Seeing the man poiting out a gun to henry is something terrifying that I've ever encounter.
At any point that time, he could pull the trigger and Henry's lifeless body will drop in front of me with his blood all over me.
"We meet at last, Jackson." The man in a hoodie said. And he now points the gun at me. I couldn't move, I don't know what I should do, I am just staying ehre, with fear eating me. "I thought we're going to meet later?" I asks him and I can hear his evilish laugh even from behind his mask. "I thought about that. But it wouldn't eb fun if I just gave your money right?" HE said and he then threw half of my money at my feet.
I could see Henry's face with confusion.
I know what he was thinking. Where did I get all of my money.
But I get this money with my hardwork on it, not with blood on it.
"You wanna get this half?" He asks and showed me half of my money on his hands, I was shook when he threw a gun at me.
I bent down to look at the gun and memories came back in my head.
I open the door and I saw Chase holding a gun, pointing it to me. "Don't you dare!" He said in his confident voice. "Chase, I didn't mean to." I said and he went outside, trying to stand by himself, even tho he can't. "I rather walk in a small steps, forcing myself to stand and walk, than be with a crazy person like you!" He said and he keep walking backwards while pointing the gun to me. "You're not just crazy, you're crazy in love! Stay away from me weirdo before I shoot you with this in the head!"
I don't know what to do, I'm just standing here, looking at him, while his hurting himself, by forcing his broken leg to work.
After a second, he fall and drop the gun on the grass. I run towards the gun but Chase hold my feet that makes me fall on the grass. He crawl towards me and tried to get the gun first. I keep searching for the gun using my hand but Chase got it first.
I tried to get the gun to his hand, until he pulled the trigger. A loud noise was released from the gun and we both stop and look to each other.
This Chase in front of me, it's not Chase. It's not the Chase I know, he is not the boy I know, he's different.
"Who are you?" I ask him and shove his head using my arm. I heard a crack from the distance so I look fast and I was shock when I saw Chase lying on the ground, his eyes are wide open, and his head was tilt, looking in my direction, like he's staring to me.
"Chase?" I called his name. "Chase?" I called him again, but no response. I kneel down and look at him. I was shock when there's a blood from his head, spreading on the grass. "Chase?!" I shake his body, I tried waking him up, but....
He's dead.
It is the same gun that Chase pointed at me, the same gun that Henry had.
How did he get this gun from the lake when I threw it there?
At that time, I remembered the night Henry died.
The night where I accidentally crack his neck, where he pointed a gun towards me, when I push his car at the edge of the cliff.
Everything that happened that night came back to me like it just happened yesterday.
"Shot him and you will get this half." HE said and I look at him surprise. "What?" I said and I put the gun on the ground. "No." I said and attempted to walk towards them when he clicks the gun and pointed it on me. "Do you think this game doesn't have two sides?" He asks. "You shot him, you get the money. Yoou don't shoot him, I'll shoot you. And for him." He said and look to Henry. "He will be free." HE said and pointed another gun at his head.
He has two gun! HE is holding the two gun, pointing at both of us.
"Now. Let's play the game." He said. "Jackson..." Henry whispered my name. I look to him and I can see that he is begging for his life.
Poor him, he just got out of the prison, but he become the victim.
Jesus, What should I do?
I slowly bent down to get the gun on the floor where I drop it. I look at it and I can still remember what happened the night Chase died.
Why is this happening to me? Why everything happened to me happened? What was the God's reason? Why does everything happened to Cahse is coming back to me again? After all these years? After 2 years of my life in peace, I will be disturbed again by C?
Why?
I look up to see C, or the man in a hoodie waiting for me to choose.
The money? Or the blood that will be bleeding out of me?
Think Jackson! Think twice! You have to be wiser than this stupid C who is disturbing my life forever.
I have to think, I can't give anything up just because of the money. I can't risk Henry's life again, because no one will ever know what will happen next.
I believe in something, I believe that this events that is happening to me, will suddenly end, I can escape this, I can escape everything, I can, I can.
I loaded the gun and ready it.
I slowly putting my hands where I am holding my hands on the air and pointed it out to Henry.
I can see that He was shock on what just happened, on what did I just do.
"I'm sorry." I said. "You really are the fuckest friend I've ever had in my life, you know that right?" Henry said. "I do." I said and quickly turn the gun to point it to C and immediately pull the trigger.
A loud echoed from the gun was heard all over the room and I can see blood pouting out from his skin.
