Fight

- Warning! Somewhat gory content-

'Damn, I'm so excited about the date, I hope Mark wasn't lying when he said she was a real cutie!' A somewhat short high schooler with black hair and dark brown eyes was getting ready for his date.

I combed my hair and put on the nicest clothes I have then went right out the door, not wanting to waste time, there were still thirty minutes before the time we arranged to meet up but I left early in case there was traffic.

I waved at a cab outside of my apartment and told him where to go, on the way, drops of water started pouring down and eventually it became a true storm.

"Do you think well get there before 7:30?" I asked the driver.

"Yes, yes, no problem, pal. Having a date, am I right?" He responded.

"Yeah, I hope I get there on time."

The taxi driver turned at the next street then went trough some back alleys, thanks to that we got there 15 minutes before the time. I wanted to give a nice tip but he refused.

Inside the restaurant, I spoke to the lady at the front and she showed me to the table, my date hasn't arrived yet so I figured I'd get some coffee, soon, the time we agreed on arrived.

'Maybe she underestimated the traffic or she got lost, I hope isn't pulling a prank on me.'

I waited another thirty minutes until the waiter asked me to leave, so I did as she said. 'No point staying any longer.' So I left the restaurant into the pouring rain.

'It's weird for such a storm to hit at this time of the year. Thank god I have an umbrella. Even though I only brought it along to give it to the girl if she didn't have one since I knew it was going to rain.'

As I neared my home, I found myself in front of an alley. 'I could take a detour that was the long way home or I could go trough this rightfully shady alley... Well, fuck it.'

But as you can imagine, I found myself face to face with a couple of thugs, they were only high schoolers, like me, but punks none the less.

"Hehehe... What do we have here, huh?" One of the thugs spoke.

There were five of them but they didn't look too threatening, the only one that seemed tricky was a fat one that had a bat and tattoos.

"Leave me alone, dude, I don't want problems today, how about I come back tomorrow and we continue this." I said to the guy, he was now standing way too close to me and he had a repulsing smell of alcohol and... cherry flavored vape? A wired mix but whatever.

"Huh? Do you think I'm that stupid? Retard. Here is what's going to happen, you give us your wallet, phone and that watch of yours... and maybe we won't break every fucking bone in your damn face! No, actually, we will!" A smell of rotting flesh came out of his mouth, I could smell it because he was so close to my face.

"If you want to kiss me so badly you should come out of the closet first. Shithead!"

Using all the force in my right hand that I had trained over the years, I hit his chin with a beautiful uppercut that sent him flying, but he soon fell down on the pavement.

His buddies of course reacted quickly and all four of them attacked me, I grabbed the umbrella off the ground and managed to hit the closest one over the temple with it, he fell to the ground face first, shattering his teeth, I could see blood pouring out of that guy's mouth.

The guy with the bat swung at me but I managed to block it with my arm, though I did take some damage, but he backed off to let the next guy hit me.

The next guy tried to kick me but when he was on only one leg I stabbed the umbrella at him and managed to hit him in the kidney, he was now bent over, whimpering, so I smacked him over the head with my forearm, he fell but managed to protect himself with his hand before suffering the same fate as his buddy, but he was still out of the fight.

'Only two remaining.'

The one with the bat gave it to the other guy and charged at me like a rugby player, or so I thought, but at the last second he opened his arms wide and caught me before I could dodge.

'Shi...!'

I could feel my whole body shaking as my back hit the concrete, I tried to fight back but he got me pinned under all his weight, my vision was getting blurry and both of my hands and legs were locked, but so we're his.

'He's going to headbutt me!'

And I was right, right before his head hit mine I moved mine to the side, he didn't hit the floor as he stopped in time, but I managed to swing my head at his and the top of my skull hit his temple, it didn't do a lot of damage but it was enough to stagger him, he somewhat lifted his leg to gain balance so I was able to slide mine from under his then kicked him in the balls.

He groaned but didn't give up, trying to hit me again but he couldn't manage to since I kept kicking his precious parts, at some point the pain must have gotten to him as he fell to the side, panting.

'I might actually win, holy shit! When I went into this fight I expected a hard beat down but at least would have gotten their boss, but now that I am winning I can really feel the adrenaline rush, is this what fight clubs are all about?'

I got up and looked at my last opponent, it was the scrawniest of the group and didn't seem too thrilled about fighting me, maybe he didn't even want to be here. I decided I had enough of this and will let him go.

"You are free to go." I said in an authoritarian tone. 'I bet I look so tough, hehe.'

"But..." He said in a shaky voice.

"But what?" I tried to seem threatening.

"Come on man, this is the second time!" At that moment I realized he wasn't talking to me, but to someone behind me, I turned around just in time to see that the first guy was now back up and that a knife was hurling to my throat.

"Ghaah!" It stabbed right through my esophagus and the blade was now stuck in my throat.

"You think you are hot shit or something huh? Well fuck you man, look what you did to my man Nicky, you fucked up his teeth, now he can only eat soup, but you, you won't eat anything anymore! Hahaha!" A crazy smile appeared on his face, then, without even letting me get a good look at the man that killed me, he threw a kick and hit the butt of the knife with the front of his shoes.

The knife went flying and hit the wall next to me, the guy them went to pick it up, made a quick slash to get the blood off, then came back to me.

"I can't let this be in vain, you know right?" He then searched my pockets, he got my wallet and phone. "This can be unlocked with a fingerprint right?" He then tried all of my fingers until he found one that worked, then, he simply cut it off.

I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings at this point, and the pain was almost inexistent. At some point the two guys got their friends and they all left, leaving me to die alone.

'It's cold, oh so cold...' I could feel my bones rattling against each other and my soul was spasming as if it was trying to leave my body, so, without much thought, I let it happen.
