Kaleb's Point of View

Blood was now dripping form the wound on my head which one of Frisky's goons had given me, a fresh one too, and now it was getting in my mouth, "fuck!", I cursed in my head. "I'm going to ask you again you little prick, what did you tell those people about us?", this fat assed man asked me oh so nicely as head grabbed a handful my hair and pulled my head backwards, I smirked at him and spat blood in his direction, "bite my fatty", and I was rewarded for that with a new blow to my head, blood poured more from my pre-existing wound together with the fresh one I had just received, now mixing with my hair, matting it down to my face. "Pretty boy, you're lucky the boss isn't here right now, else you'd be dead", another man who was slender said cracking his fingers as he waked my direction. My eyes were closing down now, I guess it was because of the amount of blood I had lost form taking all these blows, my eyes were closing whether I liked it or not.

Sure I was afraid to die, not because I won't get to see my parents, who I barely even saw, not that they didn't love me, it's just that they weren't there most of the time, but there was one person who was there, even when she wasn't there, Jess. I can still remember her smiles, her scent, and the memories we shared over the months we were together, and the pain that was there when we had to end it. It was the most difficult thing I had to do in my life, but it was for her safety and I couldn't jeopardize that for her even though I loved her, she was to have no part of this

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kaleb, Kaleb love wake up", I felt warms hands caressing my face, and I smelt a familiar scent, now my eyes were opening, there was someone there for sure, I knew who it was, but the light behind her face was blinding. "Can you get up?", she asked me, I nodded my head, and sat upright after a while. "Jess, what are you doing here?", "I came to see you silly, why else would I be here?", she said as she rolled her eyes, signaling that it was a stupid question I had just asked, "Come on let's go for a walk like that time from the club where we first got together", she outstretched her hands to me and smiled, I had no problem taking it, I could feel the warmth of her hands as I took ahold of it. "Why aren't you saying anything Jess, we've been walking forever, and we haven't said anything", I sated the obvious looking at her, "I don't really know what to say you see, I feel so guilty for pushing you away all these years, but now I know you did it to keep me safe, so I can't blame you", she said smiling at me.

She knew why I kept her safe which surprised me, "but how did you know I was doing it to protect you?", I asked, "that's not important Kaleb, what's important is that you did the right thing, and I'm grateful for what you did for me", she smiled at me and then I smiled back, "but, you hurt me, and for that you have to pay, you soulless bitch". I turned to her in utter shock, eyes bulging out and everything, but she was still facing forward, "what did you say?", I asked stammering, "I said, you hurt me, and for that you have to pay", and she turned to face me, her head turned first, and then her body. My eyes made its way to her chest, and her heart was missing, blood poured from it and then from her eyes, then she pushed me to the ground, and I knocked against something hard, it was a bathtub. She grabbed a fistful of my hair and started pushing my face towards the water that was inside the tub, "Jess what are you doing?!", I protested screaming and squirming out of her hold. But in this reality she was stronger, she dunked my head inside the tub for what felt like forever, my lungs were now burning with the entry of the water, she took my head out of the tub and pushed me to the floor, "get up", her voice was now distorting, sounding like a man's, she lowered herself to my level and told me to get up, her voice sounding more like a man's. She slapped me and when I looked up at her, or tried to but she just kept slapping me, the next thing I knew, I was waking up from that dream and was coming back to reality, realizing, it was the fatty who was slapping all along, telling me to get up.

"Show some respect scum, the boss is here", the fatty said once more, "you're calling me scum, so what are you", I let out a humorous laugh, and at that same time, a slap was planted across my face, it was the boss himself that did me the honors this time, I tried to look at him but the best I could do was look at him through one eyes, because the other eye had a gash over it, and even then, the other eye had blood flowing into it. "You want to play tough huh punk, well let's see how tough you are with some fingers, maybe some teeth missing", Frisky said in his grimy voice, and he grabbed my hair like the others, "do all of you like to touch and grab my hair, is it a fetish or something" I ...", this snide comment got me a punch to the gut and I doubled over coughing up blood which then turned into a laugh, "you think this a funny huh, let's see how funny you think it is in a while", Frisky spat

After taking out three of my molars and crushing the fingers on my left hand, it was like he wasn't enjoying himself because he pulled out a gun, "alright son since you don't want to tell me what I want to know we'll so if you're bullet proof like superman huh". Frisky said nudging my head with the butt of his gun, "you can kill me, but I still won't tell you a thing, all those girls you abused, those guns you sold to all those sons of bitches who used it to kill innocent people, and all those kids that die and are comatose form your parody drugs are worth something" I spat, "Yeah kid, nice speech, but I'm talking about killing your girl, what was her name again?", and he scratched his head with the butt of the gun, "Jess was it", the smile fell from my face and I was shouting no to him when he pointed the gun at me and took his shot, and might I add, the asshole was a good shot. I felt the life literally leave my body when that bullet hit me, as I laid on the floor, I knew that I was going to die, die and never see Jess again, and that was my biggest regret, and a tear slipped from my eye.
