Chapter One: The Call

        It was late September, I was laying down in my room, bored shitless, when I heard the phone ring.

It was Jessica my girlfriend at the time, "Hey babe, I'm bored can you chill?" she asked. "Yeah sure," I replied shortly, wanting to get out of the house.

"Are you sure? I've heard about the death threats, it's okay if you don't want to."

I raised my eye brows suprised, I didn't know she knew about that bullshit.

She started whining on the phone, I could tell she was worried about me. "Calm down babe, nothing will happen. Don't worry about trivial shit like this, I've got it covered, my mom worries enough for both of you." I said with a small smirk.

I heard her giggle through the phone, "Alright hun, if anything happens call me alright?"

"Yeah, see you soon." I say rushed as I see my friends headlights pull up.

Locking the door behind me, I greet my fam as he asks me where to.

"My girls house," I tell him climbing in the front next to him.

He looks at me for a second then sighs, "Alright man." He knew about my West dead beef, he had my back with it. He really didn't pay much mind to it. He knew that I could handle it, so he kinda just shrugged it off, and left it alone for me to deal with.

That's why the nigga was as close to me as he was.

We were driving, it was dark out and quiet, it was kind of unnerving. I could hear the wind over the radio as we drove down the highway.

It was about nine thirty, and my phone started ringing. "Yo, turn down the music for a minute," I told Zach as he looked at the caller ID when I answered.

"Who is it?" Zach asked, since he saw it was a private number.

I shrugged at him before answering.

"Hello?" A familiar voice came through, and it wasn't one I hoped to hear ever again.

"Homie we know where your at, we've got four guys deep. Their strapped in a car, waitin' for your punk ass." I hear him say in his shitty, overly ghetto accent.

I laugh loudly, he really fucking thinks he can scare me with that shit?

"Listen faggot, nothing's gonna happen. You're bluffing, as fuckin' always." I said shaking my head.

I remove the phone from my ear, and end the call.

My friend looked at me to check if it was who he thought it was, I just nodded. We both started laughing. "Hey bro what happened with them like why are they messing with you?" Zach asked me, he should be curious.

I mean death threats ain't no laughing matter when it comes down to it, kinda biased for me to say now though, seeing as thats exactly what we were doing.

"It's nothing really, it's just some stupid drama that happened two weeks ago. He was pulling on Jessica's hair, so I told him to chill. He asked what I was going to do, like a fuckin' prick, so I hit him." I told him honestly.

"Bro, you need to chill with your, 'I'm going to show you what Ima' do shit,' it's going to get you killed." Zachary stated.

I just clenched my fists, he didn't fuckin see the look on Jess's face while that dick was abusing her.

We arrived at my girls house, and I stepped out of the car not in the drive way, my boy went and parked on the side.

I waved back at him, and started walking to the door when I hear a huge yell from the car right behind me.

I turned around saw the same guys I had trouble with, as well as the faggot who messed with Jess.

He was kinda short, and had blue eyes, and blond hair. They could have been green, but from the way the lamp post shinned on his face they looked blue. He let off a little smirk and pulled out a gun.

I looked in disbelief for about ten seconds then tried to make a run for it, "Shit!"

I heard the gun shoot off twice, and felt my hip, and chest start burning like fucking satan's piss.

I dropped to the floor, and looked blankley into the sky. I couldn't move anything, it was like my mind was on overdrive, but my body had failed.

I heard a yell from my girls window, when I yelled back it hurt so fucking bad, it felt like it had drained the last of my energy.

My eyes started slowly shutting, as I laid there just waiting to die.

I hope I go to heaven, not hell.

chapter two: The Death

        I woke up in my kitchen, lifted my head up and thought holy shit I'm alive. saw my dinning room table everyone was having dinner my mom, my step dad,my brother,and my sisters. something was wrong i didn't see a space or another chair. everyone else seemed to not even recognize that i was absent. i walked up to my mom and said "hey wheres my seat at. she didn't say anything so i started waving my hand in her face and she was completely oblivious to the fact that my hand was three inches from her face.  I started screaming and yelling repeatedly but no one moved or said anything about it they just kept talking to each other It seemed i was a ghost and this was a fix i figured this was a life where i wasn't around. I walked into the living room and was amazed there was a huge tv new objects and furniture i turned around and looked at what they were eating it was lobster and shrimp, it seemed since i was no longer around they were doing good didn't need another son that they would spend there money on. i went to go explore some more than a blue light flashed.

        I don't know how but i ended up in a Ralph Lauren store. I saw my girlfriend she was standing next to this dude on the phone he was black kind of light skinned. He was wearing a blue snap back a white shirt some blue jeans and whit shoes. They were walking out with bags full of clothes. I thought of those past days when i would have no money to give her what i wanted to give her. She got in the passenger seat of a Mercedes, she was much more happy with this guy it was dope."fuck life would just be better if i didn't live all of them would shine if i never lived with them. i closed my eyes

chapter three: The Decision

        I opened my eyes and i guess i was back in repeat, i was outside my girls house sitting in zachs car. I thought for a moment should i do should i get out. Then i remembered that everyone was happy when i didnt live i took a deep breath looked at zach and shook his hand and nodded with a smirk.  I got out the car and a tear stared falling from my eye and slowly sliding from my face. I walked to the door very calmly and i heard the yell from the car right behind me. I turned around and saw exactly what i was expecting to see. He pulled out the gun and pointed it at me. this time i didn't run to the door. Then he shot twice and he got me through my chest and my hip. 

        I fell to the ground and heard the car leaving the scene Jessica yelled from her window and ran outside grabbing me and sobbing. It was hard to breath and speak but i tried my best. I looked at her brown eyes and smiled while tears came down my face. she couldn't say anything but i did have one thing to say. I told her to toughen up life would be better this way. then everything started getting black i knew it was time the same thing happened besides  the dreams i prayed one last prayer and then went into a internal sleep
