Behind Steel Bars

CHAPTER 9

Evan-
He just left me. I didn't know if I was going to leave him or not. He made the choice himself though. Tyler notices my hurt expression and comes and hugs me.

"It's okay man. Maybe it was meant to be this way." I back up.
"No. It's not meant to be like this. I love him! The past is in the past! It needs to stay there! We had a future! I wanted to marry him and now he's just... gone. Like nothing happened."
I start crying again. Tyler holds me once more.
"If it means anything I left Craig."
"Wait you liked Craig?"
"Yeah, I did. A lot. Still do as a matter of fact."
"God I already miss him. What's wrong with me?" I cry out.
"You're in love. I miss Craig every damn day."
I can't let this be the end. I can't.
"Then let's go get them." He smiles at me.
"Let's go get them."

Jonathan-
I step off the plane. What to do next? I see a poster for a rock concert on the beachfront. I feel nothing but pain.
I don't belong here anymore.
Fuck. Am I really going to do this?
I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I ignore it and continue to the old base.

Once I get there I put in the code and go inside.
"Delirious! You're back!" Gorilla comes running up to me to hug me but I raise my hand and he stops.
"I'm just picking up some supplies." I say as I open the weapon vault. I enter and immediately go for the machine guns. I begin loading the rounds. Gorilla follows me in.
"Delirious what's wrong?"

"Nothing is fucking wrong! Just leave me the hell alone." I say snapping the clip into place.
He watches me as I get loaded up with a bunch of weapons, then put on a light coat to cover them.
"What are you doing?"
"That's none of your fucking business." I say pushing him aside so I can leave. He watches me as I leave and head toward the beach.

Sniper. Assassin. Hit man. Serial killer. Convict.
At least Brian got away from my toxicity.

Everything I've been called runs through my head as I near the beach. Do I really want to add this one to the list? I sigh deeply.
I don't belong here.
Yes. I do.
Sniper. Assassin. Hit man. Serial killer. Convict.
Mass murderer.

Evan-
Tyler and I get on the plane. I've tried calling and texting Delirious, but he won't answer.
"I'm starting to worry." I tell Tyler as the plane takes off.
"He's only a few hours ahead of us. What could he do in that amount of time?"
I have a sinking feeling.
"He could do a lot Tyler. He could do a lot."

((Time skip)) <play song here>
As we drive, I start hearing gunshots and screams.  I look at Tyler. I can tell he's worried, but he doesn't voice it.
"Pull over!" I yell at the cab driver. I get out and run towards the beach.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" Tyler yells at me as he pays the driver.
"I don't know!" I yell as I keep running.
God Jonathan. Please tell me this isn't you...

Jonathan-
I see all the people partying and dancing. I wish I could be so careless. It reminds me of the time Evan and I would dance. I let my anger take control.
I don't belong here anymore.
I just have to do what I have to do.

As I get closer I take out the smoke grenades and send two into the audience. Stupid bitches think it's part of the show. I then take out my gun and start spraying. The screams. So many screams. The band stops playing and I just keep shooting. I hear a lot of people yelling run and see them grabbing their friends.
You don't belong here.

I mow so many people down. I hear sirens and start seeing cops. I keep shooting.
Then I see them holding guns. I drop my gun and get on the ground. The cops sprint over and put me in handcuffs. I struggle against them and they make them tighter. There is blood everywhere. The sand is stained. Out of the corner of my eye I see Evan. He's frozen as he watches me get shoved into a cop car.
What have I done?
