "Stay with me Chris!"
How Chris had got there, in front of me and Harry, I had no idea, but all I knew is that he was dying.
"Delaney..." he muttered. " I'm sorry. I'm...so so sorry....I needed some money."
He was taking short sharp breaths.
"Why did you do that?" I said, my tears dripping all over.
"Because... I regretted making the deal... to hurt you... I plotted against you... then ended up liking you..."
"Shhh, shhh, breath." I whispered.
"Delaney..." He said slowly. I looked at him. "Harry...loves...you..."
I looked at Harry, who nodded his head, but his eyes were sad.
"Delaney..." gasped Chris. " You...are...so...great... and strong...and -"
He closed his eyes right there.
I started crying, long whimpers, as Harry came and comforted me, as I held Chris.
Six months later
Me and Harry walked happily down Wayward Road hand in hand, straight past Louisianna's restaurant. He twirled me around so I curled into him, while we were laughing. He kissed me, making me feel dizzy.
"Well done, D. I'm so proud of you!" He whispered in my ear as we stepped to the side of the pavement to let past Mrs Carney, who scowled.
I'd just won a skateboard competition at the national skateboard championships. Now Harry was taking me to work, to the skate shop that Caleb now owns down the road from Louisianna's. I've never gone back there, I never even notice it anymore when I walked past it.
Derek Parker was arrested and ended up with a life sentence for drug dealing and murder, Alisha quit her nighttime shows and became an actress on a soap instead, which she loves. I have moved in to Harry's apartment after three months of dating, as I was fed up of living with Alisha and her new boyfriend Todd, for certain loss of sleep while listening to them at 1 o clock in the morning in their room, if you get my drift, (it was even worse when I came in from work and they were..um...together on the sofa. Oopsie!)
So things are going great now. We're all closer than ever. But I will never forget how my boss's son saved mine and Harry's life by sacrificing his own.
