Alex Frazier 10/1/12 Short story  Boom! The door slammed hard, “Ha-ha, I just made another sale, a lot of money involved.” Chris said with a chuckle. “You need to stop selling that stuff man, you’re going to sell something to the wrong guy one day and get us both messed up one day and I’m not going to be happy about it.”  Brandon Sapp and Chris Oswald were two kids who had a hard time going through school. Didn’t Pay attention, never listened to teachers, didn’t do they work. They just thought they had it made, didn’t have to work for anything. It was no surprise when they decided to drop out and leave home. With no source of money they resorted to selling drugs and also some small crimes here and there...  “Chris, you know I’m trying’ to stay outta trouble. Why you gotta always being this stupid stuff?’ Brandon asked with a worried voice. “Man, I thought we were both in this business… together.” Chris replied.  “Well, I’m trying to get out and get my head on straight.” Brandon replied back. He was trying to study up and get back in school; this wasn’t the life he wanted.  Brandon and Chris had been selling drugs along time since they both left home and moved into together. Both of them faced similar problems growing up, so they had always been close.  “Don’t you think it’s a little late for that?” asked Chris. “Nah, and If you were smart you would too,” Answered Brandon.  “Are you trying to say I’m dumb ‘cause-“Chris said as he was interrupted by Brandon, “That’s not what I’m saying, I’m just looking out for you. You know I’ve always got your back.”  Brandon decided to visit his parents, who he still kept contact with after leaving. They were still open to talk to him; after all, that is there kid. “Mom, I just don’t want to do anymore, Chris has just gone crazy. He is addicted to these drugs. And, he sells them too. This isn’t the life I pictured myself in, and I don’t want him to live this life either.” Brandon’s mom replied,”Brandon I can get him help, but he isn’t going to like the actions we are going to have to take.” “At this time, I’m willing to do anything to just get him straight! Well mom I think I’m going to go home and check on him, see if he is doing okay. I love you, mom… And, uhh, I’m sorry for all that I put you through growing up,” He told her in a low voice. “I love you, and don’t worry about it. I’m starting to see a new you already,” She replied in a pleased tone. When Brandon had arrived back at the house he found something shocking. A police car that was empty but it had the lights still on. He walked inside to something that really disturbed him. Chris, with a gun in his hand aimed straight at Brandon “Did you tell on me Brandon, Because I think you opened your little mouth to the wrong person,” he uttered this out in a low, crazy voice, “ I’ll do to you what I did to them.” He pointed to the floor at two dead police officers. Brandon wondered how someone had found out. He had just told his mom about the whole situation she couldn’t have said anything already. Brandon told him, “Chris listen, I didn’t say anything to anyone. I wouldn’t betray you like this.” “I don’t want to hear it. You sold me out. I know you did, and I’m going to take you down with me,” Chris told Brandon. Brandon screamed, “You don’t have to do this, Plea-.”  But, just like that he dropped to the floor a cold lifeless body. And, as this transpired, Chris sputtered and a crazy man’s chuckle to himself and pulled the trig again, into his own body.
