Nothing Lasts Forever

Chapter 1 - School or Hell

"Look Rowland, I can't do this any more. You treat me like I'm nothing, like I am a piece of shit. But you know what, I am someone. I deserve better than you. Have a nice life."

I looked at her with evil eyes. I couldn't believe she was doing this, humiliating me, in front of everyone. We were standing in the hallway where everyone's lockers at high school were, everyone was looking at us. She began to walk away from me. 

I looked around and I saw lots of people staring at me, so I did what came naturally.

I quickly approached the closest person who was looking at me. He was a short guy, had glasses and freckles, and started to back away as I went closer and closer to him. Suddenly I put my hand to his throat and lifted him off the ground with my right hand. "What the fuck do you think your looking at?" I said in his face. 

His small, weak hands immediately tried to pull my hand off of his throat, and just as I felt him taking his last breaths a voice came from behind me.

"Let him go dude..." 

I recognized the voice it was Kyle.

So I let go of his throat and he quickly fell to the ground gasping for air. "Kyle." I said to him and began to walk over to him. 

"C'mon lets get out of here." He offered to me and we both walked out of the building. I noticed no one dared to raise an eye to me anymore. Good I thought to myself. That will teach them to stare at me. 

Once we were out of the building Kyle lit a cigarette and gestured to offer me one. I declined and kept on walking.

"Row, mate, what the hell happened?"

"Nothing. I don't want to talk about it." I replied to him

"Nothing?  You nearly killed a boy! In school may I add." Kyle began to raise his voice. "Now tell me. What. Happened?"

I finally gave in. "Jodie... she uh, she..."

"She broke up with you?"

I gave him no answer which he took as a yes. "Well... I don't blame her, mate."

"What the fuck man?"

"You did treat her like shit..." 

I ignored him and continued to walk on.

"There was no reason to harm that poor lad. What did he do to you?" Kyle asked me

"He was staring at me... at us. I didn't like it." I replied to him

"So you decide to fucking kill him??" He asked shocked. 

"I didn't kill anyone." I corrected him

"Yeah.. but you were going to..." 

 "I'll see ya later Kyle." As I said this I began to walk away until he grabbed my arm and said "Listen Row, you need to start to control yourself or you will end up with no one."

He was right, as much as I hated to admit it, I did need to control myself. But I just felt good when I was doing bad things to people.

" I know you like this whole 'lone wolf' thing you have got going for yourself, but life is easier with friends Row... And we live a long fucking time."
