Alone

Part 2: Tom

Tom

        I was riding in the car with Ben, Sarah, Esmerelda, and Jasmine to the concert with 3 pretty good bands. I was looking forward to possibly hooking up with Jasmine tonight. I need to feel love soon or i fear my heart won't make it. We arrived at the venue and walked in with our tickets. I walked in and saw some dude talking to Ben and Sarah. I had my eyes set on Jasmine because i didn't wanna risk the chance of her hookin up with someone else tonight. 

        While Ben and Sarah were talking with that guy I talked to Jasmine. "listen Jasmine i really like you and i was wondering if you feel the same". "I just hooked up with Esmerelda, Im bi-s****l now" she responded. I felt bummed and rejected but I just wanted to drop it and have a good time. I walked away "Tom wait" Jasmine stopped me, "what" I asked. "you're a really great guy and i'd go out with you in a heartbeat if I was single", "but you're not" I said. I walked over to talk to Ben, Sarah, and that random guy. "are you guys moshing?" I asked knowing Ben was down. " of course" Ben replied. 

        The music started playing and i didn't quite catch the band name as i was moshing. I was having so much fun moshing in the pits. After the 1st show so i took a breather and leaned against a wall. Ben was standing around in the pits waiting for the next show he seemed to be pretty out of it. I noticed Sarah was going to the back to the bathrooms most likely.

        The 2nd band was about to start so i went back to the mosh pits for more. Anything to avoid the awkward encounter with Jasmine and her girlfriend. I was moshing pretty hard for the 2nd band and some fat guy sent me flying to the edge of the pits. I landed on this girl and she looked pissed "what the f**k asshole" she yelled at me. "Im sorry" I backed away. "Is this guy bothering you" her buff boyfriend came out from the crowd. They looked over and i was gone. I was scared so i went to look for Ben after the show. He was near the front headed towards the back so i caught up and pulled him aside. "dude im in deep s**t i fell into this buff guys girlfriend" I spoke nervously. "What do you want me to do about it?" He said in apathy. I looked at him loosing hope but i was still in a state of despiration. "get my back" I was hoping he would help me but he seemed pre-occupied; "look dude im not getting my ass kicked for your mistakes".

        I couldn't stick around cuz i saw the buff guy coming for me. I rushed out of the venue cuz i had no real reason to stay. I ran for the car and i just sat there dozing off. When i woke up i saw the buff guy running towards the parking lot with a 10 dollar bill in his hand. He looked kinda strung out on something but i ducked down in the seat until he passed by. I started walking towards the venue and saw a hand reaching out from the dark of the alleyway. I figured it was just a drunk hoboe or something. I rolled the body over "sir you need to wake....". Into the light i saw Ben pale and breathless. "Oh My God" i puked and then i paniced i didn't have a phone so i ran into the venue. "please somebody call 911 my best friend is lying there dead outside." I shouted and a crowd surrounded me in concern with their phones out. 

       The cops were called and I felt that this was my fault for leaving him. I left him for that buff guy to kill him and i felt like i killed my best friend.
