Grown Enough (On Hold)

Chapter Twenty One

I've never experienced writers block for such a long duration of time. I simply didn't know how to conclude, what if I feel, is my best writing to date.

While I ponder... erase, edit and revise

Here are the final chapters of those damn Alonsso's.

Thank y'all again.

I would be just as full if I only had one reader... Thank YOU, then.

2:22am...

Luke

I sat on the cold rooftop, hearing nothing but the harsh wind blowing.

It was due to start snowing at any moment so I needed to act quickly and cautiously.

It's freezing. It's enough to give you frost bites if you ain't bundled up.

My research has led me to working this mission in an area I'm completely unfamiliar with so it's making me paranoid but I gotta trust myself.

My phone made me jump but I quickly silenced it.

Sometimes I forget the basics, too.

I pulled out my binoculars and sat for almost 30 minutes before I heard a door close behind me.

I quickly turned around to see Persetto standing right in front of me.

I cannot lie, my heart dropped.

How?

"Luke Keyes... to what do I owe the stalking?" He smiled.

He ain't give a fuck about nothing.

I can see that in his eyes.

"What? You wanna rumble with me, lil' runner boy?" He questioned.

That one image of Aubree on the ground flashed through my mind.

"Yeah, I been on your trail since I poked your boy up. I knew it was only a matter of time."

Klutz' body, his kids, his wife, they all clouded my mind.

Courtney's sinister smile crept into my mind. I know it's demon hour now.

Ima blow him outta that fucking moncler coat.

"I always heard you're not a talker. Let's see if you scream. Your boy—"

"You better kill me, too." I braced him.

All that could be heard was our feet as we began to scuffle.

We went for a while before he caught me in my eye and I stumbled back.

I felt myself almost to the edge of the roof so I grabbed onto him to prevent myself from falling back.

That's a 60 foot drop.

I held onto his jacket as I head butted him repeatedly in his face, feeling his nose shatter under the pressure.

I pulled myself to safety with his clothing but he wasted no time in slinging me by my shirt.

I felt the concrete rubbing my skin bare, making me scamper to my feet.

I lost my footing but I quickly gathered myself.

I just ain't losing here tonight.

We both breathed heavily as he came back at me.

He moved like a gotdamn animal but I stayed with him.
