Chapter 11 - The First Taste Of Power
While in class, an idea popped into my mind. As the school day came to an end, I made my way back home. Since it was the end of the month, I stopped by Leslie's place to give him $100 for his work. However, as soon as he opened the door and caught sight of me holding out the money, his anger flared up. Snatching the bills from my hand, he forcefully threw them at my face, causing them to scatter across the ground. "I don't need your fucking money," he spat on the ground.Unfazed, I maintained my composure and replied, "Of course you do. Enjoy the money." Collecting the scattered bills off the floor, which wasn't much, I placed them into his pocket.His rage persisted as he retorted, "Fuck you." Reluctantly, I maintained a facade of kindness and civility towards him, acknowledging the unfortunate reality that he was my sole subordinate. If circumstances were different, I would have dealt with him differently, but for now, I had to exercise restraint. The next day, after school, I he
Chapter 12 - The World’s Worst First Aid Kit
"Which class is Arden in?" I asked, keeping my voice level and my expression as innocent as a choir boy's.The teacher looked up from her desk, blinking at Leslie and me. She didn't see the adrenaline vibrating under our skin or the fact that Leslie looked like he was ready to bite someone’s throat out. She just saw two students looking for a friend."He's in Class 108," she said, her voice helpful and unsuspecting. "Are you his friends?"I felt a twitch at the corner of my mouth. "Hahah, yeah, something like that," I responded, flashed a sly smirk that went right over her head."Well, you better hurry, the break is starting," she added."Thanks. We'll be sure to give him a warm welcome," I muttered as we turned away.We didn't walk; we marched. The hallway felt like a blur as we reached the door labeled 108. I didn't hesitate. I gripped the handle, swung the door open, and stepped inside. The room was full. Dozens of heads turned toward us. The chatter died down instantly. All eyes w
Chapter 13 - Restless
I was surprised to see I took three thousand dollars and a golden bracelet worth five hundred dollars. As I tried to fall asleep, my mind couldn't help but race through all the worst-case scenarios that could have happened to me or Leslie. "Fuck, he was stabbed. What if he gets an infection? What if it hit an organ? What if I didn't stitch him up properly? What if he goes to the hospital and they question him about the stabbing?" The thoughts consumed me, rendering sleep elusive throughout the night. The following day, I dragged myself to school on a mere two hours of sleep. The fatigue weighed heavily on me, but it didn't stop my grind. Leslie was absent from school, and worry gnawed at me. After classes, I made my way to his house. "Yo, what do you want, bro?" Leslie asked, his tone guarded. "I came to check up on you and pay you for the job you did," I replied while taking off my shoes and entering his living room. "Oh, so how much am I getting?" Leslie inquired, a glimmer of
Chapter 14 - Work For Me
As we finally reached Gestalt, our collective nerves were on edge, but we didn't hesitate. We pressed forward, determined to face the impending challenge. I took the lead and went into Gestalt alone, waiting for Arden and his friends to arrive. After a few anxious minutes, they appeared, and Arden wasted no time in demanding the money. "You got the money, fucker?" Arden sneered."Yeah... I GOT YOUR FUCKIN' MOM IN MY BED, BITCH!" I retorted, raising my middle finger with a nasty smirk. In that moment, Leslie and his friends launched a surprise attack from behind. Chaos ensued as the fight erupted, screams filling the air. Fear gripped me, but I was safe since I was only watching from the sidelines. The sound of bodies hitting the ground echoed, and after five intense minutes, only four men remained standing—I, Leslie, Arden, and his friend Monty. Arden!! You're going to fucking pay for stabbing me; it's still hurting me to this day!" Leslie screamed, grabbing my knife out of my hand
Chapter 15 - A Riskier Business
While on the main break, I headed outside to the schoolyard, where I found Leslie and his group enjoying their lunch. I took a seat on the nearby bench and excitedly informed them about my new organization. Leslie grinned and responded, "The Embrace, huh? That sounds interesting." After returning to class, I eagerly awaited some positive news. Once school ended, I went home and decided to take a short nap. While I was sleeping, Arden took it upon himself to search for potential weed dealers. He asked around Huntsville if they knew anyone selling weed, but unfortunately, his efforts were in vain. Nobody could provide us with $1000 worth of weed. Exhausted from his day-long quest, he returned home and sent me a text. "Bobby, I couldn't find anything, bro. No one has that much weed." "It's alright, don't worry about looking for it anymore; just chill for now," I replied, just waking up from my short nap. "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Bye." "Ciao." "It's too much of a risk to
Chapter 16 - A Deal With Kurt
Finally, Friday arrived, and I eagerly contacted Leslie to inform him of the drug deal I had with Kurt. "Leslie, get your men ready and meet me at the train station at 2:00." "Sure," he replied. I began to prepare myself and went to the kitchen to tell my mother that I would be leaving. "When will you be back, honey?" she asked. "I'll be back in the evening," I said. With the clock ticking, I made my way to the kitchen to notify my mother of my imminent departure. "I'll be back in the evening, Mom," I assured her as she prepared dinner. While walking towards the train station, I unexpectedly encountered a distressed woman who swiftly collided with me, causing both of us to tumble to the ground."Please, help me! I'm being followed by a man!" she exclaimed, her trembling voice tugging at my empathy."What?! Come with me, lady," I said, standing up and grabbing her hand.She looked like an angel, and I wanted to help her. We ran to a nearby store, hiding ourselves from the stalk
Chapter 17 - Your Special Reward Is Her!
After our return to Huntsville, I took a moment to pull Leslie aside from the rest of the group. In a hushed tone, I conveyed my instructions, "Tomorrow, gather the boys and meet me in Gestalt. That's where I will reveal the 'special reward' I mentioned.""Sure," he replied.I could sense his eagerness to discover the reward. Night had fallen by the time I reached home, causing my parents to worry."Bobby, where have you been all day?" my mother inquired, her voice filled with worry."Didn't I tell you I was going out with my friends?" I retorted, slightly exasperated."Yes, but it's late at night now! You're only fifteen. Instead of engaging in parties or other foolish activities, you should be focusing on your studies.""All you think about is studying, Mom. Can't you just let me live for once?!" I exclaimed, my frustration getting the best of me.Without waiting for her response, I hurriedly retreated to my room, avoiding the sight of my mother's almost tearful face.The weight of
Chapter 18 - Death Of Conscience
I was at home, eating chips and watching TV, when it just hit me: I ruined a girl's life. A surge of guilt overwhelmed me, leaving me gasping for breath. "What have I done? I am a fucking monster!" I cried out, my voice echoing through the empty corridors of my conscience. The weight of guilt bore down upon me, threatening to crush my very soul.Without a moment's hesitation, I stumbled towards the bathroom, my legs weak and unsteady. Overwhelmed by the magnitude of my actions, I found myself doubled over the toilet, vomiting uncontrollably. Tears streamed down my face as the gravity of my evil doings settled deep within my being. Through the bathroom door, my mother's voice, laced with concern, pierced the air. "Bobby, what is the matter?" she called out, her worry evident. "Nothing, Mom," I managed to mutter, my voice choked with vomit. "Just a stomachache." From desperation and trying to escape my reality, I fled from my home and sprinted towards the gym. Mindlessly I carried
Chapter 19 - The Monster Is Back
I looked at Leslie and told him to call all his men. He was still a little shocked but still called them. One after the other, they were all informed that 'Boss is back.' In a matter of minutes they were at Leslie's doorstep. [knock] [knock] Leslie swung open the door, and they stepped inside, joining me on the couch, eager to understand the situation. Boss, are you alright now? What will we do from now on?" Asked Arden, a spark of curiosity in his eyes, mirrored by the others. With conviction, I announced, "I am Bobby Freeman, the man who will conquer all of my city. What the fuck do you think we are going to do from now on!? Of course, we will conquer! That's what my organization is for!" "Hell yeah! The boss is back!" they exclaimed in unison, their excitement palpable. Despite battling the weight of guilt within me, I repeated a mantra, almost trying to convince myself, "Keep moving forward." It will be worth it." Even though I was not sure if it was going to be. Leslie ros
Chapter 20 - The Dangerous Invitation
Hours later of talking with Arden, I paid for the food and bid farewell to him. Making my way back home, anticipation mingling with uncertainty. The daunting task of destroying the Kovalev family loomed large, yet an unshakable confidence coursed through my veins. I knew deep down that my plan would succeed. Arriving home, my parents noticed my frequent absences and questioned me about my whereabouts. "You've been out a lot lately. "Where do you keep disappearing to, dear?" my mother inquired, a hint of concern in her voice. "Mother, I've made some new friends, and we've been spending a lot of time together," I replied, taking off my shoes. To my surprise, instead of investigating further, my mother seemed delighted to hear about my newfound 'friends.' Ever since I was born, I never had friends to hang out with and trust, thus making my mother happy.After a pleasant dinner with my family, I retired to bed, preparing for the upcoming day at school. The morning arrived, and I wal
