The Jump
There is this one boy who goes by the name of James who was living the life of trouble he was into doing drugs and drinking. But James would soon regret doing all of these bad thing when he decided to join a gang. This gang was the most hardcore gang in his area and the way to get into the gang was even harder. They had to prove that they would be loyal to the gang by letting the gang choose a target and you have to go and knock that person out in order to be let into the gang. James was trying to get into this gang but what they wanted him to do was to jump his best friend. His friend was walk by one of the leaders of the gang and look at him and the leader didn't know that was James friend. "You think you're up for the challenge little man." One of the leaders said.
James didn't know what to do because that was his friend and he didn't want to do that to him. James was just in his room looking up in the sky when his mom just barged in all angry.
" James go down to the store and get me a bag of chips i'm gonna have a poker night with my girlfriends. Also while you're at it can you go hang out with your friends or something because i don't want you in the house while my girls are here, here this will help you out." James's mom said with a cigaret in her mouth handing a 20 dollar bill to james. "Use the change to go hang out with your friends."
While james was walking to the store he passed by his friend the same friend that he was supposed to jump. " Whats up james how you been haven't seen you around lately." His friends said. James knew that if any members of the gang see him with the person he was suppose to jump, they will think he isn't worthy to be in the gang. "Sorry man i can't talk right now i have to go get something for my mom i'll talk to you another day." James said running down to the store.
While James was running he heard someone yell out "Hey little man where you running to." He turned around and saw one of the leader that they call P.U. in a pimped out low rider. P.U. standed for pull up and he was one of the most respected leader in the gang . " You little man isn't that the guy the assigned you to jump." P.U. told him while looking at james friend walking to his house.
"Ya thats the guy." James replied.
"Well why don't you get it over with and just jump him right now" P.U. said.
"I can't i have to go get something for my mom and i can't be late." James replied with.
"Alright then next time just call me and i'll help you get him alright." P.U. Replied with.
James knew this was getting serious and that he had to do something to get out of it. His plan was to talk to one of the members to give him a new person to jump because that was his friends and he couldn't do that to his friend. The next day James was walk down the street when he saw P.U. he was getting ready to tell him he could do it and that was his friend when he heard. "Hey little man come over here i need to talk to you." P.U. said. James rushed over and when he got there P.U. told him that he saw that kid that was assigned to james going into the liquor store. He told james "Lets get him when he gets out of there." hands James a ski mask " I'll knock him down and you get him while he's on the floor. James knees are shaking he knew once is friend gets out he was going to be screwed.
"Hurry up we need to get ready for when he gets out." He told James. James knew he could get out of this now but out of nowhere James heard. "Hey P.U." P.U. turned around and Clap! It a loud ringing noise filled James's ear as he tried to make his way out of there. He went behind a trash can as he went behind he heard 3 more loud Claps! James looked back and there was P.U. on the floor with multiple gunshots in him bleeding out. James looked around and saw two guys running one with a glock 19 and the other with a 9mm. James ran to P.U. trying to see if he could still get out of here before the police arrived, but all that was there was his lifeless body. James knew if he stayed he was going to be the one that was gonna go to jail as he was about to book it. There next to the liquor store peeking his head out was James's friend with the scared look on his face. James ran toward his house as the cops start to arrive and he looked back and said with his fist clenched with anger "This is all my fault.".
