Delinquent Mari

Sunny had always had it... A little rough
He wasn't the most social of kids, in fact if it wasn't for the fact that his sister's boyfriend had a little brother he likely would have never made any friends
And of course they were great friends and all, but Mari was more than a friend
Lame as it might sound, she was easily the most important person in his life
She was always there for him
From keeping the monsters under the bed at bay to saving his life when he fell into the lake
Whenever he needed a shoulder to cry on, on a supportive voice to cheer him on, or even just someone who could give him good advice, she was there
But something happened...
Mari got older
She dyed her hair, starter wearing weird clothes, started hanging out with some new nastier friends
But the worst part is how she treated him
She got meaner
It started small at first, a "god, grow up you baby" and shove when Sunny tried to hug her
A "shut up, I'm trying to sleep" when Sunny tried asking her something in bed
A "don't you have any of your own friends!" whenever she was hanging out with her new friends at the house
It got worse though, much worse
Eventually she wasn't pushing Sunny away, she wanted him around her and her new friends
But not the way Sunny wanted
They insulted him, forced him to get him things, hit him hard while claiming they were "just goofing around"
Now it was Sunny trying to push Mari away, but Mari wouldn't let him
Even at night Sunny couldn't escape this "new Mari," they shared a room after all
One night she claimed she could make Sunny "cooler" and forced him to get a lip piercing right there, using a sewing needle and lighter
It wasn't long before Sunny was "a part of the crew," his hair dyed, piercings everywhere, "cool" clothes
He wasn't really part of it though
He was just there to do what they wanted
One day this ended with him being driven to the police station after Mari forced him to shoplift some earring for her
Of course he took the full blame for it, he knew if he ratted out anyone else for it he wouldn't be able to sleep without fear of Mari beating him
He didn't like this but he didn't have any choice
Kel now thought he was also a punk and refused to talk to him
Aubrey and her new gang considered him a "rival" and threatened to beat the shit out of him
Hero was off to collage
Basil was terrified of him
All he had anymore was Mari
No, wait
He didn't
HIS Mari, that beautiful, kind big sister who loved him, who never did anything worse than a few harmless pranks, was dead
This purple haired bitch sleeping in her bed wasn't his sister
A conviction struck him
He snuck out of the bedroom, walking over to his parents room
Slowly, quietly, he opened their door and tip toed to his father
He opened the night stand drawer, took an object out of it
Then he snuck out and walked to his room
He stood over Mari's sleeping body for a while
When she slept, without her makeup, even with the purple hair, she still looked like the Mari Sunny remembered
He'd give her one more chance, just one more
"Mari..."
She didn't stir
"Mari!" He whispered louder, shaking her shoulder
"Sunny, what the fuck, I'm trying to sle-"
Mari stopped dead the moment she realized she was staring down the muzzle of her dads pistol
"S-Sunny, what are you..."
She started crawling away from him, falling out of bed and pressing her back against the dresser
"C-come on Sunny, y-you know I was only messing around with you..."
Sunny just stood there silently, sights lined up at her head
All he wanted was anything, anything at all to indicate that HIS Mari was still in there somewhere
"J-Just put down the gun Sunny, l-let's talk about this..."
Please, anything...
"COME ON! PUT IT DOWN YOU PSYCHO!"
BANG
