Savage - Phanfic

Chapter Three

Dan Howell

I watched the boy go away. Run away. I didn't feel pity anymore. I used to feel that way, but I realized that I shouldn't.

As I kept walking, I came to a realization that I never knew how much people I hurt. That's why I tried to stay away from all of them, but it just keeps continuing to haunt me.

I sat down at a corner and pulled up my phone. I practically grew up in this town. Before it was old and rusty as it is now, it used to be a beautiful neighborhood. Everyone would greet each other, and they tended their gardens well. The town was well maintained. I lived here with my parents in a house, not too shabby.

But before I knew it, people started robbing the houses. Reports of robbery were mentioned, and people started to leave. There were gangs forming, and they'd walk around the streets harassing people. I never thought I'd end up like them.
As a kid, I was frightened when this happened. Until I met two girls named Scarlett and Allie. For sure, they changed me drastically.

First I thought this was the way to escape my feelings, but it didn't do any good. I was basically brainwashed by what Scarlett would say. We would end up being another gang. We were young teenagers back then.
I didn't know that we would grow into more people. There was Jesse, Des, Sasha, and Andrea who joined later. Scarlett, Allie, and I knew each other for almost 8 years. We were still a gang.

My phone dropped as I thought about the memories we had. I grabbed it and pulled up the text messages. I started to text Scarlett about what happened previously.

D: There's a new boy in town
S: Really.. Interesting. Info?
D: Well, i sorta caught his name. I think it was Phil?
S: Phil. Im coming over. Prepare for more info haha nosy me lol.. Anyway see u.
D: K, ill be there.

I put my phone in my pocket and ran to my flat. If I told Scarlett something, she would immediately ask to come over. As I walked up the stairs I kept thinking about how much I hated my flat. I never ever wanted to live here if I was a kid. It would be lonely in my room, I had no room mates. I always wanted to move out of here and attend a better university. But I had to travel to it, because it was far from my area.
