Baxford was a big city in Johanson State. It had many striving companies and was the birthplace of many geniuses and millionaires. It also had many good schools and colleges. Ones that people from all walks of life come together to learn.

Leon Virelli ran in torn clothes and a bruised eye and lip as he struggled to run since his leg was broken.

He tried to escape the bullies in this run down alley where normally shady things happened.

Panting, Leon muttered to himself.

"I hope they don't find me. Those fuckers hurt me so bad I can't even breathe well."

Running into an abandoned warehouse covered in dust and spider webs, Leon limped forward trying to find a place to rest for the meantime.

Finding a corner with crate boxes, Leon drags his broken down body to sit on it as he looks around for something to hold his leg in place.

"Got to get myself to a hospital and quick before these fuckers find..."

Right after whispering to himself, the bullies entered.

"Look boys, our toy was hiding here all along. This motherfucker thinks he'd be able to get rid of us. He don't know the streets raised us."

The leader of the bullies, One Eye spoke.

Leon heart was gripped by fear the moment he saw the bullies. If eyes could kill, there wouldn't even be a need for the moment he was in but unfortunately, at that moment it was left with him and his torn school bag.

"Look, I don't know why you've been picking at me since the day one but today you guys have taken it a little too far don't you think? We're only just high schoolers so why the need for this much violence?"

Leon tried to reason with them but as we all know, bullies are bullies. Nothing their prey says would change their mind.

"Boys, bring him out. Don't want people saying that we killed him."

Two of the bullies walked from the sides of One Eye and grabbed Leon mercilessly without showing care for his broken leg.

"Ouch! My leg is broken, can't you guys take it easy?!"

Ignoring Leon, they dragged him out of the warehouse as Leon screamed his lungs out and cried from pain.

After ten minutes of dragging Leon, they stopped in one of the streets in that neighborhood. That street was one of the few places where people were scarce and trucks were frequent.

Dropping Leon in the middle of the road, another student wearing the same uniform as the bullies and Leon was Michael. He was the school's rich guy and top student.

"I see my money hasn't gone to waste. Nice job, I'll give you that compliment."

Leon was shocked to see Michael there and from his statements just now, he knew he was the one behind all this.

"Michael...what...what are you doing here? How are you in this mess? No, infact what did I do to you for you to go to such extreme lengths?"

Michael started laughing wildly upon hearing what Leon said.

"Hahaha. Virelli, you must be a fool, so you actually think that with your meek attitude and brilliance that you'll be able to surpass me? You are such a an idiot. If you want to know what you've done then wait. What would be even better would be not to tell you and let you suffer.

See, out here, no one can save you from me. Oh and I forgot to mention. No one is going to hold me accountable for a broke kid like you.

You're just a filthy brokeass kid with no one to protect and back up. When I'm done with you, you'll see what I am truly capable of."

Leon couldn't quite understand as Michael was his best friend who now spoke ruthlessly to him.

A single tear slid down his cheek as he struggled to get up and pick a blade on the ground.

"See you in another life." Leon said as he was about to slit his throat when a lorry truck, out of nowhere came speeding at the boys.

Michael and the bullies ran away leaving an already broken and confused Leon to the mercy of the truck.

Before he realized it. He was blinded by the light of the truck and was taken away from life.

The driver hurriedly stopped the truck and got out to check if Leon was breathing but all that was left was a mashed leg, cracked skull with blood seeping out and eyes wide.

The driver jumped back in shock as he immediately took his phone to call 911.

In twenty minutes, after the driver pacing anxiously, the sound of sirens could be heard as the police and ambulance were nearing the accident scene.

The paramedics rushed to check and were shocked by the bloody scene before them and the police took the driver for questioning.

Leon was carried into the ambulance with little to no hope for him.

The clouds became dark in the evening around six pm as it started to rain heavily when in the ambulance, Leon Virelli was pronounced dead.
