One Moment (THE PALS FAN FIC)

MERCY

      "Dang it".I say as my phone hit 2%. I am terrified. I know it is dumb to be scared, but i can't help it.  I should have never went to the club with Kevin jesus. Problem is that i am always over thought everything. My stomach uneasily shifts and I notice my hand are hugging myself so hard to the point where i'm pinching into my skin. I release my hands but then I can't figure out what to do with them. I mean i been here for 2 years now i shouldn't be scared. But all that news of gangs and what not... new york doesn't seem like my safe heaven anymore. First Kevin and now - BREATHE....5 more blocks. WAIT. i hear a familiar voice. I couldn't understand her words but could put together they were curse words for the taut tone of her voice. Lucy. First of all why is she out at 12am secondly is she in trouble?!.

I follow the voice of my best friend to come to even more voices more powerful in the air. She's in park. GREAT. I could go home which is now 3 blocks away.. Or i could save my best friend from whatever is going on. Of course nice old me doesn't want to wake up to see Lucy's body sprawled on the grass of highland park.As i grow closer yelling turns into laughter. The trees sway, barely visible against the dark ominous sky. Leaves scurry along the path as the breeze becomes more harsh, raising goosebumps on my pale arm. In between the long dark trees a see lucy attached to a brown man's arm taunting the other people across from them. A man.. Tall man with a light blue shirt goes up to lucy and the other man.behind him a man a little shorter , blonde..holds him back.Words flew from their mouths. I knew instantly from the look in blonde boys eyes that they'd hit their mark. i dont know what was said but it sure did hurt his feelings. He lunged for his back pocket and pulled out a gun .

"LUCY GET OUT THE WAY!" , i screamed. The bullet spat out causing a rush of red in the darkness. It hit the brown man in the chest pushing him to the ground. Lucy covered her ears then looked down. she looked like she has seen a ghost. She ran her finger through her hair in distress falling to her knees. She looked up and ran into the darkness.

"Come out..", Said she blonde boy pointing the gun aimlessly towards where my words still lingered. I just witnessed a murder.. My night is just full of violence. My legs feel like stone. In my mind i'm running back to my little crappy apartment. But no.. i'm still standing here. A large hand appeared from nowhere and tightened on my wrist. I turn to fight it but lose my balance all together and my feet started to drag on the concret. Until we get to a place darker than the park. Thrown to the ground the blonde man points the gun in my face

"Sketch! It's just a girl." She the tall blue shirted one. He runs his fingers through his hair. "Corls gonna be so pissed"

"I say no face no trace" Sketch say as he raises the gun back up. I dark figure make their way from behind them.The voice was unexpected.It was low at first with a hint of more and more power.

"I said to keep guard while i sold these arms.. Luckily every rack had been sold, every piece of M203PI -" His eyes harden on my lifeless like unmoving body sitting on the floor. "W-what is THIS. Denis explain.NOW"

"Well 14k came and they started trouble.. Then Mike started to talk about Sketch moms - then he shot him." The blue shirted boy spoken with formality. I could tell he was some what second in command. I fixed my mouth to speak but the man started back up again.

"And i'm guessing she saw the whole thing... hm." He rubbed under his chin where some minor hairs were growing.

"I was gonna kill her-" Sketch said. Corl snathced the gun from his hands making us both flinch.

"I think u did enough killing for today". Corl didn't laugh but sketch and Denis got a giggle out of it. He looks down at my bruised arm. Along with other scratches. He grabs the gun out of his right hand and uses his free hand to force me up with one quick grab of my arm. I pulled away trying to be somewhat independent. He rolled his eyes as a all black Bentley pulls up. He nods towards the car and Denis and sketch make their way in. 

"If you expect me to wal-" i began but his voice overpowered my own.

"Ill give u 2 options girl, either you get in this car and we can make some deals or-" he starts to readjust the chamber and points it toward my head. "You can die.. Be smart"
