Lost Between Shadows

chapter 2

Jc's POV

"Hey, Juan Carlos. Are you busy? I need you to do me a favor." I say, in curiosity.

"Waddup Justin! No, I'm not busy guey. Why? Where you at?" Juan Carlos responds.

"I'm right here at the corner of my house, do you mind picking me up? I got into stuff with the guys at home and I really don't want to be anywhere near here. "

"Alright yeah, forsure doug I'll pass by in like 10 minutes. I'll see you right now." he replies.

"Thanks haha, bye."

I hang up the phone and put it in my pocket.

I wait a couple minutes and sit on the edge of the sidewalk, while I'm waiting I check my twitter. Still full of hate and a mixture of good tweets in there.

Sooner or later Juan Carlos pulls up in his red Mustang. He reaches to his right and unlocks the passenger door as I put my phone in my pocket and climb in.

"So, what happened with you and your carnales?" He asks.

"I don't really want to talk about it. I wanna think about something else.."

"Ahh, I see. How about you get wasted tonight and forget everything that happened tonight, eh? How does that sound?" He says and pushes my shoulder.

"Well alright, let's do this!" I say, just trying to not disappoint the poor guy, he gets too excited about these things. Juan turns up the music and pulls down his sunglasses.

He speeds up to a freeway which soon becomes Santa Monica Blvd.

We soon arrive to a club, which seems to be called "Firefly." He turn off the vehicle and unlocks the doors. We climb out and were quickly let into the club.

Once we get in, I already get offered a shot glass. I take it and Juan Carlos takes two.

The night goes on and I've had my eye on Juan, knowing this boy likes to party and get completely wasted.

I wondered away and gave him space, but now I think its time to get going.

He's surrounded by a bunch of girls. As I approach him, everyone around him turned to me.

"OH WASSUP JUSTIN!" He says, his eyes almost blood shot and his weight on these poor two young ladies.

I grin at these ladies as I make my way to take him away.

"I think you've had enough fun today." I say as I bring his right hand over my neck and put my hand on his waist to carry him out.

We get to his car and he hands me his keys. I open the passenger door and place him in. I quickly jog to the other side of the car and I turn on the ignition. I put on his seat belt for him and then do the same to myself.

I typed his address into my phone's GPS system and pull out of our parking space. 

Traffic wasn't so bad so we got home kinda quick. Juan Carlos lives in Compton in a place called the 'Projects.' The government pays for these homes. 

When we arrive, Juan Carlos unbluckles himself and opens his door. I quickly do the same to myself and jog to his side to help him out. 

We walk to his home and unlock the door. I help him get to his bed and lay him down. 

This has become a regular thing everytime we hang out. 

I go to his living room to watch tv until I fall asleep.

Occasionally he gets up to throw up and eventually stays there. 

I close my eyes and drift into a deep sleep.
