How Bad Can He Get

Chapter 18: Spring Fling Part 2

"You see a few mistakes ago I thought it would be cool to join a gang. You know be part of a group that has each others backs. I sooner joined a gang and we were one if the most successful in town."

Ethan and I both looked at each other nervously as if to say "why is this guy telling us his life story when he's about to kill us?!"

"But then are missions started getting more and more dangerous. More gun shots, more kills, more dead cold eyes." He explained distantly.

"I didn't like it but I still went along with it. Then I met Annabelle." I could see from the look in his eye that he really loved this girl. Even just by the way he said her name.

"She knows about my gang problem. I was planning on proposing to her tonight. But of course as any gentlemen would do I asked her parents first." He sighed deeply.

"They said I was a lovely man but my past was just to risky. That I needed to quit my gang before making any moves. But everybody knows that when you leave a gang you have to die." He said the word with such intensity, that I shivered as it left the tip of his lips.

"And the gang leader is coming to see me tonight and--"

"Jack!" We heard someone else call from the shadows. He came out of the obscurity and showed himself.

He was albino including his ragged goatee. He had on a permanently lopsided smirk that never seemed to fade.

"Marcus." Jack Curtis said hesitantly.

"It's been a long time hasn't it. You know I was on my third mission for the week when I heard that you quit. I heard it was for a girl." Marcus laughed but it was filled with venom.

"Oh it's a classic bad boy cleans his ways to get the approval of the parents of his girls dreams. Well Annabelle will have to have her happy ending without you."

"How do you know her name--"

"I have my ways. Now step forward Curtis." Jack took a step. "Drop the gun." Marcus warned but Curtis did everything as he said. He stepped two steps forward.

"Hmm Jack making kids do your dirty now that's an all time low."

BAM! The gun shot was heard I gasped. I looked to see Jack clutching his shoulder. Thankfully he wasnt dead and he had only got brutally shot in the shoulder.

"What do you think you're doing?" Everyone turned to me (except Curtis he was too busy bleeding). "How could you just shoot a man withou thinking twice. He did nothing wrong he was doing it for love!"

As if his smirk grew bigger the man stepped closer. "Wow you have a big mouth missy. Ha! It's funny because Jack has the same problem and look how he's about to ended up."

My face grew hot. This man was just ugh.

"You're nothing but a low-life and you need a real push of punch in the gutt to understand peoples feeling better because that was unexceptable--"

Suddenly, I was shoved against the wall. The impact of my head to wall was insane that I could hardly feel my body. But the sight of Ethan coming in front of me to defend me; well I just wouldn't dare close my eyes.

"What the f*ck do you think you're doing?!" He interjected.

Marcus suddenly had a look of annoyance. "You know what I'm tired of this 'in the name of love' stuff".

Suddenly, police sirens were heard. I never thought that the annoying screeching sound that eminated from the siren would ever bring me so much joy.

"Sh*t you're going to pay for this kid." Then he shot his gun and ran for it. It took not more then a millisecond to realize that he had shot my thigh. I yelped in pain and started tearing up. The paramedics started to surround me but I pushed them away.

"No go mend the other guy he's been bleeding for long." I insisted.

"No!" Ethan screamed while crouching down beside me. "You need to be meanded now this is all my fault."

I would've told him that it wasn't his fault an that I was glad I ended up here despite me being wounded. And that I was actually excited to here what he wanted to tell me. I would've of told him all this, but if only I didn't faint.

So guess what?! I wrote this all on my iPod so I'll probably be doing this for a little while, you know writing chapters on my iPod and stuff. It might not be so bad. Anyways some good news (finally right?!) the next update will be tomorrow. So the next chapter is going to be the whole confession and I hope it'll really clear things up. Oh and the sneak peak for my next story ("The World's Worst Wingman") will be in the last chapter of this story. Okay.

Enjoy ;)
