My Hearts Weakness

by TheGhostOfOurHearts

"Yo you ready for the party tomorrow Johnny?" Javier asked me with an excited tone. I looked up at Javier. I wasn't listening to him rambling on and on... god knows how long. I nodded my head, grinning. "Remember those first few, remember when we would hook up with at least 3 girls every time? Then they would find out and fight over us. Those were good times." Javier said. That suddenly left me breathless. I do in fact remember those... idiotic, immature, and demented times. My smile went away and I stared at the ground. "Well I'll see you tonight, I got to go study at the library." Javier implied.

After that talk with Javier I took a stroll and ended up sitting under the Blue Ghost Willow tree that stood right next to the river on campus. Still remembering those dark experiences, I looked at my reflection in the river. "I'm terrified." I said quietly to myself. As the leaves started to fall because of the wind, I lost track of time to see 2 girls directly across the river. They kept looking over at me, giggling. They were clearly admiring me. I'll admit that one of them was more dazzling than the other... I tried to not make direct eye contact with them since I thought that would make things awkward. After a while of pondering and exchanging looks at each other, I decided to get up and head back to the ROR house.

"Hey, Johnny!" Chip screamed. "What?" I howled back. "Come on the party's going to start soon!" Chip replied. "Oh uh... No, I feel like staying up here tonight!" I said. There was whispering going back and forth downstairs for a minute. "Are you sure man? I mean you're the life of the party!" Chip screamed. "Yeah." I said. I stood laying on my bed until Javier barged into my room with a confused expression. "What do you mean you're not going to the party? Especially since it going to be right downstairs." Javier questioned. I didn't answer him. "Huh? Come on are you afraid of something?" Javier questioned again. I shook my head. "Well then what is it?" Javier questioned once again. "It was yesterday, when you were talking about us years ago... looking back at it, I think it was flat out stupid, in fact it was immature. Like I actually wonder what my mom would think about that behavior... what would my dad think?" I explained. "Oh my go... don't get all emotional Johnny... plus what the hell do you mean immature? That's every man's dream!" Javier said. Chip and Chet looked around the door frame. "For me... not anymore. I haven't even been in a relationship for more than 3 weeks, and now I want someone I can connect with... someone with a heart." I explained. "Pfft... come on guys, Johnny's becoming soft." Javier said walking out of my room.

"Hey Johnny. I'm with you... I want you to be happy." Chet said. "Yeah man, don't let Javier make you think otherwise." Chip implied. I smiled and nodded. Chet and Chip then and there sauntered down the stairs towards our dance floor. I stood up there and put on my headphones. While I started playing what people would call the "Just broke up with my girlfriend and now I'm eternally depressed" playlist, I picked up a picture of My parents and I. I could remember like it was yesterday.

*Flashback*

"Hey Johnny... Go into the store and get you and I some of those doughnuts your mother won't let us have," My dad chuckled, "I'll be in there in just a minute." I opened the car door and shut it gently. Once I got to the pastry area of the store I started to pick out some of the doughnuts, but I didn't know what my dad wanted so I waited for him. It was only a matter of 8 minutes before there was a crowd of people gathering outside the store. I followed them... and saw my dads car... completely demolished... and my dad laying on the ground dead, with 10 gun shots wounds to the chest.

That night I remember laying on the couch sobbing and watching the news talk about my dad. "Some violence occurred the afternoon at the local Growlmans Pharmacy leaving one man dead. We go to on scene reporter Brock Brome." The reporter said. "It was just a normal afternoon. A father and a son going grocery shopping. It was here where Johnny Worthington Jr, the famous Fear Co. scared, and his son Johnny Worthington III parked to go inside, but Johnny W Jr. had to stay in the car for some unknown reason. As Johnny's son went inside, an unknown monster plowed straight into the front of Johnnys car. Johnny clearly stepped out of his car to confront this monster, but was unaware of the horror that would happen next. As Johnny confronted the monster, the man took out a pistol and shot Johnny 10 times in the chest."

"There are said to be no eye witnesses, as there was nobody on the street when the event occurred. As for now Johnnys son will have to learn what it's like to not have a father. But the worst part of it all, is that Johnny never got to say goodbye to his family. Brock Brome MCN News." I never felt so dead inside, now that I lost my dad nobody in the entire world will guide me through life unless I learned the hard way.

*Present*

I took off my headphones, and closed my eyes. The only problem was that the party was in full swing and I couldn't even feel sadness from all the bass vibrating everything within a mile radius.

I really hope you enjoyed. :)
