The barber:Dc

London was a crazy place to live if you weren't rich or well of. High rent, rampant gang activity, filthy streets that were never cleaned( even though that's what our taxes are for.)

But probably worst of all is how even though the common people were suffering, the government like always spouts lies about how things will change and whatnot...but it never does, does it?

" But I'll be out of here soon, I'll finally be able to get into a good school and live out my dreams."

A black teen male mumbled to himself as he walked through a desolate park. It was almost midnight, a very dangerous time to be out and about but he had no choice.

Living on meat's end and working two jobs just to live he had no choice but to walk home around this time. There was no way he was getting a taxi, those things were expensive and a waste of money.

No, like this he could at least save a couple of quid for his lessons at the end of the month.

It's the only thing he ever looks forward to in his life and if walking at night in the dark sketchy park helps him get those lessons then so be it.

'In any case, I've been walking this way for over two years now and haven't run into any trouble yet.' If only he hadn't jinxed himself at that very moment.

" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" That's when he heard something, it was a scream, the scream of a woman to be more accurate.

Jayden perked up in worry, he had heard screams before in the middle of the night near his apartment...but this, this was different from those.

He had heard it clearly, that wasn't a scream of anger...but of fear.

Jayden hesitated, he knew whereabouts that scream came from but like a lot of humans no one would be stupid enough to go and check it out.

They would just mind their own business and maybe, if there feeling it report it to the police. Jayden hesitated for a second before continuing to walk away at a faster pace.

' It's none of my business, maybe it's just a bunch of drunk university girls having a mental breakdown or something.'

" Ahhhhhhhhh, Somebody help me.!!" Jaden paused. There was no way that wasn't a plea for help.

Jayden looked back and for some reason, he didn't know why but when his mind was telling him to turn around and walk away his body had already started jogging to the sound of distress.

" Hello, this is 999 speaking how may I help you."

" Hi I was walking home from work when I suddenly heard a woman's scream, it seems someone is in distress or danger could you get an officer down her immediately." Jayden asked the operator while making his way over.

" I see could you please tell me your location and I'll have some officers there shortly."

" Yes it's xxxxxxx xxxx Park, I heard it on the North East side...Please hurry."

" Thank you very much, officers are already on their way to your location I'm now advising you to..." Before the operator could warn Jayden to stay away and to wait for the officers, he had readily walked past the bushes and in the clearing he saw something that had angered him to no end.

He saw a struggling girl fighting with all her strength against a man who was pushing her down with his pants halfway down his legs.

" Nooooooooo!! let me go please...please heeeeeelp...!!!"

" Ahah, no ones gonna hear you out here you little slut, now shut up and spread your legs before I make you go unconscious. Either way, you're going to be mine tonight."

" Noooooooo! Someone please..." Her cries of terror spread around the area like an echo but sadly for her no one usually ventures around these parts at this time.

One reason was the situation she was in now. Tears streamed down her face messing up her mascara, she was terrified. One second she was with her friends and the next she was fighting for her innocence.

' Please someone...anyone, dad..mum I'm scared...' Her mind was going blank and her attacker had a wide vicious grin seeing her like this, he loved the look his victims made when they knew no one would come to save them...

*Tap tap tap*

Suddenly he heard a strange tapping sound and looked up subconsciously, but that was a mistake as the moment he did a giant foot had kicked him right in the nose.

*Crack*

"AHHHHHHHH!!FUCK!!!" The attacker screamed in pain while holding his broken nose. The girl in question was absolutely shocked, she was certain that tonight no one would save her from her tragedy...

But here he was, she looked at him with shock...

" WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, RUN!!" Jayden screamed at her before jumping on the attacker and started punching him.

The girl immediately woke up from her shock and got up before running away, she was lipping from a sprained ankle but managed to get away...

*Bang*

The attacker on the other hand managed to push Jayden off of him and kick him away." You fucker, you cost me a nice-looking slut and you broke my fucking nose, your dead..." He immediately went to punch Jayden but he backed away quickly then closed in giving the attacker a one-two to his face.

Though it must have been because of the adrenaline the attacker didn't feel much from those punches, instead he immediately went to tackle Jayden like a rugby player but Jayden caught him and with all his strength threw him over his shoulder.

Jayden rolled from his back to his front and the attacker did the same while glaring at him. Jayden was worried, he was already getting out of breath. Not to mention the 12-hour shift he had just finished, he was almost out of energy.

But he couldn't stop now. The attacker immediately stood up and kicked Jayden's leg which numbed it but Jayden dident fall, in fact, he went on the offensive and managed to bring the attacker into a headlock.

' Good I'll only need a few seconds to chock him out of breath and...

*Scquech*

Before Jayden could react he felt a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen and hesitantly looked down.

He had been stabbed, in the last second before enforcing the choke the attacker had taken a knife from his pocket and had stabbed Jayden multiple times.

Jayden let out a breath before falling backwards onto the wet grass. He stared blankly into the night sky...he saw how bright the moon was tonight and couldn't help but smile.

' I never noticed how beautiful it was...' Jayden thought as blood continued to flow from his open stab wounds.

" Cough...you little bastard let me show you fucking hell." The attacker stood up while gripping his knife ready to end Jayden in the worst way possible...

"FREEZE, DONT FUCKING MOVE.." The attacker was shocked and glared at the person who had interrupted him but when he did he was immediately shot at with a taser and electrocuted with 50,000 volts of electricity.

" Gahhhhhhhhhhh!!" The attacker immediately let go of the knife and fell to the floor while spasming. The police officer who shot his Taser didn't stop until a a few seconds later.

" Cuff him immediately and ask for backup, this is Officer Jenkins requesting an ambulance immediately and other officers in the vicinity we have a code 42."

His partner nodded and cuffed the attacker while he checked on Jayden to perform first aid.

In the bushes, the woman who had found the officers and pleaded for them to save Jayden looked at his bleeding-out body in despair and guilt.

' I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...please live.' Those were her only thoughts while looking on as the officers did everything in their power to stop the bleeding.

Sadly Jayden had lost too much blood and unfortunately had already passed away... The officers looked at each other and then at their, blood-soaked hands.

They cursed while one officer glared at the unconscious criminal.

Jayden who had taken his final breaths had wondered if there was an afterlife.

When he was younger he believed there to be a god but over his short life his belief had slowly faded, but at the back of his mind he always believed there was a higher being watching over all of humanity...

' Ah, I won't even get to finish my lessons with Uncle Jamie.' Those were Jayden's final thoughts before succumbing to the cold embrace of death.
