Adolescent Innocence (2) Heith's house, that night As I looked over the information that would but The Frosteg's away, I accidentally dropped a yearbook from last year. Inside of it, I had stuffed some pictures from some of the parties and trips we had taken in school. " Wow I remember this shit! " I said cheerfully. Then I noticed that in the picture, Garret was holding Tyler passionately. I quickly looked at another picture. I saw Tyler holding Garrets hand. Almost every picture that Tyler and Garret were in, they were holding hands or embracing. Then I came upon the picture from the party in the park. This was the first picture that Lee was with us in. In the picture, Tyler and Garret were separated and Tyler was next to Lee smiling. Something was up with this. I quickly logged on to the Internet and emailed Lee a message. Then I took the files, hid them and left the room. My Eminem CD was playing " Kill You " . I was home alone, so how did the stereo just come on by itself? Then I saw a person sitting with their back facing me. " Who the hell are you? " I said as I stepped nearer to the person. He/she was like 5 feet away. " Why Heith, this song is so ironic. Who would think that this song would be exactly what would go down tonight? " the person said. " What the fuck are you talking about and who the hell are you? " I said demandingly. " What I'm talking about is, " the person said as the chair spun around in my direction. I choked on air as the person in the chair turned out to be Garret. " BITCH I'M GOIN' TO KILL YOU! " he shouted gleefully as he ran at me. I threw a chair at him and ran towards the hall. He slowed down but kept coming. I turned around a corner and picked up a vase. When he came around I smashed him with it. He punched me in the side. " Ooof! " the air rushed out of me, but still I fought. I brought up my fist and nailed him in the face. WHUMP! He thumped the wall. I ran towards the laundry door. He ran in also but I was ready. I dropped kicked him in the chest and he fell towards the floor. I ran out of the room and lock him in from the outside. I also barricaded the door with a chair. " What now bitch? Huh?! " I said in triumph. Garret showed a small smile and nodded when he looked above my head. As Heith turned around a figure dressed in black tackeled him to the ground. Garret smiled as the figure slashed and stabbed Heith until the white lineoum floor turned blood red and Heith struggled no more. " Ha ha ha. Nice work Jay. " Garret said with a laugh. " Lee 0 Garret 1. " Jay said, covered in blood. The next day I tried to get in touch with Tyler but she was no where to be found. Neither was Tess. Tyler has been somewhere. She wouldn't return my calls and Heith was not even home last night. I thought suspiciously. I eyed Jay. He flashed me a thumbs up sign and raced away. The days were getting weirder and weirder. Heith was absent, Tyler and Tess absent, but Jay flashing me a thumbs up sign like he's my friend. I couldn't wait until I moved back to Thomastown where there was some sense. After school I went straight home. When I was there, I got the mail and went to my room. Maybe Heith has some excuse to why he has disappered. He is taking a big risk for me when he is out there playing Sherlock Holmes. I thought. As I logged on, I went to check my email and there was two messages. One from Heith and one from some guy named shadow. I checked Heith's first. It said: Lee this is Heith. You are in serious danger. Tyler is a traitor. She is on Garret's side. Tess is missing. Tyler was trying to get close to you so she could kill you. Garret wants her to pretend that she hates him. I should have seen it before but, she and Garret have been close all the time before you came back. When you did, she acted like Garret was the most disrespectiful person when she really still went out with him. Stay away from her and I will talk to you later. Heith No. This can't be right. Tyler said it herself that she loved me. Heith was wrong this time. He had to be. I sighed as I checked the next message. I almost threw up when I saw the message. It said : YOU ARE NEXT and it had a picture of a body that looked as if it had been through a human blender. Was this real? It also said : LOOK IN TODAYS PAPER. I ran downstairs as fast as I could and looked at the front page of the paper. YOUNG TEEN FOUND STABBED TO DEATH IN HOME When I saw it, It almost made me cry. Heith had been killed last night by someone who broke in the house. The person was still not to be found. I knew it had to be Garret. I will kill him right now. I disposed of the items that would make me suspicious of the murder. Then I equipped myself in all black and leather gloves. After that I took the gun my mother had bought to welcome anymore attackers. I hope you've had fun Garret because now it's my turn. I said as I left the house with an instinct to kill. When I arrived at Garret's house, I snuck around to the back. His house was immense and it was located at the edge of Portersville in the woods. " Good. Now no one will hear him scream for his life. " I said eagerly. I jammed the back door open with a screwdriver and walked in. It was warm inside despite the October weather. No one was about. I walked towards the living room area and saw a pair of stairs leading up. Garret's dad is pretty fat in the pockets. I wonder if it is made off of legal money. I thought doubtfully. I heard a person moan upstairs. I walked up the stairs quietly. As I neared the top, I heared another moan. What's Garret doing, jacking off? I thought. The moaning was coming from the door down the hall. It was open about an inch. What I saw made me want to shout, cry, and die right there. It was Garret and Tyler having sex. The moaning continued and I just stood there uncomfortably. How could she do this to me? Heith was right about her. I thought. They continued for about 10 more minutes when Garret said, " Hey, that was good. Now let me go use the little boys room. " he said as he walked away. I heard a door slam kind of far away. There was total silence except for Tyler's slow breathing while she tried to doze in the sheets. Time for me to visit my teammate, I thought gravely. I opened the door and went in. " Who's there? Garret is that you? " she said slowly. " No, it's me. " I said with a grin as I flicked the lights on. " Lee! It's you! I'm so glad. Garret tried to rape me. Come on, now we can put him to an end! " she said quickly and quietly. Does this bitch think I'm a total idiot? I thought. " Don't lie. I have been watching you two for about 10 minutes! What the fuck is going on?! " I said angrily. " Lee, let me get up and explain. " she said. I noticed her reaching for the couch ever so sneakily. Instinct made me cautious of that couch. Before she could react, I ran towards the couch and grabbed the pillows. But Tyler grabbed me and tried to wrestle me away from the couch! I quickly bitch-slapped her. BLAAAP! She uttered a cry as she fell back on the bed, her body exposed. I threw the pillows off of the couch and found a silver plated 9mm. I had rubber gloves on me, so I grabbed the gun. " Is this some kind of fucking birthday present? I WANT ANSWERS NOW! " I shrieked. " Okay! This game isn't about love or friendship! It is about survival, deceiving, money, and killing your opponents to get that money! " she said with vengeance as she covered herself with the sheets. " Then it was okay to kill Heith, then?! " I said. " Jay killed Heith. Who cares about him anyway. He was such a dipshit. " she said ignorantly. " I just tried to get to you just to find a vulnerable way to take you down. My bitch sis tried to warn you the other day. Don't worry about her, she was dumped in the river. In the end the score will be Garret 3, Lee 0 because you'll be dead you asshole! I hate you!" she said heatedly. Her anger shocked me. I had never seen this side of Tyler before. Her words also struck me like daggers in the heart. " NO. The score is now Garret 2, Lee 1. " I said as I sucked my emotions back in and tried to hold back tears from what I was about to do. Before Tyler could think or talk, I exploded. BLAM! BLAM! BLAMBLAMBLAM! I shot her 5 times with her own gun. I dropped it and ran. I ran like the devil. But I didn't run fast enough to get out of Garret's loud cry as he discovered Tyler's body. " NOOOOOOOOOO! " he echoed. But by then, I was long gone. Ring!Ring! Jay: Hello? Garret: We’ve got a problem, Tyler’s dead! Jay: Tyler's dead?! But how?! Garret: I believe Lee did it. I found her with 5 bullet holes on her upper chest and head. Jay: Man, Garret, please, let me kill him. Come on! Garret: Ok my friend. But watch your back. Lee isn't as dumb as I thought he was. Click! Garret hung up. Jay was getting an adrenaline rush as he got prepared to take another life. " I think I'll kill Lee with a knife I call, " The Heith Killer"! Jay said as he went to his dresser drawer to get his trademark blade. But he couldn't find it. " Where is it? I hope I didn't leave it in Heith's body somewhere! " he said with a laugh. " Is this it? " said a dark figure behind him. " Who the hell- "but Jay didn't finish because the figure grabbed him by the neck and slung him into the mirror. BRAAAAAAASSSH! Broken glass spintered everywhere. Jay punched the figure in the side and pulled off the person's hood. " LEE! " Jay cried. While Jay stood there, mystified, Lee took advantage and laid a well placed punch in Jay's nose. BROCK! Jay's blood seeped from his nose. Lee started hitting Jay with combinations now. " How do you like this?! HUH?! " Lee said as he jacked Jay up by the collar of his shirt. Jay evened the fight when he took a wastebasket and whacked Lee in the head. Bump! Jay then rushed Lee towards the stairs with intentions to throw him down the flights of stairs. But at the last minute, Lee kicked Jay's legs right from under him and flipped Jay down the stairs. Whump! Thumpbump-a thump! Jays body finally made impact with the ground. Jay tried to shake the dizziness from his head, but the stairs and the loss of blood had given him nausea. When Jay's eyes finally cooperated, he saw Lee at the top of the stairs with his hands on Jay's computer moniter. " This is for Heith. " Lee said as he heaved the monitor at Jay. " NONONON- " were Jay's last words as the computer monitor smashed into his head. BLAAAAAAASH! KRUNCH! When Lee turned around, he saw Jay at the bottom of the stairs, his head completely crushed and broken, and the monitor broken as well. " Lee 2, Garret 2. Time to break the tie. " Lee sighed as he prepared to leave. When Lee got home, there was a note waiting for him under the door step. It said: tonight, the construction site on broad steet, 12:00 a.m. come alone It has to be from Garret. I thought. At about 8:00, the news came on. There were two new killings. Tyler Andrews had apparently killed herself and Jay Cain was found dead on arrival when lawmen found out that he was the killer of Heith Parker because of a mysterious knife delivered to the police station with Jay's prints on it and Heith's blood. I clicked off the screen. I hate this. This is not what life is supposed to be about. We should be having fun, getting drunk, going to dances. We should be having the time of our lives, not killing each other off. I thought sadly. I had had some long nights where I would sit up and think about my problems and such. But tonight was the longest night of my entire life. I had better get some sleep. At 12:00 a.m., all was deserted in the city. The construction site spanned about 15 stories and was in the process of getting built. It was dark and cool out. The steel pillars and equipment stood still and were perfect hiding places. I quickly ran into the shadows. Garret was not going to get the best of me. " Thanks for coming. " someone said. " Garret, we have a tie. I really don't want to kill you so come out and let's end this fucking madness. " I said hopefully. " This is my game, my rules, and my win. You will be the one dead tonight Lee. You don't think I know about Jay? I saw the news. " he said accusingly. " Well now you know how it feels to lose a friend. Maybe in the next life you'll think twice about messing with people's friends. " I said. " Let's get this over with. I can't wait to feel your heart in my hands. " he said hideously. Suddenly, he swept out of the shadows straight ahead of me about 20 feet and fired. Theww! Thing! Taack! The bullets richocheted around me. I straffed from behind the steel pillar shot my own bullets. Garret had already dodged them and was gone from sight. He must be up to something. I thought as I eyed the rope leading to the second story. I started climbing it slowly and soon I was at the top. I sneaked towards Garret's previous spot. I couldn't see him anywhere. " Here I am! " he shouted from the third story! He was above me. I shot at him, and he shot at me. We both missed. But to dodge the bullets, we both fell down to the ground. Whup! I was back on my feet in a flash. My gun was lost but I saw Garret. Before he could shoot at me, I lunged for him and tackled him to the ground. We rolled into a sand pile and fought like animals. He shoved me into the sand. I grabbed a handful and threw it into his eyes. As he struggled to see, I kicked him right in the balls. " Awwww! " he shouted as his strengh left him. He was about 2 feet away from his gun and he knew it. I ran and jumped over the sand. Whoof! Whiff! The bullets lanced through the sand. I ran towards the empty 6 story offices next to the site. I ran inside and ran all the way up to the top. As I opened the top office, I saw an intercom and a chair and also a voice recorder. Garret was up and ready for another bout with Lee. He struggled to see any shape or person through the darkness and remaining sand in his eyes. Then suddenly there was a voice. " Garret it's Lee. Come on to the 6th office for a final face off. " Lee said over the intercom. He must be the dumbest muthafucka that has ever played this game. Garret thought as he clenched his gun and ran towards the offices. " I'm right here you little shit! What? Are you scared? " Lee taunted over the intercom. Garret raced up the 2nd flight of stairs. " Come out come out wherever you are. " Lee teased. Garret now neared the 4th flight of stairs. Almost there. He thought greedily. " You forget Garret, I going to beat you at your own game. " Lee said again. Garret was now at the 6th and last section. He neared the room where Lee's voice was coming from. " You are one- " But Lee got cut off as Garret shot through the door into the tiny room. BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM! Garret emptied the gun into the bowels of the room. There was silence. " Game, set, match. " Garret said in triumph. When he opened the door he expected to find a young, black teen dead on the floor. But all he found was a broken intercom and a shattered voice recorder over the intercom. It came to Garret quickly. It was a trick! Lee used the voice recorder to record all of the taunts and teasing on the recorder then he played it on the intercom! Just then there was a loud VROOOM! Garret looked out of the window to see a wrecking ball machine maneuver towards the office. Driving it was Lee! Then in quick succession, he reared the ball back, preparing to swing it in Garret's direction! Garret tried to run, but was too late. The ball smashed into the window and in less than a second, it had knocked Garret through two walls back outside. Garret flew through the air and grabbed the wire attached to the wrecking ball. He hung on for dear life, if he fell, he would fall 20 feet towards a hard landing on the concrete. Lee moved the ball over the fusion generators. The fusion generators were tubes of explosive matter that was used to blow up boulders and clear paths. The ball stopped directly over the generators. Then it shifted! Rump! Garret looked at Lee with surprise. Lee only shook his head with reluctantcy. Then he pressed a button and the ball was released from it's cables! "Ahhhhhhhhhh! " Garret screamed as him and the ball tumbled towards the generator field. CLAAASH! KRUNCH! Garret collapsed as one of his legs was slammed and then trapped under the 5,000 lbs. Wrecking ball. HISSSSSSSSSSSS! Then he noticed a hissing sound coming from one of the generators. The wrecking ball had ruptured one of the generators! " That means...." Garret said fearfully. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! A firery explosion lit up the sky as if it were day time. I covered my face and eyes as the deadly heat swept over me. A huge fireball loomed high above my head. Now it's time to make my disappering act. I thought as I rushed from the scene. As I snuck home, I noticed a horde of police and firefighters speeding towards the explosion. " Lee 3, Garret 2. Rest in pieces. " I said particularly to no one. It's over. The killing, the death is finally over. I thought with mixed emotions as I arrived home. 2 weeks later... As the building blocks and the city streets diminished in the horizon, all the fear completely left me. Well almost. We were moving back to Thomastown and I was glad. The past 3 months had been a living hell. The explosion was from an unknown source. Garret was found in the destruction. After the news told that, I turned it off. I still to this day don't know if Garret is dead or alive and I don't care. All I care about is getting away from it all. I wasn't to blame for all of the coincidences and deaths of some of my companions. But that still didn't stop the dreams and the realization of what I had done. The sins of my past will haunt me for the rest of my life. My dad was getting out of jail in a couple of weeks when I finally got the embezzlement money that Mr. Frosteg took out in the public. Life was looking up. Hopefully it will keep looking up and all will go well. Time for a new start. The End for now.... *Author’s note: Thanks for reading. This story took a lot of time and effort to come up with the complicated plot. A review would be very thankful to me. Thanks again.
