Shadows Of The Past Life

INTRO

*Narrator*: <Laughter coming from two boys. But wait, we all know that friendship is one of the best things in the world....., Yh that's before it ends you up in tragedy. Back to the story, this two boys....., let's just call them Jake and John. Today, April 2nd is Jake's birthday. John told Jake he had a surprise for him but it was in a warehouse. I know what you're thinking..., you're like, what the f**k would be surprising in a warehouse. Yh...., I'm also waiting to find out. After all, I'm just the Narrator not the Writer.😁. Back to the story,>

The two boys made their way to the warehouse and when they got there, John told Jake to wait while he gets the surprise. Jake waited patiently. Later John came back with a big bag. He placed it down and opened it.
"Tadaaa.....!" John exclaimed with his hands in the air. The bag was full with money, lots and lots of money. Jake took a step back. "How did you get that amount of money" Jake asked curiously and it was like he's kinda freaking out. "You didn't steal it did you?" Jake continued. "Well I don't know if it's stealing, but it was already stolen. I just found it" John answered. "What the hell do you mean?" Jake seems to be freaking out. "Calm down and let me explain. Remember the bank robbery from across the street last week?" John asked. "Yh..... I remember. What about it?" Jake continued. "Well, I witnessed the scene. The robbers passed right through a nearby alley to escape from the cops. While they were escaping, they dropped one of the bags. When they area was clear, I picked up the bag and hid it in this abandoned warehouse" John explained. "So I figured I'd give you part of the money as your birthday gift"John finished. Jake listen surprised and speechless "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and if it's coming from me who has no brain cells...., then you should it's really dumb" Jake said with a serious face. "But I'll take the money. Give it here" Jake requested. "Whaaaa...... for a second there I thought you'd say you won't want it" John said surprised.

"Yh I want all of it, and I won't repeat myself" Jake said pulling up a pistol and pointing it to John's head. "What are you doing Jake?" John asked confused. "I said I won't repeat myself again" Jake shouted. John pushed the bag with his leg and his hands up.

Narrator: < Now that's a plot twist >
Writer :< Shut the f**k up and continue with the story >
Narrator:< Ok ok I will. Back to the story >

"Jake please tell me this is a joke". John said. "Joke!?. Does this look like a freaking joke to you John?....... That's just like you, arrogant bastard. Do you know how hard it was for me being around you? You had it all....., the fame in school, the money, the girls, you even dated my crush and you knew I liked her. I couldn't take it anymore and decided to kill you but you luck never run out. It even showed here again, you found $500,00.00 without even trying. You thought I was your side man?..., more like I was living in your shadows. It was really hard and you didn't even notice. Being looked down upon and all the bullshit......, I've had enough." Jake said angrily. "Look Jake I'm sorry for all that is my fault. Put the gun down and let's talk about it" John said with a frightened and shaky voice. "No....! Save your sorry for your grave madafaka" Jake shot John in his stomach. John fell to his knees and groaned in pain. He coughed blood and felt ready for death. He raised his head and saw Jake pointing the gun to his head. "Goodbye..... John.....!" **pow**. John was shot in his heart and Jake turned around and left the scene with the money.

In John's Head right before the last shot.

( This is such I cruel world. Well I would have died sooner or later but, to think this is how I'd die,...... Now that I think about it, is it that I'm too kind, or I'm just stupid to be absorbed in this scam called friendship. *Laughs*. After all, this ain't the first or second time Jake betrayed me, but to think he'd go to the extent of killing me,... I think it's just because I'm so stupid. I guess no matter how good, kind and caring you are to people, you'll always be the bad guy in someone's story. About his crush,..... No, I never dated her but it's not like I tried to tell him, he'd listen. Some humans are truly heartless. If there's one thing I learnt before death was, that the worst thing about betrayal is that,..... it doesn't come from your enemies. *Laughs* and here I thought I had made sure I never had enemies. Next time, I'll remember that,..... if there'd be a next time.

Narrator: < That's was the death of John. Hey writer, why so soon?>

Writer: < Can you focus on doing your job>
