The Gutter

Today was the day,and I wasn't gonna fuck it up,it was a Friday and I played at one of the coolest places on earth. My test came back negative to everything,and that was a realief,but the only thing that's been clouding my mind was how Mr.Tate held me. I snapped back into consciousness after hearing the bell,Rodney wasn't here so he must have skipped, I found myself waiting to be the last one out.

"Mr.Tate I uh play at a hangout called The Gutter,you should come and watch " I said writing down the address on his palm. "We'll see,be careful,and watch yourself,don't drink anything." He said and I rolled my eyes. "I'm not twelve sir." I said and I could see his jaw clench a little,and his eyes looked right through me, growing a bit dark. "Okay I'll be careful!" I found myself blurting out,every since that night he's been really over protective over me,and I appreciate that,but that look is going to get us into some trouble. "What?" He said his facial expression full of amusement now. "Huh?" I asked my heart dropped did I say that out loud. "What look is going to get us into trouble?" He asked a smirk playing on his lips. "I got to go!" I blurted again and rushed out the door,which was a total pussy move,little do he know I would have had him right there on his desk if he asked.

Tate

That was rude,but I have a feeling I don't have room to talk so I just grabbed and gathered my things. When the intercom came on. "Uriah can I see you in my office before you leave please?" She asked. "Sure,I'll be right there ma'am." Considering she's the boss,I couldn't just say hell no mothafucka it's my time to leave this place,so I found myself sitting across from her.

"Its come to my attention,that you stayed the night with a student while she was in the hospital two nights ago? Is this true?" She asked,Oh hell what's she gonna try and get at. "Yes,she was sexually harrassed by two men I don't know the identity of,so I helped,and took her to the hospital,and stayed with her." I said feeling cringy at the word helped. "That was very generous of you,but one of those men,died from injuries,and I was visited by detectives early today,and look." She said closing the blinds and clicking something on her computer. My heart was in my stomach,I killed someone. "I turned off all cameras and I promise you there isn't anything recording you." I was feeling a little uncomfortable now,she's talking to me as if I'm a child who doesn't know any better. "On a scale to 1-10 how bad did you beat them?" She asked me,I sat there staring at her, on a scale 1-10.. She really felt as if I was so much younger and child like. "Who says I beat them? I said I helped I didn't say I hit anyone." I answered. She sat there looking at me,curiosity in her eyes. She smiled and nodded at me,and mouthed,Good choice of words, I was confused,and a little scared. She pulled out her phone,and typed something quickly. Then mouthed Dont check it, My phone vibrated in my pocket. "Are you saying you didn't attack anyone that night,the night you helped Ms.Jude Black?" She asked. I scoffed. "They weren't attacked,they attacked an underage girl,and I witnessed it,I stopped what was happening,now any injuries they may have been caused was way out of my control and maybe they should have kept their dick in there pants." I said telling the truth,I saw white I don't even remember beating them,all I know is I saw them touching Jude and I was set on helping her and keeping her safe,because the truth is if I had to kill anyone else for her I would. "Thank you that would be all,you can leave now." She said,and I didn't hesitate to leave,but I wasn't stupid,I turned back around and ripped her jacket open,she was wired obviously. "To whoever's listening, if you felt like I killed someone why not just take me in to questioning already." I said and left,I was frightened that I killed someone but didn't feel anything.

Jude

It wasn't easy deciding what to wear
But I managed, tonight was going to be the Shit,my phone bingged I opened the text message and surprisingly it was from Mr. Tate,it read,Hey this may sound a bit weird,but I want to ride with you to, The Gutter? I think that's what you Said,but I just wanna make sure you get there safely. I was smiling like crazy,he was gonna come and watch me perform. "Okay,that's fine" I texted back and gave him my address. Cool,I'll be there at what time? He asked. "7". I replied. Crap well I better start getting ready then,see you then. He said. "OK" I said and finished getting ready.
