The trouble with drugs is that no matter how much pain and misery they put you through, they become a part of you. And you will always want to go crawling back.

"ROUND THREE!" The host announced. The bell rung once more.
A blonde in a bright red swimsuit saunters around the stage with a large sign in her arms, waving it in the air. After the information registers in my mind, I immediately want to leave the crime scene before it even happens. I try to persuade Jade into taking me somewhere else but her and the other girls denied my request. I've got no other friends in this swarm of people, I'm stuck here.
Aaron looks more ferocious by the second, so there is no denying the fact that I'll witness a murder tonight. Our group moves closer to the edge of the ring, just in case something happens. The bell dings and Aaron holds no hesitation as he swings at his opponent, his breaths short and labored. Caleb puts up a good fight. He lands every punch but Aaron doesn't seem to react to them.
Soon he musters enough strength to land a hard blow to Aaron's jaw. Aaron stumbles back, and the crowd 'oohed'. Everything gets noticeably quieter.
"That's it." Meghan whispers.
In a flash, Aaron gives a bone-crushing uppercut, knocking Caleb to the ground. My heartbeat slows, and I watch the traumatizing event in slow motion. The crowd gasps and roars. Aaron steps back and taunts Caleb, "All that shít you talking, but you cain't even stand. Punk ass nígga,"
Caleb begins to crawl up, but Aaron kicks him firmly in the side. I cringe. Caleb takes a few seconds to stand and tries to jab Aaron, but Aaron drops to the floor and swings his legs around with enough force to knock the back of Caleb's legs and make them give.
Aaron crawls on top, delivering lethal blows. He brings his arm back and strikes clean and fast. I can see how enraged he is through his dark blue eyes as he continues his brutal attack. Caleb tries his best to shield his face with his boxing gloves.
"Aaron!" Matt calls, sprinting towards him, desperately trying to pull Aaron off the poor, older guy.
"Stop!" Meghan screams. "Someone stop him!"
Despite how dangerous and deadly the situation was, the people behind us are still cheering, ordering to fight to the finish. I stand, frozen in horror as I watch Aaron continue to beat the man to death. Matt tries pulling his arm, however Aaron resists. Is Aaron really going to murder someone right in front of me?
I knew he wasn't a good person, but I was too naive. When I think of someone killing, I think of what I've seen in movies; a simple gunshot or a stab. I know those are scripted and pre-calulated, but they never impacted me the way Aaron does now. Movies cover things up. This, this is the real thing. It's violent, bloody, terrifying. I don't know how someone so beautiful, so angel-like, can be this cruel, sadistic, and just heartless.
"Aaron stop!" I call out. Somehow, he recognizes my small voice over the loud crowd and looks directly at me. Small blood splatters stain his cheeks. His blue eyes, angry as they stare into mine.
