Innocence In Darkness

Taking This One To The Grave

"Sure what do you wanna ask?"

"Has anyone from the gang talked to you?" He looked at me with eyes filled with hatred.

"Kinda why?" I laughed a bit trying to make the mood more friendly.

"Who?" He got more angry.

"Well it doesn't really ma-"

"I said WHO so don't try and change the subject." He instantly snapped.

"A boy called Johnny, but it was more of he was just trying to say hi." I was starting to get scared. What is making he so mad?

"That fucker is going to pay big time." He got a lighter out of his pocket to light up another cigarette.

"Wait what?" I was so confused at this moment.

"That kid is something you know both his parents are dead but we.. We took care of him raised him up, and what does he do. Back stab us." Keith walked back and forth in the room he looked like he wanted to punch the wall badly.

"Okay just calm down for a sec." By now i was really scared also I was getting really nervous. He paused then he ran out of the room and into the crowed down stairs.

"Hey johnny you little bitch. How about you come over here!" Keith yelled as went through people.

"Hey Keith whats-" before John could say anything else, Keith grabbed him by a collar and dragged him into a room. Three other guys followed us and as soon as John, Keith, and I went inside, one of the other guys locked the door behind us.

"Keith relax what's the matter with you today?" You could see the fear in John's eyes, because he knew exactly what's going to happen.

"You shut your trap fucker." Keith said then he lunched a punch at John. John dodged the punch only to get hit by the next one.

"You know I could never hurt you little brother" Johnny laughed as he spat blood.

"Well then you're digging you're own grave." Keith punched him again this time in the face.

"Hah I still remember us playing together when we were kids. Man do I miss those days. Its such a shame you changed." John didn't even bother to defend him self. The three guys from before walked forward to john then they held him down while Keith punched, and kicked him after that Keith pulled a switch blade. He made a couple of small cuts on johns body, which made Johnny scream in pain.

"Let him go!" Keith ordered.

"When I'm gone I'll miss you little kit." John joked with Keith, but Keith wasn't having it.

"Well I won't miss you. In matter of fact I'll actually be glad you're finally gone." Keith pushed john to the ground.

"Sure keep telling yourself that." John gave Keith a warm smile. Keith throw away the switch blade then he grabbed a metal pipe. He gripped the pipe tight.

"Well this is my goodbye I guess. See you in another life friend." John said his last words. Keith lifted the pipe in the air then he swung the pipe. One hit one bloody nose. Two hits John's face started turning pale. Three hits and it was all over, Johnny had passed. The other guys dragged what's now Johnny's dead body out of the the room though the back door.

I didn't make a single sound the entire time but I was shaking badly and tear after tear fall. When the guys and body left it was only me and Keith standing in an empty room that had a trial of blood.

Keith turned to face me . He was covered in some blood. He gave me a confused look, yet I didn't move muscle. Every step he took towards me I took a step back till there was no place left.

"What's wrong You know I could never hurt you right?" Keith said while his bloody bruised knuckled hand touched my face. He leaned over to plant a kiss on my forehead.

"Can I please go home." I sobbed

"Sure but it's dark so let me walk you or give a ride." He smiled at me, got the keys, grabbed my hand, and led me to the car.

The drive was long and silent. When I finally made it home I immediately got to my room, shut the door, and passed out on my bed.
