After It Happened

I wake up, my heart is beating extremely quick, I can’t remember anything. I wake up to see that I am in a locked room by myself, I then hear loud banging at the door, I don't know what to do. I was extremely scared because I don’t remember what had happened before, then out of nowhere my friend, Dan, appears. He then said

“Hey bro you’re welcome by the way, I just saved you from a bunch of people who want to kill you!” I am shocked and confused both at the same time, I then say

“Wait what! Are you saying there is a price on my head?” Dan then answers,

“Yes, there is a price on your head, you wouldn’t be the problem if you never killed that one guy in the street.” Dan continued

“I brought you into this room and locked it to protect you from the those people who have gone mad.” As I was beginning to remember, Dan gave me a gun, a pistol to be exact, he said to me

“Keep it, in case things get out of hand.” He had two guns anyways, so he decided to give me one. Soon after I remembered every single detail that had happened before.

 

Before It Happened

 

I hear the bell ring which means school has begun.

“Ugh, I hate high school, at least I got my friend Dan to watch my back.”  As I continue to walk up to Dan as soon as I see him, the craziest bully gets in my way. His name is Jason, Jason Dickerson. He approaches  me quickly and says,

“Hey give me all your money and maybe I won’t beat the living lights out of  you.” I actually have a black belt in taekwondo, I just chose to leave him alone, so I gave him my money and walked away slowly, Jason then says,

“Thanks whatever your name is.” He didn’t even know my name, after that I just walked to my first class, math, the teacher calls on me to answer a question, but she doesn’t even know my name either. In high school, I was a nobody, the only person that truly knew me was my best friend Dan. After a painful day of school I decide to go and walk home. I then hear something coming from a dark alley.

I go to see what's happening, I then see a man being mugged at the end of the alleyway, in the middle of broad daylight! the mugger was a man working for this big corporation that sold pillows was trying to shut down their rival business which sold blankets by killing the president of the business. I then decide to step in and save the man. I say to the mugger,

“Hey! back off I don’t want to hurt you!” then the mugger replied,

“Stay out of this kid, this is none of your concern.” He then goes to stab the man, I then quickly grab hold of the mugger’s hand and redirect the knife into his chest. The man was dead, the police were called, and I was known as a hero for saving him. The only person who wasn’t happy about this was the CEO of that company. This was not a normal corporation though, he was like the kingpin of the city, he could do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Once he saw this news he gave orders to his best men to kill me. As I continue my walk home a hear a voice that comes from nowhere,

“Prepare to die!” I then see a man that has a gun, I then say, “I don’t want any trouble, just leave me alone.” The man then shoots the gun and it skims my arm. It doesn’t hurt too bad, I then charge at him with all my force and tackle him to the ground. The man tries to shoot me again, but then I quickly hit his hand which redirects the gun to be pointed at him, he pulled the trigger. With another one of the CEO’s men dead, he gets furious and goes on a rampage. He tells his men to put an advertisement up on the internet, television, and on the big screen in the city center with my face on it saying,

“If this man is killed, the person who kills him will get two million dollars in cash.” I then got really scared and ran home. When I got home I saw my house was trashed. My mom didn’t know about it because she was at work. There was some graffiti on the wall saying

“This was just a warning, next time we will trash you!” then I was really scared. After that I didn’t hear from my mom for a while, she then called saying she was in a hotel in another state. She said she was too scared to come back.

I now officially had no one by my side, I was all by myself. Within a couple of days, everyone in the city was after me, I had nowhere to go, the only thing I could think of to end all this madness was to face the kingpin myself, but that was too crazy. I was too scared to even show up for school, wherever I went everyone either had a gun or a knife in their hand just waiting to impale and or shoot me. I was then running low on food and water, I had to cover my face wherever I went for obvious reasons, so I tried to make a quick stop to the convenience store nearby. As I was walking I saw two men come out of nowhere. One had so much armor on, not even a tank could stop him, he was also wearing a gas-mask, the other was like a ninja, moving quick as if he were one with the wind. The man in armor said to the other man,

“Hey, Lo-Mein  should we get rid of this guy now or take him to the boss?” The man known as Lo-Mein then replied,

“No Brandonian, we must stage a live execution.” They both talked and talked about how great a live execution would be a perfect idea so they kept me locked in some type of prison cell for a whole twenty-four hours. The time passed slowly, I felt like I was in hell, Soon someone entered the room and said my execution will be staged early, It was Brandonian and the CEO, they were saying how Lo-Mein was in the process of testing some pillows that were supposed to relieve neck pains. They both brought me outside, they had a bag or sack over my head, so I couldn’t see anything, all I heard was,

“Kill Him! Kill Him!”, even though most people were sad because they didn’t get the cash reward they still wanted me dead, I didn’t know why. They brought me up to a stand from where I was going to get either decapitated, shot, or hanged. The CEO gave a short speech and I heard guns being loaded, then I thought to myself,

“Is this really it, my life stops here, only if it wasn’t so short and it had to go by so fast.” Then all of a sudden I hear gunshots, then Brandonian and the CEO who were holding my arms ran away so I pulled off the sack from my head, I saw that Brandonian and the CEO were gone, the executioners dead, and Dan with two pistols. I started to thank him over and over again. The people were happy because I was available to kill, so Dan decided to take me into this room and keep me locked in there with him so he could protect me.

After It Happened

I remember it all now, I then again thank Dan and then he told me to stop. He said with his face about to burst into tears,

“My family is in need of the money bro, I’m sorry.” He put the gun next to my head and then he pulled the trigger.
