Darkness

Adam

I woke up two hours early.

The flat, as usual, was dirty, messy and contained shit from the party someone threw last night.

I sighed heavy and ran my hands through my short hair, my clothes were torn in places and I felt annoyed.

Today was the day, I was going to court, probably to be locked away for three years, if I'm lucky.

"You okay, man?" Mumbled someone from across the room. It was Jake, his hair was messy and eyes bloodshot.

"I don't know." I admitted.

"Well," he began, as he came to sit next to me. "What's up?"

"I'm going to court today, remember? For hurting that girl."

"Oh, shit, Adam, why'd you do it?" He asked, frowning slightly.

"She looked like Angie with her blonde hair, and I dunno I just went mad, like couldn't stop hitting her." I placed my head in my hands.

"Since you're going to meet this girl and her family, you might as well look damn good," He got up and threw me his best blazer, from a pile near his bed. "Just return it." I smiled, Jake was a good person.

"Thank you, Jake, I mean it."

I really appreciated it, I needed to look in least half decent.

"Look, Adam, I'm gunna miss you," he lowered his voice for his next sentence. "You're the only good guy around here."

I smiled and thanked him again. Suddenly another person came into the room. It was James, I gritted my teeth, I hated James.

"Where you going, Adam?" He smirked.

"Court." I simply replied, and I had to prevent myself from adding, hopefully I won't see you again.

Me and James had a history for fighting. I hated everything about him in general.

"I'm gunna get changed and prepare myself." I muttered, as I got up.

Jake grabbed my arm on my way out.

"Please fight, Adam." He whispered.

Mia

I woke to up sharp pain ripping through my body. I groaned In pain, as I tried to shift myself to the edge of my bed.

Soon my mum came rushing in, she took one look at me and shook her head sadly, a tear slowly rolling down her face.

"Don't worry, Mia, soon that monster will be locked up for good, and won't be able to hurt people again, okay baby?" She asked, humming gently into my hair as she hugged me.

"It still hurts." I admitted, referring to my swollen eye and ribs, which only a week ago went through a severe battering.

Today was the day. I was finally going to see that man who stole my confidence and turned me into a fragile person, go to jail. It was all going to be in my power to send him behind bars. Which I'd like to add, deserved. For all I know I probably wasn't the only person that night who got attacked unexpectedly, but I was going to stand up for myself.

"You need to get dressed," my mum reminded me softly. "And be prepared to fight."

"I hate him mum, look what he was done to me," I sobbed. "I haven't been out of my room for days, I haven't eaten and I'm just afraid of everyone."

Why me, what did I do wrong?
