Bully This

Part 4

Luis' Mom came back, "the police are calling me now, Alberto are you telling me the whole story? Was Luis injured bad?" "Mrs. Rivera I'm so sorry all I can tell you is that he's in the hospital awaiting surgery." "Surgery, what surgery..." were the words she mustered before hanging up abruptly. Now by the entrance of the school, he looks around to make sure they were not outside ready to ambush him, when he spots the Altima and proceeds to run to it. Once inside he straps his seat belt on before blurting out words he couldn't comprehend, sweating profusely and fidgeting, Jermaine grabs his arm, "listen kid calm down, I don't know what happened earlier but Moe told me to make sure you get home safe and sound, and that's what I plan on doing, now give me your address and chill out. Your friend is in the hospital with Moe and his mother is on the way. Have you spoken to your parents yet? Please do and let them know you're safe and are heading home now. You can explain everything to them in person."

Jermaine turns the volume up and looks at Alberto, "hope you like Tupac." All he could say was "yeah" as the tears flowed from his eyes. Jermaine quickly adds "Keep your head up kid, it happens to the best of us." "I'm tired of being bullied, I just want to live a normal life not as a punching bag. I can't go to school without any repercussions, today it was the kings and crips, tomorrow the bloods" yells Alberto, now he was crying uncontrollably. "I swear I'm gonna get a gun and shoot them all, one by one. I want to put a bullet in between Tone-Locs eyes and tell him to bully this before he bites the bullet" while punching the dashboard for the fourth time before realizing he was bleeding. "Look kid I know you're frustrated and hurt but are you really gonna throw away your life on a bunch of low lives who have a jail cell or coffin awaiting them. Those dudes are heading nowhere, fast don't let anger and frustration make you one of them." "And what is that he asked?" "A monster, blinded by rage that your willing to hurt every and anybody. Remember young man guns kill people and a bullet doesn't have a name, think smarter there won't be no turning back if you pull that trigger."He slows the car and stops. violence is never the answer, but you and your buddies are gonna have to start defending yourselves. Maybe some defense classes at the college I work at, here's my number don't be afraid to use it and the offer still stands. Go ahead kid hurry on up, I'm sure your parents are worried about you." They shake hands and he yells out before leaving, "call Moe and let him know you're home safe." He makes a U-turn beeps the horn and just like that Alberto was out of danger for now. However, danger was again at his doorstep, this time behind him crouched down and out of eye sight." It was June and his cousin Terror . "Look Tee these are my friends please leave them alone, take it out on me cuz please." Right on cue Terror starts pummeling June while cursing him out at the same time, "you fucking pussy, you can die with your bitch ass friends." Alberto hears the commotion and starts to turn the key when he hears a familiar voice pleading for him to stop. It was June and Terror , but wait why was he attacking him?

With family like him who needs enemies he thought to himself. "Should I help him? Fuck him, just like he fucked us over earlier, but what about if he kills him? Anger rushed through his body and he was ready to act on it, he runs inside and comes out with a metal bat. Terror had June in a fetal position begging for his life while he menaced him with the gun that looked similar to the one that was used earlier to shoot out the janitors back window. Alberto had seen enough and sprung into action. Catching him from the back with his first swing knocking the gun out of his hand in the process, he quickly kicks it under a car and proceeds to batter Terror non-stop. His neighbor screams "Al please you're gonna kill him." Alberto looks up and says "good this motherfucker needs to die." Terror was trying to crawl from harms way but to no avail, since Alberto was hitting him in the legs, busting his kneecap in the process, that wasn't enough so he started hitting him in his arms too, "fuck it I'm going to kill him" thought Alberto as he raised his bat with the intentions of cracking his head open. "No Al, no son, don't do it" it was his father pleading with him not to do it. "Give me the bat son, please listen to me." Now with Alberto's attention on June, he raises the bat and says "And You!" charging towards June.

Alberto's father tackles him to the ground. His mother was screaming from the window, "I called the police and they're on their way." Simultaneously they both grab Terror  and hold him down til the police get here. June was on the floor being attended to by the neighbor, "he's hurt real bad, looks like he stabbed him a couple of times." June manages to get up with help before staggering on the car, "you piece of shit as he spat on Terror." Terror  yells "Your dead, all of yous, don't go to school motherfucker cuz your dead." June spots the knife behind the tire and alerts Als neighbor to retrieve it. Now unattended June makes his move, all that was heard was a thump, followed by a scream and the smell of gun powder in the air. June killed him with one to the head. Everyone stood there stunned and motionless over what had just taken place. There was no turning back, the cops were on their way. "Give me the gun June, dear Jesus what have you done?" Now in a state of shock, June drops the gun takes two steps backwards and begins to run when he was confronted with the first police cruiser and now another one, they were ordering him to get on the ground.

A neighbor had seen everything and had  given his description of what took place to the police. They quickly put the pieces of the puzzle together, a dead body, the murder weapon on the ground and a suspect about to be arrested. By now there was a sea of flashing lights and blue uniforms as police swarmed the area. "He was defending himself officer," the other neighbor began telling the sergeant who was taking notes. The coroner was here to pick up the dead body, after it was fully examined by the crime scene unit and other personnel she was allowed to place the body in the dreaded "body bag."
