I saw it all happened again . Me getting ready to battle a stupid war . Him trying to convinced me how stupid it was . Us falling out over this trivial matter . I should have listen to him . I was being so naive and stupid . I should have calmed my hot head , and rethink my decision . It won ’ t have led to his death . He might have been still alive , laughing about how stupid that idea was .
I should have not stop talking to him . He has always worried about me , even when I was completely safe . He wouldn ’ t have walk straight to his death . To defend me .
I recollect how there were gunfire everywhere . Triad members were dropping like flies everywhere . It seemed like my triad were having the upper hand . I spotted a rival triad member about to kill one of my own . I shot him without hesitation at his torso .

“ No .. please no ..” my mind begged .
He looked at me one final time with a sad smile and ran to shield me

None of this was supposed to happen . Why was he here . Why did he throw himself in front of me . WHY DID HE SACRIFICE HIS LIFE FOR ME ? WHY WAS HE THAT STUPID ? HE KNEW I WANTED TO JOIN THE GANG . TO AVENGE MY PARENTS . NOW I AM GONNA LOSE THE LAST PERSON I CARED
