LANDON

TWENTY-NINE

Jaxon

Why was I getting beat up?

I didn't even say anything or do anything? Why am I on the ground getting kicked on my sides and kicked at the sides of my head. I felt and tasted blood and I felt the bruises already forming but why am I getting them??

"You're so fûckin glad that I didn't kill you Landon!" I heard Boss yell. The kicks stopped but I was having a hard time trying to breathe and the head was banging against my head. My body was somewhat numb but when I laid on my back all kinds of pain shot yo through my body and I can only huff out air.

I was staring up at the ceiling but I just wanted to knock out and wake up the next day. Like that felt like the best thing to do because I would have to listen to what boss has to say, and I already heard what he said, I tried to kill him too. I wanted to get out of this gang shit too. I didn't want to hurt my ma because I heard stories of what other gangs done with the men's loved ones.

They used them against them and I didn't want my ma to get in danger so I told Boss that I wanted to leave but he said no. So yeah, I tried to kill him so I can become the new boss and kick myself out and give someone the title. But no.

I got kicked at my ribs again and I groan in agony and made myself bite my lips so nothing else can come out of my lips but it was hard when they scream at your face to look at them just making you look at how their fist comes flying at your face and all you can do is just take it like a...boy.

A boy. A boy is all that I am. A boy that had to teach himself nothing is easy in life and if it is then it's fake because nothing is real here. I didn't ask for this life, I sure as hell didn't want this life, but I would rather have this life than giving it to anyone else because it's horrible.

I felt the parts they were kicking and punching at my body, my body would just jerk at each impact, I was waiting for my body to hurry up and blackout from becoming numb. But they stopped.

"You have till tomorrow to have them dead, or it's you two... and maybe I'll be generous Jaxon, maybe I'll have your ma killed instead of you." My head snapped up and I could barely look at him with my eyes swelling but he was staring at me with a serious face as he slowly put his god damn cigar up to his lips, "I'm not fûckin joking, have it done." The guys that beat us up left and they made me sit up and look over to Landon. He was curled up with his body softly jerking.

I pushed myself up to stand, and slowly, very slowly walk towards him. His eyes were closed tightly as his teeth were grinding against each other and heavy pants leaving his lips. "Get up Landon, we have to go," I said closing my eyes and breathing in from my nose and then have it shakly come out of my mouth.

I hear his moans but he still doesn't get up. I sigh and slowly bend down to get him but my ribs sent a sharp pain through me, making my eyes wide open as my mouth hangs a little.

Ah, fûck me.

*******

It was night time already. I was laying on the ground in my room as I had my arms stretched up as the pain was flowing through my body. It felt good when I was stretching but it hurt like hell. I was taking in slowly and smooth breaths in but once I needed to exhale it came out as if I was giving out huffs, but I kept going because I was slowly starting to relax and slowly started to finally rest my body.

I had peas on my eye, and I had crushed ice in a ziplock bag against my ribs and it felt so good. "Jaxon!"  It was too good to last.

"Jaxon!" I heard that fûcker yell. My eyebrows furrow together and ignore him. "IM DYING!" My head snaps up and looks towards my door where I hear his voice is coming from.

"Shut the hell up Landon! It's your fûckin fault that we're both like this you piece of shît!" I lay my head back down and sigh.

"IM SORRY BUT JAXON COME HERE!"

"OH MY FÛCKIN GOD LANDON!" I get up mad and ignore the pain and walk towards him. I find out he's in the living room and the couch with the tv on. "What!" I yell.

He looks towards me with a busted lip and a swollen eye, "I can't see where I put the remote-"

"You fûckin call me up for that.."

"Well yeah, I can't fûckin see-"

"I CANT EITHER LANDON!"

"Well you're different-" I turn around and walk away.

"I'm going to bed, we need to kill these guys by tomorrow and tomorrow I'm not missing-"

"Well, I think you will with that eye of yours-"

"Goodnight!" I say as I round the corner towards my room and slam my door shut.

"Well shît kids," Steve says as he looks at both me and Landon. "You guys got your shîts fûcked up." He said as he tried to lift my eyelid open but it hurt so much I pulled back. He went over to Landon and did the same thing, "what'd you guys do? You weren't here, I would've pulled you guys out of the ring if I knew you weren't going to win, and plus you two wouldn't be in the ring because you guys aren't ready." He sighed when Landon pushed his arm away while crossing his arms across his chest and giving us a blank look.

"It was nothing, but we might not come in and train later on or tomorrow...we're just tired," I said as I slowly rested my head on the bar table while Landon looked at me with a serious look.  "Now that's bull shit," Steve said. "I mean I'm not stupid kid, tell me the truth about what happened." I shook my head and got up, "right now is not the time Steve. We got to go, we'll be back." I said as I was getting off the chair and with Landon already at my side. "See you in a while" I said as we walked out and started to round the corner.
