Every book has its last chapter, the chapter, where everything ends, dies and sometimes, gets forgotten... And this is the one, here... everything comes to the end.
The Final Challenge
Part 1
As I was leaving the hotel, I didn't know if someone is going to wait for me outside, to do something to me, or not. Hallways inside the hotel were dark, and you couldn't turn the lights on, and to be honest, I didn't want to even turn them on either. I was waiting quietly, so if anyone was waiting for me at the end of the hallway, they couldn't seen me. Walking really slowly, and trying not to breath or make any noises, I came to the end of the hallway. It was just empty, no-one was there. Literally, no-one. Where are the workers? This felt like a horror movie all over again. I had a great idea. Seeing that no-one is there, I went to the reception and stole some money... Just for fun. I was feeling my criminal fantasy. As I came outside, I was looking everywhere. At the every single corner, every shadow, object, literally everything. I needed to be sure that no-one is going to follow me or to kill me. I didn't have the best weapon, so idk, fighting with my mind I guess. I had to walk down the street to come to the car. At that point, it felt like I was back in the Town... It was still the City, looked like the City, but just that shitty feeling of danger and hiding made this place look really horrible. I don't know if I was tripping or hallucinating, but the whole way I was seeing some weird shaped shadows, and I didn't know if that's the real person, or anything. I was really lost and scared at that situation, that I had the feeling inside my head that told me I have to run. And that's actually what I did. I ran as fast as I could, I felt like when a kid goes to the basement at the night to pick up something, and then runs for their life thinking that some monsters will eat them... Well, I literally felt the same way. But one thing came to my mind while I was running... Who could be chasing me right now? The fake policeman? Josh's Father? Some guys that work for Josh's Father? Or even Josh himself? I don't know, but me feeling scared made me feel like if I was worthless. I stopped running. Even tho I'm gay, I'm still a man. I saw someone walking towards me... "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME???" I screamed, because I had enough of it... "Young guy, why are you behaving like you are on drugs??? For god's sake, no respect at all..." Said some old lady in her 70s maybe... I felt so embarrassed and apologized to her. But I went to the car, and I sat inside. I turned the car and then realized... HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DRIVE THIS THING? Only thing that I knew was how to turn the fucking radio on... But hey, there is WikiHow... I felt like the dumbest person ever. It was so cringe for me to look at this shit on internet... But after like 10 minutes I learned how to turn the car on, drive and use brake. That was enough for me. I turned on the car, turned the radio on... And such a irony... Criminal by Britney Spears was on... I couldn't fucking believe it. But well... Let's go... As I stared to drive, I remembered that I actually have no idea where to drive... Thanks god that he made some people who made Google Maps. Well, now... Let's go!
On the way, I was looking at the every direction, and I hoped that I would not crash my car, or to be exact... My moms car. Driving made me feel like a bad bitch, literally, but then, I remembered the reason why am I driving, which made my foot automatically press the gas pedal which made me drive faster. I don't know what the fuck was happening to me, but I legit stopped at the green light and was driving on the red one. My mom would be so disappointed in me... At some point, I was looking at the maps and didn't even realize, that a person was crossing the road. I tried to stop immediately, which I succeeded... The person was screaming, but I gave zero fucks. I then realized, that I'm about to enter the Town. Then, that scariness came slowly back to me. Will my plan succeed? Or will both my mom and me die... At the same night, in the worst place ever... And by that, the person that I love will stand next to me and laugh? While I was dying? I was again in my head, which is not the best thing, it only makes me weaker, I wanted my intelligence to shine again, I wanted to feel like I felt on the street when I yelled at the poor woman passing by... I came out of my head, and then drove faster. I was driving for like 5 minutes, and came next to my apartment... I knew that she wasn't in there, but that's the place where I spent the most of my childhood, and If I'm going to die tonight, I want to see this place one last time. Goddammit, Why is this silly, nasty building giving me this kinda connection, why? Why couldn't this shit hole be a normal place like everything else is... I have no words, but there is something else that I don't have much... And that's time... Do you still remember, at the beginning of this story, how I told you about that trans girl that died in cruelest way? Yeah, I don't want that to happen to me. I want to make some changes here. To show everyone that we, LGBT+ are also valid and strong, and that we can also defeat some assholes. And even if I have to die for that, I want to die as a fucking legend! But there is one more place I need to visit before I rescue my mom... My old school... I was driving nearby, and I was looking at that place... Looking at it, without any emotions... I saw that playground, and the images in my head just appeared... My blood on the ground, that retard Jonas kicking me really hard. The teacher staying in the corner and crying because she cannot do nothing about it, principal watching from the window and laughing because he's the father of the fucking Jonas... Police driving by, doing nothing, because they don't know if someone brought MP5 to school... But, do you know why am I not having any emotions? Because, I'm right now going to the better school, where I got everything that I needed my whole life, and that's not only education, but love. Love from every teacher and student. Alisha came first and, I think, she saved my life. She was the first person that started to talk with me, which made me open up more. Then, everyone there, telling me to be what I am and what I was the whole entire life. Even Josh, that stupid motherfucker, he is the biggest reason, he is the person where I found the true love. He maybe thinks, that he destroyed me because of that, but he actually didn't, he made me stronger. That's why I don't give any fuck about this shit hole anymore, because it will be better, always, and every kid that's struggling right now in that school, believe me, you will finish that school, and don't let some nasty people make you lose your own confidence, believe in your self. Maybe they are physically stronger than you, but you are mentally. IT WILL GET BETTER! Ok, now, I have to leave this place, and go to the place where either everything ends, or everything begins...
