The next day, I felt like something was gonna go wrong, but, I ignored the feeling. Despite the fact that I had a swollen eye and lip I felt like a king. I finally stood up to my mortal enemy.

While walking to the store to get some groceries I was dragged into an alley and tripped to the floor. I was held down and beaten. Someone said stop and the men backed away from me. Jake walked from the shadows with a gun.

"You think you can get away with interfering with me and Kimberley" he said angrily.
"Don't do it Jake" I pleaded.
"No, stop talking" he said.
"Pow" the gun went. My stomach felt numb. I saw figures scattering and then I saw nothing.

Not yet I thought. Not like this. I'm not gonna die.

I felt my body in pain. I felt weak yet strong. I got off the ground and walked away from the alley. I was staggering and then I was out in the open. People were stunned and they rushed towards me. I collapsed on the road and blacked out.

What now how will Nick recover and what will happen to Jake. Let's find out.
