My heart sank at the sight of Chico's body, dead on the floor, the pool of blood coming out from him.I felt my face pale, almost to the point of where I was about to faint.After hearing Junior say he was dead.I just couldn't believe it,I hover over Chico's body, Feel for a pulse ,but there is none.I look into his now lifeless eyes and cry.My friend is gone... It's always the good ones that go... Junior softly pulls me away from his body."You guys have to go now , seems one of the neighbors called the cops.They know me and about the parties I throw, but they've never had reports on gunshots.They can't find you here or they will take you in for questioning , I'll take care of the body, now go !", Gio says as he quickly leans down towards Chico's body to cover him up.Junior and I quickly take one last look at our friend...Then we run out of the house, running through the streets as we hear the faint sirens getting closer and closer.
Junior and I arrive at his house.I run to the bathroom to wash my hands up, they were covered in blood. I look through the cabinets to get the medical kit for Junior's wound.While I walk towards the living room , I find him sitting on the couch. I walk over to sit beside him, "I got the kit , now lets take care your arm here" ,I say shaking.Junior puts his arm out in front of me , "Now sit still while I take care of it", I say as I grab his arm.I gently wipe away the blood around his arm and focus on setting a few pieces of gauze pads on it, after that I wrap the bandage around his arm.He looks up at me and smiles a little "Thanks for that",he says, laying back on the couch, letting out a huge tired sigh.I look at the clock 4am...Fuck my dad is going to kill me... "Hey,I have to get going, my dad will kill me if he finds out i'm not home yet", I say as I get up from the couch.Junior grabs my arm and looks up at me, "Please stay , it's basically almost morning and we have school... plus...I don't want to be alone... and I know you don't either",He says looking at me with a sad gaze. I nod and sit back down. Alone?... huh... well we both have a different definition of "Alone"... For me it's at home being alone in my room.My brothers probably coming into my room to disturb me, or my dad yelling for no good reason.Basically it will just bring my mood down more than it already is tonight...but as for Junior...
Junior just recently lost his parents about a year ago.His mom died in a car wreck on her way back from work, a drunk driver was speeding ,she wasn't paying attentions to her surrounds... and crash...He hit the drivers side of the car, causing her to die on the spot.His dad, well his dad was a drug dealer and well ...you know...usually that never ends well.Turns out he was running low on clients, which meant he was low on money...But as almost every dealer story you hear, he pursued after his competitions clients.And well his competitors found out about him selling to the majority of their clients.Later that night his dad was found in a ditch, beaten up ... stabbed and well shot in the head.Dead...They were both really friendly warm people, but life always catches up to us and we get back into reality where nothing good ever lasts...It's the sad truth in this twisted messed up world.With Junior's parents gone that means he lives alone.His source of income is selling drugs... yes, ironic...just like his father, but what other choice does he really have?He has applied to different places, but once they find out or see about his gang related life, they turn him down.He has no known family around and refuses to live with strangers, Chico has also all offered him to move in with him and his family, but Junior is a stubborn guy and always said he'd feel like a bother if he did.The lonely kid we called him.Chico and I were his only family, but now it's just me...
We lay there for about an hour, staring at the ceiling, no words... just the sound of our breath was heard...exhausted, after everything that went down tonight.I close my eyes and let out a deep sigh, still wondering who... Who was the person that killed Chico last night?... "Stop thinking about it." I open my eyes, look over at junior and gently tilt my head, He looks back "Stop thinking about Chico, you'll just make yourself feel worse about it.", He said.I sit up to start speaking "But...Do-" only he cuts me off, "I know you and I know when you start to overthink about these type of things, you start to panic" He says as he sat up too."We can't have you seeking out revenge, not right now anyways.", He says while his voice is cracking.He seems to keep his emotions... can't blame him though... He grabs a hold of my shoulder and looks at me, I get a bit stiff,"Promise me you won't do anything stupid?", He said.I look back at him and nod, I get a bit nervous as he still had a hold of me.He looks straight at my eyes then closes them, he slowly leans forward. I just sit there...astonished... our lips finally meet.His lips softly brush on mine for a good few seconds,I feel my face warming up, only to see him pull away quickly.He looks away ashamed and embarrassed. "I'm ... I'm sorry", he says quickly getting up, leaving me...as I sat there in confusion.
