Bad Boys Best Friend

Alex

"Alex!" I yell as I run down the street. He turns around and looks at me running towards him. "Run bitch!" I say and he picks up what I'm trying to tell him. He starts to run down the street as I'm right behind him. We turn towards an ally and jump the fence.

"Think we lost them?" I ask breathing heavily.

"Lost who?" He asked also breathing heavily. "What the fuck did you do now?" He asks and I laugh a little.

"Nothing big,just  pissed off  a guy and I kinda kicked him the balls and he sent four of his friends to go after me,main problem was they had bats and yea" I explain and he shakes his head laughing at me.

"Your an idiot" He smiled. "Why'd you get pissed?"

"Well the main guy was kinda dealing his drugs when I kinda walked in and the guy he was selling too,was short 5 dollars and the guy started to beat the shit out him,but two of his friends were holding him back so he couldn't fight back. And you know how I am with the fair fighting,so I got involved and it didn't end to well seeing the fact he had to send four guys after me" I smiled towards the end knowing Alex would get mad.

"Damn it hazel, don't fuck with drug dealers. They will stop at nothing to kill you if your a threat to them. You know this shit,this isn't the first time I tell you." He scolds and I roll my eyes.

"Anyone can kill me. Not just drug dealers,yet you never tell me shit about other people" I tell him and he sighs.

"But you know dug dealers are more likely to do it,they don't fuck around" He says again and I sigh this time.

"Stop worrying,I'm fine,I just like fair fighting, you know that" I explain again and he shakes his head.

"A lot of shit isn't fair cuz life isn't fair. I'm sorry hazel,but get used to it. You out of all people should know that" He grabs my hand and pulls me closer. " I just don't wanna loose you,I can't loose my best friend" He says lowly and pulls me into a hug. I hug him back and sigh.

"Okay,don't worry,I'll stop with the drug dealers even though,you and I both know I can kick their asses" I smirk and he laughs.

"That may be a point,but gun beats fist,everytime" He says as he puts his hand over my shoulders as we walk home.

"Robert,I'm home!" I yell as I walk into the house. It's 6:57pm and I know he's home from work. Well he should be,he works from 3:00pm to 6:30pm the weekends. Weekdays it's 6:30am to 4:00pm. Thank God I don't see him as much on the weekdays,seeing he leaves when I wake up to get ready for school and I usually hang out with Alex after school and don't come back till 6,sometimes later.

"Where were you?" He asks walking into the living room.

"With Alex." I simply say as I get start to walk towards my room.

"Is he your boy friend?" Robert smirks and I roll my eyes.

"Go to hell" I mutter and he starts to laugh.

"Already there" he calls back and I roll my eyes. One more year. One.more.year. One more fucking year. I repeat in my head as I change from my black shorts and hoodie to some sweats and a tang top.
I gotta admit Roberts not that bad, he hates me and I hate him,but he still gets me things I need. Were not rich,but were not homeless either well at least that's what people think.. I mean he only gets me shit cuz if I complain,they'll send him back to jail. It's pretty simple really. I go to shower and when I come out I realize I took way longer than I thought. It's 8:50and I have school. First day actually. Only difference is,this year I'm a senior. I change and go to my window I open it and climb out and climb to the roof. As I stand up I look at phone and it tells me it's 9:01. I wait awhile as I barely see a figure standing 5 blocks down. My phone rings and I answer it.

"Hey" he says and I smile at his voice. " How was he?" Alex askes.

"Same as always,just talking " I say and he sighs. "You?" I ask.

"Same as always,just being the dick he is" Alex answers and I sigh this time. "Schools tomorrow" He changes the subject."I know, one more fucking year till I'm done and out of this hell hole. I seriously can't wait" I say and he chuckles.

"You've worked for something so hard,for reasons you shouldn't have to" He says and I smile a sad smile.

"Maybe if I didn't have the reason I do,I would have never worked this hard" I answer him.

"Always looking at things from different sides" I can hear the smile in his voice.

"Sometimes you have to. You gotta flip and turn and mess things up so the pictures the way it should be" I say and he laughs.

"You amaze me" he breaths out and I smile. " You better get everything you deserve or I'll kill someone" he jokes and I laugh.

"Shut up,you moron" I laugh. "Same with you,I know you want a life of your own,you'll get one,just don't fuck up" I say and he laughs.

"I tend to do that a lot" He says sadly.

"So do I"
