the boy with the blue shoes

part 41

i woke up on saturday feeling refreshed like i wanted to go out and find somewhere, explore this place. it was super early like 6am and i quickly got dressed, i grabbed some money from my dads wallet and left. i didn't know where i was going or what i was going but i was doing something. i was walking down the street when a group of boys came up to me. "hey i know you" he said looking at me. "you're that kid who my little brother was hanging around with, your um... your matt or something like that" he said. "my names max" i corrected him. "oh sorry" he laughed with his friends. "anyway you might know my brother, his name's ace" i nodded. "weird ace never mentioned you" i said. "yeah well he tends not to, i'm the one who got him and theo sent away" he said, i nodded. "i thought that was theo" i said. "that's what he tells people but it was really me" he said. "and what's your name" i asked him. "it's christopher but everyone calls me chris" he smiled.

i smiled back. "so what do you want" i asked him. "well you see i saw you come out of that house over there" i turned me around and pointed at my house. "your point" i asked. "for the past few weeks i've been keeping my eye on that house, and last night what would you believe i saw" he asked me. i shrugged. my dad hadn't done anything last night so it wasn't that. "i saw a women, standing there naked" he smirked. "i had a nice wank, but that's not enough you see" he started giving me a really creepy vibe. "i want you to go get me that women" he said. "what if i don't" i asked him. "well then we'll do what we do to everyone else who disrespects us" he cracked his knuckles. i gulped. i looked at all of them, they didn't look like they were very strong. but there was at least 6 or 7 of these guys, there's no way i could take them.

i stood up. "no" i said. "get em boys" before i even had time to run they grabbed me. i struggled to get free but they weren't letting me lose. christopher ran up and punched my gut as hard as he could. i groaned and bent over a little bit was hoisted back up by the guys holding me. christopher was punched and kicking me and it began to really hurt. i began to cough up blood and everything. then one of the boys pulled out a switchblade. i didn't notice until it was being plunged into my side. i screamed out in pain and finally a man, probably about mid 30s cape running over. "oi, what are you boys doing" he shouted. they all looked at him and ran, dropping me on the floor. i think the guy noticed that i was bleeding because he came rushing over and phoned 999. the last thing i heard was the sirens of the ambulance.
